Franco Manca Belsize in Camden

We like FM, feels a bit less special these days, probably due to familiarity, but still good pizza and good lunchtime deal

It's a nice place to eat pizza.

Went for lunch, thinking that 40 minutes was more than enough to get a pizza, a beverage and leave with some room to an appointment. The good part: found about the lunch deal, and it was great. Had the lemonade and a tasty pizza, at a decent price. The lemonade arrived shortly after ordering. The not good part, after being assigned a table, it took almost 15 minutes for my order to be taken, despite the restaurant not being that crowded, and then other 15 minutes to get the pizza. I was about to leave when it arrived, and you can bet I had a fast food experience, not for the speed of service at Franco Manca, but due to having to barely chew and swallow the pizza to leave on time. This time, good food, bad service.

The pizza was top quality and our host Sandra was super lovely and accommodating. Would definitely come again!

Very attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Would like to thank Sandra for being a lovely and kind waitress to us! Thank you for our delicious lunch! Will be back soon!

I love Franco Manca but the Belsize Size venue is something special. Delicious food and an incredible staff led by Simona. You have to go there for a negroni + pizza!!

Very very good food and artisans customer service We just done cocktails making master class it was amazing 😻 Will definitely recommend this place

Average pizza 🍕 Reasonable price Ok atmosphere All in all nor a bad experience 👍

We are local and we love this place , especially outdoor seating area , hopefully will be possible stay outside in Winter as well . Pizza was delicious and Aryan was very kind nice and professional. See you soon !

The pizza was excellent, but the staff were quite surly. Wine was served in a water glass, and when we queried it the waiter said "this is a pizzeria, not a restaurant". That was rude. I've been to pizzerias in Sicily, the origin of pizza, and the wine was served in a wine glass. The lighting was also very bright. It would have been more relaxing if the lighting were dimmed more.

As usuall staff were really nice. Food is nice. Thank you everyone! If you have a Franco app, when you eat pizza you can earn magic stamp, online. And you can eat free pizza when u collect all stamps!

Best pizza place around . Staff were very helpful and friendly , despite they were very busy. Food was delicious and didn’t pay much at all . Recommend this place.

Nice place , lovely vibe and friendly people. They were very busy with some parties in the back garden but still got the best of service . We had to wait a little longer than usual for our food , but the manager was kind and offered us some olives while waiting. Was worth the waiting as the food was amazing. Will surely be back soon.

Great service, great lunch deal !

Great pizza and excellent service from Manuel. Highly recommended!

Friendly staff, very nice pizza, good student discount! I like the atmosphere 🤌🏼

Franco Manca in Belsize Park is one of my favorite spots, and I’m a regular customer for good reason! The pizza is always outstanding, but what really makes the experience special is Simona. She brings so much positivity and warmth to the place, always greeting everyone with a smile. I love coming here not just for the delicious food, but for the welcoming atmosphere she creates. Highly recommend it!

Second time popping into a Franco Manca, and as per my last visit , not only was food incredible, service was amazing. Sandra was our lovely hostess and she really went above & beyond. Very happy customer

To be honest in the last 2 night (tonight and last night) I'm ordered pizza from there. Last night and earlier in the summer I and we had very nice tasty pizza. Tonight it was alright because I'm turned in around 30-40 minutes before close and in the kitchen they put a lot of chilli oil in the pizza. For the future if somebody would like to order from here do that before 10 pm. Also for the management please sit down with the chefs and tell them it's unacceptable this attitude.

Great location, tasty pizza at a reasonable price. I like the lunch deal but would appreciate if there were more vegetarian pizza options as part of this. Friendly and efficient service.

We had lunch today and they also have a great deal , pizza and drink . Food was really nice and the service very friendly .We will definitely visit again.

Great bunch of guys serving tasty pizzas in a lovely location. Glass roof of the section at the back of the restaurant creates a wonderful ambience in the evenings.

Poor service, poor pizza ingredients! Shame!

