Franco Manca Oxford in Oxford

One of the worst pizzas I’ve had. Too much dough, very little toppings and cheese. Cocktails come in kinda cheap looking water glasses, didn’t like the vibe, but main point again the lack of taste.

Foods lovely. Staff friendly, and quick.

Fairly standard pizza, a bit lacking in flavour for both toppings and dough. I really enjoyed the goats cheese and pepper bruschetta, which was visually well presented and had a great balance of flavours. Nicely decorated place, but adding a tip automatically is both a rude bit of social pressure and lack of transparency in price and needs calling out.

Great atmosphere and really friendly service. Spritz was good, and my friend loved her pizza. I wasn't completely won over by mine. I expected it to be charred, but this was verging on burnt and ended up being dry and bitter. It was very affordable, and I'd be willing to go again to see if it was an off day. I've heard lots of good things so I'm hoping that's the case.

Really enjoy this restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious xx

Food, service and atmosphere always incredible. We were visiting from Reading and HAD to get some delicious pizza. Great portions, friendly staff, lovely location. Will definitely be back a massive thank you to the lovely ladies who looked after us today.

Great food and service. Some great pizzas and good prices. Wild definitely be back

Had a very nice dinner here last week. I was with family, and everyone was able to choose a pizza they liked. The drinks were amazing, and the service was lovely. Overall we had great experience!! Ps. The staff are always running around, it seems to be busy. I think management should hire more people and pay them more.

We had an incredible meal, the pizza’s were delicious and the service was great! Couldn’t fault anything and will definitely be coming back more often!

Franco Manca in Oxford offers fantastic sourdough pizza. Faisal recommended the classic Margherita, and it was absolutely perfect!

worst restaurant in town last night I went to eat a pizza with friends when suddenly we saw something really disgusting, mice running around the restaurant walking on the tables and climbing the walls, a truly disgusting scene and especially when I went to complain to the staff and the manager told me to leave in unkind ways and that if I didn't say anything without arguing he would offer me dinner, truly unprofessional behavior and above all not right for a restaurant of a certain type. nothing to add not recommended and we certainly won't go back again.

Perfect pre theatre dinner they got us served quickly and pizza was delicious

MOUSE INFESTATION I went to Franco Manca in Oxford to dine in and eat a pizza and salad with my sister. While I was eating my sister told me to turn around and not to move as there was mice crawling into the kitchen at Franco Manca Oxford. I recorded the mice and went to speak to the manager. When I spoke to the manager she said it is "Normal to have mice in the kitchen in England." The manager knew I was from America told me that "England is not America and there are differnt laws here." I told her that it was extremely unsanitary to have mice in the kitchen and running around the restaurant. She told me that she was aware of the problem but the mice are okay and the owner will cover up the holes eventually. While she was talking to me more mice started to run under guests feet and tables, I started pointing and telling her there is more mice running under the table and she said I need to leave the restaurant as I am causing a problem when the mice are fine. The mice were running through the restaurant and other guests saw them but said it was normal in that restaurant. The mice ran to the open kitchen in the middle where the pizza was being made and grabbed food. The restaurant also had drinks in cans and bottles on the ground and on the mini fridge where the mice were also crawling up. Completly unsanitary and the manager refused to make any more comments and asked me to leave.

I had a fantastic experience at Franco Manca! The pizza was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with that signature sourdough crust. What really stood out, though, was the service. Mia, our server, was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back!

Been going there for many years and everything is always good, they are always busy and their menu is small so you know everything is fresh. The pizza dough is the best and made in house. Service is always quick and friendly Daria and Faisal served me today.thank you

Fantastic pizzas at Franco Manca Oxford! A shoutout to Faisal, our server, who was incredibly nice and spoke excellent French. Highly recommend!

Always love going to Franco Manca Oxford. We were served by Anne who was amazing! Will always come back

Perfect evening and Faisal was incredible attentive. Spot on

This is my favourite pizzeria in Oxford. They have a great menu, the staff are always lovely, and the Italian chefs are fast, constantly preparing and serving food without ever losing their smile. The amatriciana pizza is my absolute favourite! I always bring my friends here, and I totally recommend it. The prices are really good too, which is hard to find!

Recommended by a friend, and after what we found from the welcoming,good service,delicious pizza and salad, family atmosphere,I highly recommend to try Franco Manca oxford.

