A true hidden gem on the south side. Over the years, I've become a regular here because the pizza is SO DAMN GOOD!!! It's crispy, fresh and delicious. There's something about the sauce I can't even describe and if you like mushrooms, add them to your pizza, they're probably my favorite part. Even the leftovers taste good. What keeps me coming back though is the staff and overall vibe of the place. I love how the bartenders Dawn and Bill always remember my name. I love the wood paneling on the walls. I love being in charge of the jukebox, playing 80's hits and the occasional country song. I enjoy playing pool and actually don't mind that it's in the center of the place. It's cash only. There is an ATM though. If there isn't a game or sports on, they will be playing Ridiculousness, Impractical Jokers, the news or Wheel of Fortune. Everyone will be laughing, shouting out answers at the TV or bitching about corrupt politicians. Go on Monday for half price pizza. Go on Wednesday for free chicken and cheap drafts. Go on Friday for free hot dogs. Go to Frank's if you simply want to get out of the house. Tip your bartenders - they're good people. I've been coming here for years and I'll be returning for years. In fact, I'll be there next week! read more

My brother discovered Frank's Pizza after one of his coworkers recommended it. Ever since then, he's become a regular customer because of the good vibes, cheap eats, and drinks. He kept saying that he wanted me to try the pizza because he thought I'd like it. He said it reminded him of Fox's Pizza in Beverly, which is what we grew up on. Honestly, Frank's is somewhere I would've never gone without my brother's prompting. I don't frequent the area and rarely go to dive bars, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bar was quiet, clean, and comfortable. It's no frills for sure, but it's a bare-bones environment in the best way. My brother and a friend of ours were already there when I arrived. They'd already started a tab so, I just went to the bar and ordered. It was early (noon) so I didn't order alcohol. I only ordered Pepsi, but my brother and friend ordered drinks. They liked them and said they only cost $3.50. We ordered a large pepperoni and sausage pizza which arrived fairly quickly. it was piping hot too!! It was so hot that the cheese would just slide off the cracker-thin crust. The pizza was excellent though. My sister thought the cheese was too thick, but, I liked it. I thought it was fantastic. The meats were high quality and the sauce was tasty. Our friend liked it as well. The four of us ate the entire pizza. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, so the bar wasn't packed. There were a handful of regulars at the bar and a couple of people playing the slot machines. There was a baseball game playing on the TV, so it was fairly quiet. During peak hours I'd imagine that it gets pretty packed. The bartender and our server were cool, so I have no complaints about the service. I wouldn't say that Frank's pizza tastes like Fox's in Beverly, but I do understand why my bro made that comparison. They're both good for different reasons. I'd probably visit Frank's again in the future if given the choice. read more

Frank's Pizza House - Frank - Pizza Near Me - Dixmoor, Illinois

Good pizza but it used to be GREAT PIZZA!!!!! Lately blahhhh when it used to be YAYYYYY!!!! BUT I would still pull up order pizza & chill. The atmosphere is cool I sit at the bar guzzling the best Long Islands & munching on pizza while watching TV. Great after work or afternoon chill spot. I would go again but still wish the pizza tasted like it used to I think they changed the sauce but it wasn't broke PLEASE FIX IT read more

Found a long hair in my pizza Wasn't to happy about that and won't be eating food from them again read more

Walked into the strong smell of cigarette smoke which isn't a deal breaker. I actually thought it was pretty cool. The deal breaker was the black short haired female dog casually and comfortably walking freely in and around the kitchen. I think it was a Labrador. I think it was pregnant.... read more

My mom ordered a pizza for $25 she's 10 minutes away . She called and told 3 people including both owners that the pizza was cold. They did absolutely nothing about it in fact even told my mom she wasn't getting a refund . Do not eat here of you expect decent hospitality. 0/5 stars . read more

Last time I was there was after a bike run in 1993. I remembered how good the pizza was on that day (even though they had to feed about 150 Bikers) but never had the chance to stop back there. Found out they would deliver to my business which is in the area. Ordered today for everyone in the office online. Had to make a quick change so I called over there and was happy to find out the change was no problem for them. Tom brought our food himself and introduced himself. Pizzas were Great, Fresh, & Hot. Everyone here enjoyed the lunch. We now have another go to place for lunch for the office! Thanks Tom! read more

Been coming here since I was a child, family owned business! I'm almost 30. They sell slices as well, great customer service

I was looking for pizza while driving through Posen, via Yelp; this place showed up with multiple stars, so I called and ordered! Once I arrived the place looked like a dump but it had some of the best pizza I've consumed in the Chicago area. read more

