    I stopped into Franco's on the way home from the Jersey Shore. I picked this spot in particular because they are open until 11:00pm which is later than most of the other pizzerias and it was already close to 9:30pm. The staff was very friendly and inviting. Service was quick and the prices were decent. I went with two plain slices and a pasta slice. The pasta slice was alright. It wasn't really anything special. The plain slices were on point though. They had good sauce and good cheese. The base was thin and crispy. The crust was just the right amount of crispy with a good bready flavor.

    Slice of cheese pizza

    I was in a pizza mood so I tried a slice of pizza at Franco's and Palermo's just down the road. Francis was definitely my favorite. The crust was nice and crispy, the sauce was flavorful with a mix sweetness and tang while the cheese was good quality. The over all atmosphere was better with a more Italian vibe. They even had an Italian station playing. Definitely worth a stop or a 10 mile out of the way. I would give this a 4.25 out of 5. This was not the best I have had but was very good pizza .

    Garlic knots  Buffalo pizza & Beef patty

    Not a fan. The garlic knots have A LOT of garlic and the oil used leaves an after taste in my mouth for a while. Wouldn't really recommend. And most definitely did NOT enjoy the beef patty. Honestly the meat inside looks and tastes SO fake.

    Garlic Knots & Mozzarella Sticks

    Consistently great service, always quick. Delicious penne vodka, pizza, and garlic knots.

    Pizza is "real pizza" made by people who know what pizza is supposed to taste like. Staff is friendly and the food is really good!

    Pizza is too thick, has too much cheese, and is very oily. Definitely not my style of true Italian pizza. Thumbs down.

    I always order the Cheese Ravioli. so good. If you ask they will add Mozzarella cheese on top and it's the best thing.

    This restaurant came highly recommended by a great friend, so when I was thinking of a place to…read moretake my amazing daughter for her birthday, this was my first choice and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint. Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice.

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.

    April 2025 Update: The original owner, Dario, has returned & the food is better than ever!…read more During my last visit, I swore I would never return after the experience with the new owners. But as soon as I heard that Dario was back, my entire family made it a point to stop by and see if the rumors were true. Thankfully they were, and the same amazing food we knew & fell in love with is back in Metuchen! Everything we had this time around was a complete 180 from the previous visit. My favorite pasta, the Fettucine Mare, (vodka sauce pasta with crab, scallops and shrimp) was back on the menu and oh how we have missed it!! Other favorites of the night were the bruschetta, shrimp fra diavolo, and salmon. It's amazing how different food can be when you have ownership that truly cares about the sourcing of ingredients. The seafood tasted fresher than ever, produce was of the highest quality. I could go on and on about how good this meal was, but you definitely need to try it yourself to understand. Five stars!

Our server was super friendly and checked in with us a perfect amount of times. The food was really good. I had a Margherita slice which was very good: flat crust with a bit of chew. Perfect. The front case had several specialty slices (eg slices with rigatoni on top). The table shared apps of calamari and rice balls. Both were delicious and served piping hot. I'd definitely stop by again when in town.

The…read moreperson who took the order over the phone was patient, the girl who gave us our food and checked us out was friendly and offered us plates and seasonings. Two of my friends were in from out of state and of course, when in Jersey you have to get PIZZA! I'm not unfamiliar with this area but all my favorite pizzerias are at least 15 mins away, so I wanted to get them something closer to their hotel. I saw the good rating and heard from a friend that it was good so I landed on Brooklyn Boys. We order garlic knots, white pizza, & vodka margherita. The garlic knots were so dry they were stored in a pizza box. I felt these were more like garlic dinner rolls. The garlic knots I know are soaked in a buttery garlicky oil, these weren't that. The white pizza was good but again, a bit dry. I would have liked more ricotta all over under the mozzarella. It also just didn't have much oil, which I understand is a preference. I know some people who blot their pizza to get some grease off, I'm not one of those people. In fact, I once went to a pizzeria where they give you flavored oil with your pizza to enhance it, those are my people. I saved the best for last- the vodka margherita. The vodka sauce had a good flavor and there was a good amount, the fresh mozzarella paired nicely. Overall, I didn't feel like this was a good representation of Jersey pizza, or Brooklyn for that matter. For what it's worth my guests thought it was generally tasty and were happy, they said it was better than what they had in their respective states, although they too were very disappointed with the dinner rolls, ahem, "garlic knots".
