Franco Manca Hove in Brighton and Hove

The service was stellar and the food was good. Pizzas aren't cut which I'm assuming is by design. I personally would have liked some sort of info on that or the types of pizza that it served. The flavors are fresh and lovely. The sourdough crust was superb

Awesome customer service, lots of smiles and great vegetarian options

Su was so lovely!!! Sounds crazy but I don’t actually like pizza, but I had the Number 10 and it was so good. Su was very patient with some technical difficulties with the discount we tried to apply and sorted it out for us. Very friendly <3 I usually struggle with talking to servers etc because of anxiety but I felt very comfortable asking for something with her. Thank you for a lovely evening!! ❤️

It was good, hmmm well , I always enjoy Franco Manca. No negatives, all perfect. Well done

Fast service, good prices and fresh pizzas.

Just had a wonderful evening with my family taking part in the Franco Manca pizza making Masterclass. Such a warm and welcoming bunch of people that couldn’t do enough for us. The class was really good fun and well worth it if you have any interest in making your own pizzas. All topped off with us sitting back and enjoying our own pizza creations. See you guys again soon.

I thought the food and service were really good, unfortunately I forgot some cash with me and couldn't leave a tip, and the waiter replied with a smile on his face that there was no problem. I think that the price-quality ratio of food in the restaurant is really very good, I paid about PLN 30 for a large margharite, and in Poland I would get a worse and smaller pizza for this price. I think it's really worth visiting this pizzeria because it's very sad that they have such good food and the atmosphere inside, but so few customers.

Lunch was brilliant. Kids also eat free which was a nice surprise!

everything was perfect!!especially Vincenzo so polite with our students and us.he was very sociable with everone of our group coming from Italy

Great sourdough pizza. Friendly welcoming team and a good atmosphere.

Lovely, friendly staff. Good food. Child friendly. Relaxed ambience. Value for money. Will definitely come back again.

As a Sicilian, the best pizzeria in the whole of the UK. Highly hydrated Neapolitan dough and excellent quality ingredients. Price like in Italy

Great food and atmosphere, staff were very friendly, 5 stars to Ceris as she was very smiley and a great waitress for our experience

Very impressed with the new menu and staff always seem to be happy and helpful. Definitely best pizzeria in town!!!

Georgie porgy was amazing love the service ~luvena

Really enjoyed the food here and reasonable priced

Me and my bf came in friday night, it was a lovely experience. Our food was delicious and all the waitresses were super smiley. Thank you Sue for the limoncello shots, it was amz and thanks to taking care of us

Amazing food, amazing service, definitely coming again!!

Lovely pizza!! We will be back!! Thank you Simona for make us feel at home!

Our waitress was brilliant, the pizza was average. Was disappointed with the uncomfortable seating and glass tumblers for our wine! I think the identity of this place is confused... sitting somewhere between a fast food restaurant and an Italian restaurant. It's a shame, a few little changes and this place could capture a more adult clientele.

The BEST pizza I have ever tasted! My favourite place to eat pizza!! 😋😋

I was craving pizza and I didn't know I went to the right place. The pizzas are very delicious and Ms. Sue helped me to try these beautiful pizzas. She made suggestions and thanks to her, I had this beautiful experience. She was very friendly and polit. The service was excellent.

We came here for my birthday - because as pizza (chains) go this one is the best by far. The service is always first class and we go that here tonight. Our Host (I presume was the manager), Simona was amazing. She was super friendly and when a starter turned up, she immediately replaced it as she didn’t think the original was done well (enough). She made sure we were happy throughout and it was only when she cleared up our plates she discovered it was my birthday and gave us free Lemoncello shots and some beautiful Tiramisu. The food is very good. There is always a good choice of pizza, which changes from time to time, and more great selections on the board. The pizza was delicious, as were the drinks we had too (Negroni and a Gin & Tonic). Wonderful evening. If you ever want pizza in Brighton or Hove, seek out Franco Manca. There is one in the North Laines, Brighton, and this one in Hove. Well done staff and especially Simona. Five stars

Amazing food and amazing staff! Simona is just perfect! She made me feel like home. She knows what she’s doing. See you soon

Been here for lunch with the family and the pizzas were delicious and super fast. All the staff was super friendly and efficient. Good job everyone 👏

Nice quick late lunch on Tuesday. Lovely staff Good pizza

Relly good food , lovely staff and good price range

Yesterday night tried the pizza for the first time and was delicious. Very friendly and happy service too. Will definitely back again

Visited the one in Hove. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was disappointed with the food. Tomato sauce in the starter, tasted like from a tin and pizza dough, the edges weren't cooked properly. The cheesecake was nice.

