Franco Manca Brixton on Postcard

"Franco Manca is one of the daddies as far as Neapolitan-style pizza in London is concerned, and their original restaurant in Brixton Arcade is where it all started. Coming here is like travelling back in time, kind of like visiting a retro arcade, or going outside the M25. The inside of the restaurant has a huge oven that keeps the place warm, and turns out excellent pizzas with top quality, classic toppings like wild mushrooms and buffalo ricotta. Whatever you order, you can’t go wrong, and it’s perfect for a casual hang or pre-lash eats. photo credit: Rob Greig" - David Paw

"This little pizzeria is nestled within Brixton Village market and attracts people from far and wide to taste their famous authentic sourdough pizzas. Each lovingly made with only organic ingredients, fired in a traditional wood oven and great specials board. Be prepared to queue, the wait is worth it!" - Eley Kishimoto

Not much atmosphere as we went at a very quiet time. As a meat-eater, not a wide range of toppings. If you like vegetables, you'll probably be happier. But the food we had was all excellent. Pizza base was delicious and the pizza, salad and other food was all excellent. Will definitely be going again. The waiter helped me chose as I'm a bit fussy! And love the new location and restaurant. Thank you Brixton.

Absolutely love this pizza, always fresh and delicious. The menu often changes with new items so it's perfect for those who love to experience new flavours. Staff is very kind and helpful as well, definitely my favourite local pizza parlour!

Pizza was good but NOT cooked. The dessert ( chocolate and halzenut cake) amazing!! Not too sweet but intense in flavour. THANKS the lovely staff. Waiters were very caring and kind! Prices on average.

The original, and the best! The closest anyone has come to the best Neapolitan pizza outside of Naples. This is where Franco Manca started, and it is always amazing! Top tip: instead of ordering a starter, just have two pizzas! Vegans like me are well catered for (and the simplest Pizza here is MEGA CHEAP!)

This new (ish) branch of Franca Manca is great. Firstly the way they’ve designed the space and kept the exposed brick and layout is lovely. Tonight we were a large table and looked after by an amazing member of the team called Ines, she couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful. This is the 3rd week we’ve been there and will be back again next week. Great work by the manager and the team! Tonight I got to meet the manager too called Dante who was equally as lovely. Thanks to all of them, great work guys.

This is a late review, having attended the Pizzeria in April. Franco Manca is a chain of decent pizzerias and the Brixon branch is no exception. The staff is extra friendly, the toilets are clean and the ambience close to a traditional pizzeria and not too fancy. An eatery where the emphasis is on good fares more than on decor. The pizza is modelled on the Neapolitan type, thin crunchy crust quickly cooked and a sensible topping, not too traditional, yet not over-risky modern. There are vegan choices, but not in the desserts' selection. The beer is local and highly potable. I chose the Franco Manca special and was pleasantly surprised by the abundant brisaola and Parmesan topping. Definitely a good bistro, to spend an evening with friends.

My daughter has a severe gluten allergy, and we were very grateful for the care and attention provided by our lovely waitress, Dante. Despite being gluten-free, the pizza was delicious. We truly appreciate the efforts of Franco Manca in catering to our dietary needs !!

Excellent service and food.....as always. We popped in for a quick meal after my son's concert - 45 mins before closing. Service was pronto, pizzas perfect and little things like student discounts quickly dealt with as billing time.
