Best pizza I had in London in 5 years. Very cheap compared to other places (still twice of what you would pay in Naples) and almost as good as the one you would eat at Sorbillo in Naples!!!

Nom nom nom- oooh so good. One of my favourite restaurants and tantalisingly good. Please make the beef special a regular and add some more drinks and desserts so I can come here more often :)

Considered as one of the best places to eat pizza in London. Located in a vibrant and exciting suburb of London this restaurant serves real authentic and delicious pizzas.
Dan WongAugust 16, 2014
Great menu that isn't too complicated (unlike how other Italian menus are...)! Go here for a good level, cheap meal. But if the queues are too long, loads of other amazing places around!

Delicious authentic pizza and great wine. A perfectly selected menu
Jack GillettSeptember 14, 2014
The pizzas are very tasty and extremely good value. We bought 4 different ones between three of us and were stuffed! The anchovy, capers and kalamata pizza was particularly good.
Javier SotoJuly 22, 2013
Probably, the best pizzas I've ever eaten in London. Little and very affordable place in Brixton Village. Don't panic! You won't be queuing more than 20 minutes.
AnnetteJuly 30, 2013
Franco Manca was superb. Affordable pizza with big portions and friendly service. I recommend the Tomato, Cured Organic Chorizo Pizza + Try the Organic Lemonade. Yum!
Callum ChapmanDecember 14, 2013
Seated immediately at 7pm. Great service, incredible pizza. Very affordable too! By time we had finished there must have been 10-15 people waiting to be seated!

The best pizza in London (seriously),with an amazing sourdough crust and simple but divine toppings. Wine is tasty, reasonably priced and organic.Take a jumper if it's chilly!
Remi LefevreApril 24, 2012
Good, simple menu with good, simple ingredients for damn good and not so simple pizzas. Wine isn't extraordinary but the espresso is almost perfect. Well worth the wait.
Evening StandardMay 14, 2012
A no-bookings policy applies but the sourdough pizzas are freshly baked and have the perfect balance between toppings and bread. Stays open until 9.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Margarita pizza with sausage topping was good- which is not on the menu. Great value!
Hasan Murat AkinciAugust 23, 2016
Simply, the best sourdough pizza in town, try (#4) w nologo pale ale. Fantastic!
Vic McGinApril 11, 2015
Fast, delicious and cheap. I could eat that base all day. Get yourself a cheeky tumbler of organic wine too.
Phoebe JohnsonNovember 12, 2016
Amazing pizza and amazing prices. Ham and mushroom is to die for.
Sarah BuddeDecember 4, 2015
The pizza was truly the best I've had this year! So good!
KaramJanuary 4, 2015
The best pizza in London, hands 👐 down. Do get there early because the wait can be long.
CeciJuly 1, 2023
Bacalhau of course. Portvine and cake. Don't pick yourself. Ask them to pick for you. Success!
Daniel KolodziejJune 15, 2017
All about the dough, obvi. Would love to see more topping options, or at least some seasonal changes.
Kim VuFebruary 9, 2015
Delicious pizza with amazing dough and striking flavours. A bit stingy on the sauce and cheese though.

Get the #2, but with buffalo mozzarella instead of regular. Sooooo good.
Tim O'DonovanApril 26, 2016
Best pizza south of the river. Friendly staff, bargain prices and delicious pizza.
Magda AdamskaJune 10, 2016
It actually might be the best pizza in London. Add garlic, it changes everything.
Edith SOctober 29, 2014
Great specials; when I visited sweet potato was a topping. Worked surprisingly well!

Great tasting cheap sour dough pizza in a lively setting. Best pizza in London!
Alvaro RodriguezAugust 3, 2013
Best pizza in London by far. Amazing sourdough base. Also so tasty vegetarian options!
AndreaApril 22, 2015
Used to be a good italian pizza, but in the last months I've only got gummy pizzas far away to what a pizza bread supposed to be. Good price remain the only good point, not sure of worth it anyway.
Gem DavisSeptember 16, 2015
Everything! You can get takeout too, which is useful to avoid the queues.
Vivienne GoulburnNovember 1, 2012
Best pizza in London, and probably well beyond. Try to go during the week to avoid the queues...
Giacomo MasonSeptember 25, 2017
Where the chain started, it's still the best branch. Can't really beat it for the price
Bradley CheshamJune 19, 2014
Top 3 Pizza's - Pre gig. They will serve you beers in line while you wait for a table.
Shannon LowJune 8, 2014
Best pizzas in London. Sourdough! And very reasonably priced too.
Miko CoffeyJune 3, 2011
I am not normally a fan of crusts but here they are delicious puffs of tasty goodness... #6 has amazing chorizo
Cate TFebruary 17, 2015
Great pizza, made even better by the price. Go at around 4pm if you hate queueing
Nathan HardbodyMay 22, 2012
Obviously the pizza is amazing but also some of the best reds i've had in a long time
Alex ButenkoJanuary 3, 2017
Delicious pizza, worth a wait in the long queue! 👌🏻
Richard GregorySeptember 2, 2010
The menu here is precise with just six pizzas available and astonishingly cheap; the most expensive pizza, with chorizo and mozzarella, costs less than £6. It really is a delight to come here. Read more
Hanna BragerOctober 20, 2014
The no tomato sauce pizza with pecorino and courgettes on sourdough, yum!
Lauren KeithDecember 22, 2012
Try a #4 and wash it down with a bottle of organic lemonade. Perfection.

Please please Franco Manca put a door something in between the last table inside and the toilet.This is really disrespectful to customers, to make them eat basically right next to a toilet!
Sara PietrelliNovember 21, 2012
The best pizza ever had outside Italy. Try the simple number 2 and you'll be delighted.
Tiago FreitasNovember 16, 2013
One of the best pizza I had in my life: pizza number 4!
Jess KellyOctober 8, 2016
Delicious. Cheap. Massive.
RosaJanuary 26, 2011
This pizza is amazing... any of the 6 in the menu. Try the organic homemade lemonade, it's as good as the pizza :)
Amy RobinsonAugust 9, 2014
Cheap delicious pizza and wine but you'll most likely have to wait.

Excellent pizza rude staff..I dont know if that bald guy is the owner but he kind of shouted me to go out and wait when I went inside to ask for a place..this is mean anywhere in the world.
Flavia LapisSeptember 22, 2012
Wonderful pizza. Every kind is amazing! Salads are also very good!
AntonioApril 3, 2017
The ingredients are very good quality but the service is so-so and I find that my pizza often comes burnt on the outside and undercooked inside.
PaigeJanuary 5, 2015
Even the simple basil and mozzarella is something to write home about
