...and that is Croma.
Croma was founded in Manchester and two of the three braches are located in this fine city, one in the City Centre just behind the Town Hall and the other one in up market, bohemian Chorlton. (The other one is in Boston, USA of all places).

Croma started the trend for pizzas with unuusal additions like tandoori chicken and egg and bacon but still has the staples beloved of traditionalists like Napoli packed with olives and anchovies and Fiorentina with egg and spinach and American Hot with peperoni.
