Too busy, not enough room to move about. Staff not exactly friendly and food was pretty bland, franco manca used to be a good cheap option but it's not cheap anymore.

Passing through London for the weekend and staying nearby, we enjoyed the pizzas and the welcome although very limited in English (the English classes are far away...). Don't miss out on this pleasant place with affordable prices.

We went to this pizzeria during our holiday in London, good pizza, friendly and helpful staff, in particular Medina, a sociable, helpful girl who also knows Italian very well. Medina attentive to our needs and ready to satisfy them all.

I recently visited this very busy Franco Manca in Convent Garden, and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food, as always in a Franco Manca, was fresh, fast and delicious. The pizzas never fail to disappoint. The service was friendly, but as the restaurant was so busy, it was a bit slow at times. The tables are also very close together as it’s such as small restaurant- so maybe not the best visit for larger groups. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal and if you’re looking for some delicious, well-priced pizza in London - you cannot go wrong with Franco Manca.

15% service charge for a service which is worth 0% service charge. The pizza is ok but not good. Very crowded place and rude waiters

Great as always, Harish worked his butt off to welcome the guests as people still come with no booking (as it used to be) so it’s hard work to satisfy everyone. And because my app didn’t work I still got my 7th pizza on the house 🍕 ☺️

The food was nice and the service was good. Would’ve like if staff had of checked that everything was okay a few minutes after serving food but everyone was polite. Really good location and busy after 6pm on Sunday. Affordable for what you got, especially in this location. Food order : Main - Pizza No. 4 (Roasted cured ham, ricotta, mozzarella, organic tomato & wild mushrooms) Starter - Baked potatoes, chorizo, organic tomatoes and mozzarella (On specials menu as “bites”) Although the person I dined with thought their drink was flat (coca cola) and I thought mine was too (lemon sanpellegrino)

We tried the Marinara and Italian smoked beef pizza at Franco Manca, and both were delicious! The dough was perfectly cooked, light, and flavorful. The Marinara had a rich tomato taste, while the smoked beef pizza had a great balance of smoky and savory flavors. We also had lemonade, which was refreshing. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was quick. A great spot for a quality pizza experience!

⭐☆☆☆☆ We visited this restaurant with our family on Sunday, February 2nd, at 4:30 PM to enjoy some pizza, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The female server was extremely rude and seemed angry while working. I understand that people can have bad days, but this was beyond that—she was outright unpleasant and unprofessional. Good customer service is essential in any restaurant, and unfortunately, we did not feel welcomed at all. Very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this place based on the service we received.

The most absurd walk-in system. You can't leave your number so just have to wait in the tiniest of foyers in front of the entrance with no seats, and I was expected to for half an hour. Maitre D not remotely accommodating

Waited for a very long time to get our *reserved* table. Stood in the freezing cold as people pushed in. We were not the only ones affected by the queue jumpers and this made a terrible first impression. We did not get a straight answer from any of the staff. On a more positive note, the pizza was very good.

We planned to go to eat our NYE dinner at Franco Manca in Covent Garden. Once arrived, we had to wait. Then another person came and asked if we have the table booked. We have never booked a table and we have always been eating in that location. As soon as we said no, his response was: I am sorry you cannot accommodate to eat our pizza as we are full. Very sad to actually hearing that and I my response was: Thank you for catching us out. Disgusting experience

Nice and welcoming place, right near Covent Garden, but pizza is sacred for an Italian. Good compared to many others although I would leave it a few seconds longer in the oven to make it crispier. Excellent chilli oil on margherita!

Food was delicious, and she was super accomodating when we asked if we could switch out one of the wine bottles for another one as they weren't keen on it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere to accommodate a large group.

We ordered two pizzas and they were really good. Although this restaurant cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination, they have a gluten-free pizza base and it was really successful and delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy, especially at Christmas because of its decoration and music. In addition, the waiters are very friendly, and especially Meleque who has served us very well. Good price for being in the center of London, so highly recommended!!

A lovely evening in London with Franco Manca and our waitress Felix. At first we thought the store was full. However, you will be put on a waiting list and after a short time you will get a table. The pizza wasn't typically Italian but still very good and fluffy with plenty of toppings. Drinks are also very good and the service regularly checks whether everything is good or something else is needed.

Five of us called in while in London nearby for a business lunch. Very different as you have to do down into an underground area. The decor is modern but with an industrial/classic feel. I am not a fan of pizza but we all ordered pizza as recommended by one of our group and I am glad we did as it was very good - as far as pizza goes. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for somewhere interesting and quirky. The only down side was it was a bit pricey but I suppose we were in London!

Ambiente encantador, personal encantador decepcionado por la corteza de pizza! Esta solía ser mi pizza favorita antes del Covid. Lamentablemente, parece que algo le ha pasado a la masa o al método de cocción, o a ambos, lo que significa que ya no está crujiente y totalmente empapada en el medio. Pensé que era mi pizza ya que tenía ricota, pero tristemente mi marido estaba con salami y mozzarella era el mismo. ¡Qué lástima que solía frecuentar este lugar tristemente nunca más! Supongo que eso es lo que crear una cadena le hace a un gran producto 😢
