Franco Manca Exeter in Exeter

Had a great meal here. Great staff and really nice feel to the place. Food was excellent and quick to arrive. Staff very helpful

Absolutely perfect, couldn’t have asked for better service. I was served by Tom, who went above and beyond to make sure that our meal was spot on. Lovely atmosphere, amazing staff, will definitely be coming back

Great pizza, lovely staff, good vibe

A group of friends and I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago to use the pizza for £5 deal. We ordered our pizzas, I ordered a gluten free margherita, the food came quickly and was hot. My pizza was very nice, although the sauce became quite watery especially in the centre, which was only an issue with the gluten free pizza. The all the food tasted lovely. We had a slight issue with getting the £5 deal to work, which was quite a hassle in the end. Nevertheless, we were able to make it work, although the gluten free pizza was a few pounds more (when they mean every pizza £5, they don’t mean the gluten free ones, you still have to pay an extra charge for gluten free!). It was still a nice meal with good food, and I would come back.

Popped in today for lunch, we didn't book and think we were lucky to get a table for 2, the chap that seated was super friendly and the young lady that served us was absolutely delightful, great service, the pizza I think was the best we've ever had, coffee ☕ was great and really good value, really impressed, brilliant all round, would highly recommend and will be back, thank you all.

Ordered pizza on deliveroo, came completely cold and had to throw it away and waste my money.

My wife and me had lunch there on Monday. A couple of hours later, my wife developed hives and at night i had high fever which i am still battling with. I ended up with an upset stomach and it hasn't got any better after two days. Their hygiene standards must be worse than street vendors in underdeveloped countries to. One thing's for sure. We won't be going back there. Btw we had pizza no4 and no10 from the menu. PS1. My wife told me that on her way to the wc (it is upstairs) she noticed a package of bacon outside the fridge and she said that with that warm temperature up there good luck to whoever orders bacon on their pizza. PS2. Symptoms at their peak today with diarrhoea having a party.

Excellent service from Jo!!! :))

Food was so good, best part of the school trip.

food was banging, staff very polite and even gave us a FREE dessert pizza, made my day!

Pizza is great. Servers and management - not so much! Very rude. Tables are far too close together for any sort of intimate dining experience.

great £5 pizza and will defo be back, fave pizza in Exeter for sure. Ti and Jo were fab!

We came for the £5 a pizza deal that runs across january and we will definitely be coming back more! The resturant had such a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so attentive and helpful. We requested to sit by the window and our wish was automatically granted. The food was so yummy and worth the trip down to the resturant. Pizzas were hot and fresh and the chilli oil was the perfect pairing to go along with the meal. Bathroom is clean and nicely decorated. Lots of options for pizzas, dips and starters if that floats your boat. Could not recommend more we will be back!

Excellent staff, pizza was delicious and came quickly x

Great pizza, tasty and good service with good recommendations.

I came as a single to have dinner and was turned away. The reason - they were running a special. Laughable. I counted 8 open tables, several of them two-seaters. You lost an entire household of four’s worth of business for a lifetime…because you couldn’t be bothered to seat a single…simply because you were running a special.

Great food, lovely staff, and we took advantage of a seamless offer on the mobile app for some cheap pizzas. We were paying separately as a group and our server, Cara, made the awkward payment absolutely effortless. Definitely recommend, and I'll be coming back.

Great customer service from every member of staff we encountered. Delicious pizza and tuna salad too and a very yummy Tiramisu! 😍😋😯

Ate as a group of 5 - was sooooooo yum! Our waiter Jo was fabby dabby dooo! Truffle pizza for days: water always refilled: life is good. Thank you Jo for making my night, we will defo be back xxx

Absolutely incredible staff and lovely tasting pizzas. I had the truffle pizza and it tasted out of this world! Our waiter, Jo, was a specific highlight of the experience, consistently checking in to see how we were whilst always refilling our water jugs if we finished them. He was a lovely and confident waiter, who made us all smile whenever he came to our table. Very happy with the food and service overall. Will defo be coming back!

Amazing food and service, good job Jo. Thanks for squeezing us in we had a lovely time

We tried pizza 9 and 10. Both were really good. We were very pleased with the service. It was a busy evening but Jo took the time to make sure we enjoy our dinner to the fullest.

Best pizza in town….. yes people.

Came here for a family birthday, food was delicious, our waitress Ti was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice!

Had a really good meal, great service and atmosphere. Brilliant service from Ti

Lovely pizza and service from Ti !!

Great pizza & great service from Ti!

Joe was great worked very well under pressure with a busy restaurant !

First time at the place last night (Sunday 19 Jan) for my partner and myself. It was great. Joe was great. His customer care was awesome, and he was really friendly throughout. The food was fantastic, we will be back. Cheers.

