    As soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted with a "hello" and of plenty pizza/ pasta aromas...not that I could tell them apart. Also, all hot and bubbly cheeses from tĥe oven. You order and pay at the register, they have 3 ways of ordoring...walk in, online, and. Off to the side they have a running log òf In prògress and ready ordeŕs. I was astonished to see our order ready so quicķly. I got the lg cheesèsteak and this was the best one I have ever had. Ŕaw onìons and provolone. The bun was fŕesh and the entire sub was massive!. Hubby went for thè cold cut sùb his all time favorite. It was standard and again, massive. The staff was well prepared in making everything on the menu and remained busy nearly condstantly, so customers never went by the wayside from ordering to receiving. Seating was fairly limited and every bit of space was in use. Free parking in front of the short strip. Check out the bathroom. We will be back for sure. .

    First time ordering from Franks. Heard the rave so been wanting to try. So ordered the Italian cold cut, fries and pizza. First I eat out often and gotta say it was one of the best subs I ever had . The flavor was so point on. Every bite was so tasteful. The roll was so fresh omg the Best. The fries again wow. Never had that type of fries very good. The pizza was everyone's rave but I have to say it was ok. I had better but not hateful.

    Note the disproportionate amount of meat and cheese to bread-- and this is WITH the addition of pepperoni. This joke was over $20.00!

    After seeing all the hype recently I decided to have a go at Franks. Now bear in mind that I am no supreme taster, but I still know when food tastes good and when it doesn't, so bear with me, gentle reader, as we negotiate the twists and turns that make up Frank's Pizza and Pasta. After seeing the TikTok videos extolling the virtues of what many are considering "The Best Cheesesteak in Town" (TT's words-- not mine), I thought perhaps I'd roll down there from White Marsh, since I had business on that side of town today. I had called in my order from the car on the way there so that it would be ready for pickup when I arrived. My order consisted of a 12" Cheesesteak with extra meat ($21.99 + $3.25 for the extra meat bringing the total to $25.24), a 12" Italian Cold Cut, add pepperoni ($18.55 + $2.00 for pepperoni comes to $20.55 for an Italian Cold Cut. Yes, you read that right), and lastly a 16" Cheese pizza ($22.00). I wanted to order a Veal Parm sub, which is my absolute favorite sub, but I was disappointed that currently they do not stock veal, even though it's on all of their menus online and in house. Bummer. I was told by the very sweet counter girl that it would be about 30 minutes. A bit long I thought, but hey, I can wait. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find that it's just an average, nondescript strip plaza type establishment, and fairly worn-down looking to be honest. I don't know why I was expecting more, but I'm open. The parking is tight since there are so many businesses there, and it's not very comfortable to get in straight off a very busy Belair Road, but I managed to do it and find a spot on the lot. My arrival was a Friday early afternoon, so it was only moderately busy inside the restaurant. I waited in my car another 15 minutes since the girl told me it would be 30 minutes to get my order. Right around 30 minutes I went in and having the slightly nagging feeling of being ripped off, I paid for the order. Now, one thing this place does that I really fuckin hate is that the card swiper has that "Would you like to leave a tip?" thing. I don't think I should have to tip for someone handing me a bag. In fact it pisses me off, especially when the cashier girl that will be handing you your bag can see if you do not leave a tip. So, against my better judgement, I left 10% on top of what was already in my opinion a far overpriced meal. I felt abused. But I remind myself that I asked for it, so let's move on.... After being handed my receipt, I was told that my order will be ready soon. There are at least a dozen employees back there, all working in a sort of chaotic confusion. I overhear a lot of "Did you make this?", "Is that ready?", "Huh? What?" etc... Seems to be some language barrier issues also. Bear in mind that 30 minutes plus have passed. I'm seeing pizzas go out that look dry and rather average, not real appetizing. I'm scared. I took a seat and waited. And waited. And waited some more. 55 minutes total have passed, and I am called. Whoopsy. They forgot to make the Italian Cold Cut. 15 more minutes pass, and finally I'm out the door. I immediately inspected the pizza and ate part of a slice. As my instincts had warned, the pizza was just meh. Bland on a good day, with no seasoning and a floppy thin crust that tasted of nothing. In fact, trying to discern any flavor was impossible. At the price charged it was a monstrosity. I thought about how damn good the Domino's Deluxe Pizza was that I had ordered a week ago, At home, the cheesesteak was good-- but not outrageously good, especially for the mind-numbing price of $25.24. I've had cheesesteaks just as good, if not better, for much less (Middle River Pizza I'm talking to you). The real disappointment was yet to come, in the form of the Italian Cold Cut sub. The small proportion of meat and cheese filling to the overly large roll was completely off. Not to mention as soon as I unwrapped it, a coarse, curly black hair made itself known right in the middle of the sub. We were both disgusted and of course the sub was thrown out. A 100% waste of $20.55. See photos (Bear in mind reader, a Wawa 10-inch Classic Italian Cold Cut WITH EXTRA MEAT AND EXTRA CHEESE is only $9.99 and it's so big and full of meat and cheese that you can't even pick it up). So there you have it. Curiosity satisfied. Wallet gouged. Is the cheesesteak good? Sure, Exceptional? No. Worth the price? Never. Will I go back? Probably not, considering you can get as good or better for less elsewhere. And that tipping thing... pisses me off. I don't like feeling ripped off, and I really don't like to eat hair. tl;dr: Franks has a decent cheesesteak but at a premium price. Don't believe the hype, better or equal can be had elsewhere for less. Other foods show poor quality/value. Long wait times, card swipe begs for tipping suggestions for mere cashiers where there is no table service, it is all self-service. Hygiene questions arise with hair found in food.

