Tried this restaurant based on all the positive reviews it received on Yelp saying how amazing the pizza was and how it was some of the best people have tried in Italy. We've been here for 2 weeks and have had pizza at 8 different locations throughout Italy prior to this and this was by far the worst. The crust was thin, crunchy, had no flavor (except the burnt sections). The sauce was minimal and lacked flavor and the cheese also lacked flavor. All in all was very bland. I know service at restaurants in Italy is different than America as they tend to just wait on you to call them for something but this service was really sub par. Waiter stopped by twice the entire time we were there. To take our original order and deliver pizza. There's no way wed ever recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting. read more

Great restaurant! Great pizza!! Moderately priced, with plenty of open seating during the winter months. Ordered a pizza for 2 people and I almost ate the entire pizza by myself read more

Our driver, who was a local of Sorrento, recommended Da Franco. We had been underwhelmed with Italian pizza in our past visit to Italy, but Da Franco knocked it out of the park! It has a total pizza parlor vibe with a great mix of tourists and locals. We came at the beginning of tourist season, and were fortunate to get a seat quickly. Server was not the friendliest, but it's a pizza joint, who cares! We enjoyed the "Quattro Stagioni" it is basically 4 pizzas in one. Great for wanting to get a taste of them all! It was plenty for my husband and I to share and be satisfied. I had water and my hubby enjoyed an ice cold Peroni. If you want some good pizza in Italy, definitely head to Da Franco!!! read more

The pizza here is banging!!! Quite possibly the best pizza in the whole world! The place is packed, with both locals and tourists because everyone knows how good it is. Our favorite was the Diavola (mozzarella, tomato, salami and chili). The others were delicious too. They have some fun combinations as well, such as potato and sausage. We saw some folks order calzones and salami platters that looked amazing. No visit to Sorrento is complete without Da Franco pizza! read more

Best pizza!! It's been a few years, and I still remember how delicious it was!! Try the prosciutto and arugula!! Amazing!!

If you want authentic, home made pizza in Italy, this is where you need to go. The pizza is so fresh and exactly what I pictured having in Italy. We had previously tried 3 different pizza places in Rome that were nothing special. The only reason why I have 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. 2 tables that say after us ordered and got their food before we even ordered. Food is 5 stars and the service is not so great. We will probably eat here again before we leave! read more

I don not understand.... We arrived in Sorrento and headed straight to Da Franck's for our first meal after reading such good reviews. We ordered the single person margherita, which could've filled us both up, and the Sorrento style salad with anchovies. The salad was very poorly constructed, and the pizza was nothing special. It's crust was a bit chewy for my taste. We didn't leave feeling satisfied, and everything was quite expensive for the quality of food we received. read more

Delicious, quick service, great food, easy to find, great quality!!!!! Pizza is on a thin base with freshly chopped hame, cheese and tomatoes! read more

Quite good pizza and mediocre service. I ordered a one-person pizza which has been split into 4 sections. Each topped with different things. Pizza was quite good nothing extraordinary. What I didn't like was that they do not use real plates and cutlery. Everything was plastic and is being thrown away after first use. Also when I wanted to use the toilet the floor was being moped. I do understand that it is quite annoying if someone wants to use the toilet if you are not finished cleaning but you don't have to be so extremely pissed about it. read more

This is my favorite pizza place in Sorrento. Our AirBnB host recommended it and we were hooked. The pizzas are light and crisp with fresh toppings. If you like prosciutto​ on your pizza, well, you're in luck because their prosciutto is amazing. We got pizza from here a few times during our week in Sorrento. My only slight, minor complaint was that the olives on the pizzas have pits and I was careless and bit into a pit. Da Franco's is very popular, especially, when the tourists have flooded the city, so expect a wait. It's worth it though. If you can get your pizza to go, that may be a good option. read more

It's hands down the best pizza place in town. There is a saying that you shouldn't eat pizza in sorrento and go to their neighboring town in Naples, but this place was super fresh and delicious. The key is to order the simple ingredients-- basil, mozzarella and tomato. No frills. Super delicious oven baked pizza. Their calzone is also just as good for those who want another option, but I would highly recommend the pizza. I ordered a small and it was massive as well and it's super well priced (8-9 euros) read more

Such good pizza!! The single size is huge and they had a gluten free crust. Amazing tasting pizza with great service on top of it. Definitely recommend! read more

This a great stop for a tasty lunch or late night snack. The pizza is not mind-blowing, but it is very good. It does have a very flavorful oil that tops it's crust that you can only get from a legit place like this one. Some fresh and lovely caprese too. Be sure to visit the lemon orchard across the street too. read more

We ate a lot of pizza in our two weeks in Italy... like a lot. This was our favorite pizza place. We actually walked but it on the way to eating dinner somewhere else. After staying out for some wines we decided on a late night snack. We were not disappointed. The pizza is served family style on a giant aluminum try. Crust is perfectly cooked with and amazing sauce to mozzarella ratio, with great hints of basil. We wanted to order a second round but we were too full. I bought a shirt from them just so I could remember the experience. read more

Good pizza and wine. Wide menu selection. Enjoyable experience for our lunch. Recommend.

