Franco Manca in Islington

Very impressed with my first visit to a Franco Manca. An Italian recommended them to me so I expected it to be good and it didn't disappoint. I had the beef pizza (number 9 on the menu) which was unlike any other pizza I've had elsewhere. All of my party enjoyed our pizzas and drinks and the fast service.

The head chef Roberto was amazing, friendly. He recommended the best pizzas to us and explained the process of making pizza.

Food was too dry. Burnt to charcoal in my pizza. Not enough mozzarella/cheese. Server did not wear gloves while adding toppings on the pizza!!! Anchovies were thrown one side. Service was average. Nothing too impressive. Atmosphere would have been better if the music wasn’t too loud.

Delicious pizza, with gluten free options, at this busy and popular restaurant. Easy to get seated even on a Saturday night and served by super friendly staff

Beautiful light and tasty pizza. I could have eaten another one...I would have taken pics but I ate it too quick 😯 10£ for a fresh pizza is great value.Yum! Anthony.

Great for, but due to very busy restaurant everything came out at different times. took a while to get next course/bill

Learn how to count pizzas before sending out an order, or answer your phones.

This place is definitely not for celiacs. I am only gluten intolerant. Therefore, I ordered a gluten free white pizza with mushrooms and basil. The crust was the best one I’ve found yet.

Food came quickly at least but the service was abysmal, staff seemed very much over it and quite rude

Really welcoming restaurant. The pizza is delicious made with a soft and digestible dough. Ilaria, Roberto and also Miriam were wonderful, friendly and kind people.

V good, best pizza in Islington.

The person that attended to us, Ilaria, was great, professional and attentive. Good pizza

Pizza bruciata. Poor ingredients. Napoli is very far.

Went for a pizza today..It was great as always at Franca Manca.Anna Marie,Olta and Leila treated me really well with a great service, good chat and made me feel very comfortable ..just a perfect experience!

I just love franco manca. Great pizza, nice people and every place is so cozy, as this one too

İt was amazing service. Really good pizza❤️❤️ and Roberto was so kind and professional person. We will come again,sure. Thank you for all lovely welcoming ❤️❤️

There was an olive seed in my pizza!!! Where is your food safety responsible?

10 / 10 comida! muy sabrosa y llena! El personal era muy amable y eficiente, incluso si las máquinas fallaron. Muy generoso. Asequible. El tiramisú fue genial, volveré x

Nice atmosphere and good pizza and service

I had a fabulous chicken and Goats Cheese Salad. It was one of the best I've ever had. Pretty substantial and full of flavour. My colleagues all had pizza, which did give me food envy looking at them. They all enjoyed their pizzas. I'll be back to sample them!!

I ain't much of a food connoisseur or wordy reviewer, but I came down with my mum, and we enjoyed the pizza, and dessert was a lovely experience

Cozy place, friendly staff and excellent pizza! We came one evening as a family with friends and we will definitely be back. Well done!

I visited during a quiet day on a Sunday. I was curious because it was a wood-fired pizza chain with several locations in London, and the taste was guaranteed. I ordered number 4, number 8, and a cola, and it was fine. Just give me tap water. I think there was a 10 pound sale for lunch on weekdays. Visited on Sunday afternoon. It's a franchise italian pizza restaurant in London. We give it a try because I was wondering what it's like, and it was quite great. We ordered number 4 and 8 and a coke. Tap water is free, I guess. I saw a banner advertising weekday lunch promotion, and I think it's gonna be nice try.

Great and super friendly staff!

I loved the drinks, the vodka lemonade was spectacular! Vlera was our waitress, she was honestly so kind and lovely and took care of us the whole time, we will deffo be back!

Benedetta was absolutely amazing! Our group of four walked in and we were on a very tight schedule for a show that night. She made sure we got our food in time and was super helpful. We made it to the show with time to spare and great pizza in our bellies. We will definitely be returning :)

Very good service. Our waitress vlera was lovely checked up on us. Food was amazing.

Had an amazing time, everything was delicious and upto standard. I got the pizza number 3 which was so good. My waitress was Vlera, who was so helpful and took good care of my table. Very amazing service!! Deffo recommend

Yum pizzas & super friendly & speedy service despite how busy it was. I always love a lil trip to Franca Manca & it didn’t disappoint! Also, if you’re vegan, I’ll always recommend their specials, lots of thought is always put into them

I come here regularly with my friends for a nice meal and a catch up. The food never dissappoints and the service is always impeccable. The floor staff and the Manager is always smiling, and very friendly. And hats off for the chefs for the amazing pizza. We'll be back again, as usual.