It's a small bar , but their pizza is done the best I've had in a long time. They have great specials and during game day the drinks are pretty cheap. read more

Frank's seems perfectly fine as a local bar, but the one star review is for the pizza. This was one of the worst pizzas I've ever had, including frozen pizza. The crust was thin and hard, like cardboard, and flavorless. The sauce was watery. The cheese was somewhat burnt and detached from the pizza. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, which was pricey, and there was very little meat. We left most of the pizza on the platter, it was not worth eating even after spending money on it. We came because of the good reviews but upon reflection none are less than 2 years old. I can't speak for any of the other items on the menu, or how Frank's was 2 years ago, but don't go to Franks for pizza now. read more

Don't let the outside fool you, but this place is the spot for a thin crust pizza! Stopped here on a whim to get pizza for lunch one day. Inside was a bar with that old school feeling. It doesn't look like anything has changed which is pretty nostalgic. This place is cash only so I had to use the ATM that's inside the bar and pay the ATM fees (which I cannot stand, but I wanted a pizza pretty bad lol). There's a bell to use to place an order if you don't see anyone. Hit that bell and the lady came out from the back pretty fast. She told me it would take only 20 minutes and she was spot on! This pizza was steaming hot out of the oven when I came to pick it up. I normally let the pizza settle so I don't burn my mouth but I couldn't resist since it looks so good! The crust is thin and crunchy, but not too thin...just perfect. The sauce was zesty and sweet which is the way I like the pizza sauce to be. I got a sausage pizza with extra sauce and kinda well done...it was divine. Check out the pic :) read more

Frank's Pizza House - Thin crust sausage pizza with extra sauce...also asked to have the pizza baked a little well done - Pizza Near Me - Dixmoor, Illinois

Worst service I've ever had. Was told 20 minutes for my pizza and waited about 40. Then when presented that I hadn't got my pizza. They told me they burnt it without even checking. I was completely forgotten about and was told I'd get an upgraded pizza to comp me for my time that would be out in 15 more minutes. That took 30 minutes. And the pizza was a 3/10 read more

All I can say is wow, this pizza is fantastic! The crust, the sauce and fresh ingredients. This is traditional tavern at its best! To be clear this is a bar and inside seating is limited. If the weather is good, there is outside seating including a sand volleyball court and bags. They do take out if you would not dine in. Put this place on your list of Chicagos Best Pizza! read more

Frank's Pizza House - Great thin crust tavern pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dixmoor, Illinois

As good as it gets. I love Frank's Pizza and Pub. Classic thin-crust, tavern cut goodness made to order. It's unbelievable how good this is.

Ultra divey spot serving up some of the best pizza in the Chicago area. Staff can be a little curt, but welcome to the southside (that said, Dawn behind the bar is delightful). read more

This was the first time here! I wanted pizza and not too spend too much! I looked on Yelp and thus showed up with 5 stars. I had to check it out for myself! To my surprise it was cool good food not over priced and good place if you like pool and sports! I recommend this location. read more

Love their pizza as long as you order it "well done". It's a true secret of the south side, so keep it that way. It's seriously good pizza. Paper wrapping. Cash only. Cranky order takers with exaggerative Chicago accents. Everything you want in a pizza joint. read more

Frank's Pizza House - 1/2 pepperoni, 1/2 mushroom, onion, green pepper. Ordered "well done". - Pizza Near Me - Dixmoor, Illinois

It's not just drinks. It's not just food. There's something here for the whole family. The bar is in the front but there is covered outdoor seating with sand volleyball and more. There's a clubhouse for parties and lots of dinner specials throughout the week. In 53 years they've learned how to cover all the bases. I'm glad I came here. A nice secret getaway from the office now only me and the yelp family knows about my little secret hide away. Oh and the pizza is good too. I'm still debating that second ...hhhmmm Cash only but an ATM is located inside. I'm glad I came in. Yelp brought me in but Frank's staff, food and service will keep me coming back. read more

Horrible customer service. The women over the phone sounded like she had a attitude. I received my pizza to only find a long black hair in my pizza. I called for my money back the man didn't even want to give me my money back. I had to go return the whole pizza and then told me it could be anyones hair hes was only doing the return this one time, as if I was lying! well there wont be another time because I'm never doing business with them again.! read more

Great local pizza joint. Never been disappointed in the quality or service from the first pizza they hooked a c Now I'm a regular.

