Franco Manca

Incredible value. For this price, I don’t get how we can get such delicious pizzas. They are using an incredibly chewy, moist, tender sourdough, that makes it hard to come back to traditional pizzas. Plus, the service is ultra-​friendly. We love it so much that we come here several times a week.

I’m praying this chain doesn’t become like pizza express as it expands… and it’s expanding at the speed as light due to its immense popularity. The pizza recipe is simply DELICIOUS. If I were them I would keep it under lock and key. these guys just churn out world class pizza after world class pizza. Their ingredients are also such high quality and the menu is wonderfully simple. I love their «non-​branded» beer and the environment is attractively minimal. All very well thought through. Did I mention they seem to be able to bring you pizza to you milliseconds after you ordered it? Staff are also very friendly. Now I’m not a fan of employment discrimination on the grounds of nationality but I do hope they continue to only hire Italians — it lends the chain such an air of authenticity. Viva Franco Manca!

Worst pizza we’ve ever had. Picked it up with great anticipation but after a 5 min drive home were faced with a stone cold limp soggy piece of bread that more resembled middle eastern flat bread than pizza base. A smattering of vaguely tasty ingredients that also seemed undercooked altogether resulted in a totally disappointing unsatisfying experience. Never again!

Lovely pizza, and coming from a Native New Yorker that really means something!
Reasonably priced and delicious!

I’ve never seen this restaurant not busy, so I went ahead and gave it a shot. My friend and I went on Friday night and were told to wait 15 mins, which was pretty spot on. You have to shuffle to your chair a bit because the tables are close together. The pizza was tasty and we were offered an additional chilli tomato sauce (which I think they were trialling) free of charge, also yummy!
Overall, the staff are nice, the prices are reasonable and the food came fast. I will definitely go back.

Really enjoyed a quick bite to eat on Lordship Lane. We waited about 10 minutes for a table for 4 around 8pm on a Thursday night. The front of house was excellent and kept us informed how long the table was going to be, she was as good as her word.
Of course all about the pizza’s but they were happy to increase an order of bruschetta to 4 pieces with no extra charge. So yeah the service is nice. Check out the specials board for some interesting toppings. Wine was cheap and tasty. The pizza’s themselves are amazingly priced, they are pretty doughy, which fills you up but they’re all under 10GBP. They came out very fast.
I’d def order takeout too. Less than 40GBP between the 4 of us, one glass of wine. Enjoyed it.

I’ve been looking forward to Franco Manca opening in East Dulwich for such a long long time, I love FM so having one literally within walking distance was like a dream come true!
Me and the boy went along tonight on their opening day, I know of expected maybe a few teething problems and hiccups but everything was super smooth! There was about a 30 min which was fine (and quite expected!). I’d been in this building when it was previously a gastropub type thing, I have to say they’ve done an amazing job revamping this place, it’s completely unrecognisable from what it used to be!
It didn’t take too long to decide what to have, my boyfriend went for the chorizo and mozzarella and I went for the meat special which was wild boar salami and cavolo nero. If you’ve been to FM before, you know how amazing the sourdough base is. If you haven’t, you need to go to FM immediately! The food was on point, exactly how it was in the other branches I’ve been too. Perfect base, awesome toppings and just all round amazing. The staff were lovely and were obviously well prepared for a crazy hectic night too!
I’m so so pleased that Franco Manca have opened close by. This is gonna be dangerous!
