Frank’s Pizzeria

Eggplant parm sandwich was excellent. I ate there and got a salad and they gave it to me in a to-​go container to eat which I felt was odd. I give it 3 stars because I observed one staff member talking to a younger staff member and he was really ordering him around, being really rude and never saying «please» or «thank you” — that’s no way to talk to other people :(

That’s a killer pizza! Only 20 minutes from Monroe to deliciousness!!!
I might have to move to Warwick. With Franks & Bellvale Market I don’t need much more… Well, maybe a good Doctor!

Must say this is not the best pizza in town. Just recently moved to Warwick and I have tried 4 pizza shops and none have lived up to an amazing pie. Too cheesy and just dripping off pie. The place could use a good clean up as mentioned by other Unilocal user.

Saltiest pizza ive ever eaten. When you eat something and immediately taste salt thats a problem. The flavor of the sauce and cheese were actually ok but i couldnt get over the salt.
Also, please clean the place up once in a while.

There’s a reason why this place has existed far longer than any other joint in Warwick… it has the best pie hands down

How I heard of this place: On our first trip to Warwick in July, our host, Samyar, shared stories of growing up in the town of Warwick. Among these stories was one of his friend, who took over his father’s pizzeria; a pizza place that has been in the family for at least three generations! It was closed for the Fourth of July, but on this Thanksgiving weekend, open and bustling with orders.
Type of cuisine: Pizza. Specialty pizzas. Calzones.
Ambiance: Walking through the brick-​lined building’s doorway, labeled Frank’s-Pizza Restaurant, we were warmly and exuberantly greeted by Frank, himself. His New York accent boasting a hearty welcome to our host, and his long-​time friend, Samyar. The single glass door led into a small, dimly lit room along an all-​weather red carpet and tiled floors. Simple tables in varnished bamboo or birch wood, accompanied by wooden chairs with dark backs seated a half-​dozen high-​schoolers laughing, talking and eating their large pizzas. Refrigerators of Snapple and soda beverages to the far right hosted the largest pizza box I have seen to date. Christmas lights lead the way from the right corner to the register in the window cut-​out looking into the kitchen. I first noticed the bottom half of walls painted in a deep red with green on the top half of most, but one wall stood out: with a beautiful mural on the entryway wall of what resembles a grand, old Tuscan home with brick top roof and greenery all around. The lights around the kitchen window also lit up the plain, simple, yet full menus overhead, of a number of creative and novel pizza specials, as well as the more traditional and long-​loved options. Additional specials were written in black and red marker on paper plates, taped to the bottom of the menu boards. One such sign promoted: «Homemade Rice Balls $ 3.95 w/​sauce and mozzl cheese». Frank stood just behind the island counter in the center of the large kitchen, tossing pizza dough into the air and then dressing it with sauce, generous handfuls of cheese and toppings. To his left, four, large pizza trays held the slices: cheese, pepperoni, vegetable, and two thick-​cut squares of Sicilian pizza. To the left of the register and atop a small refrigerator of soda-​gallons, Elmo, dressed in a red and white pizza-​doned apron waved happily behind Frosty the Snowman’s head. The display case underneath, which I would like to believe, had, once upon a time, hosted a variety of fresh olives and salad sides, was covered with brown paper and the words, «Welcome to Fran’s Pizza» handwritten with a red marker. And, of course, no local, home-​grown pizza joint is complete without the stacks of white take-​away boxes, ready at the wait.
What I ordered: Being full from a weekend of non-​stop eating, but also feeling the need to sample one of the delicious-​smelling slices, I selected the simple cheese pizza ($ 1.99) and Chris felt the need to try Buffalo Chicken Pizza ($ 2.65).
What I loved: I sampled both, but felt the simplicity and abundance of cheese on my slice outweighed the buffalo chicken. The cheese, gooey and melted, brought out the slightly sweet flavor of the perfectly prepared pizza dough and the light seasonings in the marinara/​pizza sauce. Beautiful.
Why I loved it: Simple. Tasty. Frank’s New York accent.
Cost: Average ($ 2-​$ 4 per slice)

Food was good. Loved the pizza dough.
Service was great!
BUT the place needs to be better organized and cleaner, and the place is full of hazards!!! Someone wrote, «Who cares about a few bread crumbs.» But it isn’t just a few bread crumbs.
You cannot keep an open container of to-​be-​used bread crumbs on the lower shelf right above the floor. Actually, it wasn’t kept there, rather, it was thrown underneath there. It was on top of something in a strange angle. Then, there was the chicken cutlets again not covered and just kind of thrown on the shelf.
Everything just seemed to be out of place. Chaotic in the kitchen.
No paper towel on the paper towel rack to wipe your hands after the toilet. Rather, rolls of paper towels were everywhere including one on top of a pizza tray to be used.
And talk about the toilet. Of course not clean. But more scary is where the toilet is. You have to go through the kitchen which is one thing. The other is that it is right next to the deep fryers! Customers shouldn’t be walking next to deep fryers.
And to top everything off, the two little pumpkins near the window were rotting with liquid oozing from the bottom.

