Franco Manca in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Franco Manca in Canary Wharf is a stellar pizza place, with very friendly athmosphere paired with a curated selection of freash, delicious, genuinely Italian food. We thank Simone for his excellent service and all the staff for the energy and the enthusiasm they put in their work.

It’s always a pleasure to eat a true Italian pizza at Franco Manca, Canary Wharf branch. The food is great, and the staff always super friendly and attentive to the customers’ needs. This time a lovely guy called Simone from Turin served us and we were impressed more than usual with his impeccable service! We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to both tourists, residents of Canary Wharf and other Londoners.

this spot has a very warm interior and comforting food i had the burrata pizza which exceeded expectations and the tiramisu was a great way to end the night

Appalling service for average food. Took 40 min to get 1 pizza when the place was half empty. Never to be visited again!

Tried this branch a couple of months ago but the service was terrible, came back today to give it another chance, the place was basically empty on a Saturday at lunch time, we sat down and waited for more than 5 minutes while the waiters chatted amongst themselves.. than got up and left. I was speechless, no wonder the place was empty, the staff could not be bothered to do their job. Really sad as this was my favourite branch, and my local. Tried to find an email address to give a feedback on the Franco Manca website but could not find a way..

Once we arrived at the door we were greeted politely towards our table, Once seated we had someone take our orders within minutes and the food arrived soon after. Both pizzas were exception and packed full of toppings and flavour, same with the cocktail and dry cider my partner ordered. Overall I must say this experience was lovely and welcoming and I heavily recommend it to anyone reading.

Fantastic service by Daniel the rest the staff were so friendly amazing food will definitely return

Great pizza, wonderful deserts and good value for money! The staff are friendly and kind! Highly recommend.

Friendly staff and lovely experience! Food and drink are so nice! You need to come and see for yourself!!

Great food, highly recommend number 3 on the pizza menu! Friendly staff. We dined here twice during our stay in Canary Wharf and would definitely come back again.

Great service, good deals and good food! Lovely lunch spot! We got two pizzas each - very affordable.

Great service, new improved pizzas. The nr 9 wild mushrooms burrata and truffle pesto is unbelievably good! Add spicy oil to enjoy the full experience

I love franco manco the pizza is great and it was here as well chiefs prepared it well but they seemed the only ones interested in working the wait staff were miserable unfriendly more interested in chatting or looking at their phones manager (think he was ) just looked like he’d rather be anywhere else than there such a shame maybe some staff training might help.

Nice food, get the special - it’s a really nice atmosphere and the service is good/ attentive. I’d come again

Pizza cool. Topping almost non existing. Others who arrived and placed order after us were served before us. Base supposedly special sourdough could not be cut by serrated knives supplied by restaurant. Cheap but worthless

The best pizza I’ve ever had! Seriously, the crust on the planet! Please stop here. You won’t regret it. Staff us great!!

This pizza joint is good if you're not fussy. Decent variety of pizzas to suit everyone's needs. The service is...alright took a while or order and pay the bill, place wasn't overly busy. Pizzas don't leave you bloated or feeling overly full which is a...

The food was delicious. The service was exceptional and the waiting time was acceptable. Love the extra touch of flexibility regarding food from the menu. I’d heartily recommend that all pizza lovers ensure that they pay Franco Manca a visit.

One of the best pizza in town. The menu is simple, but you can find anything you like - pizzas, salads, great appetizers. I do have to admit that I always go for pizza - it is just amazing. And if you have a sweet...

The food was amazing and really lovely we had a nice afternoon breakfast there and the staff were very polite and made us feel welcomed. I definitely recommend.

Was served by Carmen who was amazing. Service was great and food was awesome.Will definitely be visiting again.

Great service and great pizza. The price is comfortable for everyone, about 6-10£ for each pizza. Thanks for a lovely dinner

Great for a reasonably priced lunch. First rate pizza and friendly team, with the best sourdough bar.

Ordered a number 6 to share with my partner. The pepperoni was burnt to a crisp. I told my partner I was not going to eat it and to please send it back. He is shy so he didn’t want to. The waiter/manager stood listening...

Good service in a nice modern restaurant. Great starter (mixed cured meat platter was excellent) and pizzas. Very good value

Considering how CW gets busy for dinner, my family and I were pleased to be seated straigth away. The kid menu is really good value for money, including pizza, drink and ice cream! Pizza with pork fennel sausage and wild broccoli was amazing and really...

Great service, friendly staff. The gluten free pizza was delicious, although it is cooked in the same oven as normal pizzas, but I only have a wheat intolerance so this has no effect on me. Staff informed me straight away about the oven situation, therefore...

