Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the draw, with reviewers praising the sourdough base as the perfect thickness, never doughy or heavy, and calling the pizzas soft, crispy and huge. The Cinque Formaggi earns particular praise for its blend of Italian cheeses, and one regular calls the gluten-free pizza light and crisp, saying the quality never slips. Close behind are the staff, described as friendly and welcoming, and the generous portions. Reviewers also single out the bruschetta, a butternut squash and arugula salad, the tiramisu, the cheesecake, the cappuccino and the orange wine. One reviewer says the garlic dips are huge and suggests sharing one. On the downside, one diner mentions a service fee, another feels there are more affordable pizza places around Manchester, and one had to buy olives to get an outdoor seat for just a drink, though the staff were accommodating. One couple with a puppy were seated in a corner so it could rest under the table, and another party received a complimentary Aperol Spritz for booking the Christmas menu.

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Franco! The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was full of flavor. A special thanks to Chef Chathuranga for preparing such amazing food. You can really tell the care and passion that goes into every meal. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and outstanding cuisine. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“We visited Franco Manca on King Street and I have to say, their gluten‑free pizza is absolutely outstanding. As someone who usually struggles to find gluten‑free options that taste genuinely great, this place has become my go‑to spot. The base is light, crisp, and full of flavour — nothing like the heavy, dry versions you find elsewhere. The toppings are always fresh and perfectly balanced, and the staff make every visit feel welcoming. I’ve been back again and again because the quality never slips. It’s rare to find a restaurant that gets gluten‑free pizza this right, but Franco Manca delivers every single time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants proper flavour without compromising on dietary needs.”

“So working in a different office today and found this place. Only took 5 minutes from ordering to leaving. Pizza was lovely too. Took it back to the office and sat on the roof in the (intermittent) sunshine.”
