FRANCO MANCA

Franco Manca is a casual spot where sourdough pizzas take center stage. The crust is chewy and perfectly charred, but don’t get too excited—some people think it’s just your average pizza joint. Staff like Wishnu are friendly, and the vibe is relaxed, but don’t expect culinary fireworks. If you’re here, you might as well dig into the veggie toppings, but steer clear of the tiramisu unless you fancy a dessert that looks like it’s had a tragic last-minute exit from the kitchen.

You’ll find a decent selection, and prices are reasonable—around £12-13 for a pizza—but be warned: when you read 'thin crust', they really mean it. If you’re expecting a mouthful of dough, you might want to stick to something else. It’s safe and clean, but let’s just say it’s not winning any culinary awards anytime soon.
