Everything is delicious here - but everyone should try the clam pie at least once.
Kathryn DFebruary 16, 2017Excellent experience. Kale salad, hot pepper pizza both stood out from the crowd.
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011I'm torn on Franny's sometimes. I have never heard anything but rave reviews, but often the pizza feels a little on the burned side for me. That said, the sides and salads are amazing. I could eat tho
solid pizza, but the pasta dishes are on another level. Get one pizza and share it and get the other stuff, their version of linguini with clams is particularly good.
Reinaldo Deliz GuzmanJune 24, 2013The fried squash blossoms with ricotta are to die for, and the broccoli pie is excellent, yes I said broccoli!!
Giulio del BufaloSeptember 22, 2013Food is amazing. Recommend the crostini to start and then both pastas and pizzas are excellent.
FunesMarch 28, 2016Do yourself a favor and leave room for the panna cotta. Holy crap! Finish off w/an espresso and some amari.
eddie brannanOctober 2, 2012The pig cheek terrine is amazing! If I could eat it every day I absolutely would. Pizzas are terrific too.
Jay MuntuNovember 2, 2016Awesome clam pizza, just don't be high and goto the bathroom downstairs - you'll get lost.
Travel ChannelNovember 17, 2010Don’t miss the amazing pizzas, pastas and house-cured meats at Franny’s. The eggs and spicy pickles and the prosciutto are not to be missed. – Adam Richman, Man v. Food Read more
Tarah FeinbergJuly 4, 2012Try the Slow-Cooked Fava Beans, Peas, Artichoke With Pancetta And Mint - Doesn't look pretty, but it was tasty. I hear the cucumber or barley salads are better.
im feelin the new location. way bigger. also, bucatini pasta is legit. i'd go for that over the pizza to change it up.
Shawn ChengNovember 1, 2013Clam pizza is OVERRATED. Get the sausage pizza and shrimp spaghetti instead.
Serious EatsJanuary 18, 2012A must-try pizza (everything else is pretty great, too). Sit in the garden if it's available and the weather permits. Read more
Wyatt FunderburkJanuary 3, 2015Everything is delicious. Amazing charcuterie program and the best pizza on the planet.
- Tarah FeinbergJuly 4, 2012Try the Panna Cotta With Cherries And Wood-Smoked Strawberries - Maybe the best I've ever had.
One of the finest short Ital wine lists in the city. You'll make out like a bandit under $50. Stand outs: Giacosa Arneis, Occhipinti Alea Viva, Voyat Rosso Le Muraglie, Roagna Bianco, Fubbiano Pampini
Sandy CJanuary 7, 2017I wasn't blown away. We had the tomato sausage pie as well as the prosciutto pie. Neither seemed worthy of the $20+/pie price tag. The service was great though.
Natalia ShuriginaNovember 7, 2014Skip the salumi plate. The pizza is excellent and the panna cotta is beyond words.

Joey XMarch 27, 2014The clam pizza is delicious in spite of being topped with the tasty but Ill-named "clam glaze."
- Tarah FeinbergJuly 4, 2012Try the Clams, chilis and parsley pizza - Scrumptious thin crust wood-oven pizza. Perfection.
Zoe CareyJuly 14, 2016Just stopped for a glass of wine. Very nice, and good service, but not super cheap.
One of my favorite places in brooklyn! Easily one of my favorite places in NY. Really just amazing pizza and the appetizers are excellent.
Luna Putzulu aka "luna matto"August 8, 2014The most expensive & tasty *american appetizer-sized pizza. Awesome wine list.
Sally YoonJune 1, 2012clam pizza, ricotta pie, Spanish rose wine, marinated string beans and housemade sausage
Best Pizza in BK/NYC, don't forget to order the pasta, it's just as good as their pie!
The clam pizza here is amazing. Clams, parsley, garlic and a whole lot of awesome.
geeJune 3, 2015The service was awful; hostess and server! The food, overrated. We had the zeppoli app and sausage and meatball pizza. It was good, but nothing to rave about. The crust was the best part!
Carlos RojasOctober 24, 2012Try the Pizza W/ Tomato, Provolone Piccante, Onions, Orregano And Olives - Love the dough!
If you've got room for dessert, the chocolate sorbetto (also available by the pint at Bklyn Larder) is amazing.
Kris ChuMay 21, 2013Consider bringing your own pizza cutter - if you want, you know, your pizza to be cut.
