    A great place to stop by for a quick breakfast or meal, with their great donuts making anyone happy with their dessert treat! They make their own donuts on the premises, and very busy at almost all hours! Whenever we are in the area, a stop at Frankie's is always a treat! They do sell a plastic ziploc bag of donuts for a nice low price. Frankie's is no longer open 24 hours, having changed their hours a few months ago, now closing at midnight. This donut and pizza diner has been a iconic landmark for over 40 years!!

    The donuts are delicious!!!! This was the FIRST time my husband and I tried a Paczki donut that was recommended by our Uber driver and he even stopped us here on the way to the train station and it was sooooooo good! I am not lying when I say that this was the BEST cup of coffee we have ever had! We are all the way from Texas!! If you are in the area, definitely stop in!

    Yelp. Went to Frankie's, y'all done sold all the donuts and opened 25/8? Well, that's what the sign says, but where are the donuts. Its 3:00 pm! Regular glaze? Out. Chocolate? Out. Well, I will take the bow tie and a red velvet cake donut. Now, this bow tie thang is moist and good. Cake donut is okay. You are delicious. Lady at the checkout, you could smile, since y'all out of stuff! I think a smile would make me at least feel better. We came back! Now, I see you neutral to the locals too. Cause, I sense attitude from this lady in the back. Girl, I'm from out of town, learn to give every customer love cause these donuts are mediocre. Y'all already know, Imma leave it.

    Some great donuts! I went around 11pm and was surprised to see they had a ton of fresh donuts available. The donuts themselves were delicious too. I ordered a chocolate glazed and a peanut. Very good donuts.

    Hey Frankie...what's the secret ingredient?! These donuts really hit the spot. When planning our trip to Niagara Falls, Frankie's made it to the top of our list with it's impressive menu of sweet doughs. Our first trip (yes there were two), we got an assorted box of 6...I think my boyfriend and I could agree we liked all of them besides one. Not too bad of a ratio, right?! There was no way we were leaving town without bringing a box home, so we got a dozen...they were that good. Didn't hurt that the establishment has a "buy 2, get 1" donut deal that seems to be offered daily. Additionally I tried the BEC on a roll...I'm more of a savory gal in the AM. I don't know if they make the rolls in-house or what, but it was amazing! And so was the sandwich, as a whole. Now for the store front: you walk in and it just has that small town vibe. Quite small, but also semi-blocked off for covid safety. 2pm Regulars chatting it up over coffee. It's what you'd hope to expect from a shop that's open "25/8."

    Looks like a place out of the movies of a local joint because that's what it is, a local joint. The service was a bit slow, they were not very busy. The pizza was stunning and the donuts are mostly cake style which is my favorite, top shelf.

    The cream filled and covered in coconut was my favorite. Cream was light and so was the donut. The toasted coconut covering it was the perfect touch. Boston cream was also good. Perfect place for homemade style donuts.

    To be honest I went here because Paula's Donuts was closed Early. Well i started googling best donuts in the Buffalo area i found frankie's it had a good rating so i went there the area was sketchy but ill tell you they got the best Donuts that every had in Upstate NY. It was a bit unorganized but once was i tasted that donut All the ill feelings had about this place went away. I would definitely recommend this place for nice fresh donuts of different assortments.

    Red velvet !

    Love that they are open 24/7 (25/8)! Great coffee and a huge selection of doughnuts. Went with red velvet today and a giant coffee. Piping hot, the way that I wanted it to,and incredibly fast service. Pizza is my weakness, so I also love that I can get a slice at any hour of the day. Yes, pizza for breakfast is ok too! Have to try the breakfast sandwhiches. They have your traditional styles but they serve them on kaiser rolls!

    Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had. Small quaint place. Breakfast sandwich and the bagels were very good. The coffee was great too. I wish I had one of these back home.

    Their donuts are blah. Nothing special. But they do cook a good stick to your ribs breakfast.

    Came here twice in 24 hours if that tells you how good the donuts are! The peanut jelly, angel cream and maple were favorites in our group!

