Franco Manca in City of London, Westminster

Walking I noticed this small pizzeria characterized by a wood oven. The furniture is typical of an Italian trattoria. The staff is friendly, rapid and attentive to the customer just as you expect in Italy. The pizza is exceptional. The dough is well leavened and, therefore, light. The condiments are of excellent quality. Cooking is perfect. Excellent beer and ice cream also fully satisfies the palate. The account is adequate.

Pizza correctes mais pas très sympas.ils parlent italien entre eux mais pas de chance on comprend tout...pas avenants

Mycket god och prisvärd pizza. Åt nr 2 (margerita) och nr 6(pepperoni) Trevlig miljö och trevlig personal som gärna pratade om senaste Spurs matchen :)

Ordered 4 gluten free pizzas.all 4 were very good and very tasty.They came with a 50% reduction and free delivery.Whats not to like.Fab thanks !

We could not recommend this place enough! We organised our son’s bday party in the area downstairs, it was amazing, the team were incredibly thoughtful and well organised. In particular big thanks to the wonderful manager Danny, she took excellent care of us from lunch till the evening. Every detail was simply perfect, the food and drinks delicious. We used to live in Italy so have high standards on any Italian food and this is the real deal! Everything was so easy, all the guests were happy, the whole team was amazing, the food perfect, this place is a little piece of Italy in central London. Grazie Mille per tutto!

I waited at the door for several minutes. The restaurant was not at all busy. A waiter looked my way and moved on. Then I was waved carelessly to a table by the long window. The menu was on the table. It took me a couple of minutes to choose which pizza, and which glass of wine. I waited. I waited. A waiter looked my way and moved outside and yawned. I waited 8 or 10 minutes more. A passing waitress looked my way and smiled. I got up, thanked the waitress for smiling, and left. I went to the Sainsbury’s opposite and bought some snacks and a drink, and took them back to my hotel room. Thanks for a fabulous evening, Franco Manca, Westbourne Grove.

Didn’t want to pay the “optional service charge “as the service was slow and the receipt said “optional . Manager came over at the table and started screaming at me telling me I must to pay service charge !!and I didn’t have choice ! So awful behaviour especially as was a kids tables our booking ! Also he is supposed to be professional right ?serving on tracking suits and going around treating customer to pay service charge !!! I will escalate this to the head office ! Never again in this branch !!

Very lovely GF artisan pizza. With lovely fresh toppings. I've just ordered 5 bases after eating here. Best pizza I've had since eating a normal one...

AMAZING! SIMPLY AMAZING! SUCH A GOOD VIBE! The food has been amazing, very delicious. All product were fresh and super tasty! The manager Dani has been very welcoming and helpful! The restaurant was full, and she keeps smiling. This is something that really impressed me! I really recommend this place! Go and have fun!

Back again for this amazing sourdough pizza. Restaurant was very busy and the two staff working were doing the best job they could. But the wait was worth it and i wish i lived closer to enjoy this pizza more

So I had to write this as it’s a great shame that they didn’t deliver the quality we expected from a basic pizza restaurant in our neighbourhood-. First, they were so focused on preparing the take away orders that we waited 45 minutes for one pizza to arrive while they kept up with sending take away and delivery orders. Then when our pizza did arrive it was cold, soggy, doughy and hardly any of the ingredients we had ask for. It was awful to eat and very disappointing. Also the dessert had run out. I’m only writing this as I hope that they will take note of this review and improve their service and serve good pizzas which is why we would want to go back.

The food tasted good, actually really good. However the pizzas were tiepid, almost cold when served. Service is the reason for the stars to drop. It was almost like the waiters would rather not have eye contact with us customers than come ask how we are doing. Only the owner (I assume) was "awake". The pizza and the concept are great though!

