Franco Manca Edinburgh - St. Andrews

Hey there, pizza lovers!

Ever found yourself wandering around Edinburgh's St. Andrews Square, craving a slice of heaven? Well, let me tell you, Franco Manca is your new best friend. You might be wondering, "What's so special about this place?" Let's dive in, shall we?

So, who's Franco, anyway?

Franco Manca, or 'Franco's slice' in Italian, is the brainchild of a guy named Bruno. He started this pizza party back in 1987, using a 200-year-old sourdough recipe. Can you believe that? It's like they've been perfecting their pizza game since before your grandma was born!

But what makes their pizzas so darn special?

First off, they use organic, slow-proved sourdough for their bases. It's like they're giving their dough a spa day, letting it relax and rise for 24 hours. Then, they top it off with the finest, freshest ingredients they can get their hands on. It's like they're saying, "Hold my beer, I'm about to make the best pizza you've ever had."

And get this - they even make their own mozzarella! Yes, you heard it right. They're like the pizza version of a one-man band, doing it all themselves. It's like they're saying, "We're not just making pizza, we're making a statement."

But what about the vibe, you ask?

Now, don't go expecting some fancy, stuffy joint. Franco Manca is more like your cool, laid-back friend who just happens to make amazing pizza. It's got a rustic, industrial vibe, with exposed brick walls and wooden tables. It's like they're saying, "We're chill, we're casual, and we're all about the pizza."

And the best part? They've got a lovely little terrace where you can sit and soak up the sun (if we ever see it in Edinburgh, that is). It's like they're saying, "Al fresco dining? Yes, please!"

But what about the price, you worry?

Here's where it gets even better. Their pizzas are so affordable, you'll be wondering if they've made a mistake. But no, they're just that cool. It's like they're saying, "Great pizza doesn't have to break the bank."