My wife ate here every Friday night as a kid growing up in Warwick and for years raved about this place, calling it the best pizza ever. But, you New Yorkers are obsessed, and a bit arrogant with your pizza. Like no one else in the world can make a good pizza? Please. Get over yourselves. Regardless of the New York arrogance, I was very excited to visit this place.
The pizza is seriously good and served by the very friendly folks who own the joint. She didn’t win me over into thinking it is the best pizza I have ever had since I have my own nostalgic memories of Amecci Pizza and Pasta in Canoga Park, CA, but it is a damn fine pizza, and the best I’ve had in recent memory.
Is it the cleanest place around? No. But you people need to chill, it’s the next morning and I don’t have food poisoning, so it’s all good! It’s like all you New Yorkers have PTSD from that Seinfeld episode where Poppy doesn’t wash his hands before making Jerry’s special dinner. Go here and enjoy. Get it delivered if you’re worried about a few crumbs around the table.

Fantastic pizza, I am in Warwick about once a week for work and always make it a point to stop by for a slice. Its nice they always have a rotating variety of pizzas. People inside are friendly and they seem to know everyone in town.

I’ve been here a few times and I’ve always found it more comfortable and friendly than any of the other local pizza joints. I was so happy they delivered to Pine Island for us the other night. The food was so filling I had plenty of pasta left over for the next day and some garlic knots too. The knots are a little hard but still delicious. I called late so they were «out» of fettuccine for the night but they were nice enough to make my alfredo with spaghetti. Overall I think they do a fine job.

I agree with Kate L. The pizza is good, but the place is dingy and dirty. I’m not germaphobic but the place could skeeve you out if you are used to clean places. I’d recommed Franico’s if your looking for pizzeria type restaurants or Fratello’s if your looking for nicer dining.

Best Pizza in the world. Friendliest customers, such a home feel. I live in Washington and I still get the cravings for it. When ever I am in Warwick, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack is at Franks. Anyone can make good friends with the workers. Pasta is tasty as well, over all AMAZING !!

Of all the pizza places in Warwick (and there is six of them) this is my least favorite. First of all their pizza is extremely greasy — you can just see the grease sliding off the slice. Second of all — they are extremely rude. I have never had an experience there (and I keep trying) where they were actually nice to me. Thankfully there are five other places that I can visit to get a great pie with friendly owners.

Honestly the best Pizza I have ever eaten. Make sure you ask for Matt to make your Pie for you. I’m not saying that just because I grew up on Franks Pizza. Thin crust, plenty of cheese, but the key is the home made sauce that they use in their pizza.
This place is a staple of Warwick. They have the hometown feel and the owners are more than willing to chat it up with you while you are waiting for your pie to come up.
Every time I’m in Warwick and feeling a little peckish I swing by Franks, usually my DW asks me to bring home a couple of slices for her as well.

This is really good pizza. I recommend it!
My family and I either eat in or order take out from Frank’s nearly every Friday night. We usually get a regular cheese pie and mozzarella sticks. Both are delicious. The pizza is a perfect example of NY style pizza. Really good homemade sauce, great cheese, and really good crust — all baked perfectly. The cheese sticks are also good and lately, we’ve been ordering a meatball sub for one of my boys. I’ve discovered their sub roll and the meatballs are also really delicious.
I highly recommend this pizza place in Warwick, New York! The service is quick, the staff is friendly. It’s all good!

As a child living in Warwick, we always went to Frank’s as a family favorite. It still looks the same exact way 20 years later. I was excited to try it again with an adult point of view when I took my BF to pick up some food before going to the drive-​in.
The food wasn’t bad, but what my boyfriend COULD NOT get over was the cleanliness of the place. As a former pizza employee throughout HS and college, he was disgusted by the place and the practices of the employees. Employees were constantly touching other things, then touching the food without washing hands. The cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the exposed kitchen and equipment, etc.
I’m very sorry to say we wont be going back to Frank’s anymore: (

Frank’s Pizza is the best pizza I have ever had. It is the first place I ever ate pizza as a child, and now 48 years later and HUNDREDS of pizza’s later — across the USA — and they still are the best. The fresh ingredients, home made dough, great toppings, are fantastic. They also have delicious sandwiches and pasta dishes. The staff is super friendly!
Every time I go home to Warwick, I eat at Frank’s.