Quick solo lunch during a business trip. The staff is very nice and efficient! My lunch was served quickly. And the pizza was fantastic! Highly recommended 👌🏽

I visited this establishment a few weeks ago, on a Sunday night at 9 pm. The restaurant had 3 occupied tables, and the waiter placed us directly next to a couple who were having heated exchanges. Before sitting down, I discreetly asked whether we could sit on a different table, and the answer was a 'no'. All of the 90% of the vacant tables were reserved after 9.15pm , allegedly. My partner and I walked to the restaurant on the diagonal side of the road, sat at a window table, and noticed that no other customers entered Franco Manca after 9.15 pm that evening. The next week a group of friends invited me to their branch in Putney, and I asked everyone to change the venue, as I would never trust this chain again.

We had two different pizzas and a lamb sausage. The pizzas where underdone and had very little taste. The lamb sausage tasted like old sheep. Even worse was the service, that was confidential and slow.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Franca Manca. We arrived at 12:30 and there was only one other person there. The staff were cheery, pleasant and kind! The pizza was delicious with the perfect cheese - tomato ratio! I enjoyed a delicious scoop of chocolate ice cream in a glass! It wasn’t too loud so I personally think it’s autism friendly! There is a window where you can look outside. It was a lot busier when we walked past half an hour after we finished our meal! I will definitely visit again!

Arrived early 1215 for lunch. Choice of tables. Super smiley efficient service. Pizzas arrived very quickly. Absolutely delicious! Cooked perfectly. Very reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyable. Only downside being the loos downstairs are clean but smell damp.

Just wanted to say the amazing service from Talita she is a lovely person and the food was amazing! Thank you Franco Manca!

I came here tonight for dinner with friends. The service was unbelievably slow. We arrived first and managed to get some drinks and our friends got there slightly after us. When we asked to order we were told that staff were too busy and we...

The lady who served me either needs a proper training on bar glassware or that is just the way they serve wine at Franco Manca. Neither way is acceptable and in my book it is rather disrespectful. A glass of prossecco must be served in...

I went into Franco Manca today and ordered a take away pizza. Looking forward to eating it ofcourse. Only to realise they have sent me away with a burnt pizza and not even saying anything about it. That's one Customer lost for you. Never coming...

Great pizza base and good prices.... but tight on toppings and felt lazily put together. I visited on a very busy night so it’s possible they didn’t give the love and attention to each pizza they usually would, but either way would’ve rather pay an...

Have been here many times and never disappointed for pizza or burrata. Service is always perfect. Tonight is the first time I went there since Covid pandemics and I can say they really take all measures seriously, over and above. All staff wear masks covering...

Good combination of good quality and good price with an excellent pizza in a nice atmosphere!!! The service is very good and accommodation g to your needs. It is a place worth visiting.

While the food is great (theres no denying their pizza quality) it took me and my friend 1,5 to get though a "quick lunch" and the restaurant wasnt even full when we arrived. After we were sat down, at which point we already knew what...

Delicious vegan pizza, I keep going back there as I live just down the road. It can get pretty busy though so the waiters won’t notice you unless you make an effort to get their attention. Other than that it’s perfect, the staff is always...

We dropped into here after walking the street looking for a place to eat. The food was just wow awesome. The ingredients are all hand picked/made/chosen for their quality and freshness and it tells. The pizzas are just simply delicious. We enjoyed our meal immensely,...

The pizza was as it is always is - exceptional for the price. The service, however, was the worst I have ever experienced. Nobody welcomed us, the servers were surly and disinterested. There were only about 3-4 tables occupied and yet dirty plates were left...

Visited here with my 11 year old daughter whilst having a couple of days in London. I had goats curd salad which was the nicest salad I’ve had for a long time. My daughter had a margarita pizza which was also delicious, with a glass...

We visited here at about 4PM on a Saturday in June - the restaurant was virtually empty and I had hyped this place to a friend who is new to the city because we regularly order pizzas from here at work and they are always...

Found the two young Italian waiters to be friendly (chatty) and helpful The food is not expensive by London standards but the toppings on the pizzas were sparse and would rate the pizzas as a 3 but extra point for the service

Franco Manca are my go to pizza restaurant. I love the sourdough base. The menu is small but the pizzas are v tasty. You do have to wait but never too long. Good own label cider too.

