"The waiter was lovely (howbeit inexperienced)."
"The pizza was lovely. The aubergine was under cooked though, but the service was brilliant."
"The food had some great ingredients, but my pizza was over seasoned and charred underneath which spoilt the overall taste."
"Some of the front of house staff were very customer focused, whilst others did the bare minimum."

Food Quality
Pros:
"The pizza was lovely. The aubergine was under cooked though, but the service was brilliant."
"The pizza was good but a little undercooked."
"The pizzas are delicious, the dough is well prepared and authentic."
"I get it, it's a cheap pizza, but it wasn't tasty at all."
"The pizza edges are really tastier than other pizzas."
"The menu has a healthy vibe."
"We were conventional and ordered a margherita which was tasty."
"The prices are unbeatable for what you get."
Cons:
"The food was good, not the biggest menu but that's not a bad thing."
"The food was great, but the only thing letting it down that evening was lack of origination from the service team."
"We are regular in Franci Manca but been disappointed several times by this particular brunch."
"Pizzas are underdone, cold and messy. Yesterday my pizza arrived with a massive hole too."
"Delicious as always. Also Franco Manca has continued the Eat Out to Help Out and all pizzas are £5 from Monday-Wednesday until the end of October which is a bonus."
"Franco Manca will continue to be a favorite of mine!"
"The pizza was tasty and prices are reasonable, but some members of staff unfortunately don't seem to be very attentive or kind."
"I'd come back for the food quality, but it's a bit of lottery (depending on who will serve you)."
Value for Money

"The quality of the food is so amazing looking then how much it costs, suuuch good value for money."
