Franco Manca in Islington

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!

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 :)

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

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!

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

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

I and my friend were very happy, because food was very nice 😋 and atmosphere was very amazing 👏 ❤️ 👌 We are lucky this place ❤️

Walk in lunch and very pleased with the quality of the traditional Italian pizza. Our choice of the mushroom pizza was marked as back by demand. All we can it should never have been removed. The burretta and tomato salad were also excellent. Great service and ideally priced lunch

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!

This restaurant has a friendly vibe and bright charisma about it. Service is rapid and the wine is reasonably priced. The pizzas arrived quickly and were a little heavy for our tastes, but were extremely flavoursome and the most rich and exotic pizzas that I’ve experienced in a long time. The staff are very friendly, agile and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful night out in what has been a bad few months for us. It was a welcome change, thank you.

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.

Amazing waiters, they made a heart shaped pizza for me and my friend as a surprise. Very kind and polite. 10/10 would recommend.

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

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

We ate outside on the pavement on a Friday evening and were entertained watching Upper Street revellers gear up for the weekend.. We enjoy the sourdough base to their pizzas. I had my usual chorizo No 6. OH tried the No4 with mushroom and ham - it is described on the menu as ‘little tomato’ but we think it was the worse for the lack of. Service is quick and friendly.

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.

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!

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!

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. 👼🏻 🍕

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

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

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!

Great pizza 🍕 I really feel italian taste

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Very busy during Friday night, amazing atmosphere and food.

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

We stopped by Franco Manca for dinner after being at a crammed pub, and we didn't really think it would be possible to still order food. It was! I had the meat special with ham, spicy pepper, mozzarella and of course - tomato sauce. The flavors were great, we didn't have to wait too long and the staff was super friendly. All in all - a great meal to cap off a great evening!

I love everything about this brunch. I come regularly and love the GLUTEN FREE pizza. The stuff are kind, professional and well informed and the manager super attentive and approachable. Amazing food in a cosy setting. Just pop by already 🤌😉

food was amazing, the staff was super nice and considerate and the establishment overall seems very accessible and disability friendly! definitely would recommend.

Beautiful food, atmosphere and the people were lovely. I love Italian food to so I'm usually picky but this place was great.

The sourdough pizza here is fantastic, great selection of toppings. The atmosphere is really nice too, and very well priced!

Our server Dennis was amazing, he was friendly and polite. We had the pizza number 7 and 10, we highly recommend they were delicious! Very fairly priced, highly recommend Franco Manca for delicious food and drinks ☺️

I just had dinner here with my partner and the service was amazing! All of the staff were lovely but ESPECIALLY our main server leila She was lovely and needs a raise!!!!

Great service, super friendly and pleasant. Pizza is good but will always prefer a light fluffy dough. Cheese, tomato sauce and some topping.

Great place for a dinner out… staff is really good and I believe that Leila was amazing. Would be back for sure

I went there with my family. The food was so delicious and served hot. Staff were so friendly. Dina our waiter were so friendly with us and so polite. I recommend this restaurant for everybody.

We ate here with my family. The staff was so friendly specially Dina. She was so lovely, always smiling. The food was so delicious and the atmosphere were so nice. Strongly recommended.

Great staff highly recommended.

Loved the food and the surroundings would recommend*****

Nice warm and friendly restaurant with great food and good service!

Really nice place; would go there quite often. Love the pizza and the vibes

Some nice thin crust pizza! Also their mozzarella salad was great too! Sausage was the only halal meat option they had…

Great pizzas and friendly staff

Very slow for the pick up for drivers/couriers avoid!

Too much garlich in the pizza. Staff with no experience.

Top notch food and very friendly service, always a pleasure to dine here.

This place is great for good food and amazing prices and quality. Service was great, and friendly staff definitely made my experience that much better. The food is 10/10 and the pizza is fresh and delicious.

The place is good but this time we were say next to the pizza oven and it was very hot day so This was not Ideal. Also I chose the wrong pizza. Is sounded nice but the cheese sauce on it really just spoiled the taste for me I should have asked for it to be on the side.