Always delicious pizza at Franco Manca and today was no exception. Staff also very friendly and service is great. Number 3 pizza was really good; Mozzarella, Halloumi, Grilled Courgettes 😋😋

Lovely place, lovely staff and lovely food! We had a gluten free pizza and it was the best gluten free base we have ever had so would definitely recommend. The service was very good, we didn’t have to wait long at all and overall experience...

We stopped in here for a late lunch and were seated quickly. I had the Number 2 pizza with extra beef, very good quality food. Nice simple numbered options with choices of extra toppings. Easy access from the Elizabeth Line, Jubilee Line and DLR

Firstly I would like to say that we were rather looking forward to trying Franco Manca having heard only good things about the chain. However these praises cannot be applied to this particular restaurant. I have no issue with the service we received, all the...

Pizzas arrived fairly cold. Wine was served in same style of glass as water. Not a wine glass. Also same glass used to serve sorbet. Number one pizza had half a jar of dried oregano poured onto it. Way too much. Also large chunks of...

I went to dine in Franco Manco last week on Saturday, it was very busy but the staff, Jessica specifically, was very quick to found a table for 2. Pizza was nice, as well as the service, it was quick and efficient. Jessica brought everything...

Me and my partner decided last minute to dine in FM Canary Wharf on Friday night. The place was crowded as apparently they were short staffed. Jessica was amazing, she founded a table for us in a very short time. She managed the situation in...

Family lunch completely ruined. Inadmissible outrageous staff behaviour towards clients- I never felt more embarrassed. The waiter suddenly snapped and got aggressive raising her voice hysterically -for a futile reason and in front of our 2 years old who was terrified. On Sat December 3rd...

No wineglass... Ok pizza total over spiced with chili and I'm a big fan of chili and Thai food but knocked my socks off so no clue about the pizza taste.. staff young and fresh but no focus on customer .. ask 2 times for...

Canary Wharf branch: no atmosphere. Staff preoccupied on other stuff, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy on a business day at 15:00. My ((privilege) pizza was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. It was wet throughout. After thought possibly the spinach wasn’t drained; not sure....

Ate here on a Monday night and although the restaurant was fairly quiet, it was obvious that the staff couldn't cope with the sheer number of takeout / ubereats orders they were trying to fulfil at the same time as trying to cater for table...

Bruschetta was nice enough although it came with spinach rather than basil which I assumed was a mistake. Asked for basil and all of a sudden it was much nicer!! Ordered 3 pizza's for the three of us but didn't have some of the ingredients...

Good gluten free pizza is hard to find so I was over the moon to find it here. The pizza bases taste like proper Italian pizza that I could eat before my intolerance. I had the chef's creation (number 3 on the menu) and it...

It was just the two of us, we ordered two number two pizzas (one with buffalo mozzarella one normal) and two lemonades (they were seemingly out of half the soft drinks which it would have been nice to tell us before taking our order but...

My colleague and myself went for a dinner on Thursday night.That was the worst experience we ever had!! Myself I have ordered a pizza with cheese,mushrooms and ham.Unfortunatelly there was only few pieces of mushrooms and 2 small pieces of ham (I mentioned to my...

It was fast service - we started with tea and a delicious chocolate hazelnut torte followed by a plain pizza. Fresh food and great quick bite.

This place does exactly what it says on the tin! The prices are extremely good. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and are a credit to the establishment. A gem

We have been always informed by staff that the restaurant allows dogs. Once we were seated with the dog, by staff, and had placed our order, we were informed by the manager that dogs are not allowed, and we had to leave.

We enjoyed the meal. The portions are good. The service was attentive. Worth the visit considering the multitude of options.

The pizza was slightly under-cooked and raw and my friend's pizza arrived 15 minutes before mine as the friendly server said he forgot to put the order through. The pizza wasn't great, small pieces of toppings that you could hardly taste and under-cooked. No discount...

The staff taking orders is wearing masks, however ALL the chefs serving pizza in the kitchen are NOT wearing facemask properly and are chatting with each other (and probably spitting on your pizza too) They all wear their facemask under their chin which is useless...

If you are looking for a proper Italian pizza , don’t waste your money and time . Ordered from Uber eats , pizza was almost raw and garlic bread worst than the pizza . Choose the Margherita with Buffalo mozzarella and extra basil , completely...

Terrible quality food. It took ages to arrive, and when it did it was stone cold. Had to cook it after it was delivered which killed the taste. You can see the care and attention from the photo of my pizza! . Don’t waste your...

