Mckeown's Slices

McKeown’s Slices is one of those setups that feels very Manchester: small, scrappy, and powered almost entirely by graft and good taste. Kyle McKeown only started making pizza fairly recently, teaching himself the craft slice by slice, video by video — and somehow turning an old taxi rank into a fully functioning pizza operation.

The focus is firmly on New York–inspired slices. Big, foldable, and cooked with confidence, they hit that sweet spot between crisp and chewy, with bold sauces, quality cheese and toppings that don’t try to reinvent the wheel. This is pizza that knows exactly what it’s meant to be.

Service is refreshingly simple. Grab a slice (or a whole pie), take it away, or wander across the road to The Horseshoe and eat it with a pint — an arrangement that feels unofficial in the best possible way.

There’s no overblown branding or forced hype here — just great pizza, made by someone who clearly cares, in a space that shouldn’t work but absolutely does. One of those places you root for immediately, then keep going back to because the slices are genuinely class.
