About Ramona
Detroit-style pizza is still a rare thing in Manchester, and Ramona — housed in a converted MOT garage in Ancoats — does it properly: thick, crispy-edged, square-cut, and cooked over a wood grill. The tater tots and truffle tots have taken on a life of their own, pulling in as many mentions as the pizzas, and the frozen margaritas are the drink the room keeps ordering. Live music runs through the week, and the stage gives the place an energy that feels genuinely earned rather than engineered. Bottomless brunch is the occasion people keep coming back for, with staff like Mateo, MK, and Harrison named repeatedly for keeping the pace and the mood exactly right. Happy hour is worth knowing about before you arrive.
Ramona lands in the category of venues that are as much about the cocktails as the food — a destination choice rather than a convenience one.
In the last 90 days, Ramona has drawn 141 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
