Not good value for money. FRANKLY MANKY Like SO MANY REVIEWS HERE -mine was burnt on the base. Stupid me - should've read the reviews and saved my money.

Only pizzas and very little choice at that. Fancy descriptions for 10 pizzas on the menu. Plus a chalk board with "the days specials" though I doubt they are renewed.

Mine said "Wild mushrooms, fresh basil". 3 limp, at least a day old leaves. Burnt base, extra thin and soggy. No choice of style of pizza. Probably because, like a MacDonalds, it's all cooking by numbers.

I ordered the Amatriciana pizza and asked them to make it spicy. It came with tomato, onion, cured pork cheek, mozzarella, crispy pancetta, pecorino, and basil—and it was fantastic.

It’s a great size for when you’re properly hungry without feeling over the top.

I stop at Franco Manca often when I’m in London because it’s consistently good, fair-priced, and satisfying. This location lived up to that standard. Would...