Pretty good pizza place in Brighton, service is ok

Franco Manca is one of my favourite places for pizza but this time (Saturday night) was disappointing. It was busy when we came in, but make table were left quickly after. We were told at the door to wait for 10 to get a table clean and ready that turns out to be 30. A Second Lady asked us when more people enter the restaurant; we were all seated at the same time, there were other 2 couples so it meant that free tables were ready for us much earlier. We saw other table gentleman, standing up and taking some plates for the table as they were sharing pizza and seems no waiting staff was around. There were 4 people on the floor but not organised at all. Once at the table the pizza’s came quickly but the waiting time when tables were ready was very low standard, and made the whole experience really bad.

McPizza Place. We had to get up everytime to retrieve our waitress: to place orders, more water, desserts, bills. Poor.

Everything is perfect. We would especially like to thank Ms. Su for her interest and polite behavior. We must definitely come again to see the Su lady.

Great price for good pizza, has a lively atmosphere. We would especially like to thank Ms. Su for her friendly attitude and helpfulness.

just had a quick dins at Franco Manca hove. The manager was flying solo and she was great! Managed our expectations when we got there that she was understaffed, was still super quick and was really smiley the whole time. Really good service

Feeling personally attacked as the food was burnt to crisp. What chef and team have the pride to send this out. Awful experience.

Great food ,even better service,what more can you ask! ( Brighton)

Nicht zu vergleichen mit einer Pizzeria in Deutschland, geschweige denn in Italien. Der Service ist bemüht. Das Ambiente naja. Im Gastraum ist es sehr laut. Die Pizza war zum Hungern stillen ok, leider nicht mehr. Einen Wein im Wasserglas zu servieren geht gar nicht! Preis/Leistung passt nicht.

Great atmosphere! The best fresh pizza in Hove. Service was incredible. Staff were all lovely and the Sourdough crust was top tier

I highly recommend Franco Manca Hove. They have very good quality products and very good quality staff. The manager today 7 January 2024 took time to contact me for my lost phone turned over to the shop. I am ever grateful and will always remember the staff and the shop this day . They care about the welfare of their customers. Be blest.

Lovely restaurant in the heart of Hove. Staff are attentive and friendly. The chefs create delicious pizza and we absolutely love it here. Will keep coming back. Great for families as they provide colouring pencils for kids and kids eat free!

Good pizzas for sure! Well worth a visit.....I'll be back soon....

A rather good sourdough pizza indeed! Shall return

We were there Friday night Lovely atmosphere and great customer service thanks to the young waitresses and the amazing host. And the pizzas were mouth watering thanks to the great chefs.

Lovely pizzas, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Would not recommend ordering from here at the weekend. Although we ordered early, delivery was almost a hour late and the pizza was unappetising and cold. Very disappointing.

10/10 service, lovely staff made us feel welcome and special

We visited for an early Christmas lunch and were greeted by the lovely Enzo who was incredibly welcoming and friendly (he remained attentive throughout the service and is a real credit to the restaurant). We were a party of 5 and all really enjoyed our different pizzas from the main menu (I was given a doggy bag for mine as couldn't finish it all but of course did not want to waste it!). The sourdough crust was really tasty and all topped with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend.

This is the first and last time I will use Franco Manco. The food took forever to come and was cold when it arrived. More importantly all 3 items - 2 pizzas & garlic bread - we burnt - actually black and 50% inedible. How a company / manager / chef whatever can think its ok to send a burnt item out to a customer is beyond me. I rang the restaurant to resolve the matter. The first person who answered the phone - an English girl was horrified and tried to help but the 'manager' took over the phone call. This ignorant fool - who sounded italian - was not at all interested. He told me just to claim a refund. I said 'but what about my dinner' his response was 'place another order' - absolute disgrace !!!

Vincenzo is an absolute gem, as are all of the staff. Food, atmosphere and service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place!

This is our weekly spot before boys swimming lessons on a Wednesday evening. We were drawn in by the good value with the kids meals and our two boys who love pizza. Vincenzo and all the staff recognise us now and without fail make us feel welcome taking time to speak to speak to us. Super catering to my partners food allergy and offering interesting alternatives for her. We enjoy our trips here and will continue to visit. Thank you for being our friendly neighbour hood pizza restaurant.

