New Season, New Flavours: Franco Manca’s Autumn Menu Has Arrived
There’s something special about this time of year - cooler evenings, cosy dinners, and that craving for food made with care. At Franco Manca, we’re celebrating the season with a line-up of new dishes that bring together authentic Italian flavours, seasonal ingredients, and a few playful twists on tradition. From bold new sourdough pizzas to hearty bites and fresh salads, our autumn menu is all about warmth, flavour and a touch of nostalgia.
Kick Thing Off With A New Bite for Autumn: Truffle Cheese Fonduta
Nothing says autumn comfort like melted cheese, and our new Truffle Cheese Fonduta is here to deliver just that. Rich, creamy, and infused with fragrant truffle oil, this indulgent dish is the perfect warm bite to share (or not) on a chilly day. Dip it with toasted sourdough, and you’ve got your new go-to combo.
Meet the Tre Porcellini Pizza – The Three Little Pigs, Italian Style
Once upon a time, there were three little pigs… and now, there’s the Tre Porcellini Pizza — a story told through flavour. Inspired by the classic tale, this pizza celebrates Italy’s best-loved pork ingredients: crispy pancetta, Tuscan sausage, and fiery ’nduja. The result? A rich, savoury, and slightly spicy combination that’s every bit as comforting as it is indulgent.
It’s a pizza that proves simple ingredients, done right, can tell a delicious story and has been shortlisted for the UK’s best pizza at the National Pizza Awards! Wolf approved.
Ragu Napoletano Pizza – A Family Recipe from Naples
Nothing says comfort quite like a slow-cooked Italian ragu, and our Ragu Napoletano Pizza brings that tradition straight to your table. Based on an old family recipe, this pizza pairs a slow-simmered Neapolitan-style beef shin ragu with our signature sourdough base. Every bite is a reminder of why Italian cooking is best when it’s made with patience, passion, and love.
Fresh New Salads with Italian Flair
We know pizza might be the star of the show, but our new salads deserve their own spotlight. Each one is built around mixed grains, seasonal vegetables, and new dressings that pack serious flavour, like our Green Goddess and Calabrian Pepper. They’re fresh, vibrant, and the perfect balance to our heartier autumn dishes.
Sweet News: The Nutella Pizzetta Just Got Better
Our beloved Nutella Pizzetta is back with a twist. It’s now finished with a crumbled Biscoff topping, adding an extra layer of crunch and caramelised sweetness to our soft, warm sourdough base. A sweet ending that’s impossible to resist.