Food quality is not as good as it used to be. Staff argued and was gossiping near our table, which we found funny, but it definitely isn't professional. The floor manager confronted the chef for the missing double topping option and spoke rudely. Since we sat not too far from the kitchen and service station, unfortunately, our table heard and saw all that went wrong during the shift. Layers of dust around the restaurant. Understandable, the door and terrace are always open, but it just needs more maintenance. Sadly, we won't be going back again.

Excellent food and great staff, always smiling and helpful.

Horrible service, The manager is not paying attention, he is walking around and doesn’t paying attention to customers. We had horrible experience here and never coming back. He didn’t even apologize about not paying attention so we decided to leave instead of ordering and spending quality time here.

Good place for a cheap vegan pizza that's okay, slight bitter after taste. Can't beat £6.95 though!

Very poor service, really low-quality food, and mean staff that leaves much to be desired. Although it wasn’t busy, we were seated almost in the passage, nearby biggest chaos and noise from the kitchen etc. The waiters seemed to have been hired the day before, lacking experience, passion, and empathy, and were very unpleasant. The bill included a tip, even though there were two options on the bill: with or without a tip. Unfortunately, the waiter charged us so quickly that we didn’t have a chance to opt for the lower amount without a tip, which was optional. There was zero communication, zero questions if the food was ok, zero interest. The bill was quite high, relatively too much for the quality of the food, which was worse than what you’d get from a food stall at any station. I visit many restaurants, both very expensive and cheap, but this one should be avoided.

Really familiar environment types or Italians. Pizza top

Shoutout to Jack, great waiter was super lovely

Friendly and helpful staff :) Excellent service :) Taste pizza and delicious lemonade :) I'm so hungry and very happy to be here and for only ten pounds - a lunch promotion to try the masterfully prepared pizza and wonderful lemonade ❤️ I recommend it!

We stopped by chance, large place, friendly staff. Good pizza. Opportunity for lunch to get pizza + drink for £10 so not bad.

We pizza-hopped at this place, and the veggie slices were like a flavor explosion! But that service charge? It's like paying extra for pizza karma.

This is our local Franco Manca restaurant, we come here often and we certainly like it. The food is good, the place is nice and the staff, Giovanni in particular, are all very welcoming.

Great service! Giovanni was an amazing server and took great care of us.

Delicious pizza and food very nice environment! I am very fussy about good quality pizza and can assure that with wood-fired oven the pizza is perfect! There is also an organic Wine from Italy of exquisite quality - Simona and her staff are very friendly Highly recommended!

Jack was a lovely server who made us laugh throughout his service, lovely dinner

We aren’t living in London that long and we were missing good pizza, Franco Manco’s is THE place, me and my fiancé had my parents over, we wandered in and were amazed. The food was fantastic and service was impeccable. Number 6 was a must. Great service from our waiter Jack, an absolute gentleman and very helpful with dietary needs. We will be back again.

Good pizza, great kids menu, and lunch deals are good value !

Good experience generally. Great food and good value. Rado provided excellent service. Will be back

Terrible service- waitress refused to seat us outside on a warm sunny evening at 9pm!!!

Great place, indoor and outdoor seats are available. Friendly staff and quick service. Number 10 pizza was yummy! 😋

Good consistent quality pizza that we all like from Franco Manca. The only reason it gets 4 out of 5 is that the size of the pizza is smaller than other locations. Otherwise, the quality is good and the service was fine. It wasn’t busy at noon / 1 pm on a Sunday.

We were there yesterday and we were served By wonderful Giovanni. The food was great. Giovanni was very polite, kind and professional. Thank you so much.

As always, friendly, great good and super value, kids friendly too!

Good food, relaxed atmosphere, good prices.

Great tasting pizza and service at an affordable price! Would go again ◡̈

Pizza was ok, but took forever. Tap beer was undrinkable … asked for another one, it was worse … bad service, and expensive for what you get …

Great pizzas, nice outside sitting area.

In my opinion it could have been more Chorizzo. But it was amazing

Nice food and great atmosphere.