This restaurant was billed as the best pizza in Sorrento by our Airbnb host. We tried it and loved it.

Ate pizza at Da Franco last night and my husbands reaction to the food was "good but not great" and I agree. Based on yelp reviews and other pizza I've had I did have high expectations. There were lots of pizza options which was cool and the pizza I got was tasty, I enjoyed the eggplant on top and thought prices were very reasonable but the dough was the big disappointment. Napoli style pizza of the area usually has a thick and very soft crust with good flavor. This crust was thin and crispy, I ate the cheesy part but skipped the crust. It was good but if you are looking for really good then I'd recommend trying out the pizza at L'Abate which I thought was far superior. And the service was meh, but that's felt pretty typical as an american in Italy. read more

Good pizza place a little away from the tourist strip. Turn right out of the the station instead of left. Pizza was delicious - if you are skipping Napoli this is the place to try for a pizza like the famed pizza across the bay. Pizza Da Franco and Diavolo were both excellent. Went for lunch so it was pretty quiet. read more

One of my favorite pizzerias in Italy. It's located close to the train station and was a short 10 minute walk from our hotel in central Sorrento. We ate here twice during our three day stay in Sorrento, it was that delicious! The menu is fairly straightforward with many pizza options, some salads and calzones. Ton of options for cheese loving vegetarians. They are happy to customize the menu for you if needed. I think we had a calzone with potatoes that originally had meat (ham maybe, they have a lot of ham there) and they were happy to swap it out and add artichokes instead (though we had to pay for the substitute) The food comes out piping hot and service is friendly and also generally quick or not so quick depending on you of course! Like most restaurants in Italy, there's no such thing as tap water so you'll have to buy a bottle if H2O is what you crave with your pizza. They also have other beverages as well. On our second visit for dinner, our waiter offered us a lemon based dessert cake, a speciality in Sorrento / Naples. He was like if you don't like it, it will be free. Well it didn't end up being free for us because we liked it so much. It was refreshing, sweet but not too sweet and just plain delicious! Three of us shared one and it was just enough dessert. They use plastic plates, spoons, cups etc. Wish they were a bit more eco friendly. It's a no frills place that's been around for a long time. Definitely not fine dining but some great food in a casual, laidback and friendly environment. Your stomach will thank you! Definitely the best pizzeria in Sorrento! read more

Best Pizza in Sorrento and one of the best pizza experiences of our recent trip to Italy. De Franco is a nice causal place with very friendly staff. Prices are reasonable especially for beer (66cl 4euro) and wine. The Pizza cooked in a wood fired oven has a delicious crust and excellent topping options. Bench seating and no frills which adds to the charm of the family owned local establishment. read more

Our family was hoping for a fantastic meal. However, our experience was far from it. We waited to be seated which was absolutely fine because it was busy. We indicated we had limited time as we had another engagement. Waitress indicated no problem. After 45 minutes, a waitress told us they lost our order. No pizza, poor service, awful management. Please don't waste your time on this establishment. Wish it would have been a better outcome. read more

Yelp to the rescue.... After many long (and delicious), multi-course meals in Sorrento; we were ready for a low-key lunch. Da Franco was that and more. The clientele was an equal mixture of locals (a good thing) and tourists (expected). Seating is at long wooden tables. Our server came over quickly to take our order, and brought our drinks soon after. Pizzas for one are well sized for 1 person and served on paper on top of metal trays. The margherita pizza had a good tomatoes/sauce (very fresh with a mild natural sweetness) to cheese ratio. The cow's milk and porchetta pizza was a revelation. The creaminess of the cow's milk cheese (similar to a smooth ricotta) paired so well with the saltiness of the porchetta. Tiny potato crisps added a nice texture. Crust was excellent on both pizzas, cooked to a chewy/crispiness without being burnt. Lunch (including 2 sodas) was €18. A great deal and a great meal. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered two takeaway pizzas. The stuff was edible, but nothing special. Not so friendly staff. Therefore 3 stars only.

