Franco’s Pizza & Pasta

I eat here all the time. To me, this place has the most friendliest service in Delaware. No match. The food is great and for a great price. This place has some of the largest served portions of food around. Always go home with leftovers. Superb tasting meals and great Italian cuisine. They will make it to your liking. Never have had to wait on service as they are right there to serve you. Just walk in and sit where you want too. My favorite place to eat. This is a ten star place. Five for service and 5 for the food.

This is one of the best places to eat in Dover. A real hidden gem serving authentic Italian fare. The portions are crazy big and the staff is exceptional. I eat here at least once every time I am in town.

Love this place! There lunch specials are delicious! Service is outstanding! Never disappoints!

I have always loved this restaurant. The food is delicious and hot. Always clean and a great staff. This is the one restaurant I take all my out of town friends too. They even have made me food that I requested that was not on the menu. This restaurant is a mom and pop place but it is a diamond. Enjoy

Excellent Italian restaurant, and the best Sicilian pizza around. The menu overall is reasonably priced, and the quantities are generous. Pleasant seating area if you care to dine in, and rarely a wait. Fast service, whether dine in or take out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Stopped here for lunch. We all got the lunch special. Bread at the table before meal was nice. The special included salad, bread, drink and 2 pieces of pizza for 10 bucks. To say the pizza was big would be like calling Everest a hill. The sub was way to much for even my big butt to eat all at once. Great food and a great deal. Brilliant

Four of us went to Francos for dinner last evening. Best Italian food in the Dover area. My veal was tender and done perfectly. Two people in our group had the Salmon special and said it was wonderful. Portions are large so come hungry or take home the remains in a box. We all said we would definitely go back.

Never dined in, only takeout. Pizza was yummy but very greasy. They are generous with toppings. Cheesesteak looked good, but was a little bland. Prices are a little high for my taste. $ 2.75 for a 2 liter is pretty ridiculous.

Pretty damn good pizza!!! am visiting my sister this week… in town from California… and the family all just HAD to try some local pizza. We took to Unilocal to guide us and WE ARE DEFINITELY HAPPYY! Their crust is so fresh and perfectly doughy/​chewy/​soft. Their sauce is not overwhelming and just mixed soooo well with the crust and toppings. Their is plenty of cheese and fresh toppings. Their veggie toppings are perfectly cooked too, not soggy nor crunchy, just perfect. Their wings are great and come with a side of hot sauce that is super spicy and yummy! They definitely pleased us and made US VERY HAPPY that we chose this place is our 1 night of pizza dinner!!!

Excellent meal and service as always. The server Marco was awesome, very friendly, attentive, and professional.

Slow service, no one takes their job seriously there except their manager

Bön Appetit! :-)
While passing through Dover (on our way to Ocean City, MD) we needed something simple for dinner.
After reading the reviews on Unilocal we decided to try it.
Very glad that we did!
Clean restaurant. Excellent service. Delicious food.
Now granted, we only had the tossed salad and a large pie but (a) the bread they put on the table was really, really good and came with a ‘dipping oil’, (b) the Italian salad dressing was also really good, and © the pizza — ½ cheese and ½ Hawaiian — was great! The pineapple and ham on the Hawaiian side were delicious!
I overheard a gentleman at another table say that his salmon was excellent.
Don’t know if /​when we’ll ever return (because we live 5 hours away) but I can honestly say that if we lived nearby we’d be here on a regular basis.
If you’re in Dover and you’re looking for good Italian please do give them a try. You’ll be very happy! :)

Wow now I love pizza & this pizza taste like pizza from NY! Fresh ingredients & Marco was very pleasant!

The very good food is offset by the service that can be maddeningly slow. The wait staff is friendly enough, but waiting 45 minutes to be served subs and a stromboli was making us wonder if they were kneading the bread and butchering the animals for the meat while we were waiting.
I would love to give Franco’s a higher rating, because the atmosphere is nice, the food is good, and you get a lot of food for your dollar. But I can’t overlook the service which makes you want to bring along a good novel to read while you’re waiting for your food to arrive.

Loooove their pizza! Best pizza I’ve had in Delaware. Warning: pizza is greasy! Thats why I like it so much! We always have the same waitress she is great and very welcoming!

I’ve yet to try a dish I didn’t like here.
The wait staff is incredibly friendly. The bread is amazing!

Just ordered the Tortellini Alfredo w/​sausage cut up and mixed. This was the very best tortellini I have ever had. Highly recommend.

service was meh…
food was awesome, stromboli, calzone, ziti, and lasagna. Family outing and portions are what the say.
would recommend to anyone.

We have gotten pizza carry out here before, but this was our first time dining in.
The service was friendly, but very slow. It was almost 15 minutes before someone came to take our drink order, although multiple servers called «just a few minutes» on their way by.
After our drinks were delivered, about five minutes later our server brought bread– which while tasty, is served on a plate with a handful of butter packages.
We ended up waiting almost 45 minutes for our pizza, during which time we weren’t even offered drink refills and never saw our server.
The pizza was fine once it arrived. I feel the best description for a pizza from here is simply «adequate».
I would eat here again to try the pasta dishes but the service leaves me not wanting to do that any time soon.

You go in by the McD’s on Route 10 or the entrance to General Green Apartments. It shares a lot with a small strip mall. The food is is very good, very fresh food. And affordable. We had a salad that all of our party agreed put Olive Garden to shame. Fresh, crisp, full of shredded carrot, tomato and other goodies, and the house dressing is really their own, no emulsifiers, just oil, vinegar, herbs and really tastes good. (But they have the regular dressings you may prefer.) Our lunch lasagna was a slice (not a block) of lasagna in a good marinara. The meat was not so great – kind of a purée of what we thought might be pork, with egg and breadcrumbs, almost like a meatloaf (solid, not chunks of loose ground meat or sausage.) The pasta was perfect however.
I prefer my lasagna cut as a block – this made the lasagna noodles into ribbons (if you can imagine like a layer cake, not like a sheet cake block? Do I make sense?) and none of us liked the meat part but we still really loved the lunch and gave it good marks. The bread is OUTSTANDING. Crispy, fresh, and real butter served with it. The price for three people (before tip and with just water/​lemon as drinks) was under THIRTY. We’ll be back.