Delicious pizza and good service from Jo and Ti

Fantastic pizza and great service from Jo. Nice atmosphere particularly for a Monday evening!

Nice food and great service from Jo, lovely meal

Great pizza, great value, great service from Jo 👍

Brilliant service and great value. It was a privilege to have Jo as our server !

Jo was amazing! We had the best time.

Went for the £5 deal- pizza was amazing highly recommend the number 6!😁 Quick service too

Pizza is always good, went with friends for a late lunch so not too busy. Special shoutout to our waiter Jo who was super helpful with allergies and sorting our bill :)

For my birthday myself and five friends came here for lunch. It was really great! I ordered the garlic bread which was very flavoursome and garlicky - just how I like it. I also had a Franco’s special pizza which was absolutely cracking. Lots of meat and full of flavour. The sourdough bread was nice and crispy and well cooked so was lovely and crunchy making the meal all the better. Our waitress Lowri was great. Very attentive and friendly. Ordered efficiently, delivered food efficiently and room the payment efficiently. Everything you want from a waitress. Thank you Lowri for making the lunch even better!

I had the Francis favourite and it was so tasty, came out with all my university friends and had a rally fun night! Will be revising :)

Super yummy pizza. Great place for groups. I had the mushroom pizza and was super good, would recommend. Great Sunday night!

Amazing pizza and excellent service. Our waiter was such a nice guy who gave us the best experience. It was so nice so go out for dinner

Excellent service and super friendly staff !!! Food was very good and tasted fresh, will definitely come back again!!!

Delicious pizza, the best one I've had in ages! (also reasonably priced) , nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I will be coming back for more! :)

The pizzas here are delicious. Such tasty toppings and the base is perfect. The restaurant has a great feel to it and there are windows with plenty of light and views outside. Lowri was a very pleasant waitress and made us feel very at home. We really appreciated this.

Khushy our waitress was lovely and attentive. The gluten free pizza was perfectly cooked and the buffalo mozzarella pizza was just the right size and delicious. Will be back?

Loved the food! The pizza was amazing and the staff were very kind. My food arrived quickly after I ordered. I would definitely come back again!

Great range of pizza options, excellently cooked, consumed in a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere. A decent range of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and reasonable prices - Not the cheapest, but you're paying for good quality food! One of our party had an unusual food allergy which was managed perfectly and without fuss by the staff. The branch in Exeter always seems busy, but we were able to get a table as a walk-in. If you're looking to dine as part of a group, it's worth booking in advance.

Went in for their £5 pizza deal and despite the restaurant not being too busy, my friend and I were stood there for around 10 mins before being greeted. Service was super slow and unenthusiastic, what should have been a quick meal took over an hour. The only redeeming quality was the pizza itself

Staff have always been slow to take orders, deliver food and greet customers at the door and it only seems to have gotten worse over the past few years. They seem to especially ignore student aged customers to cater to non-students. The only redeeming factor is the food.

The food was absolutely amazing! I had the number 10 pizza, red wine, and tiramisu. The service was even better than the food if that’s possible Giampiero was the best waiter I have had in years! He made the dinner more than a dinner, an experience! Would highly recommend!

Just awful live 10 buildings from this place and the food arrived cold and bland wouldn't recommend ordering from this sub par place the chippy has better pizza than this place

Booked for 7 on Saturday 20th Dec 2024 at 2pm. Ordered drinks which were paid for by one of the group on ordering. On leaving the bill still had all the drinks on it, but at the till we were assured they weren’t on the bill. After what seemed ages, and a lot of hassle, everyone had paid, but seems most paid more than were expecting, so assumed the drinks hadn’t been deducted! The ‘Francos Favourite’ pizza was bland and tasteless, plus seriously lacking in toppings, with about 10 tiny pieces of ‘ham’, which were mainly fat! 2 others paid for extra meat which looked slightly better. Worst part of all was the wine. Ordered a bottle of Montepulciano for 3 of us, which is my favourite Italian wine, so know it well. There was no mention of it even being Montepulciano on the bottle which is very strange and only 12%. The first sip was a shock, as it was bloody awful. For £25.50 this tasted and smelt like a £1.99 bargain bucket bottle, and undrinkable. This was all mentioned to the staff, who were quite frankly the only good thing there, as they were friendly and helpful and apologetic, especially the girl who tried to sort the bill out. No one had anything good to say about their food, or the ‘No Logo’ beers I’m afraid, so don’t waste good money on drinks in there, or come to think of it food either. Never going in one again.

A fab meal and our server rowan was lovely 💛

Delicious food and really good service from Holly. Will be back!

Girlfriend couldn't finish her meal, so I had 2 great meals. Would reccomend.

