I recently dined at Franco Manca, and I must say, the experience was absolutely fantastic. The food was nothing short of perfection—the sourdough pizza was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with every bite bursting with authentic Italian taste. The menu offered a great variety of options, catering to every palate. What truly set the experience apart was the staff. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. Their passion for the food and their commitment to providing excellent service really shone through. Franco Manca is a gem of a restaurant that offers not just amazing food but also a friendly and inviting atmosphere. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back soon! Ela 😁

Service was absolutely amazing! The food was incredible and the entire experience was overall incredible. I would 100% recommend to anyone who enjoys pizza. They serve wonderful Neapolitan pizza. I had the #10 and it was delicious! The atmosphere was a bit loud for me, but if you enjoy a busy atmosphere you will love this place. I didn’t manage to catch the name of the young man who served us this evening but he was so kind and lively. All of the staff were amazing but he definitely stood out. 10/10

Our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Food came quickly and it was delicious. Chicken salad was a little unusual but in a positive way, loved it. Dietary restrictions were met well with the Basil being removed from the pizza. Very good restaurant in Peterborough, would recommend!

My pizza just arrived from just eat, it was cold, the pizza was so greasy that I’m not eating anymore, I was so hungry and managed to keep 1 slice down me without throwing up. That has to be the worst pizza I’ve had for years and years, I paid just short of £18 for this pizza and it’s just eat delivery fee. Never ever ordering from here again, so so disappointed with what I’ve just had delivered.

Fantastic place to eat. Food was amazing and kids under 12 eat free getting a pizza the same size as adults. Watching it made fresh with homemade juice and lemonade was great. Kids menus with activity also for a decent total price. Would definitely be going back 🎉

My partner and I went in on a Thursday evening after a work event so it was quite quiet but that was no problem. The service from Anthony and Mellissa was amazing - quick, attentive, and great positivity. The Christmas menu is great value at £25. We shared the starter and dessert and topped it up with a second pizza which was plenty for two - so 4 courses for ~£40 total. The tiramisu was fine, but the pizzas and starter (nduja & mozzarella starter, No4 and veggie special pizzas) were fantastic.

Today was not only my first time in a France Manco but was also my first time trying sourdough! I have to say France Manco blew my expectations out of the park. I am so happy with the level of service and quality of food we received. Their chorizo pizza was delicious. And the dough perfectly cooked. The crusts were like dough balls so perfectly cooked!

The food overall was quite nice, I had a simple margarita pizza, in which the simple flavour profiles all complimented each other; I ordered the garlic dip which was a little too creamy for my liking, the chilli oil on the otherhand complimented the pizza quite well. I had Vlada as my server, she had an overall amazing service; comming from an individual with years of experience as a waiter myself; having a perfect balance of professionalism and being on the casual side, making me and the other diner feel very satisfied with the service.

Whats a horrible experience! Me and the wife got to the restaurant at 4pm on a Saturday we were greeted fine and shown to our table. However we must of waited 10 minutes before anyone came to us even though there was only a handful full of people in there so wasn t busy!So we ordered drinks and food together. Food and drink came out quickly However we order 3 dips to go with the pizzas but we didnt receive them and to be honest we had forgotten about them untillhalf way through the food. When the bill came I ask the waitress to take the dips of the bill as we hadnt had them the waitress didnt understand and said she had taken them off even though the bill said otherwise. She went off for another 10 mins then all of a sudden the manager came over and realised we hadnt had a good time and said the meal was free!he was a really nice guy apologied for his poor staff. Pizza was decent though. We wont go there again

Not comparable to Franco Manca in Brixton at all. Now its just another bad chain. Double the cost and half the ingredients, including the dough which is stretched to the point of being chewy paper. Base is so thin its basically a crepe. Little to no toppings, despite being extremely thin the crust was also completely raw on the inside. Overly chewy.

★★★★★

Came in for a quick lunch the other day and it was lovely. We were seated straight away and made to feel very welcome.

Best gluten free pizza bases Ive ever had. Very accommodating at switching toppings for vegan requirements. Would be great if they offered a gluten free milk for coffee (oat milk available for non GF) and a GF vegan dessert, not just ice cream or sorbet. Very friendly team, especially Melissa, who is attentive, accommodating and very happy to check ingredients for allergies or intolerances with a friendly smile. All too often restaurants make you feel like a nuisance, but not Melissa.

The food was satisfactory, the prices reasonable, and the cleanliness met standard expectations. However, I was taken aback to find that a tip had been automatically included in the bill.

Lovely staff, the manager always looking out for us as we bring children so he makes sure we are comfortable and have space for pram etc, baby changing is always clean and tidy. Pizza is great! Nat was our waitress and she s been so lovely even though our little one spilt his drink. Vegetarian options: There s a few vegetarian/vegan options but also they are happy to make adjustments and remove/swap ingredients to make it suitable for vegetarians. Kid-friendliness: Baby changing is always clean and tidy and they have colouring at the tables for kids to use. Very accommodating and lovely even if our children spill something. They don t make you feel like an inconvenience for having kids like some places do.

The service provided was unsatisfactory. The server did not pay attention to our order and attempted to fulfill it from memory, subsequently forgetting to provide my side salad. The pizza was mediocre and lacked an adequate amount of toppings. Additionally, the base of the pizza was slightly burnt. Furthermore, no staff member approached our table to inquire about the quality of our meal, which is a fundamental aspect of customer service in the catering industry.