I'm a regular customer, whenever I've been there I've been hosted with a smile and friendliness, manager very professional and friendly. Shout out for this Franco Branch! I will definetly keep coming back "again"!

Ordered pizza tonight, stone cold on arrival. Don’t want to criticise the chefs - understand it’s not their fault- but very disappointed given the cost of food+ delivery

It was good and the service was also great

Great dine in experience with great food and lovely staff!!

Great service, food, and staff.

Ordered from Just Eat and it arrived unsliced despite my request (I’m staying in a guest house), stone cold and had three anchovies on.

The best place I've ever eaten pizza and a tuna salad, very delicious, the staff very friendly

Yo y mi amiga estábamos muy contentos, porque la comida era muy agradable 😋 y el ambiente era muy increíble 👏 ❤️ 👌 Tenemos suerte este lugar ❤️

Paseo en el almuerzo y muy satisfecho con la calidad de la pizza tradicional italiana. Nuestra elección de la pizza de setas fue marcada como de vuelta por la demanda. Todo lo que pudimos nunca debería haber sido eliminado. La ensalada de burretillas y tomate también fue excelente. Gran servicio y almuerzo a precio ideal

Wonderful experience, highly recommend you visit! The pizza that I had was phenomenal made by Domenico! The dough was just perfect and you can tell the chef put a lot of love and skill into it! Very friendly staff and one of the best pizzas I’ve ever tried!

Este restaurante tiene un ambiente agradable y un carisma brillante. El servicio es rápido y el vino tiene un precio razonable. Las pizzas llegaron rápido y eran un poco pesadas para nuestros gustos, pero eran extremadamente sabrosas y las pizzas más ricas y exóticas que he experimentado en mucho tiempo. El personal es muy amable, ágil y atento. Gracias por una noche maravillosa en lo que han sido unos meses malos para nosotros. Fue un cambio bienvenido, gracias.

Lovely pizzas, very quick! Very friendly service.

Place found by chance in the Angel area of ​​London. All the staff are very nice, welcoming and speak Italian. Domenico's pizza is very very good. Worth trying if you want to be heartened by Italian ingredients and taste. Definitely worth trying.

Increíbles camareros, hicieron una pizza en forma de corazón para mí y mi amigo como sorpresa. Muy amable y educado. 10 / 10 recomendaría.

Incredible service. Came on a busy Thursday night and they made us feel so welcome. Food was soooo delicious :)

Comimos afuera en el pavimento un viernes por la noche y nos entretuvimos viendo a los juerguistas de Upper Street prepararse para el fin de semana. Disfrutamos de la base de masa madre para sus pizzas. Tuve mi chorizo habitual No 6. OH probó el No 4 con setas y jamón - se describe en el menú como "pequeño tomate", pero creemos que fue peor por la falta de. El servicio es rápido y amable.

came for lunch the manager dima was very kind the food arrived very fast

Came here on Thursday evening before the comedy, and were greeted with warm service, cold drinks, and leopard printed pizzas. It was delicious, and very decently priced for a large chain. I would definitely come back to this one or another of its locations for an authentic Neopolitan pizza - thank you very much

Excellent all round! Delicious food and great service.

Pizza ok! Friendly staff and fast service

Best pizza we have had in a long time...

Food is good and service is great (hats off to Veronica). But extremely disappointed that the prices shown are without VAT which is added at the end and no mention of this in the menu. 20% VAT + 10% service charge made our bill surprisingly higher.

i adored the food! the service was incredibly love too and i felt really comfortable and satisfied. i heavily recommend eating. the price was great too!

The food was so good and the waiters were very polite and happy

No. 6 pizza was amazing and so was the tiramisu. Def recommend both. Staff were so nice too!

The waiters were really nice and the food tasted amazing!

Absolutely delicious pizza, I think it's 5 or 6 off the menu, off the top of my head. Get in there and grab one! Also there is an app deal. Buy 6 and get one free which is decent.

Excellent service, very tasty pizza and fresh lemonade

Always lovely food and great service, staff are always friendly and the prices are good for London. I always get the same meal (no6) and it’s consistently tasty!

Great Pizzas. I had a number 10: Wild mushrooms, truffle pesto base, mozzarella, smoked burrata, truffle oil & fresh basil. I love truffles so this was an easy go to, and it didn't disappoint at all!