Pretty good pizza! Staff is nice too. They're open late for Sorrento which is helpful since everything shuts down early

With a line out the door and locals recommending it as there favorite pizza restaurant, Da Franco had some big shoes to fill. As we walked up, you could already see the overflow of joyful chaos clambering to get a table. There is a main waiter shouting orders to the cooks with a huge welcoming smile on his face. Someone near the hostess stand asks how many and your name. It looks like you will be in for a long wait, but our wait was fairly short. We were seated at a large picnic style oversized table right next to the pizza window. You can smell the wood/coal fired oven and everything going in and out of it. Sandwiches, calzones, large two person pizzas, and single pizzas. All the ingredients look local, possibly even off the trees and vegetable bushes growing up and down the street near by. I had a personal size buffalo mozzarella and tomato pizza, my son had olive, olive, ham, mushroom, and sausage. My wife and daughter shared a two person pizza most likely enough for three, sausage, mozzarella, artichoke pizza. All three crusts were perfectly cooked and came out fast. Our waiter suggested a nice half bottle of red Italian wine as well as a starter of paper thin sliced prosciutto ham. The prosciutto melted in your mouth. It also hung in huge legs above your head in huge quantities. The outdoor seating looks like it was fun and exciting to watch traffic move with that, only in italy, ballet of controlled chaos. If you are anywhere near this place you must make time to go for a dine in or takeaway meal. We only have one day left in town and may go back for lunch tomorrow. We saw some cheese plates and sandwiches going out to tables calling our name. Thank you , for yet another amazing meal in Sorrento. read more

My husband and I came here because of the reviews and we were incredibly disappointed. I expected some great Neopolitan style pizza and it was not that. 1/3 of my pizza had no sauce and I ended up leaving the crust which I NEVER do but unfortunately it really was not good at all. We have been in Italy for 2 weeks and this truly was the worst pizza we have had during our time here. Perhaps it's a different style pizza that we are unfamiliar with, but it didn't seem to be as good as others in this area. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

All the locals told us this was the place to go for pizza so we tried it out and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is a series of huge picnic tables. No muss, no fuss! The menu is mostly pizza but they had some other stuff sprinkled in that made a good meal for my gluten free friend! There are two sizes of pizza. They say the large is enough for two ppl but it's for two hungry people! We tried a few different combinations but our favorite was the slow roasted pork with potato pizza. Very different and yummy! The pizzas are rectangular and come out sliced (unlike a lot of places). The crust is thick and the right consistency. Overall a good pick, particularly if you have a large group or family with little kids. read more

Everyone was recommending this pizza joint when we were in Sorrento. We decided to try it one late night since they are open late and it was very good. Would not go as far as it was my best pizza but it was delicious. the staff was so friendly, it made a difference. you can sit inside or outside, it's casual Would go back for sure! read more

This pizza joint is amazing. This restaurant is the only place that we went twice while staying at Sorrento this summer for vacation. All the pizza taste great, the salad was great, and the price was very reasonable. You should also order a large Peroni beer (price was too cheap) as you would need that with the pizza. Also try to cheese and ham platter. I recommend this place to anyone who visits Sorrento, Italy. read more

It's possible that our expectations were just way too high after hearing good things and seeing so many positive reviews, but we were quite disappointed with our pizza here. We ordered the Margherita with mushrooms, which ended up clearly being from a can. The cheese was very greasy and waxy in texture. The dough was decent but didn't have great rise. Our waiter was nice enough, and we did enjoy the wine we had, but we would not recommend this place based on our first experience here. read more

If you're looking for a traditional pizzeria, not a fancy restaurant, this is the place! Besides the enticing smells as you walk past, you are drawn in by the inviting and casual look of the place. It is in a very central location in Sorrento, close to the town square and access to the port. I'm from NY, so the pizzerias I am used to are very casual and have an almost communal, neighborhood feel to them. I immediately felt the same when I walked into Pizzeria Da Franco. When you enter, there are table with benches scattered throughout and large prosciutto hams hanging from above, very similar to a deli. They have a great selection of wine and beer which I took advantage of after a long walk thru Sorrento. The house red wine is simple, medium-bodied and has a nice finish. Definitely worth a taste. Our lunch started with an appetizer of caciocavallo, a local cheese from Sorrento. I normally only eat this at holiday times back home and was excited to see it on the menu as an appetizer. It was creamy and probably 1000 times better than what we have back in NY (imports from Arthur Ave are noteworthy but not a contender). We chose 2 pizzas, both made for one person, one with prosciutto and potatoes and the other with fresh roma tomatoes, bufala mozzarella and arugula. They were both equally delicious in their own way. The one with the potatoes had such flavor and contrast with the prosciutto. It brought out the flavor in the potatoes. The one with the arugula was simple, yet classic and fresh! The crust was thin and cooked perfectly and although we thought we wouldn't finish both, WE DID! There was not a crumb left on the plate. Well done Pizzeria Da Franco. You are a hidden gem in Sorrento! read more
