Sherry and I had been out and about all day; so we just couldn't get on a bus or underground train again to get some food. Then we saw Franco on Yelp for pizza. It was a short walk in Marble Arch. Franco was Sherry's grandfathers's name so it was a good sign.
We saw the bright pizza sign in the window and knew we were there We walked into this large pub style place and saw a single gentleman sitting at the bar. The rest, crickets.
Yet, we had a great time with our host, a young, friendly, talented pizza maker from Scotland.
We got one pepperoni and one meat pie. We had been under-enthused by most food since we arrived but Franco had it going on.
The crust was thin, crisp on the bottom and a nice chewy crust. The sauce was tangy and the cheese smooth. The toppings were good and more than enough. They served the pizza with two oils - a garlic oil and a hot pepper oil. Both were great.
We had a chance to talk to our new Scottish friend too. It was a nice pleasantly surprising night.
Franco is a nice Italian pizza option in a predominantly middle eastern food neighborhood.
Thanks fro being there! read more
