Franco Manca Lincoln in Lincoln

I had a fantastic experience at Franco Manca, made even more special by the outstanding service from Hannah. From the moment I arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was just right throughout my meal. Her friendly personality and deep knowledge of the menu made the dining experience effortless and enjoyable. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious, but it was Hannah’s exceptional service that truly set the experience apart. She’s a real credit to the team, and we will definitely be returning!

really good feeling，the service is very nice！！！！strongly recommend！ Hannan have very nice service! !

Great food and quick service. Exceptional service from a lady called hannah we really appreciated the warm welcome.

Lovely pizza and tiramisu would recommend. Hannah was very accommodating for us, thank you!

Hannah was amazing, really friendly and great server give her a raise :)

great service from Hannah!!! very friendly and attentive

We came to eat at Lincoln and we loved Franco Manca, Jomin served us and it was fantastic

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great service! The two of us split the butternut squash salad and a pizza - both were wonderful. Hannah was super nice, and took great care of us! Thanks to Franco Manca for a wonderful meal!

Order pizza and was stone cold and like rubber

Joseph was a star. Helped me when I'd dropped coke on myself and my food. He was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

Joseph is a superstar server. Great food too.

Absolutely fantastic evening. Delicious food and 10/10 service from Joseph.

Really lovely evening. Chilled environment. Attentive service from Joseph but didn't feel rushed. Great food will be back

Alex was our host and she was amazing - very attentive and made us feel welcome. Food was amazing, with a good selection of vegan options

Absolutely top tier pizza! On par with the nicest pizza we had in Venice! Definitely popping in there every time in I'm town.

Chuka was so accommodating, Alex was absolute amazing! Holly was lovely. Josh made the best pizzas in the game 😍😍

Great food and fabulous service by Joseph. Pizza is excellent!

Alex, Chuka and holly. Their hospitality was amazing and would 100% would come back again. The pizza that was made by Josh tastes delicious. Would recommend a friend.

Alex was great Chuka was very accommodating Holly was so lovely Best pizza received from Josh

Food was great. Great service from Joseph also!

Joseph the waiter was incredible. Very funny and kind. Made us feel at home and was always happy to have a chat which I haven’t experienced before. Definitely would eat here again.

Joseph is absolutely wonderful, and our whole experience and our food were also delicious!!

Quite possibly the best Gluten Free pizza I’ve tasted in years. Disappointing there was only one choice , however I love mushrooms so all was good. Staff were super friendly & helpful. Service was excellent The restaurant was packed when we got there at 6.30 on Sat , however that did not impede on the quality of food or service Would deffo recommend 😁👍🏻

Not the cheapest but pizza was as good as sourdough can offer. Still 5 stars because it's just my personal preference to like traditional ones.

Came to Franco Manca with some friends for some food and it was absolutely lovely. The chef was Josh and all of our pizzas came quickly and were really nice 😊

Very excellent service by Joseph and Loved the food as well. Exceptional.

Delicious sourdough pizza with a perfect crispy base! Great service from Joseph, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Wasn't too busy today but loved the service provided by Furdy! He was really friendly and sweet made me feel welcomed. The food is also great by the chef on, Ella. Great time will come again.

I recently visited this place and I have to say it was a great experience, from the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff, I was served by Holly and Chuka they were great, their friendly attitude made the experience much more enjoyable. Plus, the ambiance was cozy and inviting, it’s a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend this place

I've been looking forward to reviewing this place as I hear good things about the food, but they play it loose with the advertised opening times, and it's always off-putting having staff standing staring at you while you're trying to figure out if they're open. Maybe one day.

Great food and atmosphere! Chuka was a wonderful & friendly waiter!

Had the best opportunity to be served by Chuka!!! Very polite, with quick service and made the experience amazingggg!! Will definitely come back again!!✨

pretty good, food was nice. good ambience. service was pretty good. Chuka was amazing, catered to my vegetarian needs.

Great service from Chuka, had a lovely time!

