Franco’s Pizzeria

They promote their place on Facebook quite a bit so I tried them out. The pizza looked good but was somewhat bland. Not sure why as it has plenty of toppings. Maybe not using real cheese? The crust was very crunchy that some will like and some wont. It was ok and price was good, but I wont go out of my way to come back.

Tried the pizza today after seeing all the good reviews and a web page ranking it the second best pizza in Taylor. I can honestly say it was one of the worst pizzas I ever had. The sauce tastes terrible and it was undercooked. I threw it out and ordered a pizza from somewhere else. Wasted $ 20.

I’ve been by the place many times before and the smells coming from inside have always been amazing so I decided to try it. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza and the spinach and artichoke dip. The pizza was a good size for a small. Lots of fresh toppings, large chunks of artichokes, fresh feta cheese. The only draw back: I asked for garlic flavored crust but the crust i received was plain. The Spinach and artichoke dip was REALLY good. Probably better than dips I’ve gotten at other restaurants. The order was a large portion and the flavor was creamy with LOTS of baked cheese on top. The baked chips served with it had a good flavor to it as well. I will definitely order that again. All in all, it was a good first purchase. I can’t wait to try their other pizza toppings.

From the first bite I fell in love with the fresh ingredients used by Franco’s. I had the Caprese calzone and my gf had the mastaccioli. The Caprese was a wonderful blend of pesto, tomato, basil and mozzarella. The mastaccioli was amazing as well. The arrabbiata sauce is a spicy food fans dream!
¹⁰⁄₁₀ we will be back again!

Just had their food for the first time tonight! Very friendly on the phone for delivery, great pasta and bread! Delivered quickly and very pleasant at the door! Very reasonable prices. I will enjoy their food again!

I love checking out local businesses that I live around and trying new things. Having read all to good reviews on this place my wife and I decided to go visit Franco’s for dinner. To say the least we’re instant fans! As soon as you walk in it was a great pizzeria atmosphere and the smells coming out of that kitchen were out of this world. We ordered a large supreme with ranch crust. All fresh ingredients and dough make a world of difference folks and that’s what you get from Franco’s. We look forward to trying some of their other Italian dishes but this pizza is where its at!

I should have wrote this review a long time ago. Pizza is without a doubt my favorite food, so I tend to be kind of critical. In some cases, different tastes of pizza can just be a matter of opinion– so to keep myself from being too critical, when I try a place for the first time, I always order only a cheese and pepperoni pizza. If someone can’t get a cheese and pepperoni pizza right, what is the point in trying any of their other menu options?
I ordered a large cheese and pepperoni– no frills. The pizza is fantastic. The sauce is yummy, the pepperoni is great quality, and the dough– the dough is better than I can even describe.
I’ve since been back a few times since my initial order and have ordered other menu items and have always been satisfied. I plan to order from them for my next big event!
Finally a pizza place downriver that really understands pizza!

After reading the reviews here on Unilocal we thought we’d give it a try. Well, after spending $ 46.00 we have decided it wasn’t worth the money. We ordered a LG Pep Pizza, small pep, green pepper and onion pizza, bread Sticks, Cheese Bread and Lasagna. The Lasagna was so/​so tasted like it was getting old. The Pizza was a big Miss for us, and greasy. Now the Bread Sticks could have been great if maybe they served them some sauce and instead of Garlic Powder used Garlic Butter, they were soft but dry because it was just garlic powder and nothing else. I didn’t bother trying the cheese bread, again came with NO Sauce and they didn’t suggest any sauce either.
Huge Miss for this Family! Too expensive!

I was looking for a pizzeria so after reading some reviews I choose this place and I was happy the crust was good and crispy just how I like it

Love the pizza here. The sauce and cheese are outstanding. Tried the Detroiter last time Delicious! A must eat

Wow! Some of the best non chain store pizza I have had east of Chicago. They don’t skimp on the toppings and the service is always too notch. If you are looking to eat a great pizza and want to avoid the hot n ready style pies from up the street, give them a try

They were courteous and helpful. My order was delivered in the time specified and the food was terrific.

Ordered a pizza and small salad at 4:30p and was told 45 minutes — it took an hour. Not a big deal, but it’s not exactly the dinner rush. Salad was a decent size, but 95% iceberg lettuce. No plastic cutlery. I asked the driver about it, he said «They usually pack it if you ask them». And here I am thinking, well, I explicitly told them it was a hotel + I ordered a salad. Calculus not necessary. Pizza was doughy, sauce forgettable, and — as with any pizza that is delivered after an hour — cold.
Food: Average
Service: Meh
Another place with an unjustified Unilocal rating.

Great service and pizza, they made the pizza and breadsticks in 20 minutes, when I got in it was really fast to get out with the food. The food itself tasted very well flavored and tasted quite well, I definitely recommend you give it a try if you are in the area. It’s a great place and has very reasonable prices.

