1. Viktoriia Vlasenko ★★★☆☆

   Visited this place the other day and got really disappointed with everything but pizza dough It all started with the starter - even on picture you can see that it has nothing to do with burrata, it looked like mozzarella and tasted like mozzarella that spent too long in a fridge. The same happened to “fresh mint” tea :-( The service was extremely slow, although max 1/3 of tables had customers - it took ages to be seated and served. I visited Franco Manca in London, but the Reading one is not even close to what I am used to. I’m hoping they will improve eventually

   Amazing food. Some of the best pizza I’ve ever tried. Staff are extremely polite and pleasant. Really made you feel at home. The cheesecake was also amazing

   I like Franco Manca for the original dough they have, and the pizza itself is reasonably priced. I wish the ingredients on the pizza were more evenly spread, as it is tiresome to chew the dough on its own. I wish there was slightly more of the ingredients as well, as there was hardly any ricotta on my pizza no. 4. I am, however, disappointed with the price of the starter... a little piece of bread with a ball of mozzarella is almost as expensive as the pizza! And it is really nothing special... I am not sure if the 10% service charge added to your bill goes to staff as they were nice, but seemed to be a little bit bored (there were only about 4 or 5 tables with guests so really wasn't busy).

   Nice pizza, great service they ask you about allergies. 4 stars because the Parimigano was made with tinned tomatoes and the cheese was not enough on the dish. The aubergines were undercooked as well. Definitely not ordering that again.

   Even though the service this time was very slow the manager compensated us with complimentary pizzas which was so kind she didn’t have to! As regulars we always get fast, efficient and friendly service, I think it was a one off. The food is always lovely and reasonably priced! We always return back for a quick dinner or lunch.

   Delicious authentic pizza, would recommend! Lovely atmosphere too. They say the chicken and lamb sausages are halal, which are also used on the pizza so do enquire. Wonderful service at the beginning, very on-the-ball, but became slower and inattentive later on - we had to go up to the front to ask for the bill after waiting 20 minutes. Choc and hazelnut cake was lovely, however the mint tea was undrinkable as the water smelt oddly like rotten eggs and the leaves hadn't brewed at all.
