The pizza is pretty good but the prices are completely ridiculous for what you get.

If you desire really tasteless food, pasta clumps, cold food that is supposed to be hot, and wrong orders, then this is your go to place! I will not be ordering from Francesco Pizzeria again. There are soo many better places in the area.I ordered the following:1. Chicken Alla Andrea Lunch special w/ capellini in olive oil & garlic. I paid extra for the pasta. It was literally full of clumps, and completely tasteless.The “Alla Andrea” portion simply was flavorless. The chicken was just about 1/8” thick and it was actually quite hard to cut. The sauce was supposed to be a roasted garlic sauce, but it was a simple marinara with no roasted garlic. It tasted like it was directly from a can of unsalted tomato puree.2. I ordered two Isabella Chicken Wraps. That really was a mistake. I asked for no spinach or mozzarella and to sub tomatoes and onions. The roasted red peppers and balsamic vinegar that were supposed to be in the wraps were completely missing. They were also delivered completely cold. The chicken, although cold and unseasoned, was surprisingly tender.3. The salad that comes with the lunch special is comprised of iceberg lettuce, a few tiny pieces of diced cucumber and tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded carrots.4. The Tiramisu was the only decent item ordered. It most likely was purchased through a third party source.

Unbeatable experience with classic atmosphere and incredible dishes- dropped in as I'd wanted to visit for a little while and I am so glad I did. The owner Mr. Vito was incredibly gregarious and folksy and took the time to chat with me- THIS is why I'm outspoken about supporting FAMILY OWNED RESTAURANTS and avoiding franchises- because you can't get the service and care at a franchise place that you get at a family owned restaurant like Francesco Pizza. Digging Milltown with every visit (I work about 20 miles away) and Francesco's reinforced my feelings for the town. Thanks to the entire team- the food was savory and fantastic, my Grandmother was Sicilian so I know what I'm talking about. Adored this place, will be back!Vegetarian options: Everything you could expect for anyone not eating meat: pizza, pasta, salads, etc.Parking: There were plenty of parking spots but just to be sure I asked the boss as I walked in if I was fine and he put me at ease, was a great experience!

I think we found our pizza spot. I'm definitely a pizza snob. Tried Marias originally. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Decided to try Francesco's pizza. So glad we did. The pizza was delicious. Had a cheese & pep pie & it did not disappoint. Will definitely be back.

The best Italian restaurant I've ever went, my friend and I wanted some pasta and this so happened to be close by. Best decision I've ever made. The food was very inexpensive and worth the price I got these 2 big plates of pasta and me and my friend couldn't even finish the delicious dishes. It came out to like 35 dollars, will be returning to. The service here is so wonderful and friendly

Nice people and good food-- thin crust pepperoni pizza was excellent. I love their sausage and peppers sub (the onions were sweet and delicious. )The staff is friendly and kind for a neighborhood pizzeria. Give them a shot. Would love to have small businesses like this one stay around for a long time.

I have Been eating Francesco pizza for a while now and recently I feel like the food has turned for the worst. Very salty sauce and soggy pizza with the cheese always falling off. Ordered today and pizza was salty and they didn’t even bother to cut the pizza. Both pies ?. Had to run to Walgreens for pizza cutter ?I don’t like giving bad reviews but they most change something. Especially with another pizzeria in town.

I’ve been to Francesco Pizza since 2000. The foods are delicious. I love their chicken salad, turkey subs, meatballs sandwich, and the pizza is so good. Everyone is so nice especially the owner and his brother. The service is great and they make delivery too.
This review is exclusively for ladies out there. Beware of some of the workers(one in particular) in this establishment attempting to disrespectfully flirt with and hit on women that enter this restaurant.My girlfriend sat down to try and enjoy her slice of pizza and soda, and this one character that worked there went to sit down with her and started trying to hit on her and pick her up.What kind of establishment is this ????Ladies stay away!!!!

Their pizza is great. Love the meatball parm hero.
Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Ordered for takeout. Chicken Parm was great. Pizza and garlic knots..... very tasty. Buffalo wings were yummy! Will definitely go back!
My husband's family introduced me to this local pizzeria not too long algo. Before I tried it out, they kept insisting it was the BEST pizza ! So I gave it a try and they were absolutely right, the flavor was plentiful and the pizza was cooked just right. Definitely a 10/10 pizza spot if you're in the area or looking for a new place to buy your pizza from !
