Franco Manca Richmond is a sourdough pizzeria at 8 Red Lion Street, just off the high street and within walking distance of the riverside. Its informal service and central setting suit quick lunches, family meals and relaxed evenings.
Naturally fermented sourdough forms the base of each pizza and is cooked rapidly at high heat for a soft crust with characteristic charring. Toppings are intentionally concise, placing tomato, cheese, cured meat, vegetables and seasonal ingredients at the forefront.
The core pizza list is joined by changing specials, plant-based choices, salads, dips and small plates. This focused format allows diners to share several accompaniments or keep the visit simple with an individual pizza.
Italian-style desserts, beer, wine and alcohol-free drinks complete the menu, while collection and delivery are available as alternatives to eating in. The Richmond branch welcomes families and dogs. Guests with allergies should check current guidance and discuss flour, dairy and kitchen cross-contact with staff.
Address: 8 Red Lion Street, Richmond TW9 1RW, England
