Our favourite pizzeria to go to. Franco Manca offers wood oven baked sourdough pizzas in an authentic Italian atmosphere. All of the staff are Italian and incredibly welcoming. They also do takeaway (collection only) and seated dining. They are incredibly popular during the tennis and expand their seating area along the pavement outside.