After a long day at work and early Xmas presents hunting I decided to visit Franco Manca in Hove Chruch Road for a well deserved treat. I was welcomed by Vincenzo with a big smile and made sure to accommodate me as much as possible. He went the extra mile in providing me with comfort and friendliness. I am always in search of new flavours and must say the Franceso Mazzei pizza is so delicious, cooked to perfection the smoked burrata was the star of the show . Of course , there’s always space for desert , I couldn’t say no to tiramisu. So fluffy, so light 😍 Had a great experience , will definitely return!! P.s.try the chilli dip , goes so well with the pizza , it’s almost a must have !

We visited Franco Manca for lunch for the first time yesterday and would thoroughly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm and friendly welcome from the manager, Enzo, and his team. The restaurant has a cozy, traditional Italian feel and the food was fresh and delicious. The pizzas were cooked to perfection and the salads, olives and breads were beautifully presented and full of flavour. Service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Enzo and his staff. The meal was not expensive and excellent quality. There was more than we could eat and our waitress was more than happy to put the leftovers into a box for us to take away. All in all, a warm and friendly welcome, great atmosphere, delicious food and excellent value for money, means we will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant.

Great pizza, fresh ingredients, good variety on menu, family friendly, it was kids eat for free in October half term. Friendly welcome. Did not feel like a chain restaurant. Would visit again.

Oggi con la mia famiglia abbiamo pranzato a Hove principalmente vado lì per Vincenzo, bravo al pizzaiolo per la buona pizza.

Great staff and service. Good atmosphere. Spotlights are a bit bright but waiter moved the direction of it towards the wall and all ok!

Atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly, especially the manager (Vincenzo) who was very enthusiastic and good at meeting & greeting and instructing & helping staff. Pizzas were very nice, but could've been a bit more generous with the toppings. Service was good too.

Manager was so welcoming and friendly, waitress really lovely and always checked if we were OK and if we needed anything! Thanks for a lovely tasty meal. Never a let down at Franca

Amazing atmosphere! Vincenzo was the best, big smile and super friendly. We had 2 pizzas and they were delicious as always. We really loved how the blonde waitress and Vincenzo took care of us, by making sure we were happy with our choices and we...

Lovely lunch today in the Hove branch. Excellent service provided by the young server (sorry didn't catch her name!), very attentive and friendly. The manager was lovely too and made a great latte! Food yummy as always! Will definitely be back to this location.

Poor service and they were out of stock of buffalo mozzarella, san pellegrino sparkling water, vanilla ice cream. Ordered olives on one of the pizzas but it was omitted. Manager appeared totally uninterested it was obvious we were unhappy but I had to go up...

Clean, comfortable restaurant, with great food (as always with Franco Manca!). Clean and modern toilet facilities downstairs. I also have to mention the amazing service from the very friendly Vincenzo. Thank you so much!

Great price for decent pizza, buzzing atmosphere, nice friendly and helpful staff.

We went on a Tuesday afternoon. There were just two other people there. With over 50 covers it would be hard to have any atmosphere. The food (pizza) was good indeed. The side salad was tasty with dressing and grated cheese. We had a bottle of red wine which was pleasant but expensive for a pizza place at £28.50

The greatest meals are always accompanied by the greatest staff. Vincenzo is our most favourite waiter in Brighton which makes the pizza even tastier. Finding happy, friendly hard-working staff is rare; Hove is lucky to have you and your beamy smiles Vinny!

Wonderful meal and superb service by the most friendly waitress Cerys. Thank you for a lovely evening, will be back with the children soon.

Fantastic food. Saved the day for our family. Lovely waitress and delicious food. An absolute pleasure for all the family!! Beautifully made pizzas!!

Vincenzo is the atmosphere! He's brought his fun personality from Brighton and their loss is Hove's gain. Used to be amazing when an independent. Still good as a chain as long as the fun staff are there. Number 5 always. Scotch bonnet always (stop running...

Claire was very lovely service with a smile very lovely ♥️♥️♥️ very chatty Would definitely recommend this restaurant food was lovely Xx Will come again

Fantastic food and service especially from Vincenzo 😊 and Louise The pizza was great, thoroughly recommend the mushroom and burrata andctrufgle pesto option

We were greeted instantly, we were served in such a happy and friendly way, and the food was amazing!! Definitely coming here again !!!!! 100/10

Awful waitress super rude rolling her eyes at everything and had no patience she told us she usually works at the restaurant in the lanes, STAY AWAY IF SHES WORKING. Food didn’t come out together then proceeded to pull apart my pizza with her hands and showing me how to eat it extremely disgusting. Dough tastes undercooked and heavy had too much yeast in it, do not recommend coming from a waitress at an Italian restaurant this service was horrendous! And was charged for a child’s meal after the clear sign outside says children eat free.

