As popular kosher restaurant Mozzarella is set to open its long-awaited city centre branch, we chat with owner Ben about the move, and find out what’s new at his Prestwich gelato parlour, Glida.
While Manchester is full of culinary delights, it can be tricky for those who keep kosher. Glida and Mozzarella stand out as two remarkable establishments reshaping the perception of kosher food. Both restaurants, under the leadership of owner Ben, not only offer delicious dishes but also focus on inclusivity and health-conscious options, making kosher cuisine accessible to a broader customer-base.
A beloved staple in Prestwich for over nine years, Mozzarella has garnered a loyal following for its authentic kosher Italian cuisine. As part of its expansion, Ben is opening a new city centre location on 15th December 2024, bringing kosher dining to the heart of Manchester. This new branch aims to cater to the bustling city crowd with a slightly streamlined menu for quickfire professionals, emphasising Mozzarella’s signature Italian classics, including traditional pizzas and Mediterranean delights like shakshuka and falafel.
Ben has invested in an authentic pizza oven that utilises pellets instead of traditional wood, ensuring that each pizza achieves the perfect base. The new location will maintain Mozzarella’s commitment to quality by using high-quality, authentic imported ingredients with all the popular flavours.
One of the standout features of this new venture is its inclusive menu, which is entirely kosher and halal. The new branch will also provide ample vegan and gluten-free options, reflecting Ben’s dedication to making kosher cuisine enjoyable for everyone.