Cheap and incredible! What more can you want?! I’ve been many times and each time I have left feeling so happy! Easily the best pizza I’ve ever had outside of Italy! True authentic Italian pizza!! I cannot recommend this place enough! The garlic pizza bread...

Was here with my kids and wife, was a mistake with one of the pizza, was changed and taken care of by the manager Rosie i think was her mabe me feel welcome and would defently be coming back

What are you all doing eating poor pizza at Franco Manca when across the road there is by far the best pizza in Notting Hill, Sicilia Mia. Franco Manca pizza's are inexpensive which is great but they show their cheapness - there are almost no...

One of the best pizza in London. Always a safe bet, quick and easy! Pizza is the closest to proper Italian pizza you can find and still at very reasonable prices

The world of pizza so I was not surprise for a good pizza but I didn't know about the super tiramisu! Amazing! Special thanks to the waiter adviced me.

Stopped in for lunch after reading about their sourdough pizza. By 1.00 pm it was full, with four-wheel drive baby buggies common and air kissing deafening. The sourdough pizza was very good and very well priced. Clearly a very hot oven, as it came within...

Went here for a pizza during crazy Notting Hill Carnival. Got a table very quickly, and it was all nice and peaceful in the middle of all the commotion. We have ordered pizzas from other Franco Manca branches too, and I really like their pizzas

Very nice pizza - one with anchovy and olives the other potato onion sundried tomato and pesto. Under £8 for esc pizza. Nice organic lemonade, wine and tiramisu for £34. Friendly attentive staff. Was pretty busy but we were still looked after quickly and with...

Went tonight waited 10 min to be seated even though I was the only person waiting with my son. Seated for 20 min while 2 couples who came in after me were served . One couple were sat next to me 10 min after I...

On a recent visit to London we were looking for a restaurant to eat at and randomly chose Franco Manca. We shared a pizza and salad and both were tasty and of good quality.

The third time (possibly the last!) I've visited this branch, very local to my work. Two not particularly efficient waiters rushed off their feet with a full restaurant to deal with. As a result we ended up with the wrong drink order which took ages...

I have been to this branch today and had a strange experience. First, the waiter was speaking with me in Italian instead of English ( I might look like Italian but I am not) and kept trying to upsell the extra tomato sauce even though...

The place is ok but very poor selection Why the English mozzarella .. ? They claim everything is organic and of good quality...not sure!!

I had dinner here last night with 4 of my children after a long and tiring day. It was quite a treat to relax on their (comfortable!) antique church pews in the clean and charming locale. The food was generally delicious and when we had...

Went for a takeaway on a sunday evening when the restaurant was pretty much full. 15 minutes or so to get the pizza and garlic bread. All very tasty and pretty good value for money. Friendly staff. Would definitely go again. Not a large menu...

Been to this branch of Franco Manca three times now in the last couple of months, and while the pizza is great and very reasonably priced, I can't rate this place higher because of how shocking the service is. Two out of the three times...

This is the second time I have visited this particular branch of the restaurant and for the second time I was shocked by the quality of service!! I have waited by the entrance for more than 10 minutes and no one noticed me... members of...

This Italian food chain already has established a positive reputation from its other branches around London, so we knew what to expect. We wanted good food, without paying higher restaurant prices (plenty of these options around Notting Hill) after a Sunday out of town. This...

The pizza I orded was allegedly the Chefs Special (The number 7 on the menu apparently Michelin recommended) with Gloucester spotted sausage,which was literally a few pieces of what looked like sausage that had been chewed before serving it and ithere was a measly amount...

Delicious pizza and great value too. Lovely clean and tidy restaurant. Friendly professional staff. Would highly recommend.

You walk past some places and something cathes your eye. "Pizza from £5!" was enough for me. It was really busy and as i couldn't get a seat inside, I took one outside. Within minutes my order was on my table - pizza with side...

Great lunch with friendly and quick service. Attentive staff even when eating outside - can recommend the burrata.

Arrived around 10.40 and got a table for two no bother. Super sourdough pizza. probably the best I have eaten apart from Italy.

