Franco Manca's App Hack: £5 Sourdough Pizza Deal

Franco Manca's just quietly made their sourdough pizzas accessible again. New app users get a £5 pizza on signup, that's a proper discount when their standard menu's now pushing £7.95. The real move, though? Stack six pizzas and the seventh's free. No voucher codes, no awkward conversations. Just download, check in, and you're sorted.

What you get

A sourdough pizza made fresh daily, starting at £5 for new app users (standard menu £7.95). The Margherita's the benchmark, 100% Italian tomato, proper mozzarella, basil. You're looking at Franco Manca locations across London: the original in Brixton Market, SW9 8PS is the obvious starting point, but there's a full list in the app. Each pizza gets you one stamp. Seven stamps and your next pizza's free. Dine-in, takeaway, delivery, all count. No booking needed.

How to get it

1. Download the Franco Manca app (iOS, Android, or web). Takes two minutes. 2. Sign up as a new user. You'll get one free stamp instantly. 3. Order your first pizza and check in via QR code on the receipt (dine-in) or per order (takeaway/delivery). That's your second stamp. 4. Invite a mate through the app, you both get an extra stamp plus a free drink. You're now at four stamps after one pizza. 5. Five more pizzas and your seventh is completely free.

Students get a faster route: link UNiDAYS and you'll rack up four stamps on your first order instead of one.

What the TikTok didn't mention

• The stamp limit: You can only claim one stamp per person per pizza. So if you're ordering for four people, everyone gets one stamp each, you can't just order four pizzas and stack them all to yourself. It's designed to stop people gaming it, which is fair.
• Best time to go: Lunch slots are quieter than dinner. You'll actually get a table without the 45-minute wait. Pizza's the same price whether it's noon or 8pm.
• What to actually order: The Margherita at a fiver is the deal. The buffalo mozzarella upgrade is £3.15–£3.95 extra, worth it once you've got a few stamps to burn, not on your first visit. Gluten-free base costs £2.45 more. Vegan cheese £2.85 extra. Skip the upgrades until you're cycling through the free pizzas.

The catch

You need to check in every single time via the app, there's no automatic tracking. Forget to scan the QR code and you don't get your stamp, even if you've paid. Also, it's genuinely one stamp per person per order. If you're a solo diner smashing six pizzas in one sitting, that works. If you're splitting a pizza with someone, you're not doubling your stamps. It's honest design, but it's worth knowing.

Franco Manca's made sourdough pizza actually affordable again if you've got the app and you're willing to commit to the place.
