New found love! This is excellent pizza with quality ingredients. My husband and I consider ourselves pizza connoisseurs and are not fans of chain ones (okn wait, Casey’s is the exception) . I don’t typically order plain cheese, but my son didn’t finish his and I was curious about the flavors. It was also simply delicious.

Can’t believe this place only got 4.2 stars. The pizza is not a typical American pizza, it is more Italian style of pizza that they are not trying to put tons of ingredient to overwhelm your taste buds, instead, they are giving you a good taste of the dough itself!

Cool restaurant and delicious food. I came with a large party and everyone really like their food. The only one that did not get fantastic reviews was the lasagna. Personally ordered the squash salad with salmon, delicious!

We had a great experience here! The meatball pizza & the corn pizza was awesome! I’m a pizza purest so it’s always red sauce for me but the thyme cream sauce on the corn was amazing! I got it with the gf crust which was ok…could have been a titch crispier (& that’s why I’m not giving 5⭐️).

We don’t live near Franka, but eat here as often as we can. The wood-fired pizzas are amazing—thin, with perfectly chewy back crust and fresh toppings. The atmosphere is light and relaxing, and we especially enjoy sitting outside in nice weather. The staff is extremely nice, making the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Franka Pizzeria is absolutely delicious! The brussels sprouts are amazing but the pizza is what I love the most about this place. Amazing flavor with fresh ingredients and options for red or white sauce. I’ve tried a couple different kinds of pizzas here and each time I try a new one, it’s my new “favorite”. The service is impeccable and I can sit outside but of the sun.

Very attractive downtown pizza venue with a variety of artisanal pies and a relatively limited beer selection. My sausage pizza was too spicy for my taste.

This was my first time finally trying Franka. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas to split between the three of us and had plenty of leftovers. We had the sweet potato fries and spinach artichoke dip and I will order both again. The sweet potato fries came with the most delicious dipping sauce. I ordered a chai tea latte and it was perfection. The atmosphere is relaxing and fresh. All around this is the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant I have been to in a while. For sure my new favorite restaurant in the East Village.