They had one table, and since we were traveling and exhausted we were grateful that they allowed us to use it.
We are VEGETARIAN but desired a combo. They obliged graciously. They treated us like family. And the salad, breadsticks and pizza were all absolutely delicious.
The large pizza and large salad were both humongous, and could have fed at least one more than the three in our family.
We left with a warm spot in our hearts AND our stomachs!

I could go on and on, but I won’t. Let e just say, we won’t order pizza from anywhere else AGAIN!

What can I say… other than the BEST pizza, and pasta Downriver bar none!
Chicken Tortellini soup… magnificent!
Awesome family, awesome Food! :)

I came across this new restaurant via word of mouth from a few of my Facebook friends. Boy, am I glad I gave Franco’s a visit!
So, the set-​up: This is a mostly carry-​out restaurant located in the same shopping center as Sax Pharmacy. There are two tables for two in the waiting area you’re welcome to eat at. Otherwise, it’s a majority carry-​out and delivery restaurant.
They’ve got a large menu (that I uploaded photos of) with pizza, subs, calzones, strombolis, pasta and more. I’m a chicken parm kind of gal, so I ordered that for $ 7.95. Jacob got a personal pizza and a pop (on special for $ 5). We told the cashier we’d be eating in.
My chicken parmesan came out first (they just brought items out in the order they were ready) and it looked amazing. I got two deliciously breaded chicken breasts, a huge side of spaghetti with savory meat sauce, two pillowy pieces of garlic bread and a side salad for $ 8. Seriously, you can’t beat that price. If this were served in a fancier setting, this was certainly an $ 18 meal. The breaded chicken was flawlessly seasoned and fried, and the spaghetti was excellent. I was raving about my meal for the rest of the night!
Jacob’s pizza came out not long after my meal. When you think personal pizza, you imagine the fast food ones served at Pizza Hut. Franco’s personal pizzas are larger, about the same size as a small. The toppings were generous and spread evenly over the pizza. Jacob dug right in and immediately loved it. He said the true test of good pizza is the «cold leftover» test… and Franco’s passed. They serve A+ pizza, whether it’s enjoyed hot out of the oven or cold the next day.
Our bill for this delicious dinner was only $ 13. We could easily spend that much for two subs, two pops and two bags of chips at Jimmy John’s… but our money is much better spent at Franco’s.
Whether you’re in the neighborhood or not, you’ve got to give this place a try. There are definitely some talented people working in their kitchen and it shows.

I went in for lunch dinner. It was my boyfriend, his ex wife, their young daughter, and my pregnant self.
My first instinct at a pizza place is to get a pizza roll. Always. I can accurately judge a pizza place by its pizza roll! It was only $ 4 so I ordered that, and I got the family deal (large pizza, breadsticks, salad, and a spaghetti). I thought that the spaghetti would be small enough for the child who loves spaghetti to eat and have dinner or lunch out of, as well, and I figured the large was a standard large… perfect for two adults to share with maybe a piece or two to take home, right? We also got mac and cheese bites because they are my boyfriend’s favorite. (It’s an extravagant lunch dinner, but it was a special occasion!) The total was about $ 40 with drinks and all the food. I thought the price was good even with my expectations of the food.
After everyone was completely stuffed, we had half the pizza roll, half the huge large pizza, over half of the spaghetti, half or more of the bread left, and we didn’t touch the mac and cheese bites!
I thought the pizza roll was good, but I definitely liked the pizza better. It’s nothing against the roll, but the pizza was very good. It was pretty greasy because of the fresh and real ingredients, but of course that’s always the best pizza in my opinion, even if you like less grease and dab some off. The pizza is spiced perfectly and the proportion of ingredients is perfect. It’s all around a good pizza (see what I did there?)
Honestly: I probably will only make it back once in a while because it’s not really in my neighborhood. We went to this place because I met Franco several years ago and was friends with the woman he’s married to now for a while when we were younger. (Hi Alyssa!) We’re from Wyandotte and it’s in Taylor around Wick and Pardee… an area we rarely travel to or through. HOWEVER, it’s definitely not a testament to the quality of the restaurant. If you are nearby, I would DEFINITELY recommend checking the place out. The food is great and the value is great and you can’t complain about that!

I was thrilled for your opening of this family-​owned business. It is close to my house, so I have been waiting for that open sign to light up. I got a pizza and a cannoli and both were great! The sauce is always what I am picky about when it comes to pizza, and it was delicious. I was eyeing the cupcakes and I will be back to grab one soon. It looked like there was an Oreo cupcake and a coconut topped one. I am also looking forward to trying your Italian subs.
Congratulations on a successful opening!