This place sets the new Franco Manca for me in Hove very high , going above and beyond our expectations, a wonderful experience, exquisite food and great service . We’ll be coming again Thank you Vincenzo!

An authentic Italian service and experience, these guys know how to do it right. The pizza was tasty and did not take long to arrive at all . Well done Vincenzo and team!

I’ll be back just for the legend Vincenzo

Great service, fast, friendly, delicious, good time to be here with friends to have dinner and have chat.

Food is very good BUT for me the difference was a fantastic person that served us with top quality hospitality and professionalism. I felt I was in Italy (maybe even better than Italy) His name is Vincenzo and he was absolutely top class and attentive...

Great friendly service. Food tasty, reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting again.

Amazing place, super friendly staff especially the manager Vincenzo, a kind of wizard with kids, he is always ready to satisfy our requests making sure that everyone is happy and satisfied. Pizza is just one of the best I have ever had and for sure I’ll be glad to enjoy it again with kids.

Ciao. Siamo stati sul posto e ci siamo trovati benissimo!!! Personale fantastico e gestione perfetta! Ritorneremo sicuramente!!! E poi la pizza per i bimbi è gratis!!! Wonderful! 😍😍😍

This was our first time ordering from Franco Manca via Uber Eats. Unfortunately (and at no fault of the restaurant) we were assigned a delivery driver who had zero intention of picking up our food meaning that over an hour later (when we were finally assigned a new driver) the food arrived cold. We called up the restaurant and explained the situation only to be told that there was nothing that they could do and to “reheat the food in the oven once it had arrived”. Followed by “we cannot create a new order for you as this would mess up our inventory and we would lose £30”. We did not expect the restaurant to remake our food, however you would have thought that they would at least want to help in some way? I’m guessing £30 is not worth the possibility and loyalty of a returning customer (in turn making them more money?) Nonetheless, the food was actually good despite it being cold, and the woman that I had spoken to on the phone was very pleasant - so some positives.

Amazing welcome from the friendly staff. We couldn’t decide on a starter so ordered four of them between the two of us. Then the pizzas arrived. OMG, the most delicious sourdough and original delicious toppings. Highly recommend. ❤️

Lovely food and great atmosphere ! Toilets were also nice and clean which is always appreciated :)

Quick, friendly service. Nice Pizzas, cheap spritz.

Great food and above average service, the restaurant is quite loud and on a busy street with not pretty views.

honestly had the best time at Franco manca hove! the atmosphere was so chill and everyone was so nice. the food was sooo good omg. especially the vegan margarita with caramelised onions. also the toilets were so clean and I loved that haha. deffo going again!

Great sourdough pizzas and wonderful staff

Amazing fun and awesome experience and food. Will be back soon. Kids friendly too. We loved number 3 and the meat special in particular.

Your pizza is simply the best- available for everyone the taste and quality is amazing. Very warm and efficient service on the top of all! Definitely coming back!

This is the right place to bring your family… excellent environment excellent food.. just amazing. I totally recommend!

My son loved the birthday party. Thank you for the staff who made it so special. Great pizzas and salads too ! RECOMMENDED.

Attentive staff and quick service. Definitely a treat to myself. Pizza super tasty and fresh. thank you

First time here and it was a lovely pizza. So tasty and light on your stomach as well. Didn’t feel bloated and everything was fresh and just so good. Reasonable prices too. Friendly staff with quick service and clean areas. Recommended, best pizza around

The pizzas were good, nothing spectacular but good. When you were served the staff were nice and friendly but there were long gaps when you couldn't get anyone's attention. The first 2 desserts we asked for were not available. The prices of the pizzas were quite reasonable.

If you are in the Hove and want to treat the family or friends to an awesome night, come here. Staff are super friendly, prices are reasonable and the pizza is amazing. I'm an Aussie, can absolutely vouch for this place!! Bloody awesome mate 👍

Amazing food and vibes. Definitely recommend. A true step into Italy. Thank you for all the staff for making it special.

Couldn't be happier with quality - price. Attentive staff and quick service. Restaurant looks clean and tidy, 100% recommend and coming back. Thank you for the veggie options too !

Filipe was very nice and we had a very friendly welcome. Food was amazing too. We will be back for sure.

Amazing place and service and super tasty pizza. The quality is incredible each time we get anything from there. Also the coffee is super tasty.
