The food was excellent, but our meal was considerably spoilt by a group rearranging tables, making a lot of noise next to us. The 4 children we using iPads and phones which were so loud it meant we ha... See more

Great food and service. Matthew was really welcoming and helpful.
Just called the Birmingham restaurant…
Just called the Birmingham restaurant (31st Jan 1045) - dreadful service. Was looking to book a table of 8 for this evening the lady offered a couple of time options neither of which were suitable, I asked what capacity she did have for the time requested which she advised then said 'ok bye'. Sorry, why such an abrupt end to the conversation - am I missing something!? This was just one example of the poor service received, I asked who I complain to she noted she was the manager, I asked who else I could speak to in the company to which she replied she 'cannot give out that information'. No worries, our custom will go elsewhere, on this occasion and in the future!

very nice pizza but after I dined I kept getting emails with booking links trying to get me to book another table there and then
found it very pushy
Franca Manca Brighton. EPIC AS ALWAYS
Another outstanding meal at Franca Manca Brighton. 
Max was utterly charming and attentive as out waiter, bringing water for our dog. 
Lovely to see Maria the Manager again whos built such an incredible rapport with us and our sons over the years  She's always got a smile and welcoming chat, running her socks off to keep the Brighton Branch running like clockwork. 
The staff in the Angel branch are nice
The staff in the Angel branch are nice. Always end up coming where when we want a nice meal out. Pizza is good and isn’t too expensive
Went to Franco Manca
Went to Franco Manca, 16 North Street, Bishops Stortford this evening. Isabel was our waitress, she was very friendly and attentive during our 18th birthday meal with Granddaughter and family. The meal and evening was successful and most enjoyable. The pizzas were all freshly made to order and there was a wide and mouthwatering options to choose from.
Pensioners stopped by security guard from entering
We had the most utterly bizarre experience here on the 5th Dec. My wife and I were stopped at the door by the security guard saying they were only taking people with reservations. Luckily, against the advice of the friend we were meeting, we had made a reservation online (the organisational anxiety of old age pensioners kicking in!). Our 40ish year old friend was already there (not having had the secret service treatment to get in!). The guard reluctantly let us in. Here's the bizarre part: the place was completely empty, and I mean completely! The restaurant is pretty large and we were the only people there. We were joined shortly afterwards my another 40ish year old friend who got in with no questions. I'm struggling to understand that. Weird! Ageism?
Pizzas were good BTW
Impossible to register for the discount…
Impossible to register for the discount and even after a huge struggle to find the app it will not log in and keeps waiting and it's annoying but they keep promoting pizza for £5. Which is a lie and I ended up paying £15.day time rubbery in putney High Street Franco manca
I understand it is cold in Jan
I understand it is cold in Jan, but at least cut the pizza, so it can be consumed fairly quickly, before it needs to go back to the oven, also enable customer service, i have no idea how to contact you directly

Visited Franco Manca in hove on New Year’s Day and the staff were so lovely and sweet to us, having worked in hospitality myself I know stressful big holidays can be but the staff were so professional and kind absolutely could not recommend more and the food as always was amazing
Really good
Really good, quick food, recently discovered them and have enjoyed every visit. Would give 5 stars if they added a wafer or something to their ice cream, just to feel like you were getting a bit more for uour money. Definitely recommend the hazelnut cske!
Useless customer service
Useless customer service. I’ve sent 4 emails now across almost two weeks about an issue and no reply to any of them. Disgusting service
Order #8126 tonight
Order #8126 tonight - Franco Mafia Manca
Got caught in a lie - ‘we sent you cold food because the delivery company didn’t pick up (they did) a sent half our order cold - someone else’s unsold pizza - blamed the delivery company, blames us , anyone but them  - didn’t apologise - after complaint sent a derisory sum….
Make these thieves give our full order value to a homeless charity. We will match that sum and look forward to meeting the thieves as we do so in person. #atleastthemafiaarehonestaboutstealingthefoodfeomyourchildensmouths 
Needs A Few Tweaks
Six of us visited the King Street restaurant in Manchester on a Thursday evening. It was busy, but not full.
I started with a couple of ‘bites’ - the pesto chicken with sliced potatoes was nice and very tasty. The mozzarella and prosciutto board was a decent size, but really quite bland and tasteless. Like it was straight out of a supermarket plastic wrapper.
I then had sourdough Ham and Mushroom pizza, which tasted ok but looked as though it was seriously ill - pale, undercooked and cold and sloppy in the middle. My friend also ordered a pepperoni pizza - his was overcooked and burned down one side. Does your pizza oven need looking at maybe, or did we just get the trainee chef?
I also ordered a side salad with olives etc… the ingredients were nice and fresh and the salad leaves were crisp, but the oil used for the dressing (or the sun dried tomatoes) was musty, bitter and old and ruined the flavour completely.
The Montepulciano wine was probably ok, but I couldn’t taste it as it was so cold. When I asked for the two unopened bottles to be replaced with warmer, room temperature versions, I was told they were the last two bottles on the premises. Hmmm… really?
The atmosphere was ok and I know its the time of noisy Christmas office parties, but the table next to us were really loud, to the point where they were even singing football chants and banging the tables with their fists. None of the staff asked them to be quieter and by this time we couldn’t be bothered complaining.
The service was quick and efficient and the staff were very pleasant.
I won’t be coming back here though and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody - which is a shame because when the food was prepared properly, it was really quite nice.
Fantastic service and even better food!

Delivered cold via a deliveroo cyclist.
Yul Brynner had more hair on his head than there were toppings on their pizza.
Rubbery tough & tasteless.
Won't be buying from there again.
Really great pizza at decent price
Really great pizza at decent price. I had the bites starters and the meat platter which were a bit underwhelming. But the pizza was perfect!
Good food & lovely service from Lucy !
