Third meeting of the NQ Wine Club: let’s discover the wines of Piemonte!
We will focus on four wines made with indigenous grapes from Piemonte, one of the most famous regions for wine production in the world. Each wine will be paired with a carefully selected tasting prepared by the chefs of Noi Quattro and The Pasta Factory.
As usual, a welcome glass of prosecco awaits, followed by the chance to explore four wines selected by our hosts Gary Newborough “The Aristologist”; Italian Restaurant Awards judge and one time owner of The Market Restaurant, (the first ever restaurant in the Northern Quarter) & Davide Rinaldi, WSET level 3 qualified, and originally from Piedmont.
Each wine will be introduced and described by the host of the evening, and paired with an appropriate taste prepared by The Pasta Factory and Noi Quattro chefs, and vegetarian alternatives will be available for those that include meat or fish.
Pick up a piece of original art with your pizza – we declare the Galleria Quattro open! Our first-ever exhibition is now adorning the walls of the
restaurant while our dedicated space for fortnightly artist-led wine- and pizza-fuelled workshops is ready to welcome students in the early part of 2019. Perfect for perusing for presents, the inaugural show continues into the new year with work by 12 Manchester-based artists, offering a range of styles and prices, all less than £100, and some less than £10.
It’s all here – ceramics, textiles, watercolours, photography and illustration – and includes limited-edition prints by Tim Rushton, who designed the typeface for the Northern Quarter street signs, along with Ash van Dyck, who also curated the hang. Our exhibitions will change quarterly, each with a special launch featuring wine and, of course, pizza, but you can pop in at any time to see what’s on right now…
Here at Noi Quattro we are proud of our Italian heritage and we want to share it with you through the food we put on your plate.
We are four friends from Italy, and Noi Quattro means “us four”. It can also apply to our brand-new lunchtime special set menu, which has four fabulous pizzas to choose from: Marinara with tomatoes and fresh herbs, Margherita with mozzarella, Verdure Bio with mushrooms, peppers, courgettes and aubergine, and Spianata with spicy salami and chilli.
Served with an Italian-style salad and a bibite (soft drink) or half of draught birre, it’s just £10, Tuesday to Friday midday to 3pm.
Check out our full menu HERE.
Fancy a pizza the Noi Quattro action but equally fancy a staycation and not venturing out today? No problemo at all – we’ve just launched a delivery service with Uber Eats, so you can now enjoy our full menu in the comfort of your own home. You’ll find all your favourite pizzas listed on the site, along with our cuoppi and stuzzichini antipasti dishes, and even our Italian-inspired desserts – the perfetto night in.
Our chefs will give you skills and tips to make a delicious artisan pizza from scratch. During the masterclass you will be shown how to make hand-stretched dough and you will use made in Italy high quality toppings. The “gran finale” will be by our famous shiny red oven where you will bake your pizza!
The class is suitable for all pizza lovers: from beginners to homemade pizza specialists.
The masterclass includes a welcome glass of prosecco, a “Noi Quattro” apron and bag.
Book your place and eat your own Neapolitan style pizza! Join with friends or maybe with your work team!

Noi Quattro, 120 High St, Manchester, M4 1HQ – Visit Now
Noi Quattro is a stylish, modern Italian pizzeria in the Northern Quarter. Very convenient for tram and bus transport, it is also nicely set off around a corner, making for a relaxing and intimate spot ideal for dates and well-earned lunch-breaks.
The Cuoppo di Mare was like fish and chips, but fresh and light
As well as serving fabulous, authentic pizza, Noi Quattro also specialises in Cuoppi, a street food consisting of fried pieces served in a paper cone. I went for the Cuoppo di Mare, the seafood version. This was like fish and chips, but fresh and light, served in a crisp batter. The portion was also extremely generous. In fact, the cone was a cornucopia of delight which kept on giving: here was a giant prawn, here was a squid, a school of whitebait fillets … the sea gave up its treasures and this diner was very happy.
The beer was also excellent, an Amarcord lager called Gradisca, vitalising and easy to drink.
A wonderful aroma came up to me from the moment the plate was set down on the table
Then came the pizza itself. This was the Vesuvio, a warm and friendly pizza of broccoli and sausage and chili served on a creamy bed of mozzarella. A wonderful aroma came up to me from the moment the plate was set down on the table. In all honesty, I’d have paid good money just for the dough. It’s a stretched, friendly dough; the kind of dough that makes normal bread seem boring and sad.
And somehow, despite the pizza being huge, this diner never felt stuffed. A spike of nice espresso at the end was it all took to stir me.

