I was craving pizza like crazy, good pizza. So I took a walk and saw Frank's. It seemed more authentic than the other options.
I am so happy I stopped in here. I had a calzone and it was soooooo goooood!
You can tell that this is for real Italian pizza. And they know what they're doing. I will definitely go back again for this awesome calzone.
The only thing is that while my waitress was very nice and friendly, she took a while on things. And they definitely favour their regulars. Some people came in while I was waiting for food and they got a lot more attention than me since the whole family seemed to know them.
But oh well, it was still amazing food. I'm definitely loving it. -

best pizza i've had in a city that clearly isn't renown for its pies. haven't eaten in-house but the food we had delivered was consistently great, especially when compared to the alternatives in the area. the employees must have been a bit sketched out after my wife & i ordered 3 nights in a row following our first pleasant experience. recommended.

Don't get me wrong, Frank's pizza was pretty good for pizza delivery. Way better than pizza pizza. But a few things brought my rating of Frank's down.
First of all, tho' I love a cheesy pizza, these just had too much. Each slice felt like it could be used for weight-lifting (which we would need after indulging in such gooey pizza!). It made for a very salty experience. My advice: go for un-salty topping at this place (rather than, say, olives) and you'll have a better experience. Also, the toppings themselves were just ok. We decided to splurge and ordered some rapini (a "gourmet topping" according to Frank's), but it was overcooked and stringy, rather than fresh with the slightly bitter bite that makes rapini so good.
Most of all, though, it was just too darn pricey. For two extra large pizzas and two salads, we paid $77. Not bad for feeding 7 people, but still. For pizza?
Vegetarian score: 8/10. Totally average for a pizza place with a few nice extra veggie-friendly choices.Listed in: The St. Clair Strip, Pizza Pizza Pizza

No you won't see frank, but you will see his nephew George. This is still a family run business, and it feels like it.
Atmosphere - your basic pizza joint classed up a bit. It not too fancy, and not too plain. Its a nice quiet place, a little on the small side, but comfortable. Paper menus? Yes, but I'd take that over a place with leather bound menus that charge me twice the price and turn up their nose at me when i don't buy a $60+ wine.
Service - Excellent. It wasn't that busy, but it was an hour before closing. (we were the only customers, except for two guys waiting for take out). We were invited to split two dishes so we could try more of the menu, and they even welcomed our quirky requests. I wonder how this place is when its busy (apparently on friday and saturday - just like every other resto).
Pizza - hot, fresh, thin. Had the diavolo. The hot peppers are actually hot!
Panzerotti - this was the star of the show. Wow! It kind of like the Panzerottis at "Panzerotto Pizza", but its made by someone that cares how it tastes like. The biggest difference was that the panzo is NOT soggy. How you ask? They leave most of the sauce out, and this results in deep fried goodness that does not spill all over the place. extra sauce is provided on the side if needed.
Dessert - i didn't get a chance as i was stuffed to the gills. But they have tartufo {only in the summer] and tiramisu. The tiramisu IS brought over from Italy, and is apparently a big hit (especially for delivery). The tiramisu does not have any alcohol in it for those people that don't appreciate the flavour [me!!]. I will definately give it a try on my next visit. -

i went to Frank's for the first time last week at the urging of some friends who live in the area. My friend suggested I order a calzone, which I did reluctantly. I never really understood the calzone and have always preferred pizza. Anyway, it turned out the calzone was fantastic and I ate it all up even though it was probably more than I should have eaten at one time. The waiter was really nice and you could tell he was truly interested in making sure we had a good experience.

This place looks pretty new. We arrived just after 12, and for the next 75 minutes, we were the only customers.
The 10" pizzas - 1 plain cheese and 1 Vegetariana (broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and artichoke hearts) - were thin crust, and pretty average.
The server was the co-owner, I believe. Perhaps the son from the mother/son owner tandem. He was very friendly and helpful. We were there because of a Groupon purchase, but I forgot the paper "coupon". He graciously checked his list and honoured the Groupon.
It seemed a tad pricey for lunch. The two pizzas and one Brio was 30 bucks.
They had a dessert menu with 3 items, tiramisu, another cake and tartufo. The two cakes were shipped from Italy. We didn't have anything, but how good could a $6 piece of cake be that has made the trip from Italy? What, no local Italian bakers good enough?
They have expresso-based drinks, but no "Canadian coffee".
To sum up, if you're in the area, this place is worth a try, just don't make a special trip.
(Ooops, just checked their web site...they've been open since 1992.)Listed in: Pizza

The pizza is great!!!! Met up with some friends for a couple of pizza's and some pints after work.. service was great, the pizza was fresh and tasty and their sauce is fantastic!!! It's not fancy, they have paper overtop the linen table cloths to catch the sauce that flies off your fork when you eat the spaghetti .. I have never seen in super busy, but I know a lot of people that take out... and the place is clean.

First the bad news. They don't have air conditioning, which made it pretty hot to dine in a pizza… Read more »
