The best pizza! Yes I said it! Fresh ingredients, tastes amazing and even gluten free pizza that is the best I've had anywhere. Really nice place!! Excellent service and the food was really good. Not too fancy but I don't need fancy I need good and fresh food with great service. It's a family run business, which I love to see and the best part is when you see the owners children or even their grandchildren there you know your at the right place. That's how we grow up and when you went into those restaurants you knew right away you were getting good food and we did. Mary was friendly and went the extra mile, we asked if they had rapini as a side dish because we saw it on the pizzas, they didn't but went out of there way and made some for us. They have a hot honey that you can drizzle on your pizza that is really good, sweet but spicy at the same time. The gluten free pizza was crispy and absolutely the best I've had. We had the calamari which tasted good and the dipping sauce as well. The Caesar salad was good as well. A must try when you're in the mood for a pizza or calzone or just want some good food. And the tiramisu was amazing and homemade. We just found this place and Mary was very friendly and we are definitely coming back. read more

When traditional is done right, there's nothing quite like it. Giorgio, the owner, does things old school: heartily stuffed pizzas and calzones at unpretentious prices, served with a neighbourly friendliness and care. We stopped by Frank's Pizza House and quickly saw why this is a Toronto institution: - The pizza was delicious. We got Marisol, which had smoked salmon, goat cheese and capers on it. The toppings were fresh and generous, the dough was soft and chewy, and the cheese was stringy when you took that first few bites. Perfect. - While the pizza is what we came for, the calzone is definitely what we stayed for. We got ours deep fried to differentiate it from the pizza, and followed Giorgio's advice to not get too many fillings so we could taste each one and savour the deep fried goodness of the dough. We got ours with Italian sausage and goat cheese which was a perfect balance of salty creamy. Also, that calzone was stuuuuuffed generously. Frank's is a generational pizza house and it shows in the craft and care Giorgio puts into what comes out of that oven. Old school and tradition are truly beautiful things when done with skill, respect and love. And Frank's Pizza House does that in abundance. Highly recommend! read more

One of the better 3.5-star pizzas overall. We were told we couldn't eat the pizza inside the restaurant (according to the older server lady). This is during zero COVID-19 restrictions, and at least 2 other occupied tables. No issues at FBI Pizza, and they consistently topped off our drinks. Ordered plain 18" ($27.00) pie, (with tomato sauce & mozz') with extra cheese (+$2.25); asked for almost "well done." Got a 16" pie but I didn't believe they did at the time. Anyway, this is one of the oldest pizza restos in the city (est. 1965), and a short walk west from the new FBI Pizza location on the same street. Certainly old-school style (more "bready" with less air pockets), similar to Bitondo's, Cafe Diplomatico, and Mark's Pizza. Dough tasted great, hints of sourdough (more savoury and sourdough-like flavour than the "whiter/sweeter" FBI Pizza dough), tomato sauce was a bit watery but superbly savoury, umami flavour (akin to a touch of anchovy). The tomato sauce was very good, and competed with 'Mark's Pizza' for one of the better tomato sauces tried. Cheese was solid overall, but easily slid off the somewhat water sauce. They garnished (for free) with basil and fior di latte (nice visuals and added flavour hints), which shows they care about their product. Overall an impressive savoury pie, and prefered both the flavours of dough and tomato sauce over FBI Pizza's, but "bang-for-buck" goes to FBI Pizza (they offer 20% of their 21" pies for walk-in orders; comes to about $27.20 before tax+tip). read more

Its been a long time since going to a family run Pizzeria, but coming here, the vibe, atmosphere and seeing the place being run by multiple generations at once was very heartwarming. We asked how fresh everything was, and it was amazing to see both the calzone and pizza made fresh, right from the dough toss to the pizza ovens. The veggies and meats were fresh cut and the tomatoe sauce smelt so good. With the calzone, the ratio of filling to pastry was perfect, it was a bit overly stuffed but thats better in my opinion because as you eat, the puffyness of the pastry will flatten out a bit. The thickness of the pizza was just right, not too thin but not deep dish. read more

If you know me, you know I am a sucker for a good pizza. I am always on the hunt for the best pizza joints in the city and this is on the top of my list! Frank's Pizza House was established in 1965 making it one of the oldest and greatest pizzerias in Toronto. A family owned business, offering traditional Italian dishes and homemade pizza/panzos. As someone who worked in hospitality industry for over two years.. this is honestly one of the best experiences I've had. The food was made to order, the service was incredible and you can tell the food was made with high quality ingredients. Usually after eating a pizza whether it's sharing or eating it to my face.. I didn't feel like I wanted to take a nap from the carb overload haha!

