“ The chicken salad was fantastic and fresh with a generous portion. Service was really friendly with Luca and Lirim being very helpful with the kids. Everyone else had pizzas and were happy with everything. ”
“ My partner and I came in a few weeks ago on a Thursday evening. We experienced great customer service from a waitress, she came to check up on us multiple times and was very welcoming! Unfortunately we didn't catch her name and we wanted to leave a nice review but we came on the 16th of January at around 7:30 PM! ”
“ My pizza was shockingly quick. It was served with smile and best manners. I ordered pizza nbr 9 with smoked beef, grana wild rocket and capars. Beef quality. I loved every bite of it. Worth to go and try. Another good memory on the food map. ”
“ Great pizza, as always.Yummy cheesecake ”
“ I love coming here with my family on Fridays as it is always a treat. The staff are friendly and the pizza is always delicious. My kids always get the children’s meals which are a very reasonable price, as the pizzas are almost the same size as mine! The place is sometimes a bit crowded but we never have to wait more than ten minutes to go in. Will definitely keep coming here! ”

Each topping is carefully chosen, a quiet celebration of balance and restraint. Here, amidst the hum of humanity, the pizza becomes more than food.

“ it was my first time physically dining at a franco manca branch and had such a lovely experience! great service with a smile and laugh despite them being very busy with takeaway pizzas because of the great weather. the branch had a huge board of specials of the week which included ones for vegans and vegetarians which caught my eye but properly struggle to make a decision on what to get. finally made a decision and got a #10 and my friend got a #7 and we were both dancing with delight in our seats over our pizzas. will definitely be back again! ”
