About Ramona
Ramona is a casual, trendy pizza restaurant in Ancoats that has built a loyal following on the strength of bold pizzas, craft cocktails, and consistently warm service. The fireplace and bar create an inviting backdrop for everything from solo lunches to group celebrations, and the venue is notably inclusive—welcoming dogs, families, LGBTQ+ diners, and those seeking a transgender safespace. Reviews consistently praise the food (roast chicken pizza with gravy, tater tots, and tenders feature prominently), the great beer and cocktail selection, and the attentive, personable staff who make guests feel genuinely cared for. Bottomless brunch at £29 per head is flagged as excellent value. The atmosphere is lively and social—perfect for those who thrive in a buzzy crowd—with free Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, and full accessibility. Vegan and vegetarian options, late-night food, and happy hour drinks round out an offering that feels both accessible and carefully considered.
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.