I came here for my birthday as I thought it was a nice atmosphere to eat with my friends. It was amazing! The pizza is really tasty and it was a cozy atmosphere, but what stand out the most was the service! Chuka was an amazing waiter with excellent service, he made sure we had everything we needed. Really a well deserved 5 stars💕🤌

I was welcomed in a fantastic way by Chuka, good service, good food, beautiful environment, I am very sure that I will return :)

Poor service, felt ignored, unwelcoming atmosphere, and mediocre pizza. Went here with my boyfriend for a date. We requested a table and were told to walk ourselves over to the table with no guidance, and didn't seem welcoming. We then had to then wait 15 minutes JUST to get our order taken even when the restaurant wasn't bust at that point in time, the staff was chatting amongst themselves rather than providing service. The time it took for us to get our food was good, but the pizzas were very average and tasted nothing spectacular. Once finished, the table was cleared and they asked if we wanted dessert and we said no, we then had to wait 15 minutes just to get our bill. After getting our bill, we then had to wait another 10 minutes to even pay! Another family finished after we had and had their bill given and paid for before we have... We felt very ignored. There was an optional service fee added to our bill, but as we thought our service was poor we asked to remove it, the waitress then walked away and spoke to another waitress and looking back at us in a rude manner, as if speaking about us poorly.

Absolute rubbish service, walked in and waited to be seated not feeling welcome at all. Then waited around 15 minutes for order to be taken . Pizzas were Oright but both me and partner felt sick after eating this.

Popped here on our last night in Lincoln. The atmosphere was lovely with friendly and helpful staff. Did not have to wait long for our food, pizzas, and all the extras prepared fresh in an open plan kitchen so we could watch all our food being made. Definitely will be visiting next time I'm in Lincoln! Keep up the great work!😁👌

Amazing restaurant, pizza was delicious!! The staff really were the highlight so welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend :)

Fantastic pizza place, great selection of toppings and sides. The sourdough base was very good. Great selection of drinks including a nonalcoholic lager. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

We had a great time , all the staff that served us were superb . Food was great too . Would definitely recommend

If you want to try fresh, healthy and colourful food- go to Franco Manca! Quick service, relaxed atmosphere and really nice food. Good choice for vegetarians. Pizza with potato surprised me 🤩

There were plenty of tables cleared to sit at, but we and the other people waiting were left standing for 15 minutes before we were acknowledged. Once seated our order was taken. We noticed that our pizzas were given to the wrong table, then given to us. The pizza were tasty, but only just warm enough. We had to ask for our missing garlic dip. We had ordered red wine at £8 a glass. It was served in a water tumbler. This is unacceptable. We like Franca Manca pizza, but up your game this is not acceptable.

Great pizza, really good staff who are up for a laugh (shout out to Hannah!) Good atmosphere too, kitchen visible with a wood fired oven - can’t ask for much more!

The pizzas are usually great here but today they were soggy and the dough was undercooked. Although staff were friendly they were slow to take our order, and when we needed things were too busy talking to the chef, our server checked in with us when we were nearly finished which by then was too late, he cleared my friends plate whilst I was still eating. We also both had our coats on and were clearly finished and it took them ages to offer to bring the bill.

I had an amazing dining experience at Franco Manca, and it was all thanks to the lovely team! Ana, our server, was absolutely delightful—attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. She truly added a personal touch to our meal. A special shoutout to Chef Ella, who went above and beyond to ensure our pizzas were cooked to perfection. Her attention to detail was impressive, and the result was deliciously crisp, yet not overdone. Thank you, Ana and Ella, for making our meal so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be back for another slice of Franco Manca’s exceptional service and pizza.

Food was the best pizza iv ever had , nice and cheesey , hot and home made Service was very quick , i had my pizza in under 10 minutes and the staff were super friendly , Atmosphere was quite warm on a cold sinter day with the delicious smell of pizza in the air , chill and relaxing music in the backround

Amazing pizza! Hannah was amazing, very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was very pleased with the service. Ana was very professional and good at her service. Our foods, desserts were prepared very quickly and the pizzas prepared by Ella were very delicious.

Amazing service, can't wait to come back! Hannah was great, she made us feel so welcomed!

Amazing staff! Really kind and helpful and know the menu and brand really well. Holly and Hannah and a gentleman served us and they were all lovely. Been wanting to try it for ages and so glad we did!! Will definitely be back.