Had a couple of pizza's that were of great quality, reasonably priced and received excellent service. Will return!

Staff very friendly and very obliging. Food and wine reasonably priced. Pizza was very tasty. Will return again when in the area.

Lovely little italian place the food was amazing and our waitress was very polite and professional she made the experience even better her name was Giorgia, good attitude towards customers well done.

Passed by on a Friday night when we were ready to eat and so tried this place. Very busy, as you would expect on a Friday night but service fine and pizzas very good. Good value for what is does. Not probably a place for...

We usually come to this pizza place in Westbourne Grove regularly and always left happy, but last night wasn’t the case. We ordered 3 Pizza and all of us were unhappy, 2 of the pizza margherita and broccoli were uncooked and the sausage tested rancid...

The bread style pizza may just not be to my taste and perhaps many like it, but I find it rather stodgy and too filling. I'm a New York pizza guy, thin base, crisp, massive flavor a on top. Still, it's a nice atmosphere and...

I went first-time last month to grab some hot lunch, I had pizza. It was so good with mint leave tea and good price, Staff was good too. The second time I went and order the same but this time was not good, pizza burning...

Pizza menu is limited but excellent. Pizzas are fantastic- can order pizzas without cheese to make them vegan. During busy times the service can take a while but for pizza that good and affordable it’s worth an occasional delay.

I loved the pizza at Franco Manca: one of the best in London. And the environment was relaxed and cheerful. I was shocked when I received the bill: not expensive at all. i am Italian and Franco Manca is my favorite Pizza chain since i...

The pizza is very good, the restaurant’s service is quickly and the waiters are friendly! Thanks a lot to Salvatore for his professionalism and his attentions! We had a great dinner!

My friend and I walked in, waited 10 minutes for the “hostess” to even acknowledge that we were there. When we got seated it took about 20 minutes to put in our drink order, and it was taken by the same girl, we still don’t...

We were wrong picking this place to launch today (Jan 6th). Despite of its popularity (busy), reason why after 30min we were asked for the order. Product and service are poor. Pizza arrived along the drinks. We won't risk again on this franchise.

Visiting this place on weekly basis, Very good pizza, and very friendly staff are knowledgeable about the menu with all the best topping . Will definitely recommend this place , always asking for a special pizza of the day .. :).

You cannot go wrong with a Franco Manca pizza. Simple and absolutely delicious .. and inexpensive too. Great restaurant, always busy and very popular.

Pizza was tasty, service was quick - the only let down was the waiting staff. They were not very welcoming or friendly. It felt like we were a burden to them. If you can overlook this then I would recommend for pizza.

TERRIBLE ! They did not take our order nor served us any drinks for 40 minutes, then took the order of a table next to us that arrived 20 minutes after us

This is the worst pizza I have ever had. The pizza slices in Times Square (New York) in the 60's were better & the pizza slices in Camden Market (London) in the 80s were better. But I have to say that lots of people seem...

My boyfriend recommended this place for us to go and eat, as he seemed to have been there many times previously with god knows who. However, the food was good, the company not so good. Service was great, price was great too, and great location.

We went to Franco Manca for a late meal and it was very nice....we ordered fresh pizza and it arrived very quickly after ordering.....service was good too...

Although the place is a little hipster-isch, service is good and fast. And the pizza is simply on of the best I've ever eaten in my whole life ! The place is a little bit noisy, but the food is definitely worth the trip !

Olives, £5-ish Aperol Spritz, sourdough pizza, open and light ambiance, and friendly wait staff! I LOVE THIS PLACE. Price is quite reasonable, too. I love sitting by the window - observing passers-by as I chow down on my pizza is a grand personal tradition.

We were intrigued by the sourdough pizza and were pleasantly surprised by the result. As Australian travellers we've been back several times and would recommend the restaurant to gourmet diners. This is great Italian food - desert and cappuccino were of a similar high standard.

I ordered pizza with spicy lamb sausage. When my order was taken I was asked if I wanted a tomato sauce base as this was without ?! I thought it sounded like a good idea and agreed to add it. When the pizza came I...

