Franco Manca Putney Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The sourdough pizzas were simply amazing, with a perfect balance of flavors."
• "Pizza was delicious, though I wish the dough had a *tiny* bit more structural integrity."
• "Absolutely loved the pizza at this restaurant! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful."
• "Delicious pizza with a perfect blend of flavors! The crust is golden and crisp, toppings are fresh, and the sauce is mouthwatering."
• "The pizza is disgusting, the ingredients like tomatoes are made from China, we order 2 Margherita and after 2 hours we had stomachache, nausea and diarrhea."
• "Pizza was rubbery. Very slow service; got the dessert wrong twice!"
• "Pizza was average - both in terms of the base and the toppings."
• "The pizza took over an hour to come - we watched about 80 deliveroo pizzas take priority over our order, so frustrating to watch."

Cons:

• "It’s too hot so the top and bottom are done quickly but middle is not heated up."
• "Pizza arrived stone cold. Hadn’t been near a microwave or oven in hours."
• "Cold pizza arrived with incorrect dietary requirements."
• "The pizza was terrible, bitter and burnt."
• "I ordered extra buffalo mozzarella for £3 and there was barely any on my pizza. It was also tasteless and soggy."
• "Ordered two pizzas with a 30 minute ETA. Food preparation took so long."
• "I was also very disappointed with my pizza... it was tasteless and soggy, breaking up and dropping ingredients everywhere."
• "The pizza is disgusting... we order 2 Margherita and after 2 hours we had stomachache, nausea and diarrhea."

Service

Pros:

• "The service here was amazing, we were greeted by every member of staff and our table service was exceptional."
• "Inviting atmosphere to the mouthwatering pizzas and attentive service especially Nikola who made us more than welcomed."
• "Amazing Food. The manager was very engaging suggesting the best ingredients combination based on my preferences."
• "Great food and I would like to thank the staff and particularly the manager, Umberto, for arranging to have 20 pizzas delivered on a busy Saturday night!"

Cons:

• "It took a good 10 minutes for a waiter to come up and get our order. And in this time another couple were seated right next to us and served before us."
• "Called up the restaurant for them to say “let me check for you” and hang up on me, twice."
• "The kitchen must have served at least 25 takeaway pizzas/ orders before serving us. A quick pizza took 40 minutes with an empty restaurant!"
• "Terrible/rude service (by two younger women). Pizza dough is delicious as per other restaurants. Poor job on toppings."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "If we're ever back in London, we would definitely drop in again."
• "The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff provided excellent service."
• "The environment was lively and busy. Highly recommend Franco Manca Putney!"
• "Possibly my favourite restaurant on the whole of Putney High Street, Franco Manca offers a high quality dining experience."

Cons:

• "It gets a bit busy but that's only an indication that it's worth going to."
• "Loud and cramped environment, I must be getting old, but apart from a nice glass of red wine, the rest of it was totally forgettable."
• "Claimed to be open at 11pm online we came in and we were seated only to be asked to leave by “management decision”."
• "The restaurant itself is nothing extraordinarily special. The decor in this one is a little more drab than others of the chain making it rather dark inside."