Frank's Pizza House is one if the oldest and the best pizzeria in Toronto. Established in 1960s, Frank's Pizza house is a family-run pizzeria. Giorgio enjoys serving guests. He aces at baking fresh pizzas. Pepperoni pizza is the bestseller at Frank's Pizza house. I would recommend Panzerotti too. I visited Frank's Pizza House for lunch and enjoyed the experience. They are open for delivery and pick up. Thanks to Giorgio and his family for the wonderful experience. I would love to visit again with friends who love pepperoni pizza. Totally recommended! read more

Frank’s Pizza House - Large pepperoni za - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I ordered a large pizza, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it took an hour and 40 minutes to arrive. I live less than 2 kms away. I called them after and hour and 20 to ask if there was a problem and the person on the phone had a terrible attitude and acted as though I was bothering them. When the pizza arrived it was cold. The delivery driver said that it had been sitting on a steel rack near the counter. He also told me that the place was not particularly busy. I hope that the tip I gave the courier does not find it's way back to the other staff in the restaurant. The cheese was go awful, and I can't imagine it being better even if it was warm. I'll never give them my business again, and with their attitude and service, I don't see this terrible place surviving the winter. AWFUL!!!! read more

Meh, a bit disappointing considering they did not get my order right and then tried to say it was my fault.. No I did not ask for mushrooms nor would I never in this lifetime ever use the word mushroom, I hate those things, ugh. I am always up for trying a new pizza joint, I found this place searching for panzerotti right here on Yelp and this was one of the few places that showed up. The panzerotti after it was made right, was okay. As you all should know a panzerotti is deep fried and this thing was full on greasy but I won't complain about that because I did order it knowing that it in deep fried. There is a upside to this place, which I found out from the owner who is a very friendly man. He is one of the few left who actually use REAL cheese! Everywhere else like Pizza Pizza, Pizzaville, Pizza Nova etc all use WHEY PROTEIN! isn't that interesting? I guess that explains why the cheese always looks so plastic and perfect white .. Not only does he use real cheese, but he uses an amazing amount of cheese, I would come back, because it wasn't bad, just a little out of the area and hopefully my order comes out right next time. read more

I haven't been back, but I had to pop in to correct my misspelling of "espresso", 11 years ago. How embarrassing!

What a great lunch experience. I found Frank's Pizza House from a recent BlogTO review which touted it as the #1 calzone in Toronto. Although it's rare that I'll give five stars after one experience, this place deserves it. My panzerotti was delicious! (the mystery has been dispelled thanks to Giorgio, a panzerotti is fried, a calzone is baked). I opted for the classic pepperoni and cheese only with tomato sauce on the side. A purist selection, as it were. Although it was deep fried, it was not at all greasy. There was an amazing amount of quality cheese inside (you can tell it was good by it's taste, which was noticeable). You can also tell that the tomato sauce must be made from scratch, very tomato-y). I just had to buy another to take home for wifey to try. The environment is superbly clean and the staff/owners were kind, hospitable and perfectly conversational. An overall pleasant experience, I'll be back and I will definitely order for delivery (through just-eat). Visit Frank's. You'll see. read more

I ordered in tonight, and experienced a short lived disappointment, upon seeing the size of the pizza. This disappointment ended when I bit into the delicious pizza. I Can definitely see why it is Toronto's best pizza. For Tonights order I  got the 10" Toronto pizza,It was amazing. The only problem I had being   the size!!, it just doesn't measure up to the price. With other ma and pa pizza shops beating them by a dollar or more.  I will definitely order from here again, but not the pizza. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying  that the pizza wasn't amazing, but  The calzone is way bigger and a better bang for your buck even if you where to get all the toppings the pizza I ordered came with (3).And other words of advice. Don't order through uber eats,using fFranks delivery service is free as long as you pay cash. read more

Need a taste of Italy. A great place to go or can try their take out menu. A staple of the Italian neighbourhood with friendly service and real authentic pizza.

