Chris HainesSeptember 23, 2015Very lively and authentic Italian Pizza place. The service is quick and friendly. Garlic bread for starter is amazing, and the specials are off menu items on the blackboard on the wall. Great value!
OJ BratApril 5, 2016Obligatory stop whenever I'm in London craving a pizza pie. Beautiful sour dough pizza, great ambience and nice local beers. Make sure you pay Franco Manca a visit.
ChrisJanuary 3, 2015Having re-visited, I have to say it was fantastic! Excellent value, super service and gorgeous pizza! Exceptional and worth the walk up from Oxford St/Soho/Covent Garden If you're in the area.
I'm Italian. I suggest this pizzeria if you want an authentic/cheap Italian pizza! Even the basic one is really good. Try the Burrata Pugliese as starter, it's the best mozzarella I had in London!
Callum StottFebruary 22, 2015It's been said before but this is definitely some of the best pizza in London. The base is just fantastic. Queues start to get long around 7/8 so arrive before if you're looking for a quick bite.
Diane DerrienJanuary 29, 2016Sourdough pizza to die for ! The queue is worth the wait, and moves rather quickly anyways. Very good and efficient service, love the specials of the day and fresh ingredients to add ! Bravo
MarcMarch 31, 2018I reckon one of the best pizza in london, Franco Manca is a chain but this particular one is special. Great dough, ingredients and service
Matt Ta-MinJanuary 6, 2015Very authentic pizzas at a really cheap price for central London. Very good quality. Do note all pizzas come on a sour dough base.
Emiliano CapassoApril 27, 2014Good place, good pizza, the closest to a real pizza from Naples.. Also better than a lot of Italian pizzerias around Italy. Also very cheap
Bijan YoungJune 13, 2015Some of the best pizzas in town. All of their 6 standard ones and three specials to choose from. Order extra tomato sauce.
Liam HutchinsonOctober 24, 2017Their sourdough pizzas are a perfect balance of what a great pizza should be! Also enjoyed the Stilton dip for the crusts.
Alexander KhozyaOctober 3, 2015Very tasty pizza, especially for its price. All pizzas are under 8 pounds. Service is fast. Place is quite noisy, forget about quiet talks
Amanda FoleyMarch 5, 2014I thought the pizza at Tottenham Court Rd was just as good as other Franco Manca locations (and good value for money!), but I wouldn't get the burrata or the garlic bread.
Brent GummowMay 11, 2014Deliciously simple sourdough pizza that is among the least expensive meals I had in town. Try the regionally brewed "no logo" lager too. Really enjoyed it.
Ευσταθία ΠαρασκευοπούλουSeptember 26, 2016Nice and polite staff, delicious pizza!! Reasonable prices :) sooo close to ucl!
Faranak XcllNovember 6, 2017Good for price, fresh pizza dough and yummy. Waitresses are really good and polite
Jack DavisFebruary 3, 2015The burrata starter is lovely but the pizzas are the real star. Best pizza in London and very good value!
Vinod DiwakarAugust 10, 2014Pizza the best I've had outside Italy. Not gimmicky, small selection of outstanding pizza.Garlic bread enormous so will do 2.
Nacho SánchezDecember 13, 2016Ask for the meat and veggie daily specials. Sourdough pizza at its best! Lemonade was not that good.
Liis SaarNovember 27, 2015Some of my favourite pizza in London. Never disappoints - menu is simple and service aleays top notch!
Naty SiniSeptember 14, 2014Pizza amazing! ! They don't take any reservation but the queing is really fast!! 'House' wine not excellent!
- Ben BesseyNovember 27, 2015Truly excellent value. The burrata pugliese is wonderful. The wines are also vibrant and very good value.
RichardMarch 15, 2015Quite a small menu of pizzas but very tasty and a nice selection of wine to go with it.- Andrea LazzariniNovember 8, 2014Excellent Napolitan pizza. I advice you to also order the "burrata" as a starter, amazing!
Gabriele BorrelloMarch 29, 2019Neapolitan pizza made everyday with love, passion and fresh ingredients. Strongly recommended!
Robert AccetturaJanuary 2, 2015Good pizza. Don't let the idea of sourdough turn you off. It's a mild flavor difference.
MargaretJuly 20, 2014Amazing pizza! Hot and pretty loud inside but the outside is lovely. Great wine too!
Pizza. Sourdough, stone baked pizza. Daily specials board.
Imran GhoryFebruary 6, 2015Great pizza at unbeatable prices. Expect to queue for a table during peak hours though.
BobbyOctober 12, 2014Lovely homemade sourdough and big pizzas. Not enough cheese in my opinion but does such a thing exist??
NabilDecember 5, 2014Pizza really is as good as they say. Wine is really not. A little disappointed in the latter, but great experience nonetheless.
- MilkyJanuary 15, 2014Authentic italian sourdough pizza with generous toppings! Dessert menu is a let down, though.
Hatim AlghamdiMarch 30, 2015It's always busy so if you are in a hurry just order takeout and sit outside
pizza is rather good here certainly worth the trip - and very low price in comparison to chains 7/10
Rosana CórdovaJuly 21, 2015Good pizza place. Reminds me the traditional Italian pizza. A little bit noisy, though.
Daniel BrujisNovember 21, 2013You can't go wrong with a #4. Or really with anything. Get the olives as well.
Robin HowieAugust 20, 2014Was distinctly jealous of the number 5. Anchovies would have been the perfect hangover cure. Tasted awesome
ChristianMarch 8, 2015Reasonably priced but not very good pizza. It's soggy but maybe I'm missing something. Maybe they're not trying to make them crispy. They're just very rubbery. You can do better than that.
Simon RegisDecember 19, 2013Great food, great service and a good price!!! Not the place for a quiet conversation!!!
AntonioApril 3, 2017Don't settle for overcooked / burnt pizza! I complained about to the waiter who rudely dismissed my remark with "It's how we do it in Italy". Well, I'm from Italy and that's not how we do it.