    9" Small Cheese Steak with onions & extra meat
    Allen B.

    First seeing the restaurant from the outside, it seems like nothing extraordinary, but once you step in you're hit with nothing but great smells & smiles on everyone in the restaurant. I had ordered ahead via Toast, grabbing a cheesesteak on a seeded roll with extra meat, onions and a light spread of mayo--assuming the seeded roll would be very crusty & rigid and need the spread to moisten it a bit. I was wrong! The roll housing the fillings was perfectly soft and able to contain all of the meat juices and cheese throughout the sandwich. I got a 9" small with extra meat assuming that's how they're presented on their social media page, and it's more than enough for one person. I'd recommend NOT getting extra meat unless you're coming with a huge appetite! I've never had a proper cheesesteak in my life until today. Truly deserving of the awards they've received. Will be back whenever in the area as a treat; gotta walk this current one off by the waterfront lol Thank you all at Frank's Pizza & Pasta for a great first experience!

    Highest rated pizza in Baltimore according to Dave Portnoy and I believe that is accurate. It is a bit small and nothing fancy but if pizza is what you want this is a great place to get it. Good char, structure, and flavor.

    Hector S.

    Cheese pizza was okay as I preferred the margarita pizza. The cheesesteak was solid and an excellent choice if you visit this small pizzeria. Depending on your preference of pizza you can like this or just think it's okay.

    Franks, no please, you were the best NJ style pizza in MD and I got some burnt AF pizzas. Disappointed in Lake Evesham

    Alex A.

    For sure a contender for best cheesesteak in maryland. They're using the coopers sharp white cheddar and the seeded amaroso style roll. I don't particularly like the big square size that they cut their onions. I personally prefer eatliano in Columbia but franks is certainly a top 3 for me. The pizza was great, good char, medium flop, and solid sauce. Service was good although do expect it to be busy since they've been voted best cheesesteak in bmore.

    I walked in and it was packed with so many people that I wanted to walk out but I stayed on line. The service was not quick and not slow. There are a few seats but you're better off getting your food to go. The veggie pizza was delicious and they sell pizza slices and whole pizzas. The prices are pretty high but kind of worth it. There's not a lot of parking for the customer volume but Popeyes next door has parking. They take cash and card.

    Frank's "Gourmet Pizza" with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage & Mushrooms
    Hector S.

