I stopped in a Franco Manca in Bath on a U.K. trip last year and it was so good. I ordered a Margarita pizza with a side of pesto to dip my crust in. I dream of this pizza and there's nothing comparable around me. I was going through my bookmarks, so someone go and enjoy pizza for me please read more

Came on a weekday and it was fully packed had to wait for 5 mins to be seated. (Got one small table in the corner empty) since our table was in the corner I guess we were kinda forgotten by the servers. Waited for about 20 mins for the waiter to show up. You can basically make your own pizza here and add any number of toppings which are available. The pizza dough here is so soft and moist. I guess it's way different than NYC PIZZA. I would not recommend this restaurant to someone who needs fancy decor or want to come on a date night as this place can get pretty noisy with so many people around. Loved the food but would not say their service was top notch. read more

Looking for good pizza, all of the Franco Manca's have great reviews and a good reputation, so we tried it out. Long wait (about an hour) - expected to be honest, but they have an excellent reservation system, where you can check your spot in line via your smartphone browser! Food is quick and cheap. Hot fired oven pizza, though pretty well made. I actually thought our pizza was undercooked a bit, and a bit doughy in the middle, but overall it was quite good. While the menu is small everything is simple and well done. No frills. Service is great, because the turnover is so high, they are always around and moving quickly. For the price, this is a great value. For fairly cheap, good pizza, in a central location this is the place to go. read more

Came here with a friend since this was a new happening pizza place. The place was super packed, and the pizza was alright but I am a New Yorker so my standards are kinda skewed. The prices were good and the service somewhat quick. read more

I'm not a pizza person, at least that's what I used to think before I started studying the art of the neapolitan pizza for months. This place is the real deal. They use slow rise sourdough that had the right texture, taste, and chew that was baked in a wood fired oven. The chef even domed (raising the pizza to the top of the oven where the heat and smoke is) the final 5 seconds to give it that finishing touch. I ordered the most basic, cheapest (the best deal in my opinion), first item on the menu: Tomato, garlic, oregano 4.95 pounds. ($6.50ish). The tomato sauce was fresh and bright. The garlic wasn't burnt. The oregano came through. Make sure you drizzle with the chili oil or olive oil that are on the tables. I got mine take away and walked the streets of Soho with pizza box on one hand and a slice in the other. I walked by a homeless man and sat down with him to split the pie. Food tastes better when shared. That pizza was more than I could eat alone, yet I enjoyed every bite. In a world filled with mediocre to cardboard tasting pizzas, this is the epitome of what a pizza should be. I ordered a pizza oven for my backyard. I'm using this as a base to measure all my pizzas that I'll be making from scratch. read more

Great pizza. Really loved it. Came out hot and fast and the crust was amazing. Hot chili oil on the table yummy. Looked like a local place. We went to a show earlier in the week and saw a smaller one that looked like the original. Really good pizza read more

Decent price, but very limited choice of toppings. The crust is soft, which I wasn't expecting and didn't care for. I like mine to be crispy. The wine is nice and great price as well. We were also awkwardly rushed even though we had a full bottle of wine to finish and pizza left on our plates.. skip. read more

Credit where it's due: Fantastic pizza. Amazing crust and overall delicious at a great price. But... they don't slice it and give you crappy butter knives. My MIL was struggling and the waitress wouldn't bring out a slicer or offer any help. Very strange... Also, they DO NOT OFFER VEGAN CHEESE. It came up in my search for vegan pizza and was the sole reason I chose this place for 5 people. That said, the pizza was still amazing so just know this going in. You'll need to order without cheese. Worth noting: very busy, extremely hot upstairs due to the ovens, and loud. Not great if bringing an older group along but probably fine for younger people. read more

Great tasty pizza at really low prices. £6 for the basic pizza which is pretty filling, served quickly and super tasty. The beer selection is limited and not great but the house wines are really nice. If you like pizza (who doesn't?) treat yourself here. read more

Franco Manca - Zucchini pizza - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

One of our favourite pizza places! This location is quite busy so if you don't fancy the wait, they do take away which you can order online or in person. Great simple menu with awesome bases, a great tasting pizza and enough to satisfy any pizza lover. The lemonade is great and the starter menu is a tasty treat before the pizza arrives. The prices are another great point about Franco Manca and whether you are grabbing a quick bite to eat or sitting down to really enjoy the evening, you won't have a big bill! The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is that the service could be better. The first time we ate here, they forgot our starter, the next time they forgot our lemonades and another time, we made a mistake on our order which we quickly corrected with the waiter and if looks could kill....I would not be writing this review. It seems at some places it's fashionable to not care but a smile and excellent service goes a long way! Great pizza, great location, pay them a visit! read more

This place was recommended to me by several local people but I do not understand why. U.K Italian food is different than American-Italian. The pizza was just so different I did not love it! read more

Incredible pizza! Would definitely recommend if you're hanging out anywhere near trafalgar square.

