Franco Manca - Aldwych

Situated in the heart of Covent Garden, Franco Manca’s Catherine Street branch is a go-to spot for theatre-goers, tourists, and locals alike. This vibrant area, famous for its historic markets, street performers, and world-class theatres, is a fantastic place to explore with your dog before stopping for a delicious meal.

Located just a short walk from the Lyceum Theatre, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and the bustling Covent Garden Piazza, this Franco Manca branch is a great pre-theatre or post-shopping dining spot. The restaurant welcomes dogs inside, making it one of the few pet-friendly places in the area where you can enjoy authentic Neapolitan pizza.

The atmosphere inside is lively yet laid-back, with plenty of seating and a friendly team always happy to make sure dogs and their owners are comfortable. The menu sticks to Franco Manca’s winning formula: slow-rising sourdough bases, simple but high-quality ingredients, and bold flavours. Whether you opt for a classic Tomato and Mozzarella pizza, a more indulgent Burrata and Prosciutto option, or a spicy Chorizo-topped creation, you’re guaranteed a fantastic meal.

For drinks, guests can choose from organic wines, Italian beers, and refreshing homemade lemonades. The location is also ideal for those who want a quick but satisfying bite before heading to a West End show.

Covent Garden is one of London’s most popular destinations, with its beautiful piazza, street musicians, and luxury boutiques. Whether you’re visiting for a theatre night, shopping, or just soaking in the atmosphere, Franco Manca Catherine Street offers a warm, dog-friendly place to relax and enjoy some of the city’s best sourdough pizza.
