If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza in London, look no further than Franco Manca on Bedford Hill. This pizza place and Italian restaurant prides itself on its simple approach to pizza-making: they use only sourdough and mostly local produce to create their delicious pies.

What sets Franco Manca apart is their commitment to slow-rising sourdough, which results in a crust that's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And with an oven that reaches temperatures of 500°C (930°F), you can be sure that your pizza will be cooked to perfection every time.

But it's not just the crust that's noteworthy - the toppings are equally impressive. From classic margherita to more adventurous combinations like cured chorizo and mozzarella, there's something for everyone at Franco Manca.

And despite the high quality of their ingredients and attention to detail, Franco Manca manages to keep their prices reasonable. So if you're in the mood for some truly authentic Neapolitan pizza, head over to Bedford Hill and give Franco Manca a try. You won't be disappointed!
