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.

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.

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.

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

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 😢
