Cons:

• "The base was just soggy which spoil the pizza for me."
• "The pizza was not savoury at all, it was insipid."
• "Awful! And I am normally a huge fan of Franco Mancas. My pizza arrived completely raw."
• "Their pizza was terrible. Burned and all the ingredients had sunk in the middle so the crust was left as just a burner mess."
• "The pizza was bland. Literally no taste, nothing!"
• "One of the pizzas was raw in the middle and the toppings on the other seemed barely cooked."

Service

Pros:

• "Great service and excellent value for money."
• "The staff was so friendly and they access despite we were a big group of people."
• "Such an amazing food and service!"
• "Last Friday, I went with a group of friends to have dinner at the Franco Manca located in Broadgate Circle... And what an experience! The staff were very friendly and attentive at all times."
• "The clearly overwhelmed staff did a great job."
• "The service was also insanely fast and within the hour, we were seated, had ordered, had eaten and had paid."
• "Very authentic Italian dining experience. Friendly and welcoming staff make dining here a pleasant experience."

Cons:

• "Service a bit hit-and-miss, we never did get that beer we kept asking for."
• "Our experience was rather disappointing. Service was as if we were a massive inconvenience to them."
• "When we were seated, took us 20 mins before someone actually bothered to serve us. We almost walked out."
• "We waited for quite some time before the staff even took our order."
• "Appalling service. Was ignored for hours of the night."
• "Poorly managed with rude staff (mainly the manager) who told us where we could and couldn't sit."
• "Service was super slow too."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Very nice atmosphere in a great lively location with a good menu variety."
• "Yes, the atmosphere on Broadway square is great."
• "Amazing value for central London. Easily under £10 per person."
• "Truly satisfying, no matter which Franco Manca you go, the food is of the same high quality."
• "The atmosphere is great because it’s not too big of a place so it doesn’t get too loud."
• "It’s great pizza in a great location."
• "One of the places where you can go on Sunday evening in the City."

Cons:

• "The only thing is that it is very loud if you sit inside. My head did kinda hurt because of all the noise."
• "I don't really like Broadgate circle as it's always busy and loud."
• "Nice atmosphere, perhaps a bit too busy and doesn't make you feel you can take your time enjoy your time with friends."
• "The tables inside are somewhat cramped too so you might end up with someone else's elbow in your back as they cut through their pizza."
• "On the bill, you also have to pay an optional 10% for the service, but since it was added to our total at the end, I don’t think it was optional?"
• "The place is quite difficult to find if you don't come out directly from the station, due to all the construction sites."
• "A waitress told us we couldn't possibly sit here as it was a table for six so she had to move us to the front door where there was a table for four."
