Good for the price - Edit
I went to Franco Manca a few years ago (before going vegan) and was impressed with their pizza, so I decided to return with some friends and give their vegan options a go. I liked the feel of the restaurant - it has a nice atmosphere and cosy decor, and the staff were very friendly, but I was a bit disappointed with the menu, which was not as vegan friendly as I hoped. They have a vegan special each day and allow you to swap mozzarella for violife vegan cheese on any pizza, but beyond that there isn't a lot of choice and it wasn't completely clear which pizzas would be vegan once the cheese was swapped. I ended up going for the number 2 pizza which consisted of tomato, violife cheese and basil, and i added mushrooms as an added topping. My girlfriend went for the vegan special of the day, which had peppers and vegan mince as toppings (and she also added the mushrooms). The pizzas were tasty and fresh (and for under £10 they are really good value) but I wasn't blown away. I think having been to Purezza a few times recently I've become a bit spoilt with pizza, but Franco Manca is definitely worth a visit if you want a good pizza for a reasonable price!
