Yes, it's as good as everyone says. Yes, the sauce is on top. Yes, the pepperoni is amazing (it's the only topping I ever get). It's hard to find a family as nice as the Aloe family. They have been an Ambridge institution for decades (for more than just pizza), and to have them serve up this amazing pizza that has been virtually unchanged through the years--well, you just don't get that in most places. Call ahead, especially on the weekends. People come from all over the area for a pie. Bring cash. Maybe get 2 pies, since I tend to eat half of it in the car on the way home. Living in the city for the past 9 years or so, I can't find very many pizza places that can hold a candle to the two Ambridge pizza titans (Franks & Police Station). It's definitely a fortunate place to be if you've got a craving for pizza. Also a very unfortunate place to be if you have that craving on a Sunday (WHICH HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) read more

Frank's is one of the BEST pizza places in the city!!! Definitely top 3!!! The wait times can sometimes be long.. An hour is average.. But it's definitely worth the wait for delicious, fresh baked pizza. It doesn't even compare to other places in the area!!! read more

Currently eating a leftover slice from our dinner! Extra cheese is amazing and the pepperonis they use are thick and smoked. 10/10

My favorite pizza ever. We get it about once a week, and every single time it is delicious and looks beautiful. It's not greasy, and you don't feel gross after eating more than you should. The freshest pizza around! By far the most consistent place I've been to. I can't recommend it enough!!! Just be cautious about the wait times - on busy evenings, it can be well over an hour. This holds a special place in my heart! read more

Hands down some of the best pizza I've ever eaten, and I've been all over. I maybe a little biased, being as this was the first pizza I was ever fed 29 years ago and I've been hooked ever since. About the shop; family owned and ran for over 50 years, takeout only, hours are a little odd, Tues-Th 6-10 Fr-Sat 5-10, I believe. Great prices, fresh homemade dough, good quality toppings in generous portions, sauce is light and sweet with the right amount of herbs, and is served on top of the cheese, bucking the usual cheese on sauce trend. Its just as close to perfect as I've found in a pizza for me, and I've even passed it on to friends who now drive an hour with me to get some Frank's!! Damon above said it best so Ill quote him "don't die without trying this pizza" read more

Like I've stated in many reviews before. My wife and I are pizza snobs. We try pizza all over the place and have done so for nearly 25 years. This is my number one pizza ever. Yes, we've ate Pizza House and Mineos but this is clearly better. The pizza is made upside down. This means the cheese is under the sauce. If you google this, all the great pizza places do this. It allows the sauce to hit your taste buds first. And believe me. You want this. Their sauce is amazing. All of their toppings are top notch. Thick pepperoni. Not those little cheap greasy disks. REAL pepperoni. The cheese is so good and the crust. Just go there. Don't walk. RUN. You'll thank me. Seriously. read more

I was a little disappointed after hearing such amazing things about this place. We got the classic cheese pizza. It was fine. It wasn't bad it wasn't great. Pretty average. We also got a sausage calzone which was average as well. We live about 20 minutes away and there are definitely better places closer to us. read more

Frank's Pizza is the BEST PIZZA on the Continent !! I've been all over America, and the crust, cheese and sauce combination here can't be beat !!! Everything is hand made and tossed up in the air LIVE !!!!!! What comes down is a taste that is out of this world !! This family pizza joint has tons of experience making and fine tuning the incredible TASTE of their PIZZA !! Enjoy !!! read more

Best pizza around in my opinion. The pepperoni is great! My husband and I debate on which is better, police station pizza or Franks. Franks to me is the best hands down! read more

Hands down the best pizza I've ever eaten! Every time I eat pizza at a new joint I compare it to Frank's. I've been going to Frank's since high school. I moved out of town almost 14 years ago, but make sure I stop and grab a pie when I'm in town. My mouth is watering as I type. read more

Such amazing pizza..sometimes you have to wait hours and it's so worth it. They put cheese under the sauce, and I always get extra cheese, which they put on top. Make sure you call and order ahead and time your arrival. read more

