Franco Manca, London - 17/5/14

Y'all know how I feel about Franco Manca. For ~new readers~ who didn't get to read my last post concerning this dope ass pizza chain, maybe you will wanna have a lil look see here (lmao #web #blogging #content). Maybe you won't. You probably won't. 

Anyway ja so this time I strayed from Brixton Market which is the only Franco Manca branch I've visited before, and went to the Broadway Market one. We got the same pizza as last time, just this time without cheese as well as without anchovies. We got it to take out and even though it was a very busy Saturday the service was nice and quick which was obvi appreciated. The pizza as a whole was pretty great, although I definitely could have gone for a few more olives if I can be real with you.

The sauce brought its A game as usual (it's sort of garlicky and for that, I love it more than many of my blood relatives), and the thin thin thin base was chewy and delicious like always, although because we got takeaway we sort of just had to rip it apart with our hands. I like to handle a good, healthy slice of pizza, so that was kinda annoying but obviously this is a v minor niggle - I am literally picking the tiniest faults ever because there are very few bad things you can say about this pizza. Franco Manca's business is pizza, and business is fucking delicious. 

'YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, PIZZA!!!' (it's ok I hate myself so you don't have to)

Pizza rating - 8/10

Franco Manca, London - 28/03/14

if u know about pizza, u know that Franco Manca is the total fucking tits. If this pizza was a person, it would be in the year above and you'd stare at it walking past your Maths classroom and even though it would never even look at you, you'd still jerk off to it fifteen times when you got home anyway. That's how good this pizza is. You will never be as good as this pizza. Know that.

But the difference between the unattainable deity in Upper Sixth and this pizza is that you actually get to put your mouth on this pizza because it is actually not a person, and is in fact a circle of baked dough with stuff on it. I am not a religious woman, but for that, I thank God.

So yeah anyway Franco Manca. The one in the photo/the only one in the chain I have ever visited is the Brixton Market one, but I think they have about seven restaurants in London. I like the atmosphere there quite a lot, but the only downside is that if you sit outside on like, the main market concourse bit, the pizza gets cold quicker. So if you get a choice of where to sit, go inside. TOP TIP.

me enjoying my Franco Manca experience :-)

I want to talk about how this pizza tastes but I feel like it needs sonnets written about it to really do it justice. But I cannot be arsed to write a sonnet so I will just write some other normal things about it instead. The dough is rrrrrrllllllly soft and delicious. Usually I am about a crispier pizza but this is an exception. It's sort of hard to cut though, if you care about practicalities. The sauce and cheese are both great and also taste really fresh which is obviously cool. On this occasion, I ordered pizza number 5 on their menu, which describes it as being topped with "tomato, garlic, oregano, capers, olives, anchovies and mozzarella" (I had it without anchovies though because a) they are gross and b) I am a herbivore) and all of those toppings were delicious. I was especially into the olives which were v salty, v tasty.

To be real w u, this pizza was the dopest but you can't rly expect anything less from Franco Manca. I also just want to mention real quick that this pizza cost me less than £7 so whilst also being literally one of the best things I've ever eaten it's also really inexpensive and you should definitely eat it too. Also also, if you are a vegan, you can get the pizza without cheese which I am told is really good. Everyone wins. Also also also, get the fresh lemonade to accompany ur pizza because it's off the chain. Ignore how much it looks like piss.

Pizza rating: 9/10
(loses a point because my pizza got cold p quick on this visit)
