Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Franco Manca is like the pizza whisperer of Covent Garden. The sourdough crust is a work of art, and if you’re looking for the perfect pie, you’ve hit the jackpot. The margarita is pure bliss, and even the vegan options stand tall against the competition. The staff are generally friendly, making for a pleasant experience, but don’t get too comfy – service can slow down when they’re busy.
However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; you might encounter some inconsistencies in the dishes. The tiramisu appears to be a bit of a flop, and not everyone’s experience matches the hype. But for pizza lovers, it’s a solid choice that’s worth the visit. Just don’t try to order a salad – this is a pizza joint, not a rabbit's retreat.
"All the flavours blended beautifully, the base was done to perfection."
"Excellent pizza, service was a bit slow but isn’t a major problem."
"The waitress is the best."