I visited the restaurant this week with two small children and I am usually a fab of Franca Manca, I've visited several other branches before. We were seated at a table and the waitress brought over a kids menu for both of the children and...

Lovely meal best pizza this side of Italy, large (enough to share or take away), great choice of toppings & quality product. Service was friendly and Covid safe. Thank you.

As someone who has been very jittery about going to a restaurant post-lockdown, I felt very safe at Franco Manca in Canary Wharf! ALL staff were wearing masks the WHOLE time (even though they don’t have to) and gloves too (though I’m not sure how...

Me and my friends walked in Valentino was there giving us a very nice and warm welcome, seat on the table give us a lots of option for food, he also mention about some of the alergies due atm, and my mistake was I didn't...

Poor service. I have been in another branch and been happy. It was a Sunday evening, there were only 4 other tables and 3 staff. Felt that I was ignored most the time, Tap water was lukewarm. Asked for a short wait before a dessert,...

There’s been a glut of “premium” pizza chains of late. Most of them charge you a premium for the humble pizza while dishing out hit and miss fare. One exception to that is Franco Manca. I’ve had pizzas from their Stratford outlet and have loved...

We came here to have a pizza with all my family, we have been really happy in the way how they served us especially Gaetano that made the service the best one.! Definitely I will come again to have another dinner with friends and family

We were served by Antonella who has a super waitress: extremely patient, explained things well and exceptionally friendly. The Christmas menu was a good deal too!

This is the first time we’ve stayed in Canary Wharf rather than the bustle of Central London at Christmas. We found this on our first day and so glad we did 😀. My wife uses a wheelchair and on occasions it can be a pain...

Our first visit to a Franco Manca restaurant - certainly not our last. The pizzas were excellent and the house white not bad either. The menu is very simple and choices limited but seemed to cover all that we needed. 3 large pizzas and three...

Food was good. Portions big. Food tasty. Waitress was lovely. What really upset us was when pizza came out my wife asked runner if she could have her pizza cut into slices or have a pizza wheel. The runner aggressively said next time tell that...

We've visited a few Franco Manca restaurants but this one at Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf E14 stands out way above the rest. The staff are always cheerful, polite and happy to serve you. Their attention to detail superb. The pizza's are in a league of...

Came here with a friend to have lunch and we had a great experience, even though it's during the weekend the place wasn't too busy and we were given the choice of whether we wanted to sit in or outside. Service was great and quick...

Food,as usual, was good, but staff, as usual, were miserable as sin. Head Office - please please send a mystery diner in to experience the sheer apathy of the waiting staff. One staff member in particular was scary with the dirty looks she kept throwing...

Staying at the nearby Marriott we were persuaded to give this Franco Manca a try because it was busy and lively. The tables are pretty close together but that was not a problem for my wife and I and we traded stories with the couple...

This is the second time I have visited this place and for the second time greeted by an unsmiling member of staff that made us feel like an imposition. Zero attention from the waiting staff, we had to call her over each and every time...

This is a busy place at lunch and having eaten there I understand why - it’s fabulous. Hard some garlic bread with mozzarella to share along with some lamb sausage and potatoes. Both were lovely. It’s predominantly a pizza place on sourdough bases and they...

I’m usually a fan of Franco Manca, but this latest visit made sure i never return to this branch again. Once we were sat, we had to wait 15mins for our order to be taken. After the starters, we waited 30mins when we were asked...

The pizzas are absolutely amazing and at a great price. Brings you back to italy!! One of the best places to eat in London. Food tends to be really quick once you order (~5min). Only issue is the staff are sometimes a bit rude and...

We had pizza and salad for lunch. Salad was weird--only a few leaves of lettuce with lots of meat piled on top, underdressed. Pizza was terrible. Dough was very underbaked, so it was stretchy and raw-tasting. The mozarella wasn't even melted, but sat in little...

Having just been to NYC where u get the best pizzas in the world we were quite excited to eat at Franco Manca Canary Wharf branch. The restaurant was clean and warm, spacious and the waiters were nice. Ordered a basic pizza with olives and...

We live nearby and have been to this branch a lot since it opened. Unfortunately the last few times it has gotten noticeably and significantly worse. Today might be the final time we go there given the excellent alternatives nearby, including other Italian an pizza...

Good job our family who live near by booked a table for the 10 of us it was very busy.It was all very basic but I get where the u.s.p of the set up is .The pizzas we ordered were very tasty and were all...

Good pizza at a very reasonable price, good quality ingredients, well made dough - puts pizza express and the like to shame. Good location, nice interior, pleasant staff. I would recommend the anchovy, olive and caper pizza. We were visiting friends and ate here twice...

