Anthony Franco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria

Got the meatlovers — more like a crust lover — toppings are really skimpy. Not worth the price.

Best margarita pizza ever!!! Excellent selection of slices. Some of my favorites include obviously the Margarita, Caprese, chicken bacon ranch and chicken Alla vodka. The counter guy Tim has really made a positive impact on this place. If your looking for great service and great food Anthony Francos is the place!

Good food and reliable service. We rotate our orders amongst several locations in the area and Anthony Franco ’ s is a regular for us. They get it right and it’s consistent. An online ordering process would be a nice addition. AJ’s has sit and it’s convenient.

Best pizza ever. You have to try their Margarita pizza it’s delicious.
I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. Everything is fantastic .
Super friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable
You won’t be disappointed. I promise.

Their food is decent but it took an hour after my pickup call to receive my sandwich. One sandwich.

Used to be the go to pizza place near me but the quality has gone down over the years. Last few times I ordered the order was wrong and cold. Manager left and now it’s a bunch of young people with no leadership so quality suffers. I go to AJs now and it’s been much better

Okay so there are a couple things. Number 1 the food isn’t bad at all. But they have messed up multiple delivery overs which have taken over an hour & a half. There was another order where we ordered pizzas and sandwiches. These sandwiches tasted like Clorox. We called & they said, sorry we just cleaned the location some must have gotten in there. They never gave us our money back & never offered anything. We attempted to try the location one more time & when we ordered 2 pies & a sandwich they only showed up with 1 pie & a sandwich even though we payed for the entire order. We called the manager & stated they would bring the money back. We said no problem & after 45 minutes we called the location & they said they were closed. We rushed there & had to actually fight for our money back. NEVER ever go there. Seriously.

Pizzas are good, especially the penne vodka pie. Everything else is blah. Chicken parm hero was a bunch of frozen chicken fingers instead of a chicken cutlet. tortellini tasted frozen as well and hard in the middle, was $ 12 with a small piece of bread and no salad. Calzone was better than average and a good size but overall I’m only ordering pizza from here in the future.

Over an hour and a half delivery for a slow Monday… every time we called to check on the food they told us it left it left aka lying about forgetting to make the order when food finally got here the shrimp was overcooked and tough. Lost a customer.

Chicken on the gourmet slices are the quality of Lean Cuisine or worse! $ 4 a slice should absolutely better quality chicken. Will never go back unless they change the quality to what it was in the past.

This place is jusst not good. I ordered an eggplant parm sandwich and it smelled like a dirt rag. I did not eat it and I will never go back there again. Clean your counters with clean rags. So gross.

The pizza is mediocre at best and the service is terrible. The place has been going down hill for years. The problem is that it is now one of the few pizza places in the area. V&J is the best but too far.

Hello. How does a pizzeria mess up a basic chicken parm sandwich? I’m in Kinnelon working on a yard job, getting hungry and ordered a sub. Blah. Bland, tasteless, and not good… Chicken tasted rubbery… I want to throw it out but I need to eat. Ugh.

I received a coupon in the mail and decided to give the establishment a chance since I’ve driven past it numerous times. My wife dine with me for the afternoon and she ordered a chicken dish while I ordered chicken parm dinner. I felt as if the chicken was rubber and not pounded at all. The portion side was large, but I didn’t care to take the rest home or feed my dog with it. Honestly, it was the worst chicken parm I’ve ever tasted. My wife me was bland and her chicken was also rubbery. I will not be attending this establishment ever again as there are many Italian restaurants on Rt. 23 area. The wait staff also was very weak. After she delivered our entrée, we never saw her again. It was like she was a ghost. Upon exiting the parking lot, I saw her smoking with what appeared to be some co workers. Nice touch.

Waited 50 minutes for pasta once… After struggling to get attention to check for it a third person found it. It was cold and had been there ready while i was told to keep waiting.
Another time they charged $.45 more than the menu price and price on the board inside for a speciality pie. Not a big amount, but the guy behind the counter pandered and claimed the prices changed a while ago and told me to check the board. We did, with him and he was wrong, didn’t even apologize. I guess they don’t care about customer service, or that charging different than posted signage is against the law.

Worked all day. Was looking for food on my way back before having to attend a wake. Stood in an obnoxiously crowded waiting area as I barely made it up to the counter since they just randomly took people’s requests. After 10 min I finally asked if anyone was going to take my order after I was cut about 5 times by people who knew full well what they were doing. I got «well be right with you.» After another 5 min of standing I left, furious.
How are you going to charge $ 4.50 for a slice of terrible, overly greasy pizza (which I was only getting since it was the last place to get any on my way) and yet you can’t even out people into some semblance of a line?
What a joke.

We’re new to the area and we like our pizza. The pies were decent and the service was pretty good. I’d give it a three but my wife really liked it and gave a five, so I guess we’ll give it a four. I just wish the crust was crispier…

I’ve been to a few other Anthony Franco’s locations, and just like other locations, it’s all about the slices. It seems like Anthony Franco’s are popping up all over the place. I’m guessing from the size and the way the restaurant is setup, that this location is one of the earlier ones.
My top slices for this location are Pizza Caprese and Pizza Margarita. Some of the specialty slices can be greasy. I got a chicken marsala slice and a pepperoni slice and both were a bit on the greasy side, which is why my top slices are what they are.
I’ve never had anything other than pizza from here, (my mom kind of spoiled me with Italian food), but all the other dishes look pretty good.
The staff here are always fast, courteous, and helpful.
Not as good some of the other locations I’ve been to, but still a pretty decent spot for slices.

Anthony Franco’s is our pizza place of choice in the area. Mostly we order the pasta minestrone, garlic knots, and pizza to go, but when we dine in, the staff is pleasant. It’s busy and everything is fresh, so be prepared to wait for the soup if you order it. It’s worth the wait though. Overall, it’s a pizza place, so it’s nothing fancy, but the food is tasty.

Had been thinking about coming here for a while. Seems busy, clean and decent. Finally stopped by to order a seafood-​based antipasto appetizer and a half-​and-​half pie (Chicken Francese and Tomatoes/​Basil/​Mozzarella). Waited about an hour while tables arriving later than we had got served before we did. Pizza finally arrived, appetizer followed about 5 minutes later. Seafood sauces had run all together, mussels tasted fish and some were closed still, shrimp was rubbery and overcooked and eggplant rollatini was bland but for the seafood/​shellfish sauce it was soaked in since it shared the same dish. Pizza was mediocre, decent crust, with Francese the better of the two sides, although dripping in oil. The other half was completely bland. Shame but won’t repeat. Hopefully our visit was an anomaly, but there’s much better within a stone’s throw. For NJ pizza, embarrassing.
