I stopped in for a quick slice on my way to an appointment and got a slice with pepperoni. A very sweet woman told me to take a seat and brought me a water with lemon in a glass, nice touch. The dining area was very clean and nicely decorated, not a "cheesy" looking pizza joint at all, excuse the pun. The pizza was to die for, hot, fresh, delicious with an outstanding cheese pull. And the crust was crispy, it all hit. My only regret is I didn't have time to finish it there. Took what was left to go. The staff was friendly and warm. Best pizza I've had since I lived in New York City. Will be back for sure!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We’re visiting the area and Franco’s did not disappoint!! Coming from New Jersey where great pizzerias are a dime a dozen, we were concerned when we heard “Delaware has no good pizza”. But that isn’t true. We stopped at Franco’s and ate inside. Our server was so sweet! We got our food quickly and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious! The pizza has that cheesy, melty goodness that you’d see in an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The fries? Crispy and flavorful. The bread!? Don’t even get me started on the bread and the dipping oil. We had to roll ourselves into the car and slept pretty well from the carbo-load. We can’t wait to be back! If you’re a transplant to Delaware from NY/NJ… this is your spot. If you’re a Delaware native… go to Franco’s. The chains have nothing on this gem!

Always loved their food and ordering from them but a little while ago my mother and I order take out and they messed up my large calzone. I did not order the pepperoni calzone but that’s what they sent. So I call and tell them and the girl asks if I want to bring it back for the right one and I declined because it was too much to go back there and wait again so she said ok and that my next order was on them. I thanked her and she went to hang up and I stopped her, “whoa! Don’t you need my info?!” She giggled and apologized and said yes so I gave her the name and address and phone #. Hung up. But when I call to get my free replacement the girl puts me on hold and I hear a female in the background ask if I have my receipt. Noo I was not told to keep a receipt and when I asked what info she needed she only needed my name and address and phone #. She puts me on hold and tells the other woman and the other woman tells her “oh well.. I can’t find it” she didn’t even bother to look! The other young lady picks up the phone again and says “I’m very sorry but unfortunately…. . .” Yeah I don’t got time for that crap. She didn’t even bother to look. She immediately says “oh well.. I can’t find it” and just leaves the other female to handle it and come up with something. Over 20 years I’ve been going there. I remember collecting payments from the Italian man who I am assuming was the owner Franco for the heating and air unit or fix done by the Appliance Refrigeration. The business I worked for back early 2000’s which they did not do for everyone back then.. and I would stop and collect on MY TIME which I wasn’t paid for then just cause they’d always been so great to me.. but this..?? Smh I’m ashamed to say I even eat there after this type of treatment. I was going to also purchase a few meals on top of getting my free OWED calzone but after this. I sent my husband right to the Chinese place next door to spend our money on the 5 meals we needed for tonight. Never again.