The pizza was great. So worth it, super fresh pizza and excellent service. Thanks, highly recommend and we will be back!

Simple, delicious, quick, inexpensive pizza. Does what it says on the tin. I can’t recall last time I walked out of a restaurant, ate two courses and spent less than 25 pounds... Well worth it.

The service in the restaurant was friendly and prompt and the food was good value especially for the location and the food quality was decent too. The visit was in February 2018 it just wont let me select that far back.

Nice pizza and nice coffee, friendly staff. The size of kids pizza is fairly large! They also validate parking ticket which is nice.

So we came here as Franco Manca seemed to have good reviews (the covent garden branch seemed good) and as we wanted to see the lights in Canary Wharf we came here. I was a bit taken back with the rudeness of some (not all)...

Pizza is ok but the service is slow and in some case extremely rude, like the arrogant waiter insisting too much to have the tip (and didn't get any eventually).

We walked into the restaurant today for lunch and asked nicely for a table. There was no friendly greeting nor a smile from the waitress.The restaurant was almost empty and she said we can only sit at the table but it was by the entrance....

On a positive note the beer is good the food is terrible, we had Forcaccia bread and it was burnt and tasted terrible, and they tried to pass Mozzarella off as Burrata, not what we expected. We then ordered a pizza which was burnt and...

Normally I am a fan of this chain but the service I received in Canary Wharf left me disappointed. The staff seemed too busy and not helpful at all, in fact a little rude. My pizza was burnt.However, normally I really enjoy the food and...

Its Pizza right? But these guys seems to make something ordinary seem very fresh and on the money. Some of the pizza sound a tad artsy fartsy but the results is good food served very quickly and on point. Have been a few times now...

Was pleased to notice changes have significantly improved since last visit specially in terms of Costumer Service, which was attentive, pleasant and professional ... also shouldn’t forget to mention the professionalism of a employee (can’t remember the name ... just know he does ware glasses...

Had ordered take away pizza from Franco Manca a few times as I work nearby, and always liked it, so last night we decided to actually go there for dinner after work, what a disaster! Service needs serious improvement. So my friend and I go...

Popped into this eatery around 3:30 on a Saturday Afternoon just around the corner from Premier Inn Hub, Kings X. I had a ham and wild mushroom, ricotta and mozzarella pizza which was tasty and reasonably priced for a fairly central London location at £8...

I came to eat solo when in CW on business and whilst I enjoyed the pizza, it was overpriced and there wasn’t a huge amount of topping. The n’duja sausage was sparse. The centre of the pizza was too soggy. I will return, though as...

The service was excellent. Filippo the manager at this restaurant was very welcoming and the pizzas are quality from presentation to taste! I'll definitely be going there again.

I noticed straight away the new menu and the main changes are definitively the prices. Shame because the prices were one of the selling points for me. The pizza was good, as usual, although not much filling. The big negative point is the service: -...

Went for an easy meal with my partner on Saturday evening expecting some quality food, nice wine, and a good vibe! Firstly, the bloody noise from the staff emptying the bottle bins was super annoying - you hear the clatter reverberating through the restaurant. Next,...

I was unsure of having a meal here since I am not a fan of sardough bread. However this was great pizza. The toppings were fresh and the artichoke dip, cheese, everything was good.

The pizzas were not special out here and you get much better pizza in other places. They give you chilli paste instead of chilli flakes and charge you for it which is a rip off. Ask for chilli flakes instead of flakes. The service was...

I'm so mad I had to write a review. I cannot understand how this place has managed to stay open (albeit it hasn't been open very long) in Canary Wharf - when there is a great Pizza Pilgrim nearby! The pizza I was given was...

I have been three times and each time it was the worst service. Every time I went back thinking next this time will be better but it wasn't. Service is extremely slow and staff are rude. Every time I have taken my son, they always...

If you are going to offer a small focused menu, what you lack in choice you need to make up for in quality. Sadly you didn’t. The base was burnt in patches and soggy in others. The home cured ham was positively tragic (see photo)...

There are 2 main areas you can sit in this restaurant - at the front near the main entrance or past the cooking/service area to the rear seating area. When we arrived the front area was half full. We selected a table for 2. The...

I had to been to this place before about 8 months ago and decided to take my daughter for a very nice pizza. She loved it. The service was excellent. The starts and pizza's absolutely delicious. The service quick, attentive and friendly. Loads of tables....

A group of 5 of us went to Franco Manca on a Tuesday night. We were sat at our table and then promptly waited 20 for someone to come to our table to order drinks - by which time we were ready to order food...