Yum! Delicious pizza for a good price. We ordered the #6 and #7 and a bottle of Trebbiano wine. The place was packed but we only had to wait 10 minutes for a table by the window. Quick service and friendly staff. If we lived in London this would be a regular spot for us. read more

Great place to sit near covent garden. Great prices, have great kids menu. Pizza very good, also had a salad, very good quality

First of all the service is wonderful. The pizza was very tasty and the dough was amazing. The pizza options are limited but the options should please most everyone. The ingredients are top notch and the anchovies were excellent. The cost of a basic pizza is very reasonable at £6 to start. The homemade lemonade looked great and will have to try it. Will be back for sure. Only downside was no soda options. read more

This was probably the best pizza I've had in a long time, service was quick and attentive and the pizza came out fairly quickly. Cost was very good and the beer was amazing! Would highly recommend just for the atmosphere and service, but that plus the amazing food made it a 5/5 experience. Highly recommend it to anyone who considers themselves a pizza lover. read more

Quality, cheap eat in Covent Garden! Mainly pizza, but hey, they know how to do it really well. Fresh and tasty ingredients used - I got the Veggie Special pizza of the day, which had extra pecorino cheese, yellow and red peppers, fresh rocket greens, and impressively tasty (pitted!) olives. Not oily or greasy - fresh and light, if bready. The end crust is quite bready - that's my jam, but not everyone's favorite type of pizza. The crust/bread under the main part of the pizza though was quite thin. A bit logistically difficult to navigate if you have a lot of toppings (to fold the pizza or not to fold...). Would have 5-ed for the food alone except that the service was very inattentive. Getting a table to start with seemed disorganized (the hostess wasn't writing names down but trying to remember who to seat in which order... and wasn't always doing a great job with this). The waiter did not read out the specials but told me to get up from my table and read the sign. We were not asked how the food was during the course of the meal. And finally, our waiter never gave us the check! Had to wave the hostess down to get our check... like, did they want us pay or not? Clearly the place was very busy, and as long as we were proactive we got what we wanted, but definitely this place is understaffed for how popular it is. The hostess explained that probably around 4 pm is the only time it's less busy. Anyways, we were happy with the bill -- 15 pounds for two pizzas and a bubbly water. Quality, price, location, vibes of the restaurant all on point. Service needs improving (hire another waiter or two!). read more

My friend took me here after sightseeing all day. Their pizzas are simply amazing! Fresh ingredients, thin crust, I couldn't have asked for more! The price was very reasonable. read more

Have been for first time with colleagues and really liked it, never been treated with such a great pizza, truly authentic! And since then have been couple of more times. read more

I'm a huge pizza lover, and wanted to try Franco Manca due to their good reputation. What I got was probably below what I was expecting; the pizza was really good size, but the toppings were incredibly sparse, even though I asked for extra. Maybe I just chose the wrong pizza or got a lazy waiter or something, but I just felt like there was something missing. The crust on my pizza was huge and slightly burnt too which didn't help. At their prices I think it was ok, but could have been so much better. read more

One of the best Pizza's in London. Fresh, delicious sourdough pizza's are always welcome in my world. Not much to say apart from TRY IT! You won't be disappointed. read more

The pizza was awesome! Not to mention the service. When we got to the restaurant it looked pretty busy. The host sat us right away. Small place with delicious food. The crust was amazing!! Thin with chewy soft sour dough edges. Cannot say enough. So happy we came! Thanks!! read more

Its delicious and the place is buzzing as ever! The size and the taste is bargain for the price its offered at in this part of London!

Great find- everything has a unique twist to it- in a good way. sour dough wood fired pizza with unique high-quality delicious ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, wild broccoli, wild boar, lamb sausage, Stilton cheese... good salads but be careful, the vinegar on the table has a subtle kick to it. I liked it but it was too spicy for my kids. read more

I had this pizza twice while I was in London! Once delivery and once sit in. Atmosphere is busy and fun and the service was great. All the pizza we got was delicious, especially the margherita! Sourdough base for the crust which is so yummy! Got seated quickly despite how busy it was and got out with the perfect amount of time to see our show! read more

Delicious, simple, well-cooked, sourdough pizza that is truly the best I've eaten in the UK! Great place to go on a cold night - just be prepared to queue as it is popular...and for good reason! read more

Yummy pizza for everyone!!!! Get there early or wait but the wait is well worth it. Crust is thin. Slightly chewy and the toppings are Bueno! read more

For the price good tasting pizza and value for money. Also the ambience was rather nice. We had a table downstairs and felt roomy. Not many choices on the menu, but that can make ur life a bit easier when chossing. House wine was below average but resolved with ibuprofen and aspirin this morning read more

Reasonably priced sourdough pie. I loved the sausage on mine, super tasty. Needed a ton of the chili oil and extra flavoring. Good service.

Good pizza but I never really understood the hype. Wholesome food although I wouldn't queue ages for it.

Outstanding meal and a great value. We had the "Franco & cantarelli grana, olives & mixed salad". Wonderfully fresh. Then the tomato, garlic and caper pizza. Delicious! Also enjoyed a bottle of their house wine. They've got two types of olive oil on the table - one has a cayenne pepper in it - it's hot but very good! Total bill was 36 pounds - a bargain for this quality and neighborhood. read more

Wow!!! What amazing pizza. So worth the wait. Everything from the appetizer to pizza was extremely incredible. Would love to have a chocolate pizza on the menu for dessert which could use some improvement. A great find in the neighborhood. read more

This is a must for families that LOVE pizza, esp thin crust!The dough and its Ingredients are fresh. They have regular cheese pizza but also irregular toppings such as chorizo or wild pig fennel salami. The wait on a Saturday night was 15mins. The restaurant is big enough to take groups. We are here for a week. We will probably visit 3-4x before we leave. read more

Great Naples Italian style pizza. Very fresh ingredients. High quality. Great value for money. A margherita is around 6£. But, they have no coke in their drink menu. read more

Unbelievable taste in the sourdough, extremely high quality toppings, and amazingly low prices. Just don't expect a short queue....
