We don’t know who first introduced the practice of the FREE pizza giveaway, but whoever it was, we’re not complaining!

Franco Manca joins this honorable tradition when its latest branch pitches up in Kings Cross. To celebrate the launch it’s giving away100 FREE pizzas at lunchtime on opening day.

Word of advice: try to get there promptly. The Guardian office is only a  stone’s throw away so there’ll be some stiff competition for seats.

Thurs 5th Oct, from 12pm: 100 FREE pizzas
Franco Manca, 62-68 York Way, N1 9AG
