Had noticed the place a few times, while driving. Looked like a small family run pizzeria, so I decided to give it a try. Ordered half pepperoni (for daughter), half sausage, green pepper onion for myself thin crust. We both thought the pizza was good, liked the crispy crust. Although I took it to go, I liked the dining room. Reminded me of those small pizzeria spots from when I was a kid. Staff was super friendly. read more

I definitely enjoyed their pizza and they have a $5 off deal on Wednesdays. Always good to save a few dollars. We ate in and the place is very small and simple, but comfortable. BYOB, so I brought my own beer. I prefer that myself, rather than paying $8 for a can of domestic beer. Pizza had a nice, thin, crispy crust. Very good sausage. Onions were on point. Not skimpy and not overdone. If I lived closer, I'd visit them more, especially on Wednesdays to save a few bucks! read more

Yummy pizza. Smaller size pie, like 8 inch, for just a little. But they go bigger if you need it. Very accommodating. Only downside is they don't sell by the slice and they don't open until 4pm. read more

Simply the best pizza in Chicago, and the owner is super nice and always working! Thin crust sausage and bacon will delight you! Reasonable prices and the restaurant is a throw back to the 80s, this kind of place won't be here in another 20 years so go get that pizza now! read more

Never been to Chicago but i had the great pleasure of speaking to Dennis Prosio and he was just one of the kindest people to speak to. I live in denver and as soon as I get a chance to visit that great city this will be the first place on my list!! read more

Pizza and the pasta were not to our liking. The crust was tough and the ingredients slid off The manicotti was bland and the lasagna was half meat sauce and little cheese. read more

We have recently started ordering food from Franks and it's been consistently good. They where spot on for us during the super bow yesterday and all our guests really enjoyed the food. We will continues to order food from Franks. The pizza is excellent and fried chicken is delicious. I'm sure the rest of the food is good and we're looking forward to trying it out. read more

I grew up across the street from Franks....now live In California.. nothing compares to Franks and I really miss it!!! The thin crust well done is my go to pizza. This was 1970 era.... read more

Delicious sauce, delicious crust. The tall tale sign of a great pizza. Recommend this place!

We got our son to Laser Quest and after that, I was looking for a pizzeria that we can bring a cake to sing the happy birthday to our son after spend some money on pizza. I called the place and immediately they accepted and I booked to be there in a couple of hours. When we got there, we were received by Leo who was very helpful and attentive with our party. He went far and beyond providing us with the plates for the cake and he was always pending in case we need something else. Now, the food. We ordered to XL pizzas including the "Franks 7 special" and I have to say that both of them were delicious! Thin crust and a great balance of cheese and ingredients. I fully recommend this place for your upcoming events. I always try to support the local business instead of being spending my $$$ in chains that get the money out of the community. I feel really good about spent my $$$ here. The service was great. Recommended read more

Old school, Chicago pizza place. Best way for me to describe it. Ordered over the phone and went to pick it up. Had no idea what the place was going to look like. Has a great old sign out front, and the inside is dark and out dated. But the pizza is pretty good. It's so old school, they don't even use a box! It's in a bag and on a cardboard disk. Awesome. You never see that anymore and it was a throw back. Not sure I'll order from here again, not because the pizza was bad, just so many other options close to my home. But I do recommend you give it a shot! read more