This restaurant hosted 3 of our student groups this month. Service was very efficient, food was delicious. As an Italian, I would definitely recommend!

During my one week in Oxford, this was my absolute favorite place to dine at. Apart from having the most amazing pizza (which is priced very reasonably) they also have AMAZING salads.

Very good pizza and also good beer 🫶🏻🤟🏻

Extremely quick and quality service from Marian. The place was busy, but the moment the food came out we knew why. Nice location. It is worth it. An absolute must visit for a quick but hearty meal.

Delicious food (especially number 9 and the Franca salad!), quick service, helpful team. Special regards to Mr. Burak who has been more than helpful.

This restaurant is a great place for cheap pizza. The staff were great and the food was exceptional. The restaurant is quite busy, so it was very loud and there was a wait to get in.

Not Great, Tables Packed in, Nothing Special no Draught Beer

Starter Italian cuts was good value and tasty; Mains pizza had a flavourful thin crust but with bare minimum of topping. Service was friendly but quite slow and not attentive at all. When bill finally came, it had a service charge added automatically. This was a rare time that I insisted that the charge be removed. Don't intend to return.

披萨非常正宗，甜点也超级赞。服务员小姐姐非常热心！强烈推荐！服务员小姐姐给我们点完菜忘了下单，我们等了快30分钟，后来小姐姐觉得非常不好意思给我们送了两份甜点，态度非常好！

Pinot was horrible and served in a cheap water glass. Food was dry and overcooked

The pizza was really good, very thin and the crust was crunchy. The place felt very welcoming and the workers really nice

Lovely staff the food was perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous. I went with my friend and we had such a good time and felt so welcome would 100% recommend

Desserts clearly shrank in size and increased in price. A few years ago, the slices were pretty big and now, they are literally tiny. My cake last time was a small square, I was very disappointed! If you increase the price, keep the same size at least. I still love the pizzas and drinks, it's a shame they try to save pennies on desserts.

Lovely pizza. Very busy for a week day night but was seated asap

Tried to get a reservation this evening and was told they couldn’t seat a table of 5 for 30 minutes, accepted and after walking around returned at the requested time, was sat at a standard table for 4 with a stool at one end for the addition, despite settings overlapping 🙄 asked to move yet despite larger tables sitting empty was advised we’d have to wait longer or stay where we were. Decided to go to McDonalds as I didn’t want to give them my money. Shame as we’d been previously when visiting Oxford and it was ok…won’t be returning 👎🏼

The Bath branch was much nicer. Very busy and humid inside, it felt like a pool changing room. Our pizzas also seemed like they'd been sitting out for a little while (not properly hot). There are simply too many tables in the restaurant and it's quite unpleasant when full.

Superb pizza! I had the no.8 and it was gloriously cheesy, meaty and tomatoey! Highly recommend. Was seated quickly and the food came quickly. Great for a quick stop pre work

I had one of the worst dining experiences at Franco Manca Oxford. I ordered a Parmigiana, expecting a rich, baked dish with layers of flavorful eggplant, tomato sauce, and cheese. What I got instead was a pile of boiled eggplant stacked on top of each other, drenched in a watery, tasteless sauce, with questionable melted cheese on top. It was utterly disappointing. To make things worse, I waited over an hour for a gluten-free pizza that was supposed to have burrata. Instead, it arrived with some sort of grainy ricotta-like substitute that tasted awful, alongside a thin, runny tomato sauce. The service was slow, the food was poorly prepared, and the overall experience was dreadful. Definitely not worth the price or the wait. Save yourself the disappointment and eat somewhere else.

Great pizza, good service, lively atmosphere.

Had the Amatriciana Pizza. Went at dinner time and they were too full (would have needed a reservation) so I got it for takeout. They were so fast, ready in less than 10 minutes.

Pizzas were amazing here. Add the whole burrata to yours, you want regret it.

Great pizza, sorbet, and coffee, served with a smile. What more can you ask for!

Mid afternoon trip. Really impressed with our waitress. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made our visit (with a toddler) perfect.

Just go and have Pizza and cool lemonade. Please do. , ;)

I ordered via uber eats - the pizza was an hour later than initially promised (waited 1h50' in total) and it was cold, not even lukewarm when it arrived. Pizza was very good despite that. But not gonna order from there again

Front of house service was great. First glass of wine tasted like vinegar, replaced without question. Pizza dough was undercooked, wet, and like trying to cut rubber, no structure. Even the bubbly ‘crust’ was doughy with no air. I think it’s supposed to be similar to Neapolitan. Lack of flavour with the pizza. We were lucky, I noticed pizzas coming out after ours had very pale undercooked crusts. Customers were visibly struggling to cut the pizzas. Staff apologised for the food. We were en route so couldn’t wait for replacement food.

