Francesca's Pizza & Pasta

I stopped here in a pinch on Sunday after driving by for 5 years.  I ordered 2 slices to go, and asked for them to be very hot since I had to get it home, and I like my pizza on the well-done side.  After a few minutes in the oven, the pizza was boxed and I was sent on my way.

Let's start with the box.  It said "Francesca's Pizza -  Hot and Delicious - Made Just for You".  I find a lack of truth in advertising here!  Yes, it was from Francesca's, and yes it was pizza.  But, it was far from hot, not even close to delicious, and I am POSITIVE it was not made just for me.  In fact, I'm not even sure it was made that day!  If I specifically asked for them well done, why pop them out of the oven after just a couple of minutes and serve them to me lukewarm?  I asked for the slices well done, and would have been happy to wait for them.

Sure, the slices were a decent size, and not horribly priced ($2.50 for a plain slice), but it was bland, and overpriced for the quality.  And to add insult to injury, it was floppy and undercooked, which was even more offensive since they were re-heated slices!!!!

I'm from Brooklyn, so I grew up with some of the best pizza in the world, and am admittedly biased.  But there are much better places in this area for better pizza.  Try Frankie & Augiez or Pizza Pizzazz.  Both places will give you much better quality and value.

This place is recently under new management and unfortunately the food isn't that good. My wife ordered a slice of white pizza yesterday and had to literally scrape off the rigotta because it tasted so vile. She ultimately threw out the pizza. Note to management...hire a professional pizza chef, so at least you can start to compete with Gigi's in Jefferson Valley.

Pizza and service are good. Fairly clean on inside.  Never had a problem there.
