I've only ordered to-go, but the staff is welcoming and communicative. My favorites are the Diavolo Italiano, Muffuletta, and Onion Rings which are probably one of the best I've ever had. I tried the Veggies & Such sandwich which was really good. It does come warmed, but I really enjoyed it cold which I ate the next day. The cabbage soup was disappointing, it tasted more like a minestrone soup, which was ok, but expected cabbage soup with a unique tastes. As for the few other things I've tried....they were very yummy. Can't wait to try another sandwich on their menu....if in the area give it try....it will be worth it.

DON'T SLEEP ON THE CABBAGE SOUP & CHEESE FRIES!

They've got all of the important stuff here: chicken, chicken, and chicken. They aren't cheap, but this is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. I'm a southerner so this may be considered blasphemy, but they are better than Chick-fil-A. Yes, I said it, and I stand by it.

What can I say? Frank's Pizza on Belmont Avenue isn't just good -- it's the kind of pizza that ruins all the others for you. They make their own sauce, their own sausage, and you can taste the care in every bite. Everything's made with clean, fresh ingredients -- no shortcuts, no junk. The thin crust has that perfect crispy bite, and the flavor? Straight-up phenomenal. If you're serious about pizza, do yourself a favor and hit Frank's. Five stars, no hesitation.

It is an intimate space with only about six tables that seat four people each, which makes the whole experience feel personal and cozy. Despite the smaller size of the restaurant, the Italian menu is impressively comprehensive, and I found the food to be both delicious and very fairly priced. Since the building is located on a fast-moving road, it is the kind of place that is incredibly easy to drive right past if you aren't looking for it. I suspect it's mostly a local neighborhood secret, and I only found it myself thanks to a glowing recommendation from someone nearby. I'm so glad I listened! If you are looking for a new go-to spot for Italian, I would definitely suggest slowing down and giving them a try. You'll be happy you did.

In a small rural town, I would say this pizza is fine, in Chicago or really any mid-size metro there is no other way to describe this pizza as anything other than mediocre, especially given its price and proximity to much, much, better pizza places. From what I can tell, they are using the pre-made crusts you can buy from distributors (you can see the uniform little pinholes that are placed on these crusts when being manufactured), the sauce and mozzarella tastes similar to the kinds hospital/school cafeterias serve so I assume they also use the same generic food distributor product for these as well (Sysco, GFS or similar). Again in a rural area where this might be your only options for the affordable sourcing of sauce and cheese I could understand. But in this area (historically Italian and extremely close to a dense authentic Italian population on Harlem), there's little excuse to not be able to source affordable high quality, fresh, ingredients. Ambiance seemed nice in there, clean and bright. A bit lacking in personality or distinct style, but fine enough for eating with friends/family. Service was a bit on the cold side, but not bad - they seemed nice enough and we're just trying to get through the shift. For an "Italian" restaurant this spot was very disappointing and comes across as lazy/low effort. It's not unclean or uncomfortable but too expensive for cafeteria pizza. Can't really recommend over other nearby offerings.
