Italian pizza brand, Franco Manca has confirmed two restaurants set to open this year.
The company has secured one site in Covent Garden, due to open in late July, and one location in Earl’s Court, expected to open in early October.
The group, which was founded in 2008 by Giuseppe Mascoli, will operate a total of 15 branches across London after these openings.
Franco Manca's pizza is made from slow-rising sourdough (minimum 20 hours) and is baked in a wood burning 'Tufae' brick oven made on site by specialised artisans from Naples.
Pizzas are numbered rather than titled and include Number 3: Courgette, basil, mozzarella, percorino & buffalo ricotta, and Number 4: Gloucester Old Spot, mozzarella, buffalo ricotta & wild mushrooms.
