Quick info
About American Pies Mcr
American Pies Mcr is a pizza restaurant on Blossom St in Manchester, and the city's first Chicago style deep dish pizzeria. Its deep dish pies are built on a garlic butter parmesan dough crust and a marinara made from nine ingredients, and the pepperoni version comes with hot honey. Detroit-style pizza also appears on the menu, so the choice is not limited to deep dish. Starters and sides lean on the garlic bomb, which comes in brisket and bolognese versions, and on tater tots served in a large portion. A cocktail menu sits alongside the food. The restaurant opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Deep dish and Detroit style pizzas anchor the praise, with a pepperoni Chicago pie and a veggie Detroit pie described as fluffy and full of toppings, and the cheese called very tasty. The garlic bomb comes close behind, one reviewer singling out the brisket version and another saying it stretched to two meals. Fried chicken thighs, a nduja honey starter, mozzarella sticks and a huge portion of tater tots also earn mentions. Not everyone was convinced. One found the margherita decent but short of the photos, another said the bolognese garlic bomb lacked garlic with unmelted cheese in the centre, and a first-time deep dish eater enjoyed it less than expected. Service splits, with some finding staff friendly and quick and others describing slow food, unavailable drinks and a host who seemed put out. Reviewers also flag the automatic 10% service charge, with one noting a tip prompt that only a staff member could remove.

“Was expecting big things on the back of Brewski.. great atmosphere, couldn’t fault the service..I was taken aback by the charge for sauce and think one included with your meal should be apt. If you want more - then fair enough charge extra. We opted for two different deep pies over the Detroit, a side of salad & house fries. More than enough to leave us for to burst (and that was leaving the crusts) 10% discretionary service charge added & a charity donation added.”

“Visited American Pies last Wednesday and I blown away by the whole experience. Great food, particularly the Brisket Garlic Bomb and Chicago Deep Dish pizza. The cheese was very tasty. Additionally , all the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Vinny specifically stood out, his knowledge in food and local culture was really interesting. I will be back soon .”

“Amazing detroit style pizzas, I had the garlic bombe and that was enough for two meals! Worth the money, stunning mozarella sticks, we came on a Sunday so a limited menu but amazing regardless. Quick service, attentive staff.”

“45 minute wait for food, 2 different drinks we tried to order weren’t available. Food was hot and really tasty when it arrived but nothing that I’d rush back for. Pizza’s were actually quite small for the price of them. Huge tater tots portion though and the starter selection was amazing. Gives a Frankie and bennys vibe but more expensive. Probably wouldn’t return. Staff were friendly and mostly efficient although service was quite slow. It wasn’t so overly busy that this was justified either. Good cocktail menu.”

“American Pies - Pizza by Brewski Manchester's first Chicago style deep dish pizzeria. Our Pizza Pies are packed with flavour, our crust is made with garlic butter parmesan dough, our rustic marinara has 9 ingredients and the pies are loaded with truly absurd amounts of mozzarella. Each menu also contains outrageous cheesy, doughy, garlicky starters and sides and some beautifully slow cooked meats.”