    I was really excited to try this place and looking forward to the sweet sauce. I actually drove out…read moreof my way for it. I was let down. First off I will say, no complaints on the price or customer service. The woman was so friendly and personable it made me not want to leave a review since it's not a good one. She was a gem; the pizza: not so much. And judging by the reviews here, maybe it was just an off moment. The sauce wasn't so sweet as I wanted. But that's subjective. However, what I hated the most was my slices were soggy and cold. I mean so soggy I couldn't even eat my last slice. And cold it should not be, as I ate it in my car on the street because I live 35 mins away. I really wanted to love it here after my great customer service experience but unfortunately my experience with the pizza itself was not as great as everyone else's. If I ever happen to have it again (I go to Lewiston often), and have a better quality slice, I will update review but sadly it missed the mark for me.

    I don't get to "Pisa Often." Which is a shame because I am leaning towards saying Italia is the…read moremost beautiful country on earth. But that would be cheesy and I might change my mind tomato morning. Then again, of crust, I may not. Someone in media told me Italia might become the official "world beauty capital" but I don't want to name my sauce. And I don't put salt on my Italian food btw, I put pepperonly. What to get: a slice of Pizza for around a dollar. Also if you're at a local Greek place, I recommend ordering your "Pita Open." But this place doesn't serve Open Pitas despite the name. It only serves one thing. And that is: alcohol to minors. Oh wait. That's the liquor store across the street. What I meant to say was: PIZZA. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is more delicious than ANYTHING you will ever eat in Pisa. As we know, someone that drinks as much water as I do... Pisa lot. But we also have exceptionally clean systems which allow our taste buds to properly savour and enjoy the exquisite tastes such as that of the cheapest and most yummylicious Pizza you will ever try in your life. What I am trying to tell you is... THIS MIGHT WELL BE THE BEST TASTING PIZZA IN THE WORLD. It is completely different from the doughy likes of Imperial and Mattina's and Franco's (prob the best 3 in the Buffalo area). It is nothing like the crisp enormous NYC slice. It is nowhere near the deep dish made famous by Shy-town. It's something all unto itself. St. Louis claims to own the "square slice" but their version has NOTHING on this. It's AMAZING. Niagara Falls is now officially (I have decreed it so) the owner of the square slice, and this little gemtastic gem is the heart and soul of what NF Pizza is. Ask ANYONE from NF and the chances are they will tell you that if you only ever have one slice in your life, have one of these. Surely the hype can't be matched by the product? Yes it f***ing well is. Trust me. So a slice is $1.25 and it's small, but it's so yummy that you won't care how small it is. And if that's an issue, just get 2 or 3 or 7 or 27 or 69. The bad news about this place is all about availability and there are several issues. (a) They close ALL SUMMER LONG because it's too hot inside, yet they still pay their employees for the duration. (b) They are ONLY open on Thu-Fri-Sat-maybe Sun (can't remember), which means for three days a week even in snowy season, you are SOL. And I don't mean a bright star warming up the Milky Way in Spanish. (c) They run out of pizzas, or are all booked up, so if you want a full pie you should call WAY in advance to place the order... but slices so far, for me, have been easier to come by as a walk in. (d) I don't think you can even walk in and order a full pizza anymore. They do keep tons of slices ready to go and they are nice and hot, so that is a bonus. And I paid for one, and they gave me two. How lovely is that? I know it's not in a great area but WHO CARES. This type of area needs your support more than fancy burbs anyway, and nothing's going to happen to you from stopping by here. This is America. It's not like anyone carries guns or anything. So yes, this is one of the best slices in WNY, possibly even #1, and it is one of the best in the world. Drive very fast (don't get a ticket) to Viagra Falls immediately, and purchase one of these. Get a Viola's Steak and Cheese too. You don't have to thank me. I am so glad that I have a new reason to visit the Viagra Falls. I used to not like it because it's full of horny old men, hence the name. But then as I said in another review, my friend Alice moved up there. So now I go fairly regularly to Cialis.
