    Sausage, mushroom, and tomato pie
    Adam B.

    As a native New Jerseyan and Chicagoan who has spent much time in both NYC and Connecticut, I know good pizza when I have it. And I know pizza hat's made by people who would like to pretend they are making the real thing, but in reality, it tastes as generic as your typical national chain delivery joint. Frank's knows what they're doing with making a great pie. I called ahead to eat in and the pizza was served to me maybe fie minutes after I sat down. The problem was they put pepperoni on the pizza instead of sausage, which is what I had actually ordered. They did apologize, and they immediately remade the pizza. The crust is quite thin, but still thick enough where you can get a nice chew on it, essential for any thin crust pizza. And I am a big fan of that thinly sliced Italian sausage, the kind that looks like shaved gyro meat. The tomatoes were sliced a little uneven, some thick, some thin. I wiped out 4 slices easily, it was a really good pizza. I do live in Newport News, but if I'm in the area, it's definitely worth stopping in to grab a pie.

    Frank's Pizza 1 is a SoNo tradition that has been around for decades, four of them to be precise. This Italian restaurant is located in a depressed area of the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake in the rundown Southgate Plaza. The huge parking lot for the shopping center is usually pretty empty so parking will never be a problem though the lot is in pretty sad shape. Somehow in this less than favorable setting, Frank's Pizza 1 has thrived for many years and is a local favorite. They've been putting out some really delicious Italian food for the past 40 years. I've been to Frank's many times but in the last five or six years. I can't really explain why it had been so long but my wife and I were visiting a relative in the area and when the conversation turned to dinner I immediately thought of Frank's. I pulled up the Yelp app and called to place an order for a large (16 inch) Frank's Special Pizza. Ordering over the phone was quick and easy. I walked through the restaurant's front door about twenty minutes later and was greeted immediately. The place smelled amazing with all the wonderful Italian food aromas wafting around the room. My olfactory senses were titillated. I didn't have to wait long as they pulled my order out of the big pizza oven a few minutes later. My pizza was still fresh and hot when I got back to the house. The Frank's Special Pizza is topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. The topping portions were generous and when I took the first bite the combination of flavors formed a perfect symphony in my mouth. I loved everything about it. The slightly charred crust, the wonderful tomato sauce, all that gooey cheese and the amazing toppings. My wife and her sister had never had food from Frank's but they really enjoyed it so this definitely won't be their last time. I'm already looking forward to my next pizza. Frank's has a full range of Italian menu items and everything is really good but for me it's all about the pizza. If you dine in they offer beer and wine by the glass. This locally owned and operated business was established in 1980 and the fact that they have survived and even thrived in this location for so long is a testament to their ability to make amazing Italian food at reasonable prices. The employees are friendly and pleasant, they make you feel appreciated. I will be returning soon.

    This is as hometown no frills regulars pizza you can get. Now a days(according to locals) its in hood central. I been here for lunch and dinner and there is a different vibe. The pizza ??? ZOMG! It is the fucking bomb!! Serious. Im a giant pizza lover and this is really really good. Worth the trip. Even with the time change it getting dark at 530pm.... it's worth the trip. If you are in Chesapeake area... do yourself a huge favor and stop here. You can watch the guy flip your dough fresh fresh. He atmosphere looks like they been here for a very long predictable comfortable long time. I heard they are moving across the street for 2020. I'm sure the food will be the same high quality as it is now. I'm not kidding. It's really really good!!!

    How are their prices?

    The prices are very reasonable. They are what I would expect to pay at any Italian restaurant.

    I usually love all pizza & maybe it was just an off night for this place but it was not what the…read morereviews stated. 1st - placed order at 6:01 and finally got the delivery at 7:13 - I know it was dinner rush but over an hour for a delivery of 1 pizza & cheese bread only 2 blocks away is ridiculous. 2nd - I did like the cheesy garlic bread was flavorful and made with real chopped garlic cloves but the marinara was watery & might have come from a can. Just didn't pair well Finally the pizza itself - I know some of you are gonna say it's because I ordered pineapple on my pizza but the online menu said "best seller" so I tried it. The sauce is extremely bland & just had no taste or flavor. There are corp pizza places with better tasting sauce. On top of all this, the cost was $36 for one 16" pizza, cheese bread & a can drink - well over priced for the value of food I always like to give 2nd chances so I may try them again if I'm in the area but I'm also sure there's other local spots that might have better consistent good food for the price.

    Not fancy, just a simple NY style pizza spot in Chesapeake. I got the pizza special which is 2…read moreslices of pizza and a fountain drink for $10.65. Hits the spot and not very pricy. It seems popular for lunch as three other people came in while I was waiting for the pizza to come out. Pro tip: the shakers with the cheese are in the refrigerator with the soft drinks and the pepper flakes are in a basket by the soda machine.
