Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

• "Great location next to Borough market and lovely atmosphere with interesting interior."

• "The experience was slightly ruined by a mouse running around the restaurant."

Value

Pros:

• "Lovely food at a reasonable price."
• "Each pizza is only around £10. Worth a try!"
• "For a family of four, you can expect to still pay under £50!"

• "Promot service, good food, reasonably priced."
• "Franco Manca's usual gift for good quality food produced quickly at a reasonable price."
• "Great service and very good value for money."

Cons:

• "The average prices at Franco Manca get higher and higher over the years and there is also a 12.5% fee for service added to your bill."
• "The pizza 4. dough was excellent, but the topping was so sparse and uneven that I was unsatisfied in the end."
• "Had pizza here a few months ago and it was really good. This time it was a bad copy of what it used to be: a bit soggy, small, and worryingly leaning towards 'italian-style'."
• "The pizza l ordered has potatoes on it. REALLY!! It was horrible and tasteless."
• "Also, they had run out of lamb sausages as well as the spicy chicken, I mean it's a staple of your main courses."
• "Visited on 13th January for lunch, food was ok but we ordered a glass of wine each which was served in thick water tumblers."
• "Disappointing overall. Tasteless cream cheese sauce to top it off not the best either."
