We thoroughly enjoy this place, the food, wine, staff, atmosphere and the changing 'specials' menu all deserve 5*. Some months the visits have been weekly and the staff have made our visits more personable each time, considering how busy and the amount of people they accommodate we find this very endearing. Highly recommended, don't be put off by the queues at times to be seated, you're never waiting for long and they always check to see if you require a drink whilst waiting. Enjoy!

Absolutely stunning!
The food was amazing! Asked the waitress (feel rude because forgot her name) to recommend a pizza for me as couldn't choose from the awesome choice they have and she did good!! When getting the order she didn't scribe it, just remembered the whole order which was all starters, sides and mains plus drinks.. Was mega impressed! ***** will go again when in the area
Ok, a little confession to start with. I’m not the greatest fan of pizza. I did go through a phase of liking deep dish pizza but I suspect that I’ve developed a Pavlovian dislike for pizza as I ate a lot of it on the run (sometimes literally!) in the middle of very long shifts as a junior doctor.
Have tried several of their branches. This one convenient as close to the station and usually quick to get a seat if not immediately.
Service was fine. Although where we were sat the table has not been cleaned and got oil and pesto/green sauce over my arm and not enough napkins at the table to clean myself up and use it for the meal.
Fan of their pizzas usually when they have new specials I like to try them out. The meat one I had on this occasion was just ok. Have had more exciting ones before for their meat specials. But dough and way it is cooked is still great. Would still recommend going.
Love a Franco Manca pizza. Tasty, chewy, thin wood fired base and a nice variety of available toppings. I like how they try to source local produce, and their non-traditional combinations. There are also a few menu items for people who would prefer not to have pizza (shocking that they exist, I know).
It's good value for money too, which is reflected in the fact that tables are quite small and it's a bit cramped. That being said, the atmosphere has a nice buzz and when the weather's good and they open the front it's nice and airy. Besides, you go for the great pizza, not for the elbow room.
I had a perfect gluten-free pizza! They were very friendly and accommodating. The gluten-free crust was perfection! I prefer mine well done and they offer that as an option when ordering online as well.😋
I came here last Friday, my friend and I managed to get seated straight away. The waiters were attentive and placed our order quickly.
The pizza’s came out quickly, and were both hot and tasty.
I’ve been to a few of the Franco Manca chains, this one is close to the station and in a good location.
A sourdough pizza franchise sounded like a crazy and risky idea when the first restaurant opened in 2008 in Brixton Market. Will the general public get and appreciate the difference between sourdough and non-sourdough? Are there sufficient pizzaiolo chefs in the UK to cope with the increasing demand? Is sourdough, a dough that can be so different from one restaurant to another, a homogenous product for a nationwide franchise? These are probably questions that Giuseppe, the founder of the pizza empire, wondered himself by 2008. Franco Manca is a family-friendly restaurant with delicious pizzas, although the dough, I reckon, is a bit chewy and sometimes it comes a bit burnt. I don't go very often because of gluten intolerance. Still, I love this little Italian corner available for everyone who wants to enjoy a cheeky pizza treat on a gloomy and rainy day.
The pizza is very great!!For the price it's so tasty. Recommended.
One man from the service could be nicer.
Franco Manca has been our favourites for tasty sourdough pizza! Limited 8-10 types of pizzas and great selection of vegan food too! They also have their daily specials! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly! All in all as usual great experience!
What an amazing experience, I have always been sceptical about sourdough pizza but oh my gosh I am in love. Amazing chilled environment with warm and welcoming staff that make you feel welcomed and are very attentive.
They are very good with the little children that just loved their kids pizzas that came in heart and bunny rabbit shapes for the kids and they just loved it.
I will definitely be coming back with the whole family soon.
It's okay to eat here. Good pizza, but it didn't wow me.. if you're hungry and up want a pizza then go but I'm sure there are better pizzas in this world.
Decent pizza place with vegan options. The pizzas are good but doesn't really stand out. Do note that they're not sliced here. Garlic bread was disappointing, more like a mini pizza with some garlic slices,hardly any garlic taste and aroma at all.
