Franco Manca Belsize Park - London

The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday night, but we were seated within 10 minutes and the staff were very friendly. There were limited vegan options, but I really enjoyed the amazing pizza dough at Franco Manca. My pizza had some unmelted cheese and vegetable toppings, and I was able to swap the olives for artichokes for free, which was a nice touch. My friend decided to add mixed peppers to her toppings, but it cost £2.50 extra. Unfortunately, her pizza was burned and she couldn't eat the crusts. The drinks selection was limited, so two of us ended up ordering three cokes because we were unsure about the other options like ciders, beers, or cocktails. The staff were attentive with refilling our water, but we had to ask for three carafes. It was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the waiters. Google Maps incorrectly stated that the restaurant was a 25-minute walk from the female pond in Hampstead Heath, which was not true. The outdoor seating area looked lovely, but it was full so we sat inside. The restaurant is conveniently located near a bus stop and underground station.

The restaurant is cozy, but busy on weekdays. The staff is friendly and went out of their way to reduce our wait time by opening up additional tables. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available for the summer months. The food was served promptly, and the pizza was of excellent quality and delicious. Overall, the experience was very positive.

They were extremely busy on a Sunday evening, but we were seated within 10 minutes and the staff was very friendly. The vegan options were limited, but I absolutely love Franco Manca's pizza dough, it's amazing. My pizza had unmelted cheese and some minced potatoes. I was able to swap the olives for artichokes for free, which was a nice touch. My friend added mixed paprika to her pizza along with beets, which cost her £2.50. Her pizza was slightly burnt and she couldn't eat the crusts. The drink options were limited, so two of us opted for three cokes as the other choices were random ciders, beers, or cocktails. The staff was very attentive with the water refills, but we had to ask for it three times. It was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the waiters. Google Maps said it was a 25-minute walk from Hampstead Heath, but it was actually much further. There is no signal in the park which was frustrating. They have a lovely outdoor seating area, but unfortunately there was no space so we sat inside. The bus stop and underground station are conveniently located right outside.

Franco manga is a value for money! safe is its not the best pizza, but in the term of the relationship eating / money its great! I also enjoyed the room... really nice!

Great value, surprisingly cheap for the most delicious pizzas, it is like again in italien. they use fresh bufala and ingredients in their pizzas. my only niggly is asking, maybe to extend her starter menu even a simple antipasti board?! and they don't serve espresso?
