Tuvimos la camarera más amable que nos hizo todos súper cómodos - cuando me iba ella me felicitó y pensé que tenía que dejar una reseña. ¡Es realmente encantador cuando conoces servidores que son personas súper agradables! Su servicio fue absolutamente increíble durante toda la comida, a pesar de que pedimos una mesa tarde en la noche, que sé que es difícil de acomodar. Cualquier camarera que sirvió una mesa de 6 (con dos pizzas veganas) alrededor de las 10 : 00 pm el viernes 12 de julio fue la camarera más encantadora y debe ser elogiada por su amabilidad!

Me and two kids. The children's pizzas were paper thin and burnt. The service was terrible and when I asked to have a small pizza (children's menu) because I didn't want to eat a large pizza, I was told no with a judgmental look. I am Italian and honestly my pizza was absolutely nothing special.

Hemos estado viniendo a este restaurante desde hace un tiempo, pero por desgracia el servicio ha empeorado progresivamente. El personal no hace contacto visual, así que nos quedamos esperando para obtener una mesa, hacer un pedido o incluso obtener nuestra factura, pero la sensación de tener derecho a agregar un cargo por servicio! ¡Qué decepcionante! ¡No volverás!

Thursday late afternoon we decided to grab some pizzas from this branch I never been big fan of their pizza but was the “only” choice Anyhow we took a table and literally we were ignored after that We saw another table leaving for the same reason… there was no one taking our order So we ended up leaving too, funny enough that the whole place was empty (3tables were occupied) Also, the pizza dough is chewy with a weird aftertaste … I think franco manca goes back to the “no no” list

Food is generally okay. However, the service at Balham is terrible. With an almost empty pizzeria (only 3 tables, 2 already served ), we were waiting about ten min to place an order. They preferred to chat between themselves. After half an hour of waiting, we said thank you and walked out. This wasn't the first time like this here. They prioritize takeaways and don't care if you are waiting or give a smile to check, how things going on. We have been in many Franco's and this one is unfortunately the worst. We already gave up going there a while ago for the same reason. One more thing from the previous visit. If you want to pay by cash. They do not even get change, but leave you in an awkward situation. Sadly nothing changed. We were regular visitors. Long travel to Dulwich branch alternatively.

Awful service in an half empty restaurant on a Sunday night. Bad management. People arriving as a group of 2 or 3 were squashed in a corner, no space for the waitress to approach, I had to change seat to avoid feeling I was eating my pizza at 8am on the Northern line heading to central London. Instead of looking after people currently eating they were concentrating on leaving large and medium tables empty to attract bigger groups.

Please note inaccuracies on the website… Kids eat free is NOT available. We were charged for our child’s meal even when we said we had gone there specially for the kids eat free as advertised on the website. Saturday opening time 12.00 noon is NOT correct, we were told 1pm opening time. We were allowed in at 12 but the door was locked behind us! Manager was rude when these inaccuracies pointed out. Restaurant seems badly run and the manager poorly and scruffily presented. We filled in the online form to complain but this has been ignored. Finally, we were both extremely ill with vomiting after visiting this restaurant which has put us off ever visiting Franco Manca again. This is a shame as we have been frequent and happy customers of various other Franco Manca restaurants for many years

Quick service, tasty vegan options (I had #614 - delish). The special is very reasonably priced, although you can also make up your own. All the ingredients are good quality. Sat comfortably having a meal for one and felt attended to without being intruded upon.

This is an exquisite Italian-focused pizzeria located in Balham, where my family and I had the pleasure of indulging in an exceptional gastronomic experience. The service provided was truly remarkable, accompanied by delightful music. The supervisors, Maria and Gio ensured that we were attentively cared, everything was truly outstanding. This establishment is truly unparalleled, as we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and the music that added to our overall experience.

Loud rave music playing on a Sunday night. They clearly care more about their takeaway orders than their covers as our orders took ages and then they were wrong. So disappointing as the food is good but it's not worth it for the awful service.
