Franco Manca We don’t overcomplicate. We don’t overprice. We don’t stuff crusts. We do sourdough pizza. Welcome to sourdough pizza, as it should be.

Our pizza is made on site, daily, from slow-rising sourdough in an oven which produces a heat of about 500°c (930°F). The slow-quick process means the flavour, aroma and moisture cannot escape and that we never keep you waiting.

Who’s ordering boo-rata this weekend? Nothing scarier than not having pizza 👻

A lot goes into something this simple 🍕

Inspired by Napoli. Made fresh daily in our kitchens. Dough with a 24-hour rise, honest ingredients and pizzaioli that know what they’re doing.

Manchester, we’ve got a lot going on 🍕❤️

From proper sourdough pizza and award winning teams to drag queen-hosted masterclasses, a kids’ entertainment spot and a world map to pin where you’re from!

And it’s not just about the pizza. Our teams are big on giving back. This Christmas, they’re also planning a gift-giving tree with Wood Street Mission to help make Christmas a bit brighter for local kids 🎁

Two pizzerias, great people and plenty of pizza. What’s not to love? Ciao!