Amazing welcoming from all staff especially from Chef Marco. Pizzas were DELICIOUS.... flavour INCREDIBLE. GOOD SERVICE AT ALL. THANK YOU GUYS. SURELY WE'LL BE BACK IN BELSIZE PARK.

Great Pizzeria, amazing welcoming from Chef Marco. Thank you guys for everything. I'll be back sure.

Excellent service and food! All the waiters are friendly and very efficient.

Syd was a great server. The gluten free base is second to none. Amazing. The topping selection is better than the typical chain pizza gaff. This place is good. A lot of giggly hipsters though, might be the location.

Visited this branch today and I highly recommend it.Food was delicious and the staff have been very kind and friendly . They also have a lovely terrace where you can enjoy the sun. Thank you!

If anything is more effective than getting monthly Ozempic shots when it comes to weight loss, it’s buying a property around Primrose Hill. The place is decent for the neighborhood, I guess, since everything at the restaurants and cafes around the Regent’s Park tastes like void mayo.

We were overcharged for our meal and were not treated very politely when we tried to solve the problem with the staff member. Not visiting again.

Have been visiting at lunch today.Food was amazing and the staff really helpful and friendly.They even offered us a lunch deal which was incredibly cheap , we got a lovely homemade lemonade and pizza

I can say with full confidence that it was an absolutely remarkable experience. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant until the last slice of pizza, everything was perfect. The services are impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and very well-trained. We were greeted with smiles.

I had lunch here today, and it was delicious. Pizza was so nice and staff very friendly. Thank you 😊

Dario was great and the food was delicious! My 3 yr old loved learning about the very hot pizza oven.

Been visiting this place on Monday eve and had a lovely experience .Pizza was delicious and the staff was amazing .Would definitely come back again!

My stomach killed me after it the pizza isn't cooked properly I had diarrhoea.....apologies for the word but its not OK to feel that sick the pasta doesn't settle long enough and they cook it so that's why the sore stomach

I'm visiting London from Canada and staying in my favourite part of the city - Belsize Park. It's lovely and green and out of the fray of Central London...and full of great restaurants and coffee places. The perfect place to return to at the end of a day. I'm a happy solo traveler. I've been to the Marco Franca twice in the last six days. They serve very good pizza...some of the best I've ever had. And yes - the sour dough crusts are stellar. I left after my first visit perfectly happy and with absolutely no complaints...great food, good beer, great service. I was back there for the second time last evening. Again, the pizza was great and so was the wine this time. But the service...not so much. They had a very busy patio, but I asked for a table inside because I'm sun/heat sensitive because of medications I'm on...and I'm a fan of AC. As far as I could tell I was the only customer inside the restaurant. I had to flag someone down to take my order, and then again when I was ready to leave and wanted my bill. Particularly when I was asking for/waiting for my bill I was made to feel as though I was nuisance...not the impression you want to create for your customers. Yes, you had a busy patio. And I was not on the patio. But, you can do waaay better - you did the first time I was there. Just something for you to think about going forward.

Just left Franco Manco. I never had such a horrible customer service experience before. I sat down at a table outside. The waitress camr outside more than 5 times, took orders and served all other tables except for mine. I kept waiving at her and I saw she saw me and ignored me on purpose. It was a blinde young girl. After waiting 15 mintes in the heat thirsty waiting to at elast get a drink I was infuraited when I saw that she saw me and turned her head the other way to get back to the store. I sat at Pizza Express 1 min away and was served immediately. Shame on you. I will never visit again

The cocktails are pathetically served in a small tumbler and are flat. Service is bland and apathetic. Staff don’t check in and many customers have to approach them for items that they’ve forgotten to serve. I like Franco Manca but this particular restaurant really lets the brand down.

Was just there for a drink with my wife. I'm appalled. We were greeted offhandly. Not even a question of where we would like to sit. There were 2 staff members on the floor serving ONE table... We sat down, hoping we would get some service. After 15 minutes, no one had spoken to us or even communicated what was going on. We eventually got up and left. Time and date of visit (10 May - 14:10).

