“Something a bit different”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2013

Croma is great for a quick pizza. They do a wide variety of pizzas that you will not see elsewhere. The full English is my favourite.

“Excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2013

If you are feeling skint, Croma is just the ticket! They offer a lovely selection of pizzas priced at around the £7-8 mark. Some are very traditional, some are a new take on a classic and others, such as the crab and samphire pizza I ate a few days ago, are a bit more inventive. The restaurant itself is very... More

The pizza's on previous occasions have always been good but on this occasion the pizza base was not very good and the topping was luke warm. My friends had similar complaints. Also... More

“Dreadful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2013

Not a restaurant but a warming tray for frozen pizzas. You are better off buying a deep freeze supermarket special. Dreadful. Not pizza.

“Flies in Chorlton Salad”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2013

For those that eat at Croma, I can’t say I’d recommend rushing back. I've eaten in both the city centre and the Chorlton restaurants numerous times since they first opened and think they're going steadily downhill. On our last visit my wife found 2 black flies in her salad so asked the waiter to take it away, which he did.... More