I don't usually leave bad reviews but my main course salad I ordered for delivery this evening was particularly abysmal. It didn't fill me up, there was hardly any protein or cabohydrate in it to achieve that, (I had a bowl of cereal afterward) and the chicken pieces were unidentifiable pieces (you know when you just can't tell what the heck it is you're eating). The lettuce was the "spikey" kind which I don't particularly like as well and drowned in balsamic dressing. Sorry to write this but it really was not good at all.

Appalling service. Terrible cooperation from the waiter when it came to getting the order right and when applying their advertised discount. Firstly they forgot one of my party's orders meaning he couldn't get his food before he had to leave to an event. To add when applying the advertised 5 pound pizza discount the waiter refused to acknowledge how many pizzas we bought and then refused to help resolve this issue. To be clear we redeemed 8 codes that would mean 8 discounts but apparently this was not apparent to the waiter. After trying to resolve this discrepancy the waiter said 'it wasn't her problem.' I would not recommend going here.

The service was amazing, very helpful and nice, as well as fast (so great option for a quick lunch). Pizza dough was very good :)

Just great pizza, it was too crowdy tonight but the staff were welcoming and accommodating

was tasty, and they had a £5 pizza promo for Jan 2025 which made it even better!

Good pizza and Faisal is a good staff

I've been to a Franco Manco in London many times which I was very impressed by. This one is no different. Absolutely delectable pizza, with a firm, chewy crust. A lovely atmosphere, and friendly service. Will be coming back!

Being a coeliac ruined pizza for me... until I found Franco Manca! This restaurant was the first time I had tried this pizza and I am totally hooked! If you have anyone that's gluten free please take them here, they will thank you forever!

Best pizza in Oxford, Lydia superb waiter, Daria amazing manager

First time in a while having a franco manca, Lydia and Daria gave us amazing service and food was delicious.

Burak was a fabulous server! Big thank you!

absolutely lovely service from Burak! great pizza, great vibes, absolutely stunning pinot grigio

Amazing pizzas!! We went there for 3 consecutive days for lunch with our toddler who loved the pizzas. Service was great. Jan served us all 3 days. He was attentive and friendly. Thank you for being so welcoming.

Line was out of the door so assumed it was a good restaurant, but servers got my order completely wrong multiple times and added the wrong things to my bill. Took like thirty minutes to be given a coke and when I asked a different server they took 2 minutes. Put olives in my pizza for some reason, and my dinner was generally not nice

Lovely meal! Jan was a great waiter, he was really friendly and also helped us with a bigger table 🙂 good value for money and tasty pizzas! Thank you

The pizza is on another level, especially the homemade dough makes it an overall experience

Great simple pizza, friendly and helpful staff

Under cooked food always.. Go there if you want your stomach in bad shape

Burak made us feel like home. Great food and atmosphere

Burak was friendly, attentive, and made our visit really enjoyable. The rest of the staff is also very kind, and we always have a lovely time there. Highly recommended!

Our server, Mia, was lovely and food was great! We had pizza 3 & 6 and both were very tasty. Good spot if you’re looking for a mid-week evening outing.

Amazing service, 100% recommend, thank you the weighted, Jacob for making it special for me and my husband

Lunchtime today, I had the pizza. They make a great sourdough pizza. A lot of locals seem to eat there because I walked by many restaurants during this lunch time and this place was the busiest. This is not your typical pizza, the crust is thin, but it’s not crispy. I think it is probably made the way they serve it.. So my thoughts are that this is the way most people like it. I would prefer mine to be less like a soft pita bread and a little crispy. I’m not complaining about the food because it was very tasty and somewhat of an artisan pizza. I do want to comment on an added service charge. It wasn’t very much and when I received the bill, the waiter said there was a service charge and wanted to know if it was all right. It was only after I paid it that I saw closer on the bill that it was an option. I’m not complaining. I’m just explaining. I would have preferred. It being explained a little better.

Great pizza but a little uncomfortable seating

Good food venue. Very fast service

If you like wood fired pizza, you’ll love this. Such rich flavors. Also served homemade lemonade, which was a refreshing treat. Not too sour or overly sweet.