Pizza crust was nice and puffy around the edges but limp and lifeless in the center.

WHY THE EXORBITANT PRICE HIKE!?!? Year after year! Please don’t say due to the increase in food prices…it’s not a “relative” price hike. Sorry but no justification for it….sadly we are boycotting same with our friends and family:/ it’s just not OK

Excellent pizza, quick service and the dips are well worth getting

Great place to celebrate your son’s 18th Birthday Party. It was 16 of us for on Sunday for lunch and everything was perfect.

First pizza was burnt, but manager kindly replaced it. Very tasty and big pizza. Awesome service.

Food was good and fast. Service and location was also great!

We had a quick lunchtime pizza. Very tasty.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Franca Manca in Belsize Park and received outstanding service from Dario. While visiting the Royal Free Hospital and attending to my wife who had just given birth, Dario's exceptional service stood out. Despite the stressful circumstances, Dario's calm and reassuring demeanor made me feel at ease. His attentiveness and warmth made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Having been to several Franca Manca locations, I can confidently say that Dario's service was the best I've experienced.

Lovely place, the staff especially Ilaria, make you fell like at home

Love Franco manca! Pizza is great but service at this branch was very slow. They do have a seating area good for dogs too.

The food was delicious, can't wait to come again. thanks Cristian you are the best pizza chef

We had a lovely lunch here today. The waiter was friendly and kind, pizza was great and the service was also very fast. We will be back for sure.

Great place, friendly staff and delicious pizza.

Really delicious sourdough pizza and great value. Lovely service . Family friendly. Sat us at a comfortable table with space for our baby’s pram.

Totally burnt and bad taste pizza as you can see on the picture. Very disappointed of getting this piece of cardboard. Normally the taste is great as I have been a long time customer for Franco Manca. I had family gathering and it’s been one of the worst experiences for them and also for me. Tasteless and not the quality and experience. Feel I have been ripped. What it was supposed to be a great family experience has turned into a nightmare.

Great place. The staff are amazing.

Dario and Ilaria were amazing. We had a booking for 20 people for a child’s birthday party and we had a great time. Dario was so friendly and attentive and patient with the kids and Ilaria also. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious! We felt at home and we will definitely be going back!

Franco Manco Belsize Park is my favourite spot for delicious pizza, great wine and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are wonderful too - courteous, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Ordered on Uber eats and pizza arrived cold. Stale dough. Not much flavour. Terrible. Never ordering from here or Uber eats again.

Lovely pizza, lovely restaurant and Bea was excellent.

Lovely pizza. Efficient service. Friendly staff. Would come again!

Restaurant has a very nice industrial feel very clean. My server was very friendly, and the service was quick! I had the garlic bread as well as margarita pizza with added spicy salami. The garlic bread was just a pizza with slices of garlic and a bit of seasoning, not very flavorful but not bad either. The pizza was okay as well. The crust was nice but a little on the plain side. Restaurant and service were great food wasn't bad but wasn't great either.

Pizza buona, locale molto carino e la manager Ilaria è stata molto gentile a spiegarci il menù in italiano

Staff accogliente e pizza buona. Lo raccomando assolutamente

Very good pizza, nice place and very welcoming staff

Great to come with kids, they have enough space to run around and food served quickly,and it was delicious. We ordered 4 pizzas for 4 and 4 children and it was enough for us and for the kids. We came there when it was extremely rainy outside and the staff were extremely nice and helpful, they served us super quickly as the kids were really tired and hungry. So all in all, really great place to visit, especially with hungry kids :)

Cute and friendly, fantastic atmosphere! Helpful and kind staff. Thank you!

Very nice place, happy to visit it again!

Super service and pizza out of this world. Wine bottle prices have gone to Mars!

Pizza is ok but I prefer salads.

Had a pizza for take away. First time trying it, so delicious. Highly recommend it. Staff were friendly as well

I ordered collection takeaway for a set time and arrived within a few minutes of that set time. The pizzas were prepaid and there waiting for me - great - so I was in and out in 15 seconds. Got home to find they were stone cold.
