The appetizer for two included fried mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, zucchini, and chicken tenders. Overall the fried vegetables and chicken were pretty oily, especially the zucchini which were basically oil filled pockets. However, the dish was filling and the oily-ness not unexpected considering the appetizer is fried. The mozzarella sticks had a different type of coating on it which made it more bland and oily than the rest of the appetizer, unfortunately. The pickup experience was quick and easy. Overall, I would order again due to the restaurant's convenience, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way.

The portion size was enormous--more than enough food, and as you can see from the pictures, the plate was packed with perfectly cooked pasta, tender chicken, and fresh vegetables. Everything was absolutely delicious. The vegetables were cooked al dente, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the chicken was soft, flavorful, and prepared just right. You could tell the food was made fresh because it took a little time to come out, but it arrived hot and was well worth the wait. The service was exceptional. The ladies who took care of me were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made the entire experience even better. For the price, I felt like I received five-star service and outstanding value. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers both quality and generous portions at a reasonable price. Franklin may not be the first place people think of when choosing a restaurant, but Apulia Risto Pizza is truly a hidden gem. I enjoyed it so much that I would gladly make the drive again, even if it's an hour from my home. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back!

The inside is decorated nicely, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. The service was excellent! We were promptly greeted and the staff was attentive throughout the meal. This is a BYOB and we started off with our wine and the burrata appetizer. Served with prosciutto and arugula, it was excellent. For entrees, my wife had the Veal Caprese and I had the Gnocchi. The breaded veal was outstanding, and I loved the red sauce and shrimp the gnocchi was made with. For dessert, I had the homemade tiramisu and my wife had a piece of limoncello cake. We couldn't have been happier with the entire meal. After dinner, the owner, John, came over and spoke with us. This restaurant has been here for 25 years and is certainly doing it right!

The pizzeria is located behind a firehouse, and there is plenty of parking. The interior is like your typical family-owned pizzeria: open kitchen, limited seating, and amazing customer service. There was probably one other customer when I arrived, and the owners took the time to connect with him, talking about other pizzerias. I ordered a large with half garlic (freshly minced) and jalapeño. The pizza was at the perfect thinness and a good amount of crisp. There was also a perfect balance of cheese and sauce which is my ideal kind of pizza. I think it's safe to say that I will definitely be coming back here soon.
