I had an amazing pizza at
Franco Manca's recently-opened restaurant on Northcote Road. It's been over a year since I was first astounded by their pizza in Brixton, and I was thoroughly pleased to be reminded of their incredible sourdough pizza.
I chose one topped with tomato, courgettes, buffalo ricotta, pecorino and basil. The dough had a great texture, soft and chewy with a distinctive sourdough taste, and the toppings were wonderfully fresh and flavoursome. It has got to be the best pizza around ...
... and no wonder with the beast of an oven lurking in the kitchen. Made in Naples, this wood-fired brick oven cooks pizzas in under a minute at about 500ºC!
The restaurant, no surprise, was absolutely packed and buzzing with people. I look forward to returning, perhaps to get a takeaway and run home!
