Business leaders networking at the Peach 20/20 Conference  

17 Jul 2025

Nell's Pizza is a must visit for hospitality pros...

The Atlantic Club Manchester Tour will be making a beeline for Nell's Pizza and a masterclass in independent brand-building.

We'll be meeting founders - Jonathan & Charlotte Heyes - the team behind Manchester’s much-loved venues Common, The Beagle, and Port Street Beer House. Nell’s tells a story of spotting the gap, scaling with soul, and making big ideas feel personal.

Brand storytelling that sticks

Nell’s doesn’t just serve New York–style pizza, it celebrates it. From the giant foldable slices to their signature 22" pies, everything is designed to feel bold, joyful, and unpretentious. Their voice is playful, their visuals pop, and their vibe is unmistakably theirs. Every detail from menu language to merch builds a story of craft, fun, and flavour.

Founder-led vision

Jonny and Charlotte bring years of grassroots hospitality experience. They didn’t chase trends, they created their own lane, turning a pizza craving into a scalable, community-rooted brand that now spans Kampus, Common, and Altrincham, with more to come.

Lessons in modern hospitality

- Slow-fermented dough, fast-casual vibes
- Local sourcing + NYC attitude
- Interiors built for Instagram and families
- Ice cream sandwiches, frozen cocktails, and merch that sells

For those in hospitality, Nell’s is a live case study in how to grow without losing your voice, and how storytelling, brand clarity, and operational sharpness create sustainable success.

Atlantic Club Manchester runs 10 & 11 September 2025. We have just 30 VIP operator places available. To join us email becky.dundee@peach2020.com.
