Franco is missing but his spirit is not
Franco Manca means Franco is missing. For now he is. But he will be back. During these uncertain times, we can still channel Franco's spirit. The art on our walls has always been a big part of our experience. Our pizzerias feature the work of the late Enzo Apicella and Paul Davis, an artist and the creator of our Franco Manca logo. When we reopen our pizzerias we need your help with some new artwork for our walls.