Okay first time ordering and will never do it again. I called 4 times got out in hold for over 6 mins. Than tried again got some guy who took my order. He never read it back or told me the total. Got our delivery and pizza was cold like it was left out for awhile, appetizer was cold and wrong pizza called back to let them know this was not what I ordered, I was not mad or upset I knew there were busy so she said they would correct it. Got a phone call back from 630-205-6660 the guy was like I took your order and you never said stuffed pizza. I know I did say it because my whole family heard me say it. Than he was like I repeated your order (he did not nor did he give total) and he became confrontational. Listen I have been in customer service jobs all my life..I get it but...you never call your customers back just so you can call them a liar. which is what this jerk was insinuating. Really for a first time customer this is how you treat them? Really? So it was okay to take my money for cold pizza and appetizers and I even tipped. I should have ordered from Sorrento's on Harlem but wanted to try somewhere new. I have never been so insulted and I do not feel I should have to argue with anyone especially if I am spending my hard earned money. So if anyone reads this Frank's Pizza I give a 4 out of 10, it was cold and service was horrible and pizza was nothing to brag about. My kids who love pizza only ate like 2 pieces each. That says a lot. I will never stray again from Sorrento's on Harlem. Thanks Frank's for making that decision easy for me. So I will tell my friends, I will Instagram, Facebook, oh yeah Google reviews as well. Ciao. read more

Really good pizza! Excellent sauce, good cheese, good mushrooms. Well prepared and hand made, which is a huge bonus. A little on the pricey side for pizza, but it was a good pie. We are going to try them again for pasta and chicken and will update afterward. So far, so good. Hard to find really good 'za in this area. No shortage of lousy to so-so pies, so this is a treat. Thanks Frank! read more

I have known about this place for a long time and finally went in to try the pizza tonight with my wife. I have been drawn by the 50's era neon sign outside for a long time. The interior is small but cozy. We ordered the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer and a ham and pineapple pizza. The cheesy garlic bread was fantastic. It was perfectly toasted and super cheesy and awesome- highly recommended. When our pizza arrived, it looked delicious and I am happy to report that it tasted as good as it looked. Nice big chunks of ham, great sauce, and perfect thin crust. The only downside was the wait. We didn't have to wait long for the appetizer, but the pizza took quite a while. However, it was worth the wait. There is also an antique scale/fortune telling machine in there that I wanted to run away with. For one cent you can pick which question you want answered, and it will answer it for you. The waitress didn't understand my fascination with it. It was awesome. read more

I went to high school around the corner from there and have been going there since the '70's. I STILL know the phone number by heart. I love this place and wish I could get back there more. I'm in Florida now but always drop in when I'm back. Thank you for being a staple in the neighborhood. read more

I usually order delivery from here and Franks special is some of the best pizza I've ever had ! I did venture to go into the restaurant recently . I was with family and a tad nervous bc I know it's a hole in the wall. Franks is great! It's small, no frills type of place and their food is delicious . The people attending are also super sweet! Check em out ! read more

Very good pizza but not when it comes with hair in it. I would never buy from here again. That's very unsanitary and I don't think is right for me to be worried if I would find another hair in my food. I didn't bother going back and returning it since I'm no longer interested in buying from them. read more

When traveling, my family and I always make a point to try local mom and pop shops. Found Frank's pizzeria on yelp and decided to give it a try. First impression, definitely a mom and pop shop. It had the appeal of an old Italian pizzeria, colors, ambiance, tables and all. Ordered what they were known for which was their thin crust pizza, wings, ribs and also a roast beef sandwich. Pizza was great, dough had a chewy consistency, veggies on pizza were fresh. The chicken wings surprised me though. They were amazing! Loved the crunch of the skin, and the moist meat was to die for. Absolutely recommend the chicken wings! In a nutshell, I would recommend this place. Just don't expect the thrills and frills of a fancy restaurant. This place has a homey feel, with great authentic food. read more

I'm solely rating this place on the pizza not the dining experience. My friend and I ordered a small stuffed pizza to pick up and I was designated to be the pick up person lol.. My first time entering this place I thought I went in the wrong door!! This place is the definition of my term "a whole in the wall" meaning very small but great place to eat!!! Not the most pleasant to the eyes but rather romantic and SMALL and cozy! Any how I arrived pizza wasn't ready yet they girl who came to attend me was very friendly and told me it would be about 10 mins. So I waited for just about 10 mins pizza was fresh and hot!!! I must say it sucks that the special they have on Monday's doesn't apply to the stuffed pizza! 12inch pizza cost 25 bucks with 3 ingredients. I must say its rather pricey for a " a hole in the wall " type place but once I for home and took a bite it was great!!! I'm crazy about a nice crunchy crust and this pizza was just that cheese was melting nicely a little on the greasy side but then again what pizza isn't!!! This was only my second time having pizza from there and both times it was stuffed pizza and I'm looking forward to trying a regular thin crust pizza!! Maybe then I will add another star :) read more

