I’ve always been envious watching any American sitcom where the characters gather in a bustling pizzeria pulling apart a gigantic pizza enormous slice by enormous slice. Staring out my window like an exhaling damsel, the large shaped pizza slice sized void in my heart was left unfilled – that was until Big Mannys’ Pizza slid straight to my rescue.
I mean, the name is a give away but these pizzas are colossal in size. I’m talking ‘angle the box to get through a doorway’ sized pizzas. Astonished with my first encounter, once I levelled up on both hands to manoeuvre a slice to my mouth, astonishment soon turned to bewonderment.
Must orders from here has to be The Tilly Cheesesteak (its local collab pizza with the Tilly Butcher) and for the veggies, The Grazing Squad is the bomb. The Lil’ Twist pizza bites and mini NYC style cookies from Cookie Cult need to make it onto your order too and if you manage to eat all that in a night – I salute you!
Taking the city by storm, Big Mannys’ fed demand from its beginnings in The Adams to now opening up its first shop front on Pittodrie Street.
