The pizzas are amazing, full of flavour and great quality ingredients. Only gripe is that the table was wonky and a little cramped.

We had our work Christmas party here, and we were so impressed with how they handled a group of almost 60 people! The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was outstanding. They managed such a large group effortlessly, and every single staff member was fantastic—so friendly, efficient, and attentive. The atmosphere was amazing, and everyone had a great time. We genuinely couldn’t find a single thing to fault. Franco Manca is definitely a top recommendation for larger groups. We had so much fun that we’re already considering coming back for next year’s party! Thank you for making it such a memorable evening.

We booked on line for this restaurant prior to our stay in Manchester. It was only 10-15 minutes walk from our Piccadilly hotel. Lovely welcome and seated promptly. Time to peruse the menu and place our orders. We both had the salami pizza - which was huge and beautiful dough. First visit to a Franco Manca and won't be our last.

The best pizza dough I’ve ever had, and I used to work at a wood fired pizza restaurant. I cannot fault the food at all! It was SOOOO GOOD! Staff were lovely and knowledgable, the menu had a good variety of options. The only negative would be that the table water they gave us was warm and I didn’t drink it, maybe storing it in the fridge would be a better option? But besides that, absolutely amazing and would recommend. I’ll definitely be back!

Booked here for a pre gig pizza. As usual the pizza was great but the staff were outstanding last night. Really helpful and personable. They made us feel welcome and as if nothing was too much trouble. I've always enjoyed dining at Franco Manca. I think the pizzas are great quality, certainly for a chain, but last night was made that bit more special with the lovely staff in attendance. If you're reading this Franco Manca bosses it was your Piccadilly Manchester branch on Saturday 7th December.

Pizzas were ok, service was terrible, tables too small for the plates and slipped all over the marble or marble effect tops. Was an awkward dining experience and after trying to order a coffee and get the bill we had to leave and pay at the door! Not usually one to leave bad reviews, but waiting nearly 20 mins to not place our desert order knowing exactly what we wanted and or not getting for the bill after requesting it. Seemed Ludacris

We came to celebrate a birthday in a group of 13. I wish I could give service a 6 out of 5 as we experienced the best service *ever*. Simon was so amazing, he was super helpful, kind, fun and understanding. We brought a cake that he very kindly put in the fridge and helped us cut and at the end, when we were paying, he kindly waited for everyone to calculate their own share (which you can imagine takes a while with 13 people). Our party also had an individual with a nut allergy and he very carefully took care of them. THANK YOU SIMON, you are absolutely amazing!!! <3

Took a friend out for dinner for his birthday here. It was surprisingly quiet, but the food and the service were both excellent. I highly recommend the salami pizza! They are very considerate of a nut allergy too. The only minor downside is the pizza came uncut, so a pizza wheel would have been helpful. Otherwise it was perfect. 10/10

Terrific family meal. There's a lot of great pizza in Manchester - and this place is as good as any of them. Didn't have to wait for a table, which is common at the other venues. Server Elle was a superstar and particularly great with our toddler. Italian smoked beef was 10/10.

Fantastic pizza and starters! However, once we had finished eating and the plates had been cleared, the staff came immediately over brought the bill and card machine (without request). I was having a nice chat at my table and asked if they could come back in 5 minutes or so (when we had finished our drinks etc) and the waiting staff did it again within a few mins. The only criticism is the staff, wait for customers to ask for the bill before hurrying them to leave. We went on Sunday lunchtime / afternoon and it wasn’t busy and they didn’t need the table, for other customers so why rush paying customers out the door?

Went in for pizza, have heard good things. Food prep /waiter guy served an adjacent table and upon requests adjusted the table to stop rocking. In doing so touched the table foot and the floor. Returned to his station and immediately started directly handling the next customer's food. Don't wash hands, no gloves. On observation he was directly touching at least some part of every dish. Provided feedback to front of house staff member who spoke to him. He shrugged, carried on and didn't wash hands or use gloves the entire time we were in there. So both hygiene and management issues there. Pizza was ok, nothing special so not sure what all the raving reviews are based on. Told them to halve the service charge to reflect, but the waitress couldn't do the maths so removed it all together. Their loss. Won’t be using this chain again, far too many better alternatives.

From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone in our group felt looked after. Her warm and friendly demeanour really set the tone for the night. We did the paint and dinner activity on a Thursday, and it was such a blast! Anisa was fantastic in helping us navigate through the evening, making sure everything went smoothly, and adding those little extra touches that made the birthday celebration feel special. If you're planning an event or just a night out, I highly recommend visiting Franco Manca and asking for Anisa.