Pizza is great. Thin crust, sausage and cheese is very fresh, and the sauce is a tangy tomato pizza flavored sauce. Size of pizzas are larger than usual and pieces are cut in squares :). Generous toppings make this pizza one of the best on the South side. read more

Damn good pizza! There's a LOT of pizza places out there but Frank's is one of the Best! I've never been inside. so, i have no idea about the atmosphere, crowd, etc. But, if you want good pizza-- this is the place read more

Have gone here for many years and there pizza is one of the best. Prices are very reasonable!

I went to Frank's pizza because I read on yelp that it was "the best pizza in Chicago, period"... So I told my bf, "ok, let's go!!!" That review is currently under "not recommended". The food there is typical, bar food. It was greasy and basic and the pizza was subpar at best. My bf says he'll give the pizza a 2. I'm rating this a 3, because I do love the place. Bar/ touch tunes/ nice people/ nice locals!! They were all great! The drinks were cheap and got the job done. They have touch tunes so I got to be my own DJ!! It was only about 5 of us in there so I danced like no one was watching :) and I left the place with a smile on my face!! read more

Sorry, this was not very good pizza. I am not familiar with the establsihment but the pizza was all I was interested in and I am not impressed. I am sure it is a nice place but I will be ordering elsewhere in the future. read more

Best pizza in Chicago hands down..also you will get half off ur pizza if u eat in on Monday...they are amazing people there...I love this lil place... read more

Loved this pizza! Very thin crust-just darn good. Sauce just right. Definitely going back for more.

The best pizza in the area! Would recommend for delivery if you aren't in the mood to cook.. Friendly service and they accommodated my pick-up for me last minute on a Sunday night. read more

Customer service sucks! Ordered takeout. Not only did this lady got my order wrong it came with a side of ATTITUDE. If you're going to work with people at least have patience to work with them. WILL NOT GO BACK TO THEM. It was highly recommended but that attitude will keep me from going back. read more

This pizza was pretty good. I Did find the sausage was just a lil salty but the family said it was fine to them. Definitely would order here again. Only down part is they only take cash, no bills over 20.. read more

Last night I had the best pizza I've eaten since Ray's Pizza closed many years ago. I had asked for very thin, very crispy crust; it was, like Mary Poppins, "practically perfect." The toppings were quite generous and delivery was speedy. I'll definitely order from Frank's again. read more

This is a hidden gem. Get any pizza, ask for it well-done. I like to order at the bar, have a beer or two while carry-out is waiting. If you like Chicago-style, southside thin-crust tavern pizza, what the heck are you waiting for? Ya gotta try it! read more

Frank's is my "Go To" spot for pizza on the Island(Blue Island) and the prices can't be beat on food or drinks!

Best pizza in the area. I recently moved to Indiana, and I miss Frank's pizza terribly. Nothing compares to Frank's!

I am originally from the North Side of Chicago. I am use to my pizza being completely different up there. OH MOTHER OF GOD. This pizza is soo good. It makes you feel soo guilty but you can't help but eat another and another slice until the whole thing is gone. Every time we order their pizza I know I will have to hit the gym extra hard the next day. It is worth it. Call them now, eat away and gain some weight. read more

I went for a family size pizza on a Saturday night around 7:30pm and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes which it was ready in 25mins. Pizza was awesome!!!!! I waited at the bar for my 25 minutes while my pizza cooked. We sat down and it was 10 mins before we got serviced than I ordered 2 mixed drinks N 2 domestic bottled beers. I looked on the website which stated happy hours on Saturday's was from 7 pm- 9 pm $2.00 domestic bottled beers and $3.00 mixed drinks. My total purchase was around $25.00, I asked the really long haired bartender I thought these drinks were on sale for Saturday's N her response was maybe it's on sale on Tuesdays. I showed her the website which started happy hour and her response was maybe that's a different location. I showed her what the site said and she responded she didn't know anything about it and still changed me around $25.00 for something I thought should have been around $11.00. I'm not sure why I was charged more when there were lots of other people there watching the Sox's game and she kept pouring beers for them. But if the website is not correct it should be changed or trained bartenders are in order on proper customer service. Once again the pizza was awesome but the customer service at the bar was awful she never came to see if we needed anything and my rating is 5 stars for Franks pizza but for franks bar 2 stars. read more

Once you have Frank's pizza- nothing will compare! The kids talk about it and can't wait to be in the area to have it again! The only thing better than the pizza is the atmosphere and the people there-loving, family run business where everyone who walks in has a friend! read more

They need to expand their delivery service past Harvey. Service was quick and friendly. Parking lot was well lit and clean. Probably wouldn't dine in, it's definitely more of a dive bar. Sausage needs a little more flavor, otherwise decent pizza. read more
