Edinburgh’s Franco Manca pizzeria is the perfect pit stop for wandering around the beautiful, historic city. The location is amazing too, being just off main shopping destination Princes Street and just across the road from mainline Waverly Station for links to London and more.
The restaurant is surrounded by great shops; the area is bustling and buzzing with energy. For more cultural sights, there’s the gothic Scott Monument, the awe-inspiring old town, and plenty more streets and alleyways to meander your way down.
From the National Museum to the Queen’s Street Gardens, you couldn’t pick a better pizzeria to rest your weary selves and recuperate with a hot slice of delicious sourdough pizza made in the traditional Neapolitan way.
For the more adventurous, you could grab a pie to go and eat it atop the stunning Calton Hill for some major views with your dinner, or just relax at the restaurant when you get down. The area has so much to offer whether you’re in the mood for some culture or some good ole retail therapy, and Franco Manca is always ready with a fresh batch of sourdough to go.
The signature slow-rise dough is proved for a minimum of 20 hours to create the ultimate tangy flavour and chewy, yet crunchy texture. The ovens are heated to 500 degrees for a 40 second bake. What could be better than amazing sourdough that bakes under a minute? The toppings probably, which level up the pizzas in so many ways. The fascinating combinations of fantastic ingredients, cooked up the chefs, are well-sourced from regions all over Italy, and counties in the UK.
The restaurant operates on a first come, first served basis. What are you waiting for? Get yourselves to St. Andrew Square ASAP for a great pizza experience to rival all other chains.