This review goes out to the UI ping lady that severed us tonight. Funny, bubbly, helpful. I’d employ her in an instant. Pizza was fine 👌

Great food and great service! And discounts for Uni students! Hannah was the sweetest!!

I had No 10, not a dry, dusty traditional pizza that the name might imply but a fluffy, pillow of mushroom and truffle heaven oozing with flavour that was served super quick! Thank you Mzahev for your service, superb 👌🏽

I had an amazing experience at Franco Manca in Lincoln. The No. 9 pizza, featuring Italian smoked beef, mozzarella, Franco's grand, wild rocket, capers, and a lemon dressing, was a deliciously unique take on sourdough pizza—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The staff, especially Freddy and Joseph, were incredibly helpful and professional, ensuring a great dining experience. Highly recommend!

Very friendly customer service from Chuka

Have come a few times and have been served by Hannah, Ashley, Joseph and Freddie, all were amazing and the food is always so good, best pizza in Lincoln

Great food and service from Joseph and Freddie as usual, 10/10

Great atmosphere for a meet up, great food. Freddie and Joseph were friendly and helpful.

Food is incredible, cannot believe the pizza is so good for the price - blows everywhere else out of the water. Both Freddie and Joseph are incredible waiters and hosts and always turn it from a great meal to a great experience

Quality food and service from Joseph and Freddie!! Highly recommend! Will be coming back!

Quality food and top service from Freddy and Joseph.

Really enjoyed my time here, food was great, really nice atmosphere. (Freddy and Joseph were very helpful)

Really enjoyed the food and the service from Joseph and Freddie.

Great service from Joseph and Freddie. Good food aswell

Chuka served me and the boys very well, appreciate him.

Great service from Chuka, very professional and friendly

Couldn't ask for more great service and little trouble with my order but Ashley who served me rectified it right away no issues. Me and the family will be back for sure 😊

Amazing service from Joseph and Freddie, great first time!

Would have been 5 but they add a service charge to the bill, which I don't think is right.

perfect place for food. lovely staff, great atmosphere and food. 100% recommend . fast service too

I had dinner at this Italian pizzeria tonight, and it was an amazing experience! The pizza was absolutely excellent – perfectly cooked, with authentic flavors that reminded me of Italy. The staff were outstanding, especially Hannah, who went above and beyond to make our evening special. The vibe of the entire team was so welcoming and positive, it makes you want to come back for more. Definitely a place I’ll return to – highly recommended!

First impressions weren't great. Upon arrival my wife asked the server if they could fit us in. Rather than replying vocally she just nodded at us slowly. Maybe I'm out of order for finding that irritating but I do think a polite response would have been more welcoming. We were show to a table where we then sat for about 15mins before the same server came over to take an order. While I was giving mine she zoned out distracted by something going on outside. She did apologise. My wife and I ordered a no. 2 pizza each and a side of garlic and mozzarella bread. I had to walk to another table to get cutlery for the two of us. Another server spotted me and said they had been too busy to set the tables properly. It was nice of her to explain but still no apology. My wife's pizza was okay. Nothing special. Mine however was soaking wet for some reason. The best way to describe it was "sloppy". The garlic bread just tasted strongly of oil. So much so it overpowered the taste of garlic. All in all a pretty poor dining experience for a meal that cost the best part of 50 quid for 2. Never thought you could get pizza wrong.

Amazing pizzas, the garlic bread is basically the size of another pizza!!

lovely food and great service by Joseph :)

Me and my friends had an amazing experience at Franco Manca and the food was absolutely delicious. We were served by Alex who was extremely lovely and even gave us recommendations for next time.

Absolutely brilliant, pizza's are amazing, fresh orange juice and lemonade. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our pizza and drinks. We will be back. My son is returning with his girlfriend. Staff are really polite, friendly and welcoming. Keep up the good work.

