A long, narrow restaurant area with simple decor, edged by a high glass front & the open kitchen area at the back. It was very quiet at the time of our visit (~5pm on a Bank holiday Monday) with about 6 other people present. Small tables fill the area, with chalkboards listing specials & bottles of limoncello & other spirits decorating the walls. The staff were friendly & helpful, describing the food on offer. Only bottled beers were available as the beer tap was out of order. A list of about 12 pizzas were offered on the menu with a diverse range of tastes and flavours. We could see the pizzas being prepared & baked in the kitchen's pizza oven. They were excellent & all diners were really happy with them. There was a 12.5% service charge automatically applied, taking a £64 bill for four pizzas & two 330ml bottles of drink to £72, which I always prefer to be purely my choice. The venue is on the ground floor with no steps. Overall, the staff were polite, the food was really good if a bit pricey.

What can I say - we came for a pizza after a few pints and were in a giggly mood. Maria came to our table and caught the vibe and we had the most hilarious time. We all found her wonderful and the pizza was delish. Great Franco Manca experience!

I have been to many franco mancas but have never had service like i had here in the victoria branch. Maria wine and dined us and made us laugh silly. She held a very busy service together and never flinched once. Every bit of our experience was seemless and she went out of her way o make us feel special.

My daughter and I were in London for her 12th birthday to see Wicked and a whirlwind tour of some of the main tourist spots. A friend had recommended Franco Manca and they weren’t wrong. As soon as we walked in the door Rob (our server) was friendly and welcoming, we got a great table where we could watch the chefs create their delicious pizzas and the atmosphere was very relaxed and a nice buzz about the place. We watched Dom (the chef) making our pizzas and they were ready quickly which was perfect for us as we were heading to see the show. The pizza was SO good!!! The price was very reasonable, especially since we were in central London, £42 for 2 pizzas, drinks and a tip. Now that we know there is a Franco Manca in Edinburgh (we asked about branches in Scotland) we will definitely be paying a visit there but if you are in London head to Victoria and go to the restaurant there, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Rob & Dom for looking after us, we’ll be back! Mel & Annie x

Popped in after work - I'd never been before, and finally got around to checking it out. Maria, the host, was very friendly, and suggested what turned out to be an excellent pizza (the meat special - nice and spicy!). The waiter, a nice fella called Andrea, was very helpful, provided very good service. When I wanted my pizza sliced in my own pain-in-the-butt way, a lovely young lady called Isabel cut it for me. All in all, the staff were all super-nice, going above and beyond, and the food was dope. I will definitely return, and recommend this restaurant unreservedly!

Heard that Franco was now dog friendly so took my small dog today to get some pizza and to check it out. Big thanks to the great staff, especially Ella the manager and Erika the waitress. They were both very helpful and lovely, Ella got me a nice quiet corner and Erika was very quick and friendly. Doggy also got some treats from Erika on my way out :). Pizza was delicious, had no 10.

Recordé por qué no volví a Franco Manca en Victoria Nova después de salir del restaurante. Esta fue mi tercera visita, la primera para una ensalada, la segunda para una pizza sin gluten. Este es casi el único lugar que queda que castiga a aquellos con alergias alimentarias, así que añade un extra de £ 2. ¡35 por el privilegio de una pizza sin gluten! Entonces si quieres darle un poco de sabor a la cobertura n.o 2 cobran £ 1. 50 por una cantidad minúscula de cebolla fresca. ¡Ni siquiera un cuarto de uno! Qué lástima, ya que aunque un poco empapado en la parte inferior, en realidad es un poco mejor que otras pizzas sin gluten en otras cadenas. Los restaurantes necesitan cultivar clientes locales que comen regularmente, no castigarlos. Pero me han perdido y salgo a cenar al menos 4 veces a la semana. ¡Quizás es hora de que Franco Manca revise sus políticas y deje de esconderse detrás del ‘bien cuesta más proporcionar gluten libre’!

Had a fantastic meal at Franco Manca, and the experience was made even better by Erica, our waitress. She was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. She gave great recommendations, kept our drinks topped up, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The pizzas were, of course, delicious—fresh ingredients, perfect sourdough base—but it was Erica’s friendly and professional service that really stood out. Will definitely be returning, and hopefully, Erica will be there to serve us!

The room manager, we assume, did nothing to give as a more pleasant experience during service always acting superior. By the end told us (didn’t ask), to do the maths ourselves, and when realized that we didn’t pay for the OPTIONAL service charge, asked 3 times why not- insinuating that we were thinking of something to justify it -, turning this into a very unpleasant, uncomfortable and cringe experience.

It is a very welcoming and warm place. Food is nice but missing the bonus point that justifies a Michelin star. I am all about simplicity but creative simplicity. However, the staff was just horrible for such a place. They served the wrong dish, which is fine and can happen. However, you cannot just leave the other person's plate. I ate my dish cold because I waited for my husband's correct dish. Also, I chose a quite expensive glass of wine which was sadly served with cork residue. I immediately asked for a new glass, which was never served. Then, we asked for one sparkling and one still bottle of water. Usually, you get asked which one you prefer. It was not the case. I do not like the taste of sparkling water so just switched glasses with my husband, which the staff saw and was quite pissed about. All in all, the staff made it a frustrating experience.
