Franco Manca Greenwich

Sourdough Sensation with Stellar Service

On a sunny afternoon in Greenwich, I found myself visiting Franco Manca, lured by whispers of unparalleled pizza. The space welcomes guests with the distinct aroma of freshly baked sourdough mingling melodiously with top-notch ingredients—an orchestra of scents defining this culinary Overture. The staff, particularly the vibrant Joshi and attentive Victoria, infused the air with genuine warmth, attending brilliantly to diners while managing bustling tables and convivial crowds. Franco Manca champions authenticity, delivering pizzas that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some I've affectionately devoured across Italy.

Sourdough enthusiasts will relish their crisp yet chewy bases, each bite offering the slightest tease of fermented tang—a whisper that leaves you yearning for more. The Spicy Salami, adorned with caramelised onions and a hint of heat from chilli oil, illustrates that genius often lies in simplicity. My brunch companions and I joyously experimented as we shared plates; a generous vegetarian board paved the way for flavorsome pizzas. Affordability marries beautifully with quality here, making it a fine stop whether you're a fervent gastronomist or casual grazing gourmand. What might have been a mere casual lunch became a charming dance where flavorful authenticity waltzes harmoniously with impeccable service—truly an amphitheater of delightful dining. — Clarissa Cuisinier
