Frank's Pizza

I’m so glad that Franks Pizzeria in West Orange New Jersey is still open Despite the fact that there’s construction right outside for the new target department store that’s going up soon. I ordered the classic chicken Parmesan with a side of pasta. I chose the penne pasta and red sauce, which is my favorite. The chicken was tender, plump, and the tomato sauce was deliciously sweet.

This place is definitely a hidden gem worth visiting. The location is a bit conspicuous, in the back corner of the parking lot, next to retro fitness. However, the food is absolutely worth it. They are a cash only business, but I know many restaurants in the area that are cash only as well. This is an easy area to get cash from if need be at the last moment. The food is amazing. Pizza the way it should be. I haven't had great pizza like this for as long as I can remember. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. This will surely be one of my go-to pizza spots.

I ordered 2 slices of the buffalo chicken pizza and 2 plain slices. The slices were crispy but the buffalo chicken pizza was very very salty for my tastes. Perhaps the buffalo and blue cheese sauce they add on top of the pizza? Also, there wasn't much chicken on the pizza. I would not order this again. The plain slices were good. But the size of the slices are uneven. Seevice was good and friendly. They only accept cash as well.

Place is clean and the staff is friendly. There are a good amount of seats and they offer bring your own wine, not sure about beer. Pizza was good. Cheesesteak was a little on the plain side and the roll was cooked a little too long. Spaghetti was delicious.

Very seldom do I give a restaurant 5 stars. I don’t know what the other reviewers are talking about. We ate at a very well known fancy Italian restaurant yesterday in Times Square and it does not compare to this place at all. This place is truly a gem. Everything we had was delicious. It was 9 of us, 5 kids and 4 adults. Ordered pepperoni pizza for the kids. Then each of us got a different meal. They treated us like family. I’m glad we found it. I will always make sure to stop by here each and every-time we visit New Jersey. Oh yeah bring CASH they do not accept card payment at all. Forget all those complaining about having to get cash too. The stop at the ATM is worth it!!!!
