    5 Topping Pizza + Veal San Remo + 8 Buffalo Wings

    Francesco's is my family's go-to for an easy night in. When life is *lifin'* and we just need a break from cooking, their food is always delicious. I especially love the chicken parm... it's five-finger-lickin' delicious! Ordering is easy peasy on their website, which recently got a great upgrade. Having food photos on the menu now is a huge plus. Definitely give them a try!

    We picked up pizza to go next door to Canvas and Grapes event! Everyone raved about the pizza! It was yummy! Parking on site

    Another stop for The Pizza Beast, this time in Edison, NJ, checking out Francesco's Pizzeria. The place has that classic Jersey local feel--tight interior, a bit chaotic, and the crew knows everyone by name, which gives it charm despite the awkward cashier setup and cramped shared parking lot. The Chicken Caesar slice came out strong, stacked with full grilled chicken pieces and great flavor. But the Shrimp Scampi? Mid at best--too much cheese, soft dough with little crunch, barely any sauce, and light toppings. Friendly vibes, but uneven execution. The Pizza Beast verdict: solid local stop with heart, but not top-tier--6.8/10.

    I can write a dissertation on this pizzeria but I will digress with a paragraph. Let me start off by saying this pizza, the staff and the restaurant were beyond expectations. The place was busy and I see why, the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. Just the right amount of sauce, cheese and the crust was perfect. We also ordered a grilled shrimp caesar salad which was by far the best freaking salad I've had in a while. The only downside was the wait for food that wasn't pizza but it was definitely worth the wait. Would come here every day if I wasn't trying to watch my figure lol.

    So here we go again! Menu said 14 inch sub, got 12 inch. Called about the difference and they stated new bread supplier. Ok! The bread was terrible! Not only shorted but bread roll was very hard! Less meat as well. Will not order subs here.

    I was in the area for one night and was craving a chicken parm sub. This place is on GrubHub and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a zeppelin, because why not? They're delicious. The sub came hot as did the zeppoli. Both portions were huge; I could have split the meal with someone! One thing I really liked about the sub is that the chicken was in slightly larger than bite-sized chunks so it was easier to eat. The sauce was excellent and there was the right amount of cheese. The bread was delicious anddidn;t get too soggy. The zeppoli was so good; you can tell they make their own dough. It was lightly fried, so really soft interior. I was full from the sub, but there was no way I wasn't going to finish this delicious treat. From order time to delivery, it was 25 minutes. They have an extensive menu for all appetites and desires. I you want great Italian-American cuisine, or even a burger, they have you covered.

Their stock answer was humorous after hearing it recites by all three servers: "It's in the oven" I guess practice makes perfect. Standard salad with balsamic, same as every mid pizza/food place I have been before. Red snapper special was way tough on the outside, like chewing leather that you never would really want to eat?! Best thing here was the pork chop, sweet spicy peppers, with onions yummy brown sauce, although the pork was a tad overdone. Overall, this place is a pass.

To make matters worse, a server took away one of the pizza trays while my dad was still actively eating from it--I'm not exaggerating. It was only 9:04 PM, and we were simply finishing our meal before leaving. On top of that, I ordered the Bucatini, and it was severely overcooked. My mom ordered another pasta that also wasn't good. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience with poor service and subpar food.

We were brought downstairs to a large room full of tables and were the only ones in there. We wondered if we'd insulted someone, or if one of us might be 'offensive', (no one was) but as it turns out, it was a 'Godsend'. We're all in our 70's and hearing/speaking can be challenging in a crowded/noisy dining room. We remained the only ones there for almost the entire 2 hours we were there and really enjoyed ourselves without having to yell or ask "WHAT!?" We shared a couple of salads (Greek and Arugula) and calamari, all very good. My wife had the seafood capellini and one sister the seafood fra diavolo, which they both enjoyed. My other sister had a seafood salad and my BIL went for the double cut pork chops, which he too enjoyed. I opted for the Halibut / risotto. Halibut is not an easy fish to make 'moist or juicy'. I make it at home and it comes out 'pretty good' (at least my wife says so) but here, this portion was fantastic! So light an flaky and tasty. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Halibut. We all shared a couple of desserts... a home made carrot cake and a chocolate cake from 'outside'. Both good, but the carrot cake was served warm, which was a first for all of us... and it was terrific! Without a doubt the best carrot cake we'd ever had, so save a little room for their carrot cake if/when go. Our servers, Alyssa and Dagmar provided excellent service as well as some humorous dialogue while we were there. Made our meal just that much better!. Yes... it's a BYOB!

We walked in for lunch and were immediately seated. Though they also take reservations on Resy. We came dressed casually though the vibe seemed a bit dressier with the dimly lit interior. The restaurant has a clean, modern feel while still maintaining the charm of a neighborhood eatery. *FOOD* The menu offers a great variety of Greek-inspired dishes made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I ordered the lobster gyro, which was absolutely delicious. The lobster was flavorful and the combination of ingredients came together nicely in the pita. The dish also comes with a side of fries. *SERVICE* The service was friendly and attentive throughout our lunch. Our waitress was welcoming and checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well. Overall, great experience all around and it's the type of place you'd want as a regular neighborhood favorite. I'd definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu!
