Food Quality
Pros:
"Superb every time! Fantastic produce make beautiful and tasty dishes, authentically Italian."
"Another fine Franco Manca pizzeria, friendly staff, great sourdough pizza."
"Food came fast, ingredients were fresh and it was not pricey."
"Original Italian pizza! They have a short menu but all the pizzas are very yummy!"
"The pizza itself was not quite the best one I have had, but it was still tasty and I would happily eat there again."
"The food is gorgeous, real Italian pizzas cooked in stone oven, gorgeous garlic bread, excellent service and very friendly."
"One of the most delicious Neapolitan pizzas I've ever ate!"
Cons:
"Pizzas are good, however was a tiny bit disappointed as chicken option is completely removed from the menu."
"We ordered three pizzas for take away and we were highly disappointed."
"Very reasonably priced if on a budget but didn't think the food was great."
"Complete under cooked and nearly raw in places. I was actually scared to eat it."
"Food arrived practically stone cold, the pizza was uncut, how does a pizza arrive 30 minutes after ordering cold?"
"The meat special was just a dry piece of burnt bread with 5 pieces of sausage on top and they were all clustered in the middle of the so called pizza."
"The food that arrived also wasn't what we had ordered and it took a further 10 minutes to get the waiters (grumpy) attention."
Service
Pros:
"Service was fast and the pizza was delicious!"
"Great staff, efficient and friendly."
"The service is very quick and the waiters polite."
"What really made our evening special was the vibrant, outgoing atmosphere recreated by the staff."
"Service was very good and friendly."
"The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming atmosphere."
"The waiters were attentive and friendly and treated us well."
Cons:
"THIEVES OPERATING IN AREA. During our meal, a man came to the table holding a paper for us to read something."
"The worst dining experience in ages."
"Difficult to catch the waiter's eye."
"The person that claimed to be the assistant manager was obnoxious and condescending."
"A chain gone wrong. Wait is excruciating (for a table), wait is excruciating (for an order), wait is excruciating (for some *olives*)."
"Service was terrible. We got shown a table and no one came to give us the menu."
"Today service for lunch time was poor."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Massive thanks to Bruno and the rest of the existing team who always make me feel home."
"Very clean restaurant. Someone disinfected fridges and worktops whilst we were there."
"Franco Manca was recommended by an Italian friend of mine who lives in the area. I must say, it's one of the best places to grab pizza in London."
"The atmosphere in this restaurant is very good. The interior design is incredibly rustic with a brick and beam feel."
"For me (having travelled around Italy eating at some of the best pizzerias in Napoli and in other cities/ countryside across the country) the qualities that make a good pizza is the dough and the quality (i.e. freshness) of the ingredients."
"Great atmosphere with really lovely outdoor seating."
"Gorgeous venue filled with a fun, friendly, well managed, hard working team."
Cons:
"Unfortunately we visited on a Saturday afternoon - not the place to eat if you want to avoid screaming kids."
"But unfortunately the all over atmosphere was cool and not really welcoming."
"On top of it, shoddy service, noisy atmosphere, people streaming in like cattle and service is more like being on a conveyor belt getting pulled up to a trough to munch on cheap, so-called 'pizza.'"
"The Heavy Metal music playing at volume 10 sucked all the atmosphere out of the place, no one could hear anyone else talk."
"It can be a bit noisy inside."
"Today it was awful guest service: an hostess which was today a woman with high tail. She refused us to take a table."
"But I should say that I had a table of 10 ppl next to me!"
Value
Pros:
"Good service, and incredibly good value."
"One of my absolute favourite London pizza restaurants. The pizza in here is really a work of art, and at that price, you will be hard pressed to find a better value meal anywhere."
"The very reasonable price makes it a frequent must!"
"The prices are very reasonable and pizza of great quality."
"Incredibly good value, without having to go through the usual app and voucher nonsense."
"Prices were cheaper than Pizza Express just down the road and 10x better quality."
"Such good value, nowhere else can you get a margarita for £6 of that quality."
Cons:
"For what it is, this joint is waaaaay overpriced. Shall never return."
"What is disappointing is the price of the drinks and the quality of them."
"Very disappointing, even tho the prices are very tempting, but pizza is not the greatest quality."
"Cheap food. The pizza had hardly any toppings on it even though we ordered a 'ham and mushroom' pizza."
"The only thing that was ok was the burata starter - guess you can't go wrong with opening a pack."
"The reason I gave this a two star was because the quality of ingredients used was very good!"
"The food was good quality but I wish they were more generous when ordering extra topping on pizza."
