Pizza place with vegan options - Edit
Forbici in Manchester Centre sits on the corner of Cross street and John Dalton street, neighbouring with Albert Square and the Town Hall. I booked a table through their website. There is service charge of 10% of your bill which I think is fair! Solo guests and couples are served quicker. Larger groups, naturally, have to allow more time for the food to be prepared and served at the same time for everybody. The venue is cosy with minimalistic decor. The vibe is relaxed and casual. I had a vegan Calabrese pizza which was absolutely delicious! The dough was nicely chewy, full of flavour - outstanding! They cut the pizza four ways with scissors, according to Neapolitan tradition. You can cut each piece in half with fork & knife or scissors, then eat with your hands, and dunk the crust in a dip. The pizza had the right amount of yummy vegan cheese, and I loved the taste of vegan N’duja and fresh basil leaves. The smoked almonds (nibbles) werevery tasty, as well. Forbici uses slow-fermented biga dough, which is a type of pre-fermented yeast dough (not sourdough). Their dough is proved and slow-fermented for 12 hours at 24 Celsius degrees to 5.0 pH. It wasn’t until later that I learned that Forbici had recently been recognized as one of the top 100 pizzerias in the world at The Best Pizza Awards, and the Chef Davide Argentino had been recognized as one of the world's greatest pizza chefs! He is clearly very talented and he must be a supertaster, like me (but I’m not a chef!) because having tried many fermented dough pizzas in Manchester, when I took a bite in Forbici, I realised that pizza was now my favourite pizza ever! All the waiters were very welcoming, warm and friendly. The whole brief experience made me want to come back, and keep coming back for more.