They had great ingredients. Their dough tasted fresh and absolutely amazing, and the chef just cooked it perfectly! Friendly staff, great ambience, we had a wonderful time there. If you get a craving for pizza, this is definitely the place you go to in Angel. 👼🏻 🍕

Amazing sourdough pizza! The restaurant itself is very pleasant and welcoming with amazing service. The cocktails are very good and at such a good price, can’t complain. 10/10

I come here quite regularly and it never disappoints. A lovely atmosphere with the most loveliest staff team! The sourdough pizza and the cocktails were lovely. A reasonable price too! Definitely recommended

Really scrumptious fizzy and starters. The place appears to have been around for a while, and given the food quality and taste I fully appreciate it. Yummy.

Lovely little spot for pizza, the sourdough is gorgeous! The staff were great too and the homemade lemonade was delightful! We would definitely go back again

Fantastic pizza as always: fast and delicious, enhanced by delightful service from Leila. Until next time!

Great food and Service. Would recommend the lunch deal!

Seriously delicious, you should try if you didnt

Fairly quiet but chilled atmosphere. Pizza so good and the service was quick and friendly

The ambiance and service were exceptional, and the pizza maker demonstrated impressive skill!

Good food, good value and good service from Francesco on my visit. Will be back!

A great experience. The Irish guy who served us was awesome

Great pizza 🍕 I really feel italian taste

Pizza was fresh and food arrived quickly for a party of 5. Great value lunch deals and service was great.

Love pizza but today who ever make them it shall be stop ...rubbery old dough with chunky raw peace's, in parts ultra thin and burn .smh this pizza was DISASTRO Franco ancestors would shake in the grave asmore pizza from Napoli or napolitan look pizza from genova or Milano 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

Good food, fairly priced. We enjoy their pizza all the time. Staff in this branch are nice, but it looks like they are always in a rush.

The pizza was amazing and it was really quick even though it was busy!

The place was cold and food was chewy, service was bad.

Franco Manca pizzas are honestly the best I've ever had... and I came back from Rome last weekend! The atmosphere is lovely and service is always perfect. The cost is a real plus too! Such great value for money. Highly highly recommend!!

Yesterday, the male waiter, who happened to be black, initially overlooked some items from our order, taking 15 minutes to realize one of our starters was sold out. He then forgot the second starter and some drinks, despite the restaurant not being busy. To top it off, when he came to the table and asked for the plate on my right-hand side, he did so in a patronizing manner, responding rudely when I asked if he needed that one, saying, "Not that one, give me that," without a please or any courtesy. It was truly unbelievable.

One of the best pizza restaurant in London. Staff are very helpful. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. :)

Asked them if we could have a quick bite b4 the comedy club and they were super fast! In 20min we were ready to go, so we made it on time! Great team work! Lovely vegan pizza🍕

Quick, good vibe , man in green and blue jumper was a hero, looked after , get this boy his bottle of champagne

Brilliant service and good pizza Ideal for gatherings with friends and families. Food is quick if you would like a quick bite

Great pizza, Dennis has been very nice

What a great experience! The pizza was good and the service was exceptional. Thank you DENNIS for your kindness. Highly appreciated

Lovely food, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great pizzeria - our waiter (Denis) was excellent, all the pizzas were delicious, and we enjoyed the home-made lemonade. Perfect for dinner before heading to Sadlers Wells... Thanks!

Food was excellent. However, it took a while for the bill to arrive and we had to ask twice.

Das Essen war Ok. Die Pizza war unten schon teilweise verbrannt aber innen noch nicht durch.

I went for lunch with my girlfriend, I found a welcoming staff the pizza nothing exceptional ..... but the real problem is where are the bathrooms for the disabled?

Quality services, friendly staff

Another Lovely evening spent at Franco's. Erland is an excellent manager, attentive, kind and very helpful, definitely a peoples person. Love this place.

Erland made the night, great service and food and atmosphere.

Thanks all staff doing really great jobs thanks as well denis I well come back it’s really delicious pizza

The best Pizzeria in London. The food was very nice and quickly served by staff. The only thing that I mostly like in Franco Manca is they homemade tiramisu. Mmmmmm delicious . I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Worst delivery experience ever, stone cold pizzas, missing deserts, and took over an hour.. The first time I ordered from here I received the wrong pizzas but hoped it might be a one off mistake. Read the reviews for this place on JustEat, very poor management sadly.

Very busy during Friday night, amazing atmosphere and food.

Ordered pizza via deliveroo. It was advertising 25 mins delivery - an hour and a half later I’ve just called the restaurant and been told by an extremely rude manager that they’re busy and it will be another 30 mins. Awful service.

I love this Franco Manca really nice staff. Come here often for a decent pizza for dinner. Definitely recommend