Four of us Dining last night. Ordered a couple of Pizzas, a meat and mozzarella platter and some bruschetta. Food was Enjoyable, hot and authentic. It arrived in good time too. I liked that the kitchen was open to the restaurant. However the service was poor. Right from the word go our waitress clearly was having a bad night. She seemed frustrated that we weren’t ready to order food when we just wanted to get our drinks and look at the menu, she returned fairly swiftly with a bottle of wine, and a bottle of water but slammed them on the table including the glasses. She only brought 4 and audibly tutted when we asked for 4 more (so we had 1 for wine and 1 for water). She took our food order and it arrived swiftly. As I said it was delicious. We wanted to order another bottle of wine and she was nowhere to be found so had to grab a different server.. once the food was finished the 3 ladies went to the toilet and I spent 10 minutes trying to attract the staffs attention to clear the table. Again she acted with disdain when asked. 5 minutes later she brought us the bill which we hadn’t asked for. I ordered 4 limoncello which came quite swiftly but then we had to wait over 15 minutes for a coffee. All in all good food, okay ambience but poor service. Thing was that we spent £150 and I almost always tip 10% but decided it wasn’t worth it so paid the exact amount. Probably would go back but wouldn’t want the same server.

Delicious salads, pizza, and dessert. Service was great as well. Will definitely be coming back as this is the best pizza I have found in Exeter so far! :)

Soo slow to get food out, completely overun by just eat orders which are priority so they can’t satisfy restaurant customers. Poor.

Great place. Top quality authentic pizza at a very reasonable price. The only improvement I can think of is maybe sharper knives or scissors to cut the pizza. But one of the best pizzas ever I've had.

Food was so good and Jake our server was so nice! Will defo be back.

Jake’s service was great and food was lovely!

Super lovely evening for my friend’s birthday. Jake was a lovely server and really attentive to our table.

Pizza was super nice. Jake had very good service!!!! Would definitely come back. Thanks for a great dinner :) woooooooo

Total lack of control from the serving team. Took far too long to take orders, serve drinks, balance out starters and mains, and even serve our tables course at the same time. It was quite clear that several tables in the restaurant were frustrated and the two staff were doing very little to remedy or manage the flow ( seemed to be taking delivery orders while allowing seated guest to fall by the wayside) I’ve eaten a few of their chain and generally the experience is well managed, but last night was too far from the mark to go unnoticed.

Lovely meal. Pizza is a 10/10. Haven’t had the garlic dip before and it was lovely. Hayden was great and very attentive too.

Bit busy but lovely food and pleasant time had by all.

Nice pizza served quickly. The industrial decor doesn't do much for the atmosphere but otherwise okay.

Pizza was absolutely delicious, the wait for food wasn't long, and the staff were very friendly!

amazing pizza and service!! our waiter, Jacob, was lovely

Great food and service! Sagar especially was a lovely waiter

our service done by sagar was amazing

Excellent, authentic-tasting pizza. Very fairly priced too!

Lovely service from our lovely waitress Emily

Brilliant service from Emily, the food was lovely and well priced

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff ….. especially Emily and more importantly great food 😘

Recently visited with a friend I haven’t seen for awhile so our visit was a bit of a celebration dinner and I have to say it was such a lovely evening!! The food was delicious and the service was incredible, we got chatting to one of the new managers Hayden and we could not fault his hospitality!! What a great venue we’ll definitely be back for our next catch up!

Unwelcoming atmosphere. Nobody at the door so we just picked a seat. We sat down for more than half an hour and no one came to our table. Not even a hello, 2 members of staff were wondering round the restaurant and there was only 2 other tables sat in the whole restaurant. Rude! So we just got up and left.

Pizza is not my go to food (was a group thing) so I had cold meats and picky bits. Staff were incredibly hospitable and friendly

Excellent ambience! Great service by Sagar Upadhyay. People like sagar enhance the dining experience.

The pizza was superb, especially good there for coeliacs - gluten free pizza my daughter had was excellent.

Violently mediocre food for what its costed. Wouldnt go there again. But the HS location sure is nice. Try firehouse instead. This is not a plug by any means.

Booked 20 days ahead of a birthday requesting window seat for sentimental reasons. On arrival told table had "over run". No apology or attempt to think of a solution. Booking also asked if it was a birthday which I confirmed, however, unsure why as not acknowledged at all. Very dissatisfied with service and staff.

Hayden was fantastic. Thank you for a lovely visit

Worse than awful. I can’t say the service was terrible as it was nonexistent. We asked for a table and were pointed towards a table outside by an extremely disinterested member of staff. We waited for someone to come and take our order but no one did. We left hungry and annoyed. We won’t rush back. We went somewhere else and were served immediately.
