Reviews
Lovely place if you want pizza in a setting a bit less in your face than Pizza Hut. Fab pizzas, although the starters are a bit small and overpriced. Service is generally better in the front of the restaurant rather than the big and overcrowded back room. If you plan to turn up without a pre-booked table, ring beforehand to check they're definitely open. I've headed down there a couple of times and discovered that although advertised as open, they were firmly closed.
Irma's is one of Leigh's most enjoyable nights out. It's a great place to meet friends, and big groups always seem to be welcome. They specialise in pizzas done the Italian way, so there's none of this heavy, greasy dough just crispy, light bases covered in delicious toppings. They almost feel healthy! There is a really good selection of favourites, ranging from the unadventurous to the spicy, plus a selection of specials on a board (bit hard to see, as it's a very glossy mirror). They also do lovely ice creams. The only downside would be that it can be a bit noisy, and therefore hard to have a conversation without shouting a bit but you just have to go with the buzzing flow! I also love Black Cat Bar with a passion, but that's a different story!
This is a great place to eat and one of the most consistent restaurants in Leigh. Great pizza, friendly staff and buzzy atmosphere. For ice-cream lovers you have to try some of the great flavours.
I ate here about 3 weeks ago (after not being there for 6 months or so) and it was perfect for what we wanted during the day. I've never been there for an evening meal as I think it lacks that evening sort of vibe to it (there are far better evening restaurants within 5 mins walk). However, if you want first class pizzas with good service and family friendly then you can't go too wrong. Ate there once on Christmas Eve during the day and even though it was rammed to the walls it was still a lovely meal. It's a bit pricey but it's decorated well and the staff are attentive. Shame the other reviewer had a bad experience.
Irmas is a great restaurant. They have free and safe Wi-Fi, pizza comes relatively quick and good sized portions. They could improve by having a room for children.
