A SOURDOUGH pizza chain is opening a new restaurant next month.

Franco Manca is opening its new branch in Church Road, Hove, on September 5 and is celebrating with a special deal for customers.

It is offering 50 per cent off all pizzas and salads from the menu between Monday, September 5 to Thursday 8.

The pizzeria is also offering the chance for customers to win one of ten tables for two diners on the house, by registering their interest on the Franco Manca website.

The new location will be Franco Manca’s second site in the city after opening a site in Regent Street, Brighton, in 2016.