Frank's Pizzeria continues to deliver a top quality homemade pizza at a very reasonable cost. Frank's Pizza is made with love. The sauce on top of the cheese is the icing on the cake. Thick cut pepperoni only adds to the awesome flavor. The crust is crispy yet so soft on the inside. Simple ingredients made into a flavorful pie. Toppings are not baked on unless requested. Frank's is a weekly staple in our house. read more

I consider myself a bit of a pizza expert. I try "the best" pizza everywhere I go, doing a lot of research online. Frank's pizza in Ambridge is better than pizza I've had in New York or San Fran, or anywhere! It's unique sweet sauce is what makes all the difference in my opinion. The crust is always perfect. And all the other ingredients are a fresh, good quality. I've had people request I bring them a Frank's pizza - even carrying an unbaked one as my carry on. There's no competition in my opinion to other pizza places. read more

Genuinely one of the finest pies around. Make the trip to Ambridge to sample a slice. It's worth it!

Simply fantastic! This little family owned joint has the best pizza in the burgh! At first I was a little hesitant to try sauce on top especially since I am not much of a red sauce fan typically. I was immediately hooked after having one bite! I crave franks pizza regularly! Its that unique and delicious flavor that keeps me coming back! read more

Best pizza I've ever had hands down! I grew up nearby and always enjoyed their pizza. I left for years and always tried to plan a trip to get some pizza when in town. I've had pizza from all over including NYC and Chicago and still love my Franks! Now that I've moved back to the area it has become the family favorite! Perfect , fresh, thin crust, great sauce with just the right seasoning and the cheese.. So fresh and under the sauce of course! Always try to call when they open to order since the waits will be, even then, 45-90 mins. Heart shaped pizzas are great too and hit up the ATM beforehand.. Cash only! read more

very average pizza it was soggy in the middle and did not care for the bread at all jb

I agree!!! BEST Pizza ever!!! Love the white Pizza with olives!!!!. Each Friday has become religiously my treat!!!!

Great pizza but could you PLEASE open before 6pm...that is just INSANE!!!!! Even 4pm...people with kids eat dinner before 6pm.

Pizza unlike any other. I lived in Ambridge for a number of years and went to Frank's as often as I could. Family owned and operated for over 40 years, it is really incredible. Good people, good pizza. Call ahead the night before for quicker service as they do get very busy with the short time they are open. Always worth the wait, however. read more

Okay -- I am incredibly picky about red sauce / pizza sauce. I never like anyone's sauce because most people just don't know what they are doing when they season it. It either has too much spices or it tastes like plain tomato sauce. Well - not at Franks!!!!!!!!!!!! It was AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!! I have had a lot of different pizza places in the Pittsburgh area and I never really like them for one reason or another and don't ever go back. I will be going back to Frank's Pizzeria....a LOT!!! The outside of the place is so unassuming. But you go inside and it is very tiny and there are a bunch of guys making pizza -- but they know what they are doing. Its super cheap (Just under $11 for a 1 topping 14 inch pizza). They do only accept cash - so be ready for that. The pepperoni on the pizza was thick slices - which was really nice to see - it really added to the flavor of the pizza. In my opinion ---- EVERYONE must try this place!!!! I would have given 5 stars except it was alittle annoying they didn't accept debit card and there isn't much cheese on the pizza. So......if you like cheese -- be sure one of your toppings is EXTRA CHEESE. Other than that -- NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL! read more

Pizza is always good. Service is slower than I'd like. Lady at the front adding toppings was wiping her hands on her smock and fixing her hair, and sneezing and wiping her nose without washing her hands and handling the food. This grossed me out. read more

this might be the worst pizza Ive ever had. the toppings clearly come from a can. yuck. the crust was decnt and thats the only nice thing I have to say. sorry folks, I cant understand why you like this place. the sauce isnt good, the toppings suck (except for the pepperoni), and the cheese? I think was mostly made of plastic. thanks, but no thanks. I guess I have to drive to the city for decent pie. read more

franks has a great pizza..nice balance between sauce and cheese and when you bite into the cheese it is not like biting into a rubber tire like some places one of the best pizza places in the pittsburgh area read more