    This is the only place in Baltimore that offers cheesesteak subs prepared just like they do in Philly with Cooper Sharp cheese, thin-sliced ribeye, long green peppers, but with sesame seed rolls and grilled onions! The taste is actually better than most of the Philly places because I think Franks adds just a touch of meat seasoning. The flavor pops in your mouth with an energy that says "Hey, you don't have to drive to Philly for superb cheesesteak!" You can watch them prepare the cheesesteak subs, and it's like you stepped into a Philly joint! The positive energy and vibes from the cooking and serving staff is palpable and genuine! You can tell they love to prepare the best-tasting food they can, to go right into your mouth! Their pizza is most excellent too, as also reviewed by Dave Portnoy, but their cheesesteak is, IMHO, even better than Angelo's (Philly) and DelRossi's (Philly). My Philly fave cheesesteak vendor is still Gooey Looey's, but Baltimore's reigning champion of cheesesteak subs, is humble, little Frank's in Parkville/Overlea! Oh, and the steak pinwheel for only $5.99 is a sleeper hit! You get the flavor of a Philly cheesesteak, plus the semi-delicate pastry of the turnover style dough--fantastic combo of textures and flavors!

    First time!

    Mission accomplished! First visit called for their famous cheesesteak subs! Three of us ordered and savored. One of us said they liked real mozzarella cheesesteak subs. Some may like it better than Frank's Cheese Au Jus. I liked it just great, with nearly 20 minutes to wait as most customers wanted cheesesteaks. Funny, considering Portnoy was big on their pizza, which will be me next item to try next visit! Ambiance? Well worn and comfortable. Great to finally get in and enjoy this greatness as the "One Bite" greatness lives on. Try !

    I've heard great things about Frank's. We stopped in on a weekday while in the area. It's a small spot in a little plaza. You order at the counter and there is a small amount of seating at the front and at the back of the restaurant if you want to eat in. We went at non-peak time; there was still a bit of a line for takeout and some people eating inside, but the line went quickly and there were awesome staff at the counter and in the dining area to clean tables and make sure orders were taken quickly. We decided to try a small pizza with mushrooms and sausage. It came out hot and fresh. With my first bite, I nodded at my bf with enthusiastic happiness. This pizza is the best I've had since moving to Baltimore, and in the top 5 of pizzas I've had overall. The cheese was good quality and perfectly melty, the sauce was a great ratio on the pizza and had a great flavor, the toppings were generous and good, and the crust was delish. Overall, Frank's is worth the hype I've heard! I've heard their cheesesteaks are great also and saw another customer was eating and can't wait to go back and try that!

    My aunt and I decided to try Frank's Pizza and Pasta and they did not disappoint! My aunt ordered the steak and cheese, and you could instantly tell they used a high-quality cut of steak--it was packed with flavor. I went for the Honey Boo Detroit-style pizza and also tried the Buffalo Chicken Pinwheel. Both were absolutely delicious--fresh, cheesy, and full of flavor. The spot itself is on the smaller side, but there is seating available. Since they tend to get busy, I recommend going right when they open for the best experience. The customer service was also excellent--the staff was friendly, welcoming, and gave us great recommendations on what to try. If you're looking for fresh pizza, amazing cheesy goodness, and a place that truly takes pride in their food, this is definitely the spot. I'll definitely be visiting again!

I'm still looking for a smooth sauce for some chicken parm, but no worries since the menu here has plenty of different sauce options! I enjoyed the chicken francese. The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

All of the baked goods displayed on the counter entice you to indulge in a sweet treat before ordering a pizza. My first visit I just settled on some cookies and a jalapeno cheddar bagel, since I was on my way elsewhere for dinner. But let me tell you how the chocolate chip cookie instantly became one of my favorite bakery cookies. And the bagel was decadent for my morning breakfast, covered in cheddar cheese with those crispy edges that bake at the base of the bagel. On my second visit I settled on their corn pizza since it was a different flavor combination, and it tasted like a slice of summer. Corn, basil, and ricotta, and you can't go wrong. And the staff has always been really pleasant with each visit. I'm a sucker for baked goods and a wood-fire pizza and I can say Baltoz has stolen my heart.