First visit here and what fab pizza. The choice is not massive but what their is and the add on extras are cooked perfectly. I wanted to swap one of my toppings for something else and they were more than happy to do this at...

Stunned by this place. Great pizza! Really impressed. The sourdough is awesome and really tasty. The best pizza I've had in England.

This place specialises in Pizzas, so how can they get it so badly wrong? My pizza dough was seriously undercooked and unappetising, so I sent it back. Its replacement was well cooked, but now the dough was tough and leathery. My original pizza came with...

My mom and I ate here for dinner during our time in London. The pizza was great and the prices were very reasonable. The Notting Hill location was cozy and exploring the area around the restaurant after dinner was definitely a plus! Definitely recommend.

A cozy place with great atmosphere provided by Italian staff. If you're a lover of soft dough pizza you will enjoy this one. Together with "no logo" beer it creates a unique experience! Even though the list of pizzas wasn't too long, you'll always find...

This place should not be rated at all. The pizzas and the drinks they have on the menu are Not worth your time. Service is ok and friendly.

I've heard good things about Franco Manca since they first opened in Brixton & before they became a chain. So we ordered 4 take-away pizzas & continued working. I just don't like their dough & there's a lot of it. My ideal pizza is the...

simple, not expensive and very good pizza ! servive good as well i keep the address for the next time in london

Very nice place, service is quick and friendly we often go there when we want to grab a good pizza, never desapointed!

Wonderful enormous sourdough pizzas. They are huge and ridiculously good value for money. Service was super quick and very friendly - dinner for two in Notting Hill for less than £13 - I didn't think it was possible. Highly recommend, but make sure you ask...

This restaurant is located instead of Rodizio Rico. Pizzas are usually amazing, this time it was slightly too cooked as the bottom was slightly burned. However overall thats's still a great restaurant. The Burrata Pugliese is amazing, their wine is very good. Prices are good...

Excellent pizza, thin but pleasantly "chewy" crust - creative toppings, great daily specials (1 meat, 1 vegetarian). Very fairly priced. They also had platters to share with burrata and sliced cured meats - unfortunately I was alone and couldn't manage more food. Will definitely be...

Serving only pizzas like the Best in Italy. Good price and fast and friendly service. Nice interior and good Corner location.

Absolutely delicious sourdough pizza. Great specials which change frequently. Fast service and very cheaply priced. Do not go anywhere else for pizza - this place is the best!

Quick pizza supper with family. Excellent pizzas, good wine charming service. Will go back to any of their branches. A chain of cheap restaurants that seems to have kept the founders Mojo unlike all the other small chains I have tried

If you hate people bring them here for pizza! Their tummy will hurt after since eating the pizza feels like wet bread that's been rained on left in the bin for dogs. The pizza was soggy and the service sucked. Their garlic bread, the most...

Very good pizza, eficiente and lovely service and good price!!! The best alternative in London !!! Better than the others, wood oven pizza!

Franco Manca is a successful reincarnation of the Brazilian Rodizio Rico - a great corner location on Westbourne Grove with lovely big windows and a welcoming look. Judging by the number of guests, Franco’s pizza based offering is far more relevant (and popular) with customers...

Extremely good pizza on sourdough .we where surprised how fast we got our pizzas. Visited it twice during out stay. Highly recommended 😊

Fantastic food great customer service! Came in with 5 friends we were seated quite quickly. When we asked for aperol spritz the writer said ice was finished, but he went to Sainsbury in front to buy it just for us! We had starter and pizza...

Deservedly a very successful and fast growing chain, the service here (mostly Italians but an outstandingly good waitress from Slovakia looked after us very well) is excellent. This is Neapolitan pizza, soft sourdough and cooked in a wood fired oven at very high temperatures. The...

Pizza was uncooked but burnt below. There was so little tomato and mozzarella that it was not even covering the whole surface. They re-made it 3 times but it was always the same. Restaurant Manager did not offer anything to compensate for the inconvenience. Staff...
