    Franco Manca is hidden in the maze that is Brixton market. Upon finding it, we joined the queue that ended up being a 10 minute wait (which was fine). It did seem to take a while though because we could see all the delicious looking pizzas being served and started to salivate. I was a bit dubious about it being next to one of the fish places in the market but it was unnoticeable through the lovely smells coming out of franco manca.

    The menu is simple, 6 different pizzas, a red and a white wine, 1 type of beer or home-made lemonade.
    I couldn't resist going for number 5 with cured organic chorizo (from brindisa) and mozzarella and the lemonade. The base was slightly charred and perfectly crisp, just how I like it! You could tell that the fillings are better quality but I was bit disappointed at how little there was on the pizza. I'd definitely have given them 5 stars if they fill the pizzas up a bit more.

    All in all, an excellent addition to the fantastic eateries already in Brixton.

    I really want to go here but they're only open at lunch times aren't they? I would imagine that it's crazy on a Saturday, I should just go.

    Yeah I think they're only open for lunch. I wouldn't let the fact that it's a Saturday stop you though. To be fair, it's busy every lunch-time! There's always the takeaway option aswell.

    God that pizza looks absolutely delicious and the sound of the pizza with cured organic chorizo has just awakened my appetite into a screaming beast!
