What people say
Franco Manca, located on Upper Street in London, is a must-visit for pizza lovers. This Italian restaurant and pizza place prides itself on its simple yet delicious approach to pizza making. They use slow-rising sourdough to make their pizzas, which are cooked in an oven that produces a heat of about 500°C (930°F). The result is a perfectly cooked pizza with a crispy crust and soft, chewy center.
What sets Franco Manca apart from other pizza places is their commitment to quality ingredients and traditional methods. Their pizzas are made on-site daily, ensuring that each one is fresh and bursting with flavor. They don't overcomplicate things by adding too many toppings or stuffing the crusts - they let the sourdough do the talking.
The slow-quick process used by Franco Manca means that the flavor, aroma, and moisture of the pizza cannot escape. This ensures that every bite is packed with flavor and texture. And despite the slow-rising dough process, they never keep you waiting - your piping hot pizza will be ready in no time.
Overall, Franco Manca offers sourdough pizza as it should be - simple yet delicious. If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with some of the best pizzas in town, then look no further than Franco Manca on Upper Street.