Wasn't impressed by it at all. Actually felt upset after eating it. Reminded me of the very disappointing pizza I had in Missouri. I am just hoping that they were really busy and not able to put in their 100%, because pics from other reviews look AMAZING. Mine did not unfortunately. Might give it another try. If I do, I will update. read more

Solid establishment, and a local favorite. I don't think it's the best pizza in town, but its very good indeed. When I think of 'local Chicago thin slice' this place is exactly that. They've been doing it the standard way for a while and it works for them. read more

Classic " Chicaguh"-style pizza...NOT the deep dish everyone THINKS is Chicago-style, but the real, tavern style we in the 'hoods and 'burbs grew up on. Sweet sauce, good greasy cheese, great sassage, pepperoni and real 'shrooms peppers and onions, skillfully baked on a perfect, chewy thin crust. One of the best-and they're always prompt. read more

The pizza is okay. Their service needs some help though. I ordered online and walked in, a lady just asked "pickup?". I said "yes" and she disappeared into the kitchen. She came back eventually and said it would be out. No mention of how long. So after awkwardly standing for about 10 minutes, I finally decide to sit down. Another 10 minutes pass and I'm pretty sure that they're desperately baking my pizza because they didn't start it until I got there. I watched the ladies argue about something in front of the customers and I watched very slow service for the diners inside. Eventually one of the ladies came up and handed me the order like I was a nuisance. I also got cheesy garlic bread. There was a lot of cheese and the dipping sauce was good. I bumped this to A-OK because of it. read more

Horrible Pizza , even worst wings . Pizza was salty for whatever reason and wings came from the freezer straight into the deep frier . Hate to give such a horrible review to a local neighborhood spot . Only good thing was the delivery which didnt take too long too bad i couldnt eat the food . read more

Not fancy place inside but it is clean. I have only had the pizza from here and it is very good. I will have to try something else from here. I used to go here more often, when I was getting 40% off through idine.com. The discount is no longer 40% so I don't go as often. I would go again for the pizza and will have to try something else. read more

Delicious Chicago style thin crust. Does not disappoint. recommend: onion, green Pepper and Italian beef. Soooo goooood.

We tried this place on the strength of its Yelp reviews, and once again, Yelpers, you steered us in the right direction. The pizza is tasty, and the sausage is excellent! everything was very fresh. The burgers really made us happy, as did the chocolate shakes. The only thing that didn't quite do it for either of us were the fries. Yeah, it's a bit pricey, particularly on the burgers, but knowing that you're going to get a quality meal is worth a lot, IMO. read more

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. This was an utterly terrible experience. I called to place an order for delivery and the lady over the phone sounded like she wanted nothing to do with delivering my family's meal to us. She asked a couple times if I just wanted to pick it up instead. I stated all of those times: "No I wanted to place the order for delivery." I wanted one medium pizza with multiple toppings on it and the other with sausage, garlic and green pepper. The lady judged what I wanted on the pizza stating "that's definitely an odd combination." I ordered what I wanted to order. No comment to that is necessary. The delivery driver arrives and after he gave me the first pizza, he threw the empty holder over my railing onto my front lawn. One of the pizza's was relatively good but the other was absolutely drowned in garlic to the point my girlfriend couldn't eat it and I then got grossed out by it. It was horrible. Like they purposely made it this way to prevent us from coming back there. We used to order when I was a child all the time and I'm starting to realize why we stopped. And if their intentions were to never have our business again, they've succeeded. I will never order from that embarrassingly immature establishment again. Spending $65.00 on this was a massive mistake that won't be made again. read more