A must in our house. Jean read more

So i ordered a large pizza from them yesterday...not impressed. The flavor was fine. The crust on the pizza is too thin and can't support the toppings and gets soggy and soft instead of crispy. Same thing goes for the calzone. read more

Found in Corsa Italia, this place prides itself on being known for its calzones. I mean, it has been on the 'best of' lists for basically everywhere. So I had to try it. When I went to visit, our waitress tells us that typically the calzones ($8) are baked or fried. We have ours baked and I try mine with caramelized onions, bacon, mushroom and extra cheese. My pal gets goat cheese, roasted red pepper and sausage. The dough is nice and thin, which means you can eat with your hands or a fork and knife. The only thing I would say I noticed was that the calzones (IMO) needed more filling. Perhaps this is a personal preference? The marinara sauce with the calzone (an extra charge) is pretty heavenly. Perfect for dipping. I also ordered a caesar salad (on the side) and paired with the calzone, it was SO MUCH FOOD. Also, there was a sign on the door saying they deliver via JustEat so this is the best news I've heard all week. If you're a calzone/panzo fan like I am, you must make the trip out to Frank's. read more

We've heard several good things about Frank's and wanted to give it a try. We called with a takeout order for a birthday - two xlarge pizzas and three different pastas. The person on the phone was so rude - and we were told it would take 1 1/2 hours for an "order of that size". Insanity. Too many other places on this city with food just as good. read more

We've ordered from here a few times, but this will be the last. The service over the telephone is beyond rude! Also waiting for delivery for over 1 1/2 hours is ridiculous. My over priced salad didn't even come with dressing. The pizza wasn't even cut properly with mammoth sized slices. The "manager" hung up on me and said he'd review me back. So I've included pictures to save you your time, hunger and money. Toronto is full of great Italian restaurants. I won't be ordering here again! read more

Frank’s Pizza House - Wtf! - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my third time going to this restaurant. The first two times I enjoyed the food but not the service so much. I find the waitresses a bit stuck up and not friendly as you'd expect from a restaurant. From the moment our waitress came to the table she had a very stink attitude as if we were more of an annoyance to her having to have to serve us. I always order the Greek salad as well as garlic bread or bruschetta to start. The Greek salad was not as creamy as it has been and the bruschetta had too much tomato on it and not enough flavor and because of all the tomatoes the bread was soggy so it didn't taste good. I informed the waitress of this and she responded, "Do you want to take some of the tomatoes off?" I am not sure how that would help being that the bread was already soggy. I told her it was ok because I know it wasn't worth it. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut because for the rest of the night not once did they come back to our tables to refill our water or beer as well as check on us to see how things were at our table. I doubt I will be going back to this restaurant again because if it is one thing I hate is being disrespected and ignored at an service establishment for no reason. There was a table beside us who came in after us and they were well taken care of. They got their beer and water refilled and the three times they came to look after that table not once did they turn around and ask how things were or offered to refill anything we had. I had to call after her as she was walking away to have her bring us the bill. Every time she came to the other table beside us, her back was to us and she would just walk away without so much as acknowledging our presence. The other table had two people and we were four. I was never rude, I just simply informed her something was off about the food as it was not how I know it had been before, nothing to have an attitude about or ignore us most of the night other than when they brought our pizza. The service is very slow but the pizza itself is worth the wait. I am sure there are other lovely authentic Italian pizza places in Toronto so I will not be going here again. We had about $85 worth of food and we did not give a tip because the service did not deserve any. read more

Frank’s Pizza House - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love mom and pop restaurants so when i needed to grab dinner in this area, a quick read of my fellow yelpers helped me to decide on this place. It's a fairly small restaurant but there was a good selection of pizza, pasta and calzones. I got the diavolo pizza (sausage and hot peppers) and it was fantastic. Thin and crispy bottom, hot peppers with kick and a nice fresh, homemade sauce. My friend got a calzone and though it was good, it did get a bit soggy in the middle (guess that's why you should get the fried version!) It was still tasty and the separate sauce was a good touch. We devoured my pizza and at $12.50, how could you NOT go back! Definitely planning another trip to try out the pastas! read more

No you won't see frank, but you will see his nephew George. This is still a family run business, and it feels like it. Atmosphere - your basic pizza joint classed up a bit. It not too fancy, and not too plain. Its a nice quiet place, a little on the small side, but comfortable. Paper menus? Yes, but I'd take that over a place with leather bound menus that charge me twice the price and turn up their nose at me when i don't buy a $60+ wine. Service - Excellent. It wasn't that busy, but it was an hour before closing. (we were the only customers, except for two guys waiting for take out). We were invited to split two dishes so we could try more of the menu, and they even welcomed our quirky requests. I wonder how this place is when its busy (apparently on friday and saturday - just like every other resto). Pizza - hot, fresh, thin. Had the diavolo. The hot peppers are actually hot! Panzerotti - this was the star of the show. Wow! It kind of like the Panzerottis at "Panzerotto Pizza", but its made by someone that cares how it tastes like. The biggest difference was that the panzo is NOT soggy. How you ask? They leave most of the sauce out, and this results in deep fried goodness that does not spill all over the place. extra sauce is provided on the side if needed. Dessert - i didn't get a chance as i was stuffed to the gills. But they have tartufo {only in the summer] and tiramisu. The tiramisu IS brought over from Italy, and is apparently a big hit (especially for delivery). The tiramisu does not have any alcohol in it for those people that don't appreciate the flavour [me!!]. I will definately give it a try on my next visit. read more