Food was lovely and Hannah was fantastic! very friendly and amazing personality

We had two of the worse pizzas we have ever had, anywhere. The bases were so undercooked, they could only be described ‘sloppy’. Ordered two pints of lager and was brought one and a pint of pale ale. This was changed, but how can can you get “two pints of lager please” wrong. Had to use a knife and fork to eat the pizzas! My wife didn’t eat hardly any of hers. Complained when I paid and did receive an apology, “sorry about that”. Awful experience, just a few pence short of £40 for 2 terrible pizzas and 2 lagers. Following this review I was contacted by Franco Manca and they were very apologetic, even offering me free pizzas to compensate. A very good response I think. Prepared to give them another try.

Very rude customer service, wouldn't recommend to anyone who likes to be treated with any modicum of respect.

We had a fantastic meal here on October 9th before going to a show at the Drill Hall. We returned yesterday 05/11/24 with our daughter and granddaughter after telling them how great the food was. So disappointing. My wife had exactly the same meal as our first visit (roast pumpkin salad). On the 9th October the meal was served warm but on our return visit was stone cold. We queried this and were told it was supposed to be cold. Likewise, I previously had the wild mushroom, truffle pesto and burrata pizza and loved it. Second time round the burrata, which should be added room temperature on a hot pizza, was ice cold and made the entire meal cold within five minutes. We did complain and were given a slight discount. On our first visit the atmosphere was fantastic. We had great personal service by (I think) the owner. Not so yesterday. Sadly we will not return to this restaurant or recommend it.

Hannahs service today was truly exceptional. She truly made the experience worthwhile and is a credit to the company, the best example of customer service I've seen in a long while. Keep up the great work and all the best in the future. Enjoy your well deserved holiday!!

My favourite place for pizza in Lincoln, prices are very affordable and the food is amazing. The pizza is fresh and has plenty of filling, the crust is thin and soft which makes it easier to cut. The food is made straight away and you get a nice hot pizza. Plenty of great selections of pizzas and desserts. Staff are welcoming and friendly, downside is that the wait times are long but it's worth it for a fresh tasting pizza. Sometimes staff can take a while to attend you but I don't mind. Would recommend the student deal, which is any pizza from 2-6 with any soft drink for 9.95 which is an amazing deal. Considering the pizza prices ranging from £7-13. This deal is available from Sunday to Thrusday. Atmosphere can be lacking when the place is empty but once it fills up, it's a joy being there. Decor is warm and welcoming with plenty of seating inside for small groups.

Good pizza and really friendly staff.

Had a lovely meal here today. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Super thanks to Hannah who was very chatty and funny. She made us both laugh and I am sure her personality and demeanour brightens the day of many customers at FM, and it did ours!

We were served by Joseph, and the experience was lovely! He was very friendly, made sure we were okay throughout, and food was amazing!

Excellent Pesto chicken salad and Tuna salad. The pizza choice seemed limited, and the cheese garlic bread was thin pizza bread and wasn't cheesy or garlicky. Beer choice was very poor. Nothing available from the oven like al forno dishes offered in other well-known Italian chains. We think we'll go elsewhere next time.

Biggest shout out to Hannah. Sorry this review is late but I could not not give you a review. You were amazing when serving us and you had an amazing energy I’ll never forget!!! Wishing you all the very best!!

Keep it a secret... but this place has just got everything right. Staff brilliant too.

I recently visited Franco Manca and found the overall experience to be a bit mixed. The service, unfortunately, was quite slow. We had to prompt the servers to bring us the drinks we had ordered, which took longer than expected. While the food itself was fairly standard and nothing particularly stood out to me, my partner enjoyed their meal, so it seems to come down to personal taste. If you're after a casual bite and aren’t too pressed for time, Franco Manca might be an okay choice, but be prepared to wait a bit longer than you'd like for service.

Alice and Hollie were brilliant, lovely food and service. Will come again. Lincoln

Joseph delivered great service. The pizza was phenomenal.

Excellent pizza with some fresh meat and cheeses... Joseph in particular was pleasant, prompt and polite... an all round fantastic experience!

Joseph gave us a lovely experience. And the dine in wouldn't have been the same without him

Great service, great food, all round great experience

lovely gluten free pizza and lovely staff!!!

Place is quality. Joseph is great. Service overall was excellent

Joseph was a very friendly waiter. Great food and great service.

A long wait after taking our order, after half an hour i asked where our drinks where. Then after 10 mins they arrived then food followed. Pizza was beautiful 👍🏽
