Serves meat, vegan options available. UK chain of pizzerias est. 1986 in Brixton Market as a stand alone shop by Franco who later sold the business to his friends who named the shop "Franco Manca" (Italian for “Franco is missing”) as an homage to the founder. Makes sourdough pizza from slow-rising dough, which are baked in a wood-fired oven. One pizza is vegan by default; may pay for additional toppings such as spinach, artichokes, and plant-based cheese. Also has rotating vegan specials. Other vegan menu items are olives, pizza bread, and dessert sorbet. Open Mon-Thu 12:00-22:30, Fri-Sat 12:00-23:00, Sun 12:00-22:00.

My favourite pizza! - Edit
Would give 5 stars if Happy Cow allowed it!🙄 We absolutely love Franco Manca. Their sourdough pizza is unbeatable, and very well priced. We like the plain #1 with simple tomato, garlic and basil topping, but they offer vegan cheese and plenty of other options. The Soho branch is cosy and we had a lovely dinner there. Service was good and fast. Will definitely return.

Not bad - dependable and flexible - Edit
Vegans are fully catered for - you can swap toppings out for vegan alternatives (our server didn’t charge for this despite it saying vegan cheese was extra). There’s also a vegan special pizza that changes seasonally. It’s not Purezza, but it’s good enough and dependable when you have non-vegans in your party.
