Franco Manca Muswell Hill

Franco Manca Muswell Hill brings a touch of Italian warmth to North London. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, filled with the scent of baking sourdough and the gentle hum of conversation. It is a place for unhurried lunches and sociable suppers, where simplicity and flavour take centre stage.

Aperitivo begins with an ice-cold Aperol Spritz and a selection of nibbles, from olives to smoked almonds. Sourdough pizzas follow, from a classic tomato and mozzarella to a seasonal mix of roasted courgette and mushrooms. Sharing comes naturally with platters of antipasti and charcuterie, fresh salads such as caprese, and warm pizza bread brushed with rosemary and garlic. Desserts range from the elegant affogato to the playful Nutella Pizza with Biscuits.

Italian wines, beers and cider accompany cocktails like Negroni, with a splash of limoncello to finish. Relaxed and welcoming, it is a neighbourhood pizzeria made for booking a table, savouring every bite, and letting the sourdough shine.
