Ordered my food online based on the reviews, my order was almost prepared when I arrived. I didn't mind waiting at all for the rest because I arrived well before the estimated pick up time. I ordered a sicilian style spinach and ricotta cheese pizza. My pizza came fresh out of the oven but could've probably used a few more minutes, as the crust became soggy by the timeI got home (I live 6 minutes away). Overall the pizza flavors were exactly what I wanted and it wasn't bad, I would probably opt for a more traditional Neapolitan style crust next time. I also ordered the mozzarella caprese salad, was ok minus the fact that the mozzarella cheese had no flavor, the tomatoes were fresh, but I would probably not order this dish again. Decent spot for food overall would try other menu items in the future. read more

In town on work. Stopped in for the few diavolo with linguini. Got spaghetti. Ordered 5 dishes total to go spending close to $50 for 2. Didn't get no utensils or napkins. How am I supposed to eat the pasta ? Onion rings greasy taste like pure oil. Fra diavolo taseless. Taste like water. I guess this is good for Delaware. No utensils though? Thanks. Oh almost forgot while waiting for the food. I noticed a lot of flies flying around the pizza and other items of food where the display area was. Wow. read more

Call it Franklin's pasta, not Franco's! Typical DE cacca! Speak all the Italian you want in the kitchen! Your food is still non autentico! Baked ziti? No, rigatoni without the baked! Lasagna? Um, fyi- ricotta is an essential ingredient! And stacked noodles? So, 1 layer high, 3 noodles thick? Yeah that's a no no too. Per favore, basta with the crappy pasta! Grazie mille!! read more

Coming from a pizza rich environment (hint, hint), I would say that Franco's is hands down the best pizza in the Dover area. The dough is hand tossed, they have a real pizza over not the "rolly polly" business that's an unfortunate staple in all the chains pizza places. As a pizza lover and someone that has also been to Italy, I can appreciate the authenticity of the food and even the attention to detail in the sourced ingredients and preparation. The owners are very nice and have a genuine love for what they do. This is what makes Franco's the best here in the Dover area. read more

If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this place won't disappoint. Cute and quaint little place, friendly service, and huge portions. The fresh from the oven bread is always a favorite of mine. The oil blend for dipping really accompanied the bread well. We ordered a Margherita pizza and it was cooked to perfection with the cheese melted just right and just the right amount of basil. Pasta ordered was Carbonara with fettuccine. It was piping hot and so yummy. It looked beautiful in its bowl (forgot to take a pic I was too excited to taste it). Really loved everything about this establishment! Thanks YELP for the suggestion! read more

Chicken Alfredo was very bland and tasteless, I'm so sad I spent 24$ on a plate that was this bad. Paying that much I expected something great. read more

Just a great place to eat and wonderful atmosphere even though it was crowded with a large party before we were seated. Bread with the flavored oil Waac fantastic and we all spaghetti type dishes where the sauce was plentiful. We were able to take food home and it was a good family dining experience. If we are in that area again we will definitely be back. Service was very good and waitstaff was accommodating. read more

Delicious pizza, delicious spaghetti and out of this world homemade meatballs. Amazing service in this small and quaint restaurant. Thank you Franco's. You've got some fans from Boston! read more

Super friendly service and good food. I'm looking forward to leftovers for dinner tonight (so maybe we over indulged and ordered more than we could handle). We usually visit a popular local chain when in the area but I'm glad we found Franco's because their pizza was great! read more

The best pizza in Delaware!! The ingredients are fresh and they never skimp on portions! The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the customer service over the phone and when you pick up an order, the front counter employees Are not personable. read more

This was a great experience! Fantastic service and great food. The complimentary bread and olive oil/garlic was awesome! Cheese bread was equally great and the pizza was super flavorful and delicious! We will be back. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but absolutely delicious food, especially the pizza. Also their cannolis are amazing, highly recommend read more

Sooo we just moved to Dover. We didn't have a fav pizza place! We took the " Franco verses Vincenzos " challenge and had cheese slices at both. 3 people all confirmed francos pizza was the most delicious we have had ever! Every thing about it was amazing! Crispy crust that was super thin delish sauce and perfect amount of cheese! A big winner in our book! read more

There subs ok. They put the chesses in on spot and dont spread in the sub. The prices are high. The food taste is good. The pizza is too thin and greasy read more

The staff looks friendly but it was not clear on their lunch specials. The service is somewhat slow tho. I had the calzone with 3 cheeses it was a little smaller compared to what I get in any pizza joint in Jersey and wasn't very good. Overall is a solid 2 read more

This place has me mixed. I used to live here and eat here all the time. I came to visit for a week last January and ate here twice! The first time I got my standby tuna salad, it was okay but not nearly as good as it used to be!! The second time I bought pizza and it was as good as it ever has been! read more

On our way back home from a girls get-a-way we wanted Italian food for dinner. So glad we decided to try Franco's! Friendly staff and amazing food! It was our first time and certainly won't be our last! I got the chicken parm dinner with broccoli instead of pasta which was great, the other ladies did pizza and cheesesteak subs! (3 people could eat 1 sub!). If you are near this spot, definitely stop! It's completely worth it! read more

We were on the highway and decided to make a quick stop at macdonalds. When we pulled in to the parking lot, I spotted Franco's and decided to give it a try. The first thing I do when visiting a new place is to check out the bathroom. This one was very clean, and the Italian ceramic tile was nicer than ours at home! Anyway, the service was great. The manager came to our table to greet us and made us feel at home. All we had was a pepperoni pizza which was delicious. The menu looks awesome and I am certain to make this a regular stop on our way south again. This is a real Italian restaurant! Monja! read more

