    Pepperoni, black olive & Bacon pizza! Always best ordered with their cherry coke!

    This is a very long time Englewood Gem. Many generations of Englewood families have frequented this restaurant in all of its 64 years. This building was originally built to be a home. It's like going over to a grandparents home and they make the best pizza in the states. (Or so I've found so far) The employees are all so welcoming and thoughtful as well as the Krascek family who you'll catch there often to serve Englewood some amazing pizza and socializing. I'm 5th generation Englewood resident. My family has gone to Franks since it's been open in 1961. With recent news, The building was sold and the family who runs this business has a GoFundMe (check out "frank the pizza king" on Facebook and instagram.) We aren't sure they can keep the current location... but let's help this amazing family continue to serve us some of their own family made pizza!

    I waited an hour for this?

    I grew up not far away, but haven't eaten here in 30 years. Was nearby for work and thought I'd give lunch a try. Arrived just after 11 on a Saturday and the place was already filling up. Being a work lunch, I tried to order several times but was barked at to sit down and wait. Ordered the lunch special, which consists of a fountain soda from a machine that tastes like it needs maintenance, a small salad straight from a Sysco bag, and an hour long wait for a tiny sub-Totino's quality pizza. They have a big oven back in the kitchen I can see. But the crust looks pressed in a mold; it's super dry and just gross, like a really thick saltine cracker. There's not a frozen pizza made that couldn't surpass this. The scanty sauce is oddly sweet, so sugar added. I got their "homemade" sausage, so I couldn't tell if the dry oregano that kept punching me in the mouth was in the sauce, the sausage, or both. Either way, no. Screw Dave Portnoy, but he'd give this 2 stars at best. I'm calling it the worst restaurant pizza I can remember. (I overheard someone saying something about their closing, and just read that in another review, so sorry for kicking them while they're down, but this pizza doesn't deserve to exist.)

    Frank's Special Pizza (Mushrooms, Pepperoni, Bell Peppers, Onions and Sausage) with a side of optional anchovies.

    This place came strongly recommended by the Service Manager at AutoTrek. It was a fantastic recommendation. Wonderful experience here with Ellen, she made us feel welcome and made sure we were well taken care of. My co-workers and I had a delicious lunch. The pizza crust, sausage, sauce and ranch are homemade, and you can tell! The crust is almost New York style; very sturdy and with a mild flavor. The toppings (I had Frank's Special) were very tasty, and the coke + cherry syrup is hand mixed and absolutely delectable. The place is cozy, little older, and it's got "hole-in-the-wall" vibes, but that's perfectly acceptable for a quick, tasty lunch or dinner, honestly. We'll definitely be coming back here to enjoy another meal. Thanks again, Ellen!

    Awesome place for Pizza - perhaps the best place for pizza in South Denver. I love and swear by Ricos. However, I do not get pizza from Ricos. So, Frank is indeed the "Pizza King" as far as I am concerned and my family agrees! As well as the majority of people who have lived in Colorado for at least ten years. Being a Native, I have tried pizza from essentially everywhere in the State, and the ONLY pizza location that may give Frank a run for its money is Big Bills, but they are so far apart from each other that you must make the decision based on where you are located and ordering at the time.

    Garlic bread

    Excellent service! The place is clean. We ordered garlic bread and Frank's special pizza. Garlic bread with cheese on the top, bake to the perfection. so good!! The pizza is on thin crust, very tasty. I would be back!

    Chicken wings in Frank's hot sauce. The plate had a few more wings and a side of celery.

    After living in Denver area for decades and driving past this establishment countless times, I finally made it a point to stop here for dinner. I wish I had made the trip long before now. The restaurant was crazy busy because of the annual Englewood Cruise, which the restaurant helped sponsor. But that didn't stop the servers from being very friendly and attentive. Our party ordered wings with Frank's hot sauce, and a Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. Our photos give you just an idea since we dove into the food as soon as it arrived. The wings were meaty and cooked perfectly, and the homemade ranch dressing did not disappoint. The pizza was in a thin, cracker-like crust which was okay. But the tomato sauce was phenomenal and the toppings were fresh and high quality. I love a pizza where the cheese has melted and browned and that's what you will find here. All in all, the pizza was delicious and one I will come back to eat again. We found the restaurant itself to be cozy and loved the family-run vibe. Thanks for making our visit so worthwhile.

    Frank pizza king is An amazing establishment with excellent service. Walked in with an amazing greeting from the owner. She treated my friends and I like we were part of family. The menu was amazing as well lots of great items. When I was there I grabbed a 10inch along with some pizza fries I shared with my friend. And all I can say was the pizza fries was an amazing item for the menu! It was beyond cheesy with so much flavor. And the pizza I got was very cheesy with great flavors. I will most definitely tell all friends about this spot. They also offered a parking lot so parking is easy.

I ordered online ahead of time so when I got there all I had to do was simply pick it up. I arrived to it a bit earlier than the promised time so I would take some photos of its exterior and interior. To be frank I didn't even remember what it looked like inside out back then. Upon entering, the lady upfront at the reception greeted me politely. I told her I placed my order online and she wasted no time to go to the kitchen to check on my food. I didn't think it was ready yet so I took a good look at the dining area. While I was taking some photos, she walked back up to me with a bag that contained my food. "Do you need utensils?" is what she kindly asked to which I said no. The time was a bit before 5pm. The restaurant wasn't yet in the peak of the dinner rush period. Service was thus quick/swift. What I got me today were... -Focaccia rolls/knots ($2) -Caprese with a side (4oz) salmon add on (medium rare) ($19.75) -Side pesto cream sauce (large) ($4.50) Once I got home, I started my much anticipated dinner with the three items. I had a bag of Trofie pasta in my pantry so all I needed was some good pesto sauce for it. The sauce was light with a good amount of salt; nice balanced flavor indeed. It's nice that there is an option to buy just the sauce on their online portal. This truly convenienced my ability to cook my own pasta. When eating pasta, good bread is a must. Those garlic knot type looking focaccia rolls (6 pc) were a justifiably good accompaniments to the pasta with the pesto sauce. Caprese is also a staple as a starter in the cuisine. The side 4oz salmon was perfectly medium rare. Sorry Colore for being absent from your establishment for over 10 years. It sure was good to experience you again. It was a much needed visit to say the least. Those three items I got from you tonight made my Sunday dinner so special and perfect. Enjoyed it.

The inside of the restaurant had a mid-century modern feel that reminded me of my childhood home. After sitting down and reviewing the menu, my friends decided on the frozen rosé, while I stuck with a Coke since I was driving. The soda hit the spot, but my friends found the frozen rosé a bit bitter and weren't fans. For starters, we highly recommend the garlic bread and pepperoni rolls. The sauces served with them tasted fresh and were packed with flavor. After appetizers, we ordered three pizzas and a Caesar salad. The restaurant got busier after we sat down, and our food took a little over 30 minutes to arrive. When the pizzas finally came out, they were absolutely worth the wait. They were visually appealing, and we couldn't wait to dive in. I ordered the veggie pizza, and it was so good. Our friends got the White Tiger pizza and added prosciutto, while my husband ordered the mushroom pizza with added sausage. It took us a few years to finally try Joy, but I can confidently say they make an awesome pizza in a relaxed, chill atmosphere.
