Franco Manca Bermondsey

You'll find yourself on Bermondsey Street, one of SE1's best stretches, and Franco Manca slots in perfectly alongside the galleries and independent shops. The vibe here is deliberately unpretentious—you're queuing at a counter, ordering by number, eating at communal tables or perching at the window if you're lucky. What sets this place apart is the obsessive approach to their sourdough: long fermentation, proper technique, ingredients that actually matter. It's the kind of pizza that tastes better than it looks, which is saying something when it looks pretty good already.