Shady runs a great restaurant, serving Franco Mancas lovely pizzas, which excel because of the quality of the ingredients. Forget pepperoni - this is the real deal with delicious toppings. And try the No Logo beers. Theyre great

This pizza place in Peterborough is truly the best. We have visited ten times already and each time, it feels like we are transported to Italy. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and inviting, and the pizza on thin crust is amazing. They use authentic Italian ingredients, and their homemade lemonade is refreshing and delicious. And dont even get me started on the tiramisu - its heavenly! Please, never change a thing about this place!

Franco Manca, oh what a gem you are in the heart of our bustling city! A mere mention of your name brings a smile to my face, not just for the delectable delicacies that you serve, but also for the camaraderie you extend to us, the ubiquitous Uber Eats cyclists. From the moment I pedal my way into your vicinity, I cant help but be drawn in by the inviting aroma wafting out of your doorway. Its like a symphony of scents, each note a testament to the culinary expertise hidden behind those walls. But, dear Franco Manca, your allure doesnt just stop at satiating the senses of your patrons, does it? You, with your thoughtful design and conscientious consideration, have managed to embrace us, the delivery staff, in your warm fold. Your pick-up point, smartly positioned right at the entrance, is a testament to your commitment to us. No unnecessary navigation through bustling tables or dodging hurried waitstaff; just a straight path to the heart of your operation. And then theres the stools. Ah, those stools! Quite simply, theyre a revelation. In a world where were often overlooked and expected to make do, youve given us a much-needed perch. The floor? No, not at Franco Manca. Here, we have a place for our bags, a place that recognises the weight we carry and the miles we cover. Looking at you, Franco Manca, I see more than just a restaurant. I see a beacon of food safety, of customer care, and of respect for everyone involved in the process. Your commitment to these values shines brightly in your food, your service, and your consideration for us, the delivery cyclists. In my rides across the city, Ive seen many eateries, but none quite like you. You, Franco Manca, are not just a pickup point. Youre a pit stop that fuels not just the bodies of the hungry populace, but also the spirits of us, who pedal tirelessly to bridge the gap between your culinary wonders and the awaiting feast-goers. So heres to you, Franco Manca. May your dough continue to rise and your pizzas continue to delight. And may you always remain a place that understands, respects, and caters to those of us on two wheels. Your commitment to us and to the food you serve is a testament to the power of thoughtful, conscientious hospitality.

The positives; staff are lovely and polite, service was quite efficient, really really reasonable prices for food The cons; tables are tiny and for two people it still felt like there was no room on the table, added to that some of the tables feel like an afterthought and attempt to squash more customers in as we were practically right next to the toilets and if the child sat behind me moved her chair ever so slightly she would know mine so a little close for comfort, limited availability on the menu - our first couple of drinks we asked for were unavailable and some of the main ingredients of the pizzas were also not available. Just felt a little lacklustre overall, and it s always going to be disappointing when the choices you have made and then even your back up choice can t be served to you. Promising restaurant, cheap prices and more of a family restaurant than anything else but just need to sort a couple of things out.

Great Experience at Franco Manca Peterborough - 5 Stars We had a really good time at Franco Manca in Peterborough. As soon as we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming. Our waitress, Jess, was really helpful. We initially sat outside but found the music from the town square too loud. Jess quickly moved us to a quieter table indoors, making our experience much better. The food was top-notch. What I love about the pizza is its always cooked fresh in an open kitchen, and the taste is genuinely unique. You wont find pizza like this anywhere else. What you cant eat, you can take home as they happily give you a box to pack up your leftovers so theres no waste. We have been several times now and it never disappoints. Well definitely be back. Highly recommended!

I always eat here as the staff and chefs are top quality and by far are the best pizzas in town, however on my last visit the manager made a cameo appearance in the kitchen and was making the pizzas for us and I must say he has completely raised the bar which was already very high!! Who wouldve thought the manager had been hiding these great pizza making skills. Big shout out to Shady for the top notch pizzas. Cant have been luck as he made two for us and both were consistent! Look forward to next time!

We came to Franco Manca in Peterborough which is an Italian restaurant that was very casual. I opted to have salad while my partner and our friends ordered pizza it looked freshly made and it was delicious. Good value too and its right by Queensgate shopping centre. I thought the food was very tasty and the staff here were lovely and helped us decide what was best for our needs.

Melissa and Shady provided wonderful service! Wanted to say a massive thank you to Melissa and Shady for the wonderful service they provided. We were welcomed by them with a huge smile. Really great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable about all the ingredients. I suffer from food intolerances, and they were very accommodating to that. Service was quick as well, the food was ready after a few minutes. I ordered a beef ragu pizza, and my partner ordered a burrata pizza with mushrooms and extra porchetta. Both 10/10 !!! Definitely the best pizza in town, I would recommend this place to everyone! Thank you again :)

just nipped in for a late light lunch, waitress did not mind one bit we just wanted to share one between us, she was super helpful and polite and I would employ her in my shop she was a credit to her employer. Unusal selection of toppings to chose from but nice to have a different selection. The only thing that let it down was that the drinks were awful, ale and wine were not nice at all but food was good will go again when next in the area
