Franco Manca - Brixton's finest pizza

One of London's best pizza joints has to be Franco Manca. It can be found in bustling Brixton Market and on a busy day when the market is jam packed, it is a great place to head to for a delicious, affordable and atmospheric lunch.

Waking up on Saturday morning and craving pizza, we leapt out of bed, called our friends and agreed to meet up at FM to tuck into their margheritas, neopolitans and chorrizo pizzas.

Open since 2008 and having drawn a dedicated crowd of pizza lovers since, Franco Manca is known for its fresh produce (British where possible), sough dough pizza bases and reasonable prices. You can sit inside the restaurant, but if you're a dog lover then it's best to nestle yourselves under the tables just outside. That way you can soak up the energy of lively Brixton market too - if you ask me, that's a win.