Lovely atmosphere and great food, Huge thank you to Marko absolutely legend

Thanks to Marko !!! the best waiter ✨✨ Kiss by the French girls

Marko is an excellent waiter. Smiley service on a rainy day, very needed! Food was great as always

Food was devine. Pizzas were totally worth it - blow your mind delicious. Eat in with excellent but discreet table service and still so much cheaper than most takeaway bog standard pizzas

Eat here. It’s fab. Chose here over the two other Italian chains nearby. Staff welcoming. Service attentive. The food glorious. Atmosphere just right.

Amazing pizza and the staff were so professional and kind. Can’t wait to visit again

Service was quite fast without compromising quality. Marian was very welcoming and made the experience even more enjoyable. Five stars!

It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the staff are fantastic. Thank you, Marian!

Staffs were very rude and the serving processes were extremely inefficient. They gave me overcharged bills for several times which took 40 minutes in total (only for getting the right bill). Throughout the process, staffs were extremely rude with no apologies at all (e.g. when I mentioned that the bill is incorrect, manager said "What? So what do you want?").

The pizzas are good. The pizza dough is very good. Kids menu is good value, and the pizza is not much smaller (as other places) so it is good for hungry caterpillar… The only slightly bad hing is that sometimes the base of the pizza gets too burnt.

Great food and great service! Our server Lydia was really helpful and lovely.

The man in charge is rude towards delivery drivers.. i had this bad experience while collecting the order from this store.. really pathetic and inhumane. Also I checked with my fellow riders they also had the same experience. You might be a big restaurant with lots of customers definitely you will regret soon. Never taking this restaurant delivery.

Great food and Anne was amazing :)

Tasty, quaint, fresh, and well-priced.

Marko killed it. Such a nice server. Food was great!

Franco manca was amazing, we went today and the food was amazing, definitely recommend. Also a big thank you to our waiter, Marko, who was lovely and a big help with our dietary requirements. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone with children as the atmosphere was great!!

Excellent food and good, friendly service but seating and tables reminded me of school and being a large room there was a lot of background noise.

A must visit place when in Oxford. It was super busy and packed and we were a walking for a table of two. We waited less than 5 mins and got a table as everyone was on top of their work. What do I say about the food, it’s always the best Pizzas but the service here is just incredible. In and out in 1 hour. It didn’t even feel like how busy it actually was. Kudos to the staff. They’re all doing such an amazing job.

Warm friendly staff and excellent pizza. Was quiet, so didn't have to wait for a table. Recommended

Quick , friendly service and tasty meal. Thanks to Marion and all the staff.

Great service from Marko! Lovely lunch with our daughter. Recommend pizza 3 and 5. Daughter enjoyed her Lucky Saint beer.

Young man named Marko served me, he was excellent and made my dining experience superb after a hard day. Really put a smile on my face. Delicious pizzas will definitely come soon again !

The place is great as always. Not really a lot of pizza pasta places with gluten free option, but Franco Manca is always a saver. Had a really nice lunch, Marlo helped a lot and was very kind. Highly recommended!

Very lovely restaurant, pizza was very delicious, i was served by a lovely waiter Marko, all together i recommend this place.

Very good food and great customer service from Marco!

Very wonderful day dear comment readers, The three of us had dinner today, October 23, 2024. There was pizza: 2x Pizza Margherita and 1x Pizza Ham Ricotta. They were very exquisite. The drinks were very good and tasty, and the homemade lemonade was particularly impressive. The service was very charming and friendly, unfortunately we can't remember the waiter's name. He was also very accommodating. The waiters also asked about allergens, which we have never experienced in our lives. Conclusion: It was the food of a god. P.S. We cannot be corrupted.

Pizza was undercooked. I shouldn't have eaten it and complained instead however I was to stoically British. Felt quite sick later that evening. The actual flavour of the pizza and ambience of the restaurant is all fine though just a bit disappointing really that the food was inadequate.

Amazing Pizzeria. I went with a friend for dinner on a Saturday . There was wait time of 5-10 mins depending upon the group size. There are lots of vegetarian options and some good sides. The portion size is big. We ordered pizza#10 and a side of garlic bread with mozzarella and pesto. The garlic bread was as big as a pizza ! The pizza was really delicious. The flavours complemented each other. This is place is also budget friendly. I would definitely recommend this pizzeria to everyone.