Noi Quattro Pizzeria was our venue of choice last week and we could happily eat it again, and again… give us more pizza! Such subtle marketing that we didn’t even realise that Noi Quattro’s initials are NQ. Guess where they’re based, in Northern Quarter. Nicely played guys!
Yes, we do realise that it means ‘the four of us’, so well played the four of you 🙂
It’s such an authentic place with proper Italian waiters and chefs, all with the lovely accent and attentiveness you would want. It even has Italian music in the background bringing back all the memories of Rome brb – off reminiscing
Ok, we’re back to tell you what we had, and it was all so amazing that they’re all our favourites. Even more so on the plus side, it caters to different dietary requirements of Vegetarians and Vegan;
Cuoppo Di Patate – A complete mix of potatoes, which is perfect for those of us that can never pick which to get. It had potato fries, potato slices, sweet potato fries and a dough ball – Bravissimo👌
Dall’orto Bio (with Mozzarella) – Fresh veggie frenzy pizza with a tomato base all made in a proper woodfire oven adding the right level of crispiness – Highly recommended!
Bufala & Pomodorini – If you don’t want a tomato base, not a problem. Just try the ‘Bianche’ options for which we got mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Personally prefer a tomato base but we finished this off because it was so good and fresh
As much as it was fresh, it was fast providing the right level of service for our empty bellies. Love this place and am definitely going back

PLENTY of plant-based pizzas are on the menu at Noi Quattro, where authentic Neapolitan bases meet tasty toppings. It’s the place to head in the Northern Quarter for meat-free treats without lacking in authentic Italian taste.
Choices at Noi Quattro are updated regularly to get the best out of seasonal ingredients, and right now there are four vegan options on the main menu, and another one on the specials board. The Superga was the special when we last popped in – seeing a super-healthy combination of juicy portobello mushrooms, red radicchio leaves and mixed seeds added to the overnight-proved, Naples-style oven-fired dough, then drizzled with a truffle sauce and sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley.
Sticking with the mushrooms, we’re fans of the Tris di Funghi – porcinis, chestnuts and portobellos are teamed with garlic, extra virgin olive oil and genuine San Marzano DOP tomatoes, which crop up again on the Marinara alongside aromatic fresh basil and oregano. The Dall’orto Bio brings together organic grilled peppers, courgettes, aubergine and tomatoes for a bit of a Mediterranean vibe, and Avezzanese has roasted potatoes, roasted onions and rosemary.
There’s also lots to pick without meat or dairy from the piccoli antipastistarter choices. From the “Cuoppi” section of the menu, the Cuoppo di Terra is a streetfood-inspired vegetables, courgette flowers and zeppoline fritter dish, and the Cuoppo di Patate is a paper cone filled with chips, skin-on fries and sweet potato fries. From the “Stuzzichini” section, the Scugnizzielli and Verdure is a snack of bite-sized fried doughballs served with mixed grilled vegetables.

The Italian pals behind Shudehill pasta restaurant The Pasta Factory know their dough – and now they’re proving it with their new pizzeria, Noi Quattro.
The Smithfield Square site serves a simple menu of Neapolitan pizza and cuoppi – cones full of fried street snacks found in the south of Italy.
Two giant, dual wood and gas fired ovens take pride of place in the open kitchen, blasting the slow-proved dough at 400°C for 60 to 90 seconds to give a chewy, charred crust.
The menu features a range of rosse (tomato-based) and bianche (white) pizzas, with toppings ranging from simple marinara and margherita to tris di funghi (San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, porcini, chestnut and portobello mushrooms) and montanara (mozzarella fior di latte, Italian sausage, wild broccoli and smoked scamorza cheese), plus plenty of vegan options.
Diners can sit at the ceramic-tiled counter to watch the pizzaioli at work or test their balance after a glass of wine on the swing-seat table at the centre of the restaurant – the most sought-after spot in the house.

Manchester is slowly becoming renown for its Pizza. Whether you love classic Neapolitan pizza or pizza with a modern twist, Manchester has it all. The most infamous being Rudy’s Pizzeria. For a while they have been the kings of pizza in Manchester, but I’ve found somewhere, that definitely gives them a run for their money!
Noi Quattro is one of the newest additions to the Northern Quarter. It’s tucked away on High Street in between the Cat Cafe and Mackie Mayor in the modern part of the NQ.
Don’t let the modern outside fool you, inside they have managed to create a paired back and simple pizzeria with the concentration on good food. The menu is exactly what you would want from a Napoli style pizzeria, Cuoppi, Scugnizzielli and of course …Pizza!
Over the past couple of years my boyfriend and I have been lucky enough to try nearly all the pizza on offer in Manchester from Honest Crust, Purely Pizza to Rudy’s and I can safely say that Noi Quattro is one of the best!
Whilst it does offer classic Neapolitan pizza, one thing about Noi Quattro that gives them an edge over the rest is that they actually cater to Vegetarians. My boyfriend recently became a vegetarian and this unfortunately means that Rudy’s is no longer somewhere we can eat tougher, as they no longer offer the option of vegetarian mozzarella. Well, Noi Quattro thankfully does!
So, if your looking for a beautiful place to eat in the city centre, which is relaxed, affordable & delicious then make sure you stop by this gorgeous pizzeria.
