“ Hands down the best value of money pizza in London (possibly in the world). It taste great too, not the absolute best, but pretty pretty good! ”
“ God. Damn. They are hands down the best. HANDS DOWN. There's really nothing much to say. Good dough good price good everything. ”
“ Maybe even more than 4 stars, but the pizza here was really quite good! My colleague in London suggested taking a walk through Brixton my last evening at our London offices back in September as I had not really been on that side of the Thames and am pretty adventurous. He also suggested coming here for dinner which I decided to take him up on that even though where Franco Manca is located has a lot of very interesting food venues which reminds me of Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles. The staff was helpful and sat me immediately. I ordered a glass of wine which was just okay. I'm not really knowledgable about wines so I guess my way through it and this one wasn't as good as others I've had. I ordered one of the more basic pies as I feel that should really be the tell-tale sign of a good pizza. The crust and dough of this pizza was truly excellent as was the cheese. The sauce lacked a bit of flavor and freshness. It wasn't a bad sauce, but I like when there's a fresh and very strong tomato taste which I didn't get eating this. After eating a full pizza, I didn't look to get a dessert and didn't even check to see if they had one. Overall, a decent pie to eat in a very peculiar area! When I arrived back to South Kensington, I noticed there was a location of Franco Manca a block away! Oh well. It was better to see a different area of London. ”
“ Pretty decent pizza. The dough was great. Which I never talk about the dough but it was worth mentioning. They accidentally put mushrooms in it which I suspect made it slightly watery. However I love mushrooms and the taste was still great. ”
“ First of all...GET THE LEMONADE. Second of all...GET THE LEMONADE. It was reallllly amazing, hard to describe but one of my favorite lemonades I've ever had. This is such a cute place. I had the margherita pizza (#2) and it was super delicious. I loved the sauce on this pizza. My husband had the margherita (#7 maybe?) with some extra toppings and it was delicious as well. I 100% recommend. This is a very affordable place, the waiters were very punctual and attentive. I would definitely come back. ”
“ Was craving for some pizza when I found this gem on yelp. Fast and friendly service in a cute little restaurant. Ordered the #2 with the homemade lemonade. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for some good pizza! ”
“ £7 for a more-than-satisfying personal pizza pie fresh out of the oven really isn't a shabby deal. Especially when it's dotted all over with two types of chorizo. (To me, it looked more like one type of chorizo and one type of pepperoni.) For an ultra-fast in-and-out in under twenty minutes kind of lunch, Franco Manca has it going on. This no-frills joint is both affordable, expedient, and satisfying. And likely only readily visitable during the weekdays, when it's less rammed. Plus, it appears to be the real deal: the lady sitting next to us who was paying as we arrived spoke with one of the servers in Italian. That seems to indicate a certain level of authenticity, in my book. ... and had I not had even -more- delicious pizza and pasta later on in the same day (yep, Italian twice in under eight hours! I'm a glutton), Franco's would absolutely deserve five glowing stars. ”
“ I'm not really a pizza person but the world, his wife, her mother and her dog have told me that this is the most ammazzing pizza place in London. I say...yea baby! I particularly liked the sourdough thin and crispy goodness. Owww weee, it works, it works, it works! I had a ricotta base rather than tomatoe sauce and you know what, that worked too! Atop my creamy fromage I had cured piggy meat, wild mushrooms, basil, more cheese and other bits of deliciousness. I think there are only about six or seven different choices on the menu, but there is the option of the specials which I believe are changed daily. You can not book and seating is limited, so go early or don't get grumpy when you have to queue for a little while. Be warned, I ordered what I thought was white wine. Emmm, in colour there was nothing white about it. I kind of looked like a murky browny yellow. About the colour of pee after a night of heavy drinking. It tasted like something that had been brewed in my grandfathers basement!* I don't know if that is the norm ( but I kinda got the impression it was), but I suggest sticking with the organic beer - that was actually really pleasant. *By this statement I am not admitting knowledge nor liability for any items that may have been brewed, grown, stored in any of my relatives basement. This is not a statement and can not be used as evidence in a court of law. ;o) ”
