We had the smoked beef pizza and black truffle burrata pizza —both were insanely good. No regrets, just pure pizza happiness! And wow...one bite and you just get that real Neapolitan pizza vibe . The truffle burrata pizza has a rich truffle aroma and a creamy, milky burrata flavor. The Italian smoked beef pizza has a generous amount of beef, delivering a rich, savory flavor, but the rocket leaves add a refreshing balance. The sourdough base is something else—chewy, crispy on the outside, soft inside. So different from regular pizza, and honestly? I’m obsessed. The homemade orange juice is refreshingly sweet and tangy. The restaurant has a great atmosphere—cozy and comforting, and the service is really nice too. Definitely coming back!

Incredible Napoli style pizza with a chewy base and a selection of amazing sauces such as pesto, caccio e peppe, garlic and great Prosecco. Work highly recommend due to the lovely local atmosphere that feels like a homely evening. Very cosy restaurant and great service. Grazie Mille.

Traveling a lot I like to try the Italian pizzerias around the world to check out the quality of the dough and ingredients. This one made it to the top 3 outside Italy. The staff is friendly and has no signs of stress nor bad mood. In the pizza menu definitely a must try is #9 and the traditional #2. I felt like being at home in Italy once I stepped in. To be clear, real Italy, not like the one in the movies or romance stories… Easy, genuine and simple.

My parents visited from Belgium for Easter and we were looking for a cute,quiet and kid-friendly place to have a pizza and a drink. The best decision to go here as the pizza was amazing, very quick service from Andreea and Alexandra, they both got involved into playing with my 4yo son. Teresa was very professional and made us feel very welcomed. The chef made the best pizza.

I had a solo lunch choosing this restaurant as I had visited their Chichester branch and loved the taste of their sourdough organic pizza. I was made to feel very welcome and wasn't rushed at all. The service was excellent. I chose the veggie special pizza which was very tasty. The homemade lemonade was refreshing. I finished with an refreshing afagata nicely served separately so I could mix it myself.

My favourite pizza chain delivers consistently good service and food across all the various locations I've tried in England and the Southampton branch did not disappoint. Nice bonus for this location is the view on the old city walls. Furthermore, it was my first time trying the pistachio Nutella pizza and it was so indulgent! There was a little error on our final bill but luckily I always double check and the staff amended it very quickly. Recommended!

Lovely place to eat. We visited Saturday mid-afternoon, sat outside with the view of the Bargate walls, while having what was probably the nicest pizza I've ever had. The No Logo Larger is really tasty too. Will be back very soon!

I recently stopped for dinner at Franco Manca Southampton while they were running their incredible 5 pizza offer in January. The restaurant was packed and fully booked inside, but although it was January, we opted to sit outside under the heaters which was surprisingly warm. The food was excellent as always, with everything fresh and full of flavour. I love their vegetarian sharing board to start, which has so many delicious elements. For my main course, I chose the Italian smoked beef and mozzarella pizza, which was absolutely incredible. The service was friendly and attentive, and with the deal, the value was astounding. Franco Manca is my favourite chain, as they seem to genuinely care about flavour and good food compared to others.
