Food review: Franco Manca, Upper Street | Eating Out | Islington ...
food drinks
Franco Manca, which specialises in sourdough pizzas, opened its first restaurant in Brixton in 2008 and now has 39 across the south.
Two chorizo pizzas and two glasses of organic red wine, for example, will set you back just £23.60.
Part of that is down to its brutally simple menu: a choice of seven pizzas with a few starters and desserts shunted to the side, almost in small print.
For the main pizza course, my friend is in no mood to betray the vegan movement.
Her basic tomato, garlic and oregano pizza (£4.95) – with added veggie toppings (ranging from 50p to £1.75) – satisfies as much as my chorizo pizza (£7.55).

We found out all about how the dough is kneaded and left to rise in wood boxes to help with the moisture before being stretched out and made into pizza!
As I said it was a great night filled with great food and great company!
If you are visiting the Oracle and in need of food and have a love of pizza at a decent price I would highly recommend Franco Manca!
Anna, Look!: Restaurant review: FRANCO MANCA (Bromley)
busyness food value
Living out in the suburbs of south east London can be a bit of a drag sometimes, given the Tube connections revolve around north London, and all the coolest events are generally in central.
As someone who has almost gotten used to the surly ‘you should feel lucky to be eating here’ expression that I’m greeted with at every other central London restaurant I dined in when I have the temerity to ask for so much as a serviette, I was taken aback by such a display of hospitality.
My pizza, Number 6 (Tomato, Organic chorizo) was flawless.
You could add extra ingredients, so I had pesto and onion, two things I love but has not really been an option to add onto your pizza before.
My share of the bill came to just £15, an absolute steal considering I'd had half a starter, a lush pizza and a beer!
New Restaurant Review: Franco Manca in Chiswick | Londonist
food
No longer simply a South London institution, Brixton's foodie favoured pizzeria - Franco Manca - has opened a second branch in villagey Chiswick.
And if our experience at last night's launch party (the restaurant's actually been open for about a month) is at all representative of what diners can expect, W4 residents and those inclined to travel a bit for quality nosh should rejoice!
We sampled so many gorgeous pizze last night, quaffed some quality organic red wine and had more than a few sips of some particularly tart and tasty home made lemonade.
Service is (or at least was at last night's do) especially friendly, exuding with southern Italian charm.
Franco Manca (number two) is located at 144 Chiswick High Road, W4 IPU.
Franco Manca W4 restaurant review 2013 June London | Pizza ...
food
Franco Manca in Brixton Market is something of a legend amongst foodies; open only for lunch, people queue around the block to eat its pizzas.
The lovely tiled floor uses tiles (some dating back to the 16th century) from a villa in Naples that was damaged in the earthquake in 1980; piece of damaged tiles are used to decorate the pizza oven.
The pizza oven is a wood-burning “Tufae” oven constructed on the site by builders from Naples, and weighs eight tons, getting to 550C.
Sad foodie that I am, I was there early to ensure that I ate the very first pizza produced from the oven on the restaurant’s first service when it opened.
However, no one wants to eat elaborate food every day, and it is a delight to see someone with such passion trying to produce the very finest pizza that can be made.
Franco Manca North Laine | Brighton Restaurant Reviews ...
food
Founded in Brixton Market in 2008, Franca Manca's Brighton plot assumes the rustic and gourmet stance of this humble pizzeria with a restaurant plot in North Laine.
A 130 seater restaurant primed for those with a love of all things savoury and doughy, Franco Manca doses the town on only the finest in sourdough pizzas alongside a roster of craft beers and wines in a pastoral, rustic and re-purposed inspired setting.
Expect to gorge on pizzas the likes of their wild broccoli with Gloucester old spot hand sliced sausage and their traditional tomato and mozzarella.