I was craving pizza like crazy, good pizza. So I took a walk and saw Frank's. It seemed more authentic than the other options. I am so happy I stopped in here. I had a calzone and it was soooooo goooood! You can tell that this is for real Italian pizza. And they know what they're doing. I will definitely go back again for this awesome calzone. The only thing is that while my waitress was very nice and friendly, she took a while on things. And they definitely favour their regulars. Some people came in while I was waiting for food and they got a lot more attention than me since the whole family seemed to know them. But oh well, it was still amazing food. I'm definitely loving it. read more

According to numerous blogs: Franks Pizza House = Best Calzone in Toronto..... really? My first experience with Franks calzone happened about 10 years ago and from what I recall, it was the damn best calzone I had ever had. My second experience with Franks Pizza House went like this -- I placed an order for delivery of a calzone. One and a half hours later and my food had not yet been delivered. I called in and they assured me that that the driver had left and would show up within 10 minutes. That was lie #1. Another half hour goes by and still nothing. I called in again to cancel but they said they called the driver and he said he as en route to my place and would be there in less than 5 minutes. That was lie #2. 15 minutes later, still no food. I called and cancelled. I thought, perhaps they were just really really busy, maybe someone didn't show up for their shift or whatever. My third experience would prove this notion to be incorrect. My third experience with Franks Pizza House went as follows: Again, I ordered the calzone at 8:07pm. It finally arrived at 9:35pm. I had ordered 2 toppings, Italian sausage and hot peppers. I cut open my calzone and discovered it had 2 and a half slices of sausage, and a whopping 6 banana pepper rings. I have to admit, it definitely tasted pretty damn amazing, however, I will NEVER be ordering from Franks again. I would rather heat up Pilsbury pizza pockets and eat that before dying of starvation and having to deal with this type of dishonesty again. Franks Pizza House - Get your sh!t together! Actually, I don't care if you do or don't. You will never again get my money. Goodbye! read more

Rude, slow service. Waited over an hour and a half for a mediocre pizza and their visa policy is stupid and dissuasive. Won't call again. Long live Marcellos! Updating to respond to the "owner". The person who answered the phone was rude; I didn't ask her name, I didn't expect to need to follow up. Not sure how you manage to stand 2 feet away during all operating hours, but it sounds like we have a different idea about what makes good customer service. I specifically asked about how the onions were sliced (makes a difference in flavour, chopped is for cooking) and she confirmed they're sliced. Imagine my surprise to discover a ton of chopped onions. Under the cheese. Fail. As for why we continued with the order despite the visa policy, I was already thru the order when I was informed of it. I have no problem paying for delivery, but it is silly and illogical to say because delivery is free visa is not. Just charge for delivery if that's the issue. Anyway it was our second time ordering (last time my partner paid cash without the whole song and dance about visa subsidizing delivery). Given how long it took (hour and a half!) and that it was expensive and disappointing to eat, the visa issue won't be a problem for me again. read more

This place is the greatest. Sadly, I cannot frequent it any more due to the non-gluten free menu, but I thought it was worth a write-up, so here goes. The restaurant is owned and operated by mother and son Maria and Giorgio Taverniti, who are super friendly and helpful if you're looking for suggestions. The best item on the menu that I've tried is the baked panzerotti ($8). I usually order it with bacon, mushrooms, and pepperoni. It's a gooey, cheesy feast of a meal and it won't cost you more than $10 with tax. You can also choose to get the panzerotti fried instead of baked if you prefer. Either way, it will fill you up! The pizzas at Frank's are also very good. It's hard to compete with the Neapolitan-style gourmet pizzas served down the street at Marcello's or Pizza e Pazzi, but Frank's makes a tasty pie. If you are more inclined to try their pasta, I'd recommend the ravioli or the linguine pescatore. If you order a pasta dish, you also get a serving of garlic bread made from arguably the best bakery in Toronto across the street at Tre Mari Bakery. Tip: get the bacon on your pizza/panzerotti. They use a special cooking process to bring out the flavour and it tastes amazing. read more

