    The staff were friendly and welcomed us to our table. We had kids with us and usually the service is good but we had to ask for the kids menu after being there for 10 minutes. The kids menu was bought over and then we had to ask for pencils. Asked for some water but they forgot to bring some so we had to ask again and it wasn't very busy on a Monday night. We like coming here but the service has definitely been better.

    Service was good, but they must have messed up our order. Tables that were seated after us got their pizza before us! And when ours came after long wait it was extremely undercooked.

    Food was nice. Service very average. No cooler for white wine and waitress clearly not interested. Felt like fast food - not really what we expected for location.

    Great service and delicious food. I think on balance I prefer the traditional crispy thin base. These are sour dough bases which are a little soggy.

    So good that we keep going back. Parents have been, mum and daughter have been, grandparents taking grandkids and together as a whole family. Lunchtime, evening and as takeaway and it’s so good that we keep returning. Also, they are great at catering for gluten free family members, the gluten free pizza is the best we have ever found to date!

    I had booked to go to Franco Manca with my boyfriend on Valentine's Day and our reservation unfortunately due to a power cut. The lady I spoke to on the phone kindly offered my boyfriend and myself to come in in the next few days and enjoy a free pizza for the inconvenience. We did, and it was lovely, so much so that my boyfriend went there the very next day with his mum for lunch. They do have great lunch deals too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Nice food; we happened to be dining at 3.30pm so ambience was unsurprisingly a bit lacking. Nice lamb pizza. Simple food that we had- well delivered, and not expensive.

    Haven't been before but very impressed with the quality and value for money. Delicious pizzas and hardworking staff. Just a thought, proper wine glasses be nice and a wine cooler.

    3.5/10

    This appeared to have the best score on Tripadvisor for pizzas in Cheltenham. It looked ok through the window when we visited the day before. The menu looked a bit thin, but ok. So I booked. It turned out to be the worst pizza we have ever had. Soggy and tasting actually bad. No real alternatives either. The service was slow and they forgot my son's drink, the extra topping and the salads we ordered. The wine was sour and they tried to charge extra for the tomato base! It was disgusting! The only reasonable thing was they didn't charge me (£70!!) when I complained. Do not Go here!

    Lovely pizzas, service was great. We weren’t impressed with the wine selection. Also the choice of glasses for serving G&T’s and wine, were like school tumblers.

    A nice restaurant with fab sourdough pizzas. Staff were friendly and service was good. Only niggle is there are no wine glasses so you drink your wine from small water tumblers. Also no way of keeping wine or rose wine cold at the table.

    First time at this restaurant both for me and my female companion. She required a gluten-free meal which was provided and was thoroughly enjoyed. I believe that a gluten free pizza base is not easy to make. The waitresses were young, friendly and attentive. My friend had a birthday recently so she was given cake and ice-cream free of charge. Highly recommended.
