I had an extremely disappointing experience at Franco Manca today. My family and I arrived with two prams and two babies and were left standing for a long time without any assistance. We didn’t sit down at any table but were just waiting around one that we hoped to get. When the waitress, Tiffany, finally approached, I kindly asked if we could have a larger table. Instead of being accommodating, she responded with attitude, saying we couldn’t sit there because we hadn’t been instructed to. When I clarified that we hadn't sat down yet, she told us, "If you don’t stop being rude, I’ll walk away." We were shocked by her unprofessionalism and decided to leave without having lunch. It was especially disappointing given the great experience we had at Franco Manca in London.

In Cardiff for the customary Christmas shopping expedition, we were looking for lunchtime food. Although busy, we were seated quickly, The staff were really friendly and Ronny looked after us very well. The food was delicious, the pizza base was very light, and the side salad complimented very well. Desert was just as good, a delicious Tiramisu and the no name beer washed it all down nicely. Will be back again before next years Christmas shopping spree

One of our party ordered a starter to be delivered as main. When the starters came out we had a conversation with a waitress regarding this and she insisted that it would come out with the mains. When the mains came out she received the wrong dish and the same waitress insisted it was correct to the point of gaslighting. After we had split the bill and paid individually, the waitress insisted we still owed £17 despite about £40 of the total bill being optionalservice charge, so she was insisting that we owed them the remainder of the tip. Unfortunately she was able to bully one of our party into paying up. Otherwise the food and value was good.

We ended up going after the rugby match last Saturday, and it was a pleasant surprise! We had to wait about 5 minutes because, like the entire city center, it was crowded, and there was a small queue to get a table. But it was quick and easy—we got in and were served promptly. The pizzas are larger than the plate, with thin crust, and the topping options are varied (including vegetarian and vegan!). I chose the most popular one (which I obviously forgot the name of), and it was exceptional. The only downside was the house beer, which I didn't enjoy due to its strong honey notes and couldn't finish (but that's personal taste, not a criticism of the establishment). The prices of the pizzas range between £10 and £20, which is fair given the size of the pizza and the clearly fresh ingredients. I recommend it!

We were told we could use student discount deal by the waiter but after we finished and brought the bill we were told we couldn’t use the deal. So we were given 10% off, yet then we were charged a 10% service so we had 31p off in total. Not worth the price.

This is a superb pizza restuarant! I entered to ask for directions to the pasty shop, which it replaced here, a few weeks ago and, as I entered, I was hit with this wonderful odour of baking pizza base. Yesterday we visited for a meal and we were not disappointed. It was probably the second-best pizza that we have ever tasted - the best was in a rather expensive place in Lugano. The waiters were very helpful and the wine list exceptional, with a few varietals that I had never even heard of. We shall be back!

Thought we would try Franco Manca Cardiff out as my son loves pizza. Arrived and the team thankfully were able to accommodate us arriving on spec. Menu looked great, specials looked inviting and we ordered. Aperitivos arrived and drinks, a good start. It went downhill from there. We waited and waited for our main course pizza, watched table after table being served who had ordered their food after ours, we attempted to get the attention of the restaurant staff but were ignored, the tables around us had spectacular service but our little corner ignored. We eventually managed to grab the attention of a lovely lady who managed to move our food on and explained that the manager hadn’t pulled our order through, this was after approx 45 minutes of waiting when other customers orders were taking 10 minutes. We ordered additional drinks and didn’t arrive, we asked for table water and didn’t arrive. I would say that the rest of the restaurant had great service and I am writing about our service which was very poor. The food arrived and because the delivery team saw the mix up clearly sped up the order, but then didn’t cook the pizzas long enough and were luke warm. But we had waited so long and were so hungry we could not do anything but eat them. The lovely lady arrived with the bill with optional service charge but changed for it anyway. I questioned this practice but actually had given up on the whole experience as it was nothing short of fawlty towers. On leaving the manager had the opportunity to apologise but just stared at us as though the whole experience was down to us rather than taking responsibility which is what management should do. Based upon our one and only experience I’m not sure we would visit again and certainly wouldn’t recommend.

The best pizza in Cardiff. We literally order it every week 🙈 the base is amazing, and huge fan of the pesto dip. They do a good deal during the week, good value for money. Was my biggest craving while I was pregnant and still obsessed now I’ve had my baby so it’s a good thing it’s not too expensive haha. You heat it up in the oven for a couple minutes when you get it delivered, and it tastes so fresh - which is so hard to achieve with lots of takeaways! Don’t bother with dominoes, this place is the best!
