“Pizza was great! Service was friendly. Atmosphere is pretty special as well. Old school vibes. Highly recommend!”

“Perfect tavern style pizza! I brought one to my son in Iowa and she bakes it at home.”

“I have so many good things to say about this restaurant. Classic 70s interior and atmosphere! Love the classical hits always playing such as frank sinatra. I love the pizza. It’s the most perfect Chicago tavern style pizza ever.”

“This is such a warm, cozy place with great food and service.”

“Top notch Chicago style pizza, perfectly nailing the trademark cracker thin crust and sweet tomato sauce that very few other places in the area can do. Cozy interior in a beautiful brick building. Deserves all the attention it can get.”

“Fantastic, old-school pizza joint. Sausage and crust made in-house. Family-owned neighborhood staple, and the pizza was incredible. Will definitely be back.”

“The garlic is perfect size for a pizza. Really good pizza. Thin crust pepperoni sausage and garlic. Came in a bag.”

“The BEST pizza 🍕I’ve had in a long time. Perfection. Met the owner Dennis, who’s a great guy. And crazy lifelong story. Loved chatting with him. We will be back!”

“One of the best thin crust pizza’s in the Chi! The owner is a stand up guy…everyone there is great n they treat you like family which I appreciate.”

“This is a delivery order. Used Door Dash. Purchased The Weeknd Special. 16” single topping pizza, 6 wings & 1-liter of pop. $40.95…$51.95 with tax & tip. This pizza is the best because the crust is my kinda crust. Thin & crispy! I ordered a pepperoni pizza 🍕. It was delicious! Wings weren’t bad either. All in all, I’ll order from Frank’s again!”

“72 years in business Frank’s pizzeria & restaurant doesn’t need my review. Literally tried this pizzeria for the first time tonight. The pizza was absolutely outstanding. If you want that crisp cracker crust this is the place for you. From when you walk in the door, you’re in a blast from the past, old school Italian. Lucy, our server was amazing so friendly very attentive. They don’t serve alcohol BYOB. And I love that they have RC cola with pizza, the Best!! They just go together. If you look on their outdoor sign at Frank’s pizzeria, it still has alphabets on the phone number. How cool is that. I’m guessing that sign is the original sign. That’s been there 72 years. This place is really a neighborhood gem. Would I go back absolutely I can’t believe I let all these years go by without trying it.”
