Honest Crust

Honest Crust seriously raised the benchmark for quality pizzas when they hit the scene with their mobile wood-​fired oven a couple of years ago. They became regulars at markets such as Altrincham’s and there was always a queue of customers waiting hungrily for their wares.
Fast forward to today and though there have been a few new pizza makers setting up their stalls in markets, at festivals and in bricks-​and-​mortar venues across Greater Manchester, they are still held in the highest regard. More so for the fact they have a permanent site inside Altrincham Market House which has itself won awards for being a fantastic food destination. Their blue mosaic tiled pizza oven (shipped over from Italy) is a thing of beauty and sits proudly producing probably several hundred doughy masterpieces each week.
Their thin, beautifully charred sough dour pizzas are available in a regularly changing range of options, though they are probably better-​known for their Atomica which includes ‘Nduja, (a hot, spreadable sausage).
The city centre, once devoid of seriously decent pizza, now has the likes of PLY, Rudy’s, and other restaurants upping their game; Honest Crust are, for me, the real trailblazers and have to be eaten at repeatedly.

Whats not to like about Honest Crust? They serve amazing pizza which has been ‘wood fired’ in a proper pizza oven…
The toppings are always excellent quality and taste fresh. The prices are also reasonable for the quality of food which you get. It is often a place I will visit when in Altrincham. However, if you arrive at a busy time then be prepared to wait up to 25 minutes for your pizza… I suppose this shows how good they are. I am still yet to try the indoor honest crust in the market hall as I have always prepared the outside food stalls of the market but I will eventually get round to trying it out and see if its as good… Thumbs up from me

My first encounter with Honest Crust was little over a year ago at the first bout of Friday Food Fight and I have been a very big fan ever since.
I love their pizzas, made on a sourdough base and using the best quality and fresh Italian ingredients, they are cooked in less than 90 seconds in their wood-​fired oven and taste incredible.
On this occasion I shared an Honest Crust pizza with Neil C. who was as equally impressed with the pizza as I was. We went for a pretty classic pizza — Portobello mushrooms, garlic oil, tomato and mozzarella. It was served on a wooden board, straight out of the oven and was divine!
They have around 8 pizzas on their menu to choose from, including some rather amazing specials. Notably the smoked pig cheek, red onion, fennel seed, tomato, chilli, pecorino and mozzarella pizza. Yes! pig cheeks on a pizza! No wonder i like these guys,
