El Mineh Bakery Liverpool

El Mineh Bakery in Liverpool is a Lebanese-style bakery that runs on manoush and wood-fired pizza. It's the kind of place where regulars come back for the same few things: manoush with oregano or cheese, pide, and pizzas like the garlic chicken and the supreme. One local likes the char-grilled cheese-filled kakeh bread for breakfast with a takeaway coffee, and the base on the sujuk manoush is described as thin, soft and easy to eat.

Fresh from the oven is the common thread. Pizzas come out hot, and one longtime customer who now lives an hour away still makes a stop here whenever they're back in Liverpool. Another has been dropping in most mornings for months and praises the crew and the cleanliness. We've also heard the staff are friendly and happy to chat about what's on offer, and two of the pizza chefs, Koda and Wassim, get a shoutout from one fan.

It suits a few different occasions. You can dine in, grab takeaway, collect in store or have it delivered, and the coffee and breakfast options make it an easy morning stop. There's free street parking nearby, a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, and card and mobile payments are accepted. The doors are open early and the kitchen runs late most days, though it's worth checking the hours before you head in.

To be fair, opinion isn't unanimous. Locals are a little split: a couple of people found the food only average, one felt the cheese was a bit heavy and the garlic chicken pizza a touch dry, and there are grumbles about delivery orders going wrong when they come through third-party apps. If you want the best shot at a good meal, going in or ordering directly is the safer bet, and it helps to mention how you like your manoush or extra toppings up front. Prices are generally seen as fair for what you get.
