Sourdough pizza chain Franco Manca has confirmed it will be opening in Chichester later this year.

The self-proclaimed ‘sourdough pizza pioneers’ announced their latest restaurant would be opening in the former Russell and Bromley site in South Street on their website.

Part of the opening plans include a competition to grab a slice of the action with a chance to win a table on the opening night.

“We don’t overcomplicate. We don’t overprice. We don’t stuff crusts. We do sourdough pizza, as it should be.

"Our slow-rising sourdough is made on site daily. It’s blast cooked at 450°C meaning the flavour, aroma and moisture cannot escape. We top it with traditional ingredients sourced from small suppliers across Italy and the UK. Our pizzas start from £5.95, and we’ve always got daily changing specials.”

Plans submitted earlier this year sought permission for outdoor signage and trough lighting and were approved without debate on June 15.

Readers of this newspaper criticised the plans and suggested there are ‘too many pizzerias’ on South Street as it is, but others defended Franco Manco as having an ‘incredible product at a great price’.