I'm giving it a 3 star because we are not a fan of their pizza and the chicken marsala . We did like their cheesesteak, crostini, and the desserts. We will try different dishes in the menu. read more

Spaghetti and chicken parmigiana were delicious as well as sauce- got lucky here- was delivered to our hotel- only problem was utensils and napkins not included - loved it - will go there when COVID done! read more

So far so good at Franco's. I'm here at Dover AFB for a while and so I have to eat out a lot since I don't have a kitchen in my room. I got off work late and wanted something quick to eat. So pizza was the perfect choice. Called them up and ordered a slice of cheese and slice of pepperoni (my staple order). I was pleased they had New York style pizza, which was thin with a good sauce to cheese ratio. The toppings weren't as fresh as other pizzerias I frequent, but the pizza was still good. The place is a little mom and pop establishment with friendly workers twirling pies all night. They have a seating area that seems it could fit around 30 people. Most people were ordering food to go though since it's pretty small. Very convenient to Dover AFB and an excellent pizza option compared to Grotto's pizza on base. They also have pasta and subs. Thanks Franco's! read more

The Italian accent presented to us by the lady taking our order was so over the top that this naive Midwestern thought for a moment that she was making a crude joke. Only after a few more sentences did I realize that, no, she really was that Italian. It appears this carried throughout the restaurant and into the food, from the fresh baked bread, to the true NY-style pizza that gloriously peppers this part of the country, to a pretty good-looking and a bit unconventional lasagna that I got to see but not touch. I found the pizza to be a little too heavy on the grease, but I was just happy to be eating the products of someone who knows how to knead a ball of dough. It's difficult to get much more Italian than this. read more

Pretty damn good pizza!!! am visiting my sister this week....in town from California....and the family all just HAD to try some local pizza. We took to Yelp to guide us and WE ARE DEFINITELY HAPPYY!! Their crust is so fresh and perfectly doughy/chewy/soft. Their sauce is not overwhelming and just mixed soooo well with the crust and toppings. Their is plenty of cheese and fresh toppings. Their veggie toppings are perfectly cooked too, not soggy nor crunchy, just perfect. Their wings are great and come with a side of hot sauce that is super spicy and yummy! They definitely pleased us and made US VERY HAPPY that we chose this place is our 1 night of pizza dinner!!! :-) read more

Horrible service, staff has awful attitudes, food has been cold every time. Had multiple negative experiences. Won't ever return.

I am not a fan of blue cheese but I had there buffalo chicken pizza that has blue cheese on it and I enjoyed it. Taste like ranch to me

Never had anything but excellent food and excellent service (especially if you get Marco!). I couldn't tell you my favorite meal, I have loved: baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti, lasagna, chicken parmesan. Their bread is hot and delicious. Mmmmm. My husband gets the spaghetti bolognese almost every time. P.S. Portions are huge! Yum! read more

We have gotten pizza carry out here before, but this was our first time dining in. The service was friendly, but very slow. It was almost 15 minutes before someone came to take our drink order, although multiple servers called "just a few minutes" on their way by. After our drinks were delivered, about five minutes later our server brought bread- which while tasty, is served on a plate with a handful of butter packages. We ended up waiting almost 45 minutes for our pizza, during which time we weren't even offered drink refills and never saw our server. The pizza was fine once it arrived. I feel the best description for a pizza from here is simply "adequate". I would eat here again to try the pasta dishes but the service leaves me not wanting to do that any time soon. read more

The very good food is offset by the service that can be maddeningly slow. The wait staff is friendly enough, but waiting 45 minutes to be served subs and a stromboli was making us wonder if they were kneading the bread and butchering the animals for the meat while we were waiting. I would love to give Franco's a higher rating, because the atmosphere is nice, the food is good, and you get a lot of food for your dollar. But I can't overlook the service which makes you want to bring along a good novel to read while you're waiting for your food to arrive. read more

I ordered baked ziti for my small group gathering and it was delicious The best I have eaten. Francos is the best ! Go see for yourself and be amazed read more

Franco's is a great Italian restaurant that succeeds in effectively balancing decent quality with a nice dining area that is family friendly-- maintaining its character without losing it's sense of style. They do dine-in and take-out, and include all the sides for the items to-go. They even have some interesting soda options in 2-litre bottles. I've had mixed experiences with the food from Franco's but the pizza is always top-notch. They make it all by hand, right next to the counter so you can tell everything's fresh. Generous with the toppings, they have great recipes that work well with my palate. The baked ziti, on the other hand, I found to be relatively bland and boring. Moral of the story: stick with the amazing pizza! read more

I wanted to like this place. No greeting either entering and leaving the restaurants is not good sign but we were here with kids who wanted to eat pasta.. Despite unwelcome with slightly attitude services, the foods was moderate average. Handmade bread was good. It's good choice to take to go place if you don't want to deal with their service and truly enjoy only foods. Lucky children doesn't know the difference. read more

Wow now I love pizza & this pizza taste like pizza from NY! Fresh ingredients & Marco was very pleasant!

The pizza was very good and the waiters and waitresses were very welcoming and kind the only reason its a 4 star is because at the end it took them 20 mins to give us our check read more

Awesome food! Great lunch special. Stopped for for a quick moral after a tournament.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! ..That is, for Dover Delaware anyway. Seriously though, I reccomend you try the 3 cheese calzone. At a modest 8 dollars for a "small," this monster comes out to be about the size of your head. Czech it out! read more

I've yet to try a dish I didn't like here. The wait staff is incredibly friendly. The bread is amazing! read more

Get chef boyardee from food lion, about the same, maybe a little higher quality and %1000 percent cheaper. SHAME and extremely disappointing
