While this place may make some great pizza, I wouldn't come back here again for anything else on their menu. Â I ordered dinner here Sunday night to dine in and wasn't impressed. Â The tables are sticky, the atmosphere a drab attempt to be one step above a pizza joint and failing. Â Our entrees came with bread and salad, and the bread was okay, but the salad was severely lacking--a handful of iceberg lettuce on a plate with a sad-looking tomato wedge. Â Unappetizing.
The entrees were decent: I had a chicken parmesan with linguine, and the chicken was cooked well and the sauce tasty, if a bit on the watery side. Â My father ordered the lasagna and it was a pretty small piece that had obviously fallen over and was scooped back together again.
We were the only ones sitting in the restaurant, yet we had a tough time getting the attention of the waitress for the whole night. Â At the end of the meal I had leftovers I wanted to box up, and after waiting forever for the waitress, I went up to the pizza counter and asked the guy there. Â I would definitely not come back here to sit down and expect adequate service.
I'm giving the place 3 stars because, while the atmosphere and the service weren't good, my dish was tasty. Â And since this place seems so well-known for its pizza, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Â But the owners should give up on the "restaurant" part of their name and make this a full-on pizzeria--it's better to offer one thing that you're great at making rather than a bunch of entrees and a service that are mediocre to crappy.
One of my favorite Pizzeria's in Franklin park, Short wait, great pizza that is piping hot out of the oven, so much cheese.. can't ask for anything more.. Â Pizza sauce is not sour, salty or too sweet, Just right.. Â There is so much cheese on their regular pies.. if you love extra cheese like me.. this is the place.. I can call it in and done by the time I arrive (10 min). Â The crust is just right, very thin and not burn't like majority of the Local Pizza places.. Â Employees @ this facilities always welcome you in with a smile..
Review Source:I am surprised by the profile, they do deliver, and they do take out.
I am from NJ, but lived for 18 years in NYC. I know great NY pizza, I like to fold the slices! I also like anchovies, so does the owner. We talked about it one time when I was there.
In the 13 years that I have been in Franklin Park, I have (as the box says) tried them all, this is the best! Perfect crust, seasoning and balance of tomato sauce to cheese. Also, if you like anchovies, they have been dried of oil and are perfect compliment to the pizza.
It's good eatin' cold in the morning, too. It's worth buying a whole pizza, even if you only want a couple of slices.
The only place I will go now for pizza! Another note, go in and meet the people who own and work there, you will never go anywhere else.
BTW the Lasagna is fab too!
Decided to switch it up for sunday night pizza. The pizza was good, but I can safely say not my favorite in the area. i did lax in picking up my order, so the pizza wasn't piping hot and the cheese was a little more gelatinous than melty and gooey. I will say, a slice of 4 Musketeers was quite good cold in the morning!
I will give this review 3.5 stars because their wings were so good- they have the crispy kind, not the saucy kind which is my favorite, so this in itself will probably get me back there for pizza and wings.
Surprised it wasn't reviewed already- their pizza sauce is amazing!! We had a half, by-request thin-crust pizza (half plain and half veggie). The veggies were sooo flavorful, broccoli and spinach had a nice garlicy taste to it- and the plain pizza was like taking a trip to Brooklyn for the ooey-gooey cheeesy taste that you just sometimes yearn for.
The guys behind the counter smiled, EVEN as annoying as I am, everytime I requested something (i.e. extra marinara sauce, lemons, cups for our soda)...
They dont have lemons! Which I found weird, but I wanted it for my soda and marinara sauce... but not everyone will care about lemons. The lemons and the not-so-great ambiance took it from 5-stars to 4, but the FOOD is great. So order take-out and you will not be disappointed!!
Also note: we sat in the front part, but there is a back area with nicer wood tables, covered by those classic pizza red and white checks tablecloth... so you CAN ma
