Serves meat, vegan options available.

They finally got vegan cheese - Edit
Consistent pizza, always super tasty soft stretchy base, decent tomato sauce and bang average vegan cheese. I had a margarita and it was good, a lemonade that wasn’t for me-so super sweet! And no dessert this time. Service was rapid but it was a very quiet Wednesday lunchtime.

Excellent pizzas - Edit
Of all the omni pizza places, Franco Manca does some of the best ones. The garlic bread and homemade lemonade are really good too.

Pizzalicious - Edit
Great for a fresh sourdough pizza. Always a selection of seasonal vegetables. Staff understand vegan. And sometimes the chef is creative, my favourite time being the Halloween 'butternut sqash sauce'. Mmmhm.

Pros: The dough, Quality of veggies

Very Specific Food for Specific people - Edit
The service is bit slow and more functional.
Read moreI got served a wine - which was mixed with water. Since I took the same wine after next door, and yes it was diluted.
The pizza is got requires a specific type of taste: the sourdough is sqanchy, thick: though freshly made, not my type of pizza. I tried this twice.
The dessert is not impressive; it looked like someone just learned how to make cake for the first time.
Pros: good options of my vegan and vegetarian , price is reasonable , fresh vegetables
Cons: I mean service? , mixed wine / not much flavor -applies to pizza too, sourdough not everyone likes this (dry and fatty)

Tasty vegan pizza - Edit
Really enjoyed my pizza - it was something a bit different and had vegan cheese too. Nice atmosphere, and the staff were helpful. I'd come back.

terrible vegan pizza - Edit
They do a vegan pizza (tomato base and oregano - no vegan cheese). Someone had told me it was good - it isn’t. It tasted really bitter - I had to complain to Deliveroo and get a partial refund. I feel they don’t make any effort for vegans - there are a lot of other places that do. I will go there in future until Franco Manca up their game.
