We hope you’re paying attention because we’re about to make you an offer that you can’t refuse. Let us change your life by introducing you to our good friend of the family - Frank’s Pizza and Italian Restaurant, hands down one of the best pizza places in Raleigh, NC. 

Seriously y’all, leave your cookie-cutter coupons at the door because they just can’t compete with the craftsmanship at Frank’s Pizza.

Since 1976, Frank’s has been making your favorite Italian foods with the freshest ingredients to woo even the pickiest of palettes. With their homemade crusts and sauce, you can genuinely taste the thirty years of experience behind every plate served. Don’t believe us? Ask any patron! Locals will vouch for the consistency and creativity behind every recipe.  Not to mention, Frank’s Pizza & Italian Restaurant was recently named the 2020 Best Italian American Restaurant by The News & Observer and featured in Indy Weekly’s “Waiting for Good Dough” list.

Speaking of, let’s dish on these dishes!

The menu is expansive, giving you plenty of reasons to come back for multiple meals a week. (Not to mention, daily specials ensure that you never have to pay a premium for a family-style dinner). Tackling this menu is a bit easier if you break it down into three basic categories: pizza, plates, and sandwich + platters. That’s not to say that Frank’s salads, calzones, and spaghetti aren’t to die for, but c’mon people, we only have so many characters to make an impression, and we’ve got to leave something up to the imagination! 

“Word to the wise: when you go, pick up a bowl of sauce on the side. Whether it’s for dipping your crusts or bringing leftovers back to life, it’s a sauce you could get lost in. ”

Let’s talk Pizza. The homemade crust and special red sauce recipe have easily secured Frank Pizza’s spot in the Triangle’s top pizzerias. From gourmet specialties to thin-crust, every type served is consistently phenomenal thanks to the quality ingredients and time-tested flavors. Pleasing a picky eater? The Sicilian Cheese is a 16’’ Square Pizza and can only be described as a delectable work of art. Clocking in at just over an hour to make from scratch, the Sicilian Cheese is one of the most popular and widely requested pies at this mom and pop shop due to the craftsmanship and care that goes into its creation. 

Honestly, every night could be pizza night, so long as it’s Frank’s.

As if your mouth wasn’t watering enough, we haven’t even discussed the pasta + plates. Your favorites brought to life even better than your mama could’ve made. From spaghetti to ziti and all the iti’s in between - every dish is worth exploring. Many of the delicious meals are anchored in the made from scratch marinara sauce, a recipe perfected over years of trial and error. Word to the wise: when you go, pick up a bowl of sauce on the side. Whether it’s for dipping your crusts or bringing leftovers back to life, it’s a sauce you could get lost in. 

We’re sure we’ve convinced you to stop by, but if somehow we haven’t, let’s discuss one more thing: it’s a family business. Now, more than ever, it’s essential to support our neighbors as much as possible. Frank’s is an institution that has truly helped define its neighborhood for over 50 years and deserves to be there for years to come. From socially distanced pizza parties in the parking lot to endless call-in orders, the whole team is grateful for the support they’ve received during the COVID-19 pandemic from their community, and they look forward to continuing to serve! 

So what’d ya say? Wanna meet for a slice? We can head over to the Longview Modern Farmhomes after and explore the remaining few homes! Let’s talk soon.
