Franco Manca Belsize Park is a sourdough pizzeria at 216 Haverstock Hill. The relaxed dining room brings the group’s straightforward Italian approach to this north London neighbourhood, with tables for quick lunches, family meals and casual evenings.
The pizzas begin with naturally fermented sourdough and are cooked rapidly at high temperature, producing a soft, lightly charred crust. Toppings are kept focused, allowing tomato, cheese, cured meats, vegetables and seasonal ingredients to remain distinct.
Alongside established combinations, the menu includes changing specials and plant-based choices, as well as salads, small plates and dips. That compact structure makes sharing easy and gives diners room to add a starter or side without turning the meal into a formal occasion.
Italian-style desserts, beer, wine and alcohol-free drinks round out the visit, while takeaway and delivery offer alternatives to eating in. Families are welcome. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should consult the current allergen information and discuss flour, dairy and kitchen cross-contact with staff.
Address: 216 Haverstock Hill, Belsize Park, London NW3 2AE, England
