Franco Manca Belsize Park 216 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 2AE

"Been coming here for quite some time now. Great for lunch or a snazzy dinner if you fancy some sourdough pizza."

"Pizzas are highly rated but for me they were OK, though pizza base is better than average. The service was fine. Unfortunately we visited on a Saturday afternoon - not the place to eat if you want to avoid screaming kids."

"We decided to go to Franco Manca for dinner last week as it looked wuite nice from outside and the menu was appealing. Starting with positives: Very clean restaurant. Someone disinfected fridges and worktops whilst we were there. Pizza was tasty, prices were completely justified. Having said this: Everything felt rushed. The first staff member who took the orders seemed more interested in chatting with what seemed her friends on the other table. Eventually someone (tattooed - just mentioning so, you know who you are) came at the end askin about any additions we'd like and brought the bill. He was very friendly and seemed to enjoy it being there, which didn't seemed to be the case by the look of the others reactions. But unfortunately the all over athmosphere was cool and not really welcoming. Would we go back? Possibly not."

"Good food and amazing staff. What makes this place special is the fresh bread which is present in both the starter and the pizza. I personally found most flavours too mild but I'm sure plenty of people would enjoy it. The taste for me only comes to 3 stars (had to drown my pizza in chilli oil as the toppings were quite sparse excluding the cheese of which there is a positive abundance but again mild in flavour), but the fresh soft bread and kind staff are 5 star worthy."