First time we ordered from here. Delivery arrived hot. Thin crust pizza had a great crisp along the crust. Sauce had great flavor. Sausage was good. Only sad part was I ordered full pepperoni and half sausage and instead we got half cheese and half pepperoni and sausage My husband let me have a slice of pepperoni and sausage but it would have been nice to get what we ordered. ‍ Better luck next time I hope. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and tried the thin crust pizza. I'm born and raised in Chicago so I'm a bit of a pizza snob. Crust: Very thin and crispy. I love pizza with crust like this, but keep in mind it is not as filling so you may need to order a bigger pizza than you're used to. (A-) Sauce: Average flavor, not too sweet or too tart. It could have been laid on a little thicker. (B) Toppings: Good quality, again, could have been laid on a bit thicker. (B) Overall: (B+). A bit too expensive for what you get. I would order here again for sure, but didn't like it enough to become a regular without first trying all the other pizza places within a couple miles. read more

Their specialty is thin crust but didn't really care for it. Thought their stuffed pizza was better but it's a lot of cheese and not enough sauce. Would order from again but there is better in the area. read more

Won't order from this place again, recommended by a friend for a get together. Order was being processed, then supposedly being made, gave a delivery time (waited for over an hour), then got a receipt saying it would not be delivered. Seriously. Screw this place. Zero star rating if u could. read more

Though somewhat mysterious from the outside, this is a quiet, yet romantic place to dine. We went late Friday night and were the only dine in guests, though there were quite a few dine out guests coming in for their pizza and the weather probably had a lot to do with it! Prices are reasonable, service is good and the food is great ... especially their pizza!! If you're looking for a new place to go that's not a chain... we'd definitely recommend here! Or even if you wanna enjoy a pizza from here and have it delivered ... I'm sure Darrel is right that the pizza is still hot!! Nothing bad to yelp about here!! read more

I tried to place an order thru Yelp, I called the restaurant to confirm if my other was received and they responded "we don't know what Yelp is". Anyhow, I decided to place an order over the phone, big mistake, the lady was so rude from the beginning.... it's my first time ordering from here and the last. I asked her few questions and she was bother by it. Not spending my money here, ordering somewhere else. read more

This place sucks pizza sucks delivery took 2 hours and they got my order wrong.I had a pizza couple weeks before it was ok but the last one sucked now I know why I stopped found there read more

Ordered my food at 7.15pm and they delivered it at 9.20pm after me calling them several times. Pizza was cold, chicken wigs had no sauce or flavor (we ordered mild wings). First and last time we order from this place. Disgusting! read more

Today I purchased my last pizza from here. Dennis the owner is very greedy and is always upping his prices and overcharging customers. I'm so fed up. The customer service is lacking for someone like me who has been a loyal customer for over 20 years. His loyalty lies with to his money and it shows. He's all about his profit at the end of the day, not about being truthful with his customers and I can't take it anymore. read more

So, the wife & I have become pizza snobs over the years. Which basically means we have ordered from the same 2 places for the past decade or so. Saturday/ mom & dad movie night without the kid & we decide to step out of our comfort zone & order from a place we have passed by for more then a decade! FRANKS PIZZA IS FUCKING AWESOME!!! The sauce is the BEST!! Cooked to perfection & delivered HOT. It's local for us & that always makes us feel good supporting the neighborhood. Apparently this place has been open since the 50's & we now see why. read more

Just awful. Called tonight to order pizza. Guy on the phone (after taking out info) tells us rudely they don't deliver to our area. We explain that we've ordered from here twice before...guy says he doesn't care, and they won't deliver. Bye Frank's you just lost a weekly customer! Honestly, the pizza wasn't even great anyway, just decent. I would highly recommend Sano's instead, they have better pizza & way better customer service. read more