Worst pizza ever. We ordered based on a Blog TO list and were sadly very disappointed. It took an hour and 10 minutes to arrive and when it did it was over cooked and rock hard. This was not the worst part. It literally had no taste!!! Even the sausage tasted like nothing. I cut up hot dog would have been better...We both agreed there are far superior frozen pizzas on the market than Frank's. We like to support independent businesses but I'd definitely recommend a chain over this place. Oh and the box had an add for a personal injury law firm on it but I digress... read more

I called and placed an order for pick up for an XL pizza with garlic bread and pop, it was my first time and as soon as I walked in was greeted at the door by the waitress and the chef himself. They were quick and double checked that we had the drinks we ordered and now the best part of this was the pizza. It was delicious and not too thick, lots of veggies all over. I would certainly recommend this place if you're in the mood for a good pizza with great customer service! read more

Overall disappointing. After reading several positive reviews about Frank's my family and I decided to try this place out for lunch. We ordered a baked calzone, a fried calzone and a quattro formaggi pizza. The pizza was, sadly, the only decent part of the experience. Despite the restaurant only having 2 other tables seated, our food took about 30 minutes to arrive. The pizza was decent, but had so much feta I couldn't taste anything else. The dipping "sauce" that came with the calzones tasted exactly like Heinz tomato soup, but lukewarm and with no salt. The pizza dough had absolutely no flavour, which hurt the already poorly seasoned dishes. We ordered 2 cups of black tea but were brought green tea instead. Why? They had "bought the wrong kind". Unacceptable for a proper restaurant. I can't imagine it being that hard to pick out the right kind of tea, or at least have some semblance of a selection. Condiments such as salt and pepper were not on the table, which was okay, but there was no offer to bring us any, which was a bit disheartening. My mother had to go to the front to ask, which was somewhat annoying. The Italian restaurants we've been to in the past have also had chili oil, and when we inquired about it we were brought a pot of cold, slightly rancid olive oil with some chili flakes sprinkled in. They should have just said they don't have any! There was really no sense of warmth or care in the service. I would give one star, but the food was edible and the place was reasonably clean and well furnished. Those, however, are not good enough reasons for us to ever want to return, or suggest the place to others. I don't know why this place has so many high ratings. read more

Boyfriend and I ordered 2 calzones for pick up. We asked to fry instead of baked. 3 toppings each with a side of their in house sauce. Took 45 min to make. Total amount around $30. I've had better elsewhere for a fraction of the price. Although the dough is delicious, I expected the calzone to be more crunchy instead of soft. Maybe we'll come back to try their pizza instead. read more

Don't get me wrong, Frank's pizza was pretty good for pizza delivery. Way better than pizza pizza. But a few things brought my rating of Frank's down. First of all, tho' I love a cheesy pizza, these just had too much. Each slice felt like it could be used for weight-lifting (which we would need after indulging in such gooey pizza!). It made for a very salty experience. My advice: go for un-salty topping at this place (rather than, say, olives) and you'll have a better experience. Also, the toppings themselves were just ok. We decided to splurge and ordered some rapini (a "gourmet topping" according to Frank's), but it was overcooked and stringy, rather than fresh with the slightly bitter bite that makes rapini so good. Most of all, though, it was just too darn pricey. For two extra large pizzas and two salads, we paid $77. Not bad for feeding 7 people, but still. For pizza? Vegetarian score: 8/10. Totally average for a pizza place with a few nice extra veggie-friendly choices. read more

We ordered 2 medium pizzas for delivery, one was custom toppings and the other one was a signature pizza - Cacciatora Pizza The bill came to 47 dollars before tip, so it is a bit pricey compared to chain pizza places, but it was well worth it. First of all, what Frank's calls a medium is actually a large, so keep that in mind. Secondly, WOW! The toppings and crust were completely perfect as was the service I received both from the delivery driver and the person answering the phone. The toppings were extremely fresh and most of them seemed hand cut. The crust was firm, yet was soft enough to eat. The crust had some nice charring on some spots without burning the toppings. I'm glad we gave them a try, this will be our household's new go-to place for pizza in this area. Overall, the food and service were both A+ read more

Yeah good pizza but have had some weird experiences here in the customer service aspect. Ordered a pizza only to get there and to be handed a calzone and being told adamently that i said Calzone on the phone? Calzone isn't even in my vocabulary i say panzerotti. Also the wait times for pizza sometimes is crazy but I guess thats just how they do it? like one person making one pizza at a time idk. read more
