Franco Manca Broadway Market

You're walking down Broadway Market on a Saturday afternoon, the neighbourhood thrumming with market stalls and vintage shops, when the smell of wood-fired dough pulls you in. Franco Manca's here doing what they do best: taking their 72-hour sourdough seriously. The pizzas are thin, crispy, and loaded with proper toppings—not overpriced nonsense, but genuinely good ingredients. It's the kind of place where you're happy to queue because you can see through the open kitchen what you're waiting for. Hackney's always been about this: somewhere between earnest and unpretentious, where chefs actually care but won't bang on about it.
