• At Franco Manca, pizza is more than food - it’s a craft. Our sourdough is slow‑rising and made fresh every day, our ingredients are seasonal and sourced from trusted suppliers, and every pizza is cooked to perfection in our traditional wood‑fired ovens. We’re all about keeping it simple, authentic, and delicious. But what really makes us special is our team – passionate, hardworking, and always up for a laugh. If you’re ready to roll dough, fire up the oven, and be part of something amazing, we’d love to have you on board.
