I'm not a huge fan of NJ food but Anthony Franco's is one of my exceptions. When you walk in it looks like your typical pizza parlor with some seating off to the side, and there's a party room in the back. I was there for an event and got to sample their delicious food including eggplant rollatini, calamari, and more. And let's not forget the yummy tri-colored pizza - perfect in every way! The staff was attentive and I definitely recommend this pizza restaurant for more than just pizza. read more

11/14/2025 Always looking for great pizza. Found a great place 'close' a few weeks ago, but didn't want to travel so far, so we ordered 'take out' from AF. I wonder about the 3.5 rating because we thought the pizza was just about as good as it gets. I ordered our pie 1/2 plain, 1/2 pepperoni... very thin and crispy... along with a side of mussels marinara. Ok, the mussels had a little sand (very little) but were plump with a very tasty marinara sauce. The pie was very thin and crispy as I had ordered. Really, a great pie that I would happily order again. Service, both on the phone ordering... and when picked up was very friendly. Might have to stop in and sit next time... It is a BYO. read more

It was a good serving size for the price and feeding one person. The pizza itself was tasty and I'd definitely get it again. I got delivery so I can't say how good the service was or the ambiance. read more

I don't like most of the Anthony Franco locations in the area but this one impressed me. 3 dozen perfectly cooked cheese pies delivered to an event i attended, crisp crust and tasty! Definitely worth another try. read more

There's so much good pizza in this area and AF is no exception. It's one of our preferred places and we've ordered from here many times and will continue to do so! Great NY style pizza with a good crust. It's crisp and tender at the same time and reheats well. read more

In the area, two places I recommend for pizza: Wayne Ale House for Chicago-style bar pie and here, Anthony Franco's for Sicilian, pan crust and NY style/thin crust pizza (very little or no flop even after driving home). If looking for Neapolitan pizza, you would need to venture north, out to nearby Pazza in Franklin Lakes. AF also makes great sandwiches, pasta and other Italian-American dishes. They recently added wonderful burgers to the menu; Highly recommend the American cheeseburger and Swiss mushroom burger. Even with all the inflation, their prices are pretty reasonable, in my opinion, and they are very generous with the portions. One main dish feeds two people easily. Only criticism (minor) - Their garlic knots need more garlic and oil. Recommend ordering online for pick up. After certain number of orders, you get $10 off your next order. You can easily modify your order online as well. This restaurant is very popular, so expect a full house, especially on Friday/Saturday evenings. Service - excellent : 9 cannolis read more

So we started the year off thinking we had found our go to pizza place in town and then here comes Anthony Franco the last month or so totally surprising us with its light and airy pizza... and is it just me or does the crust have a little sweetness to it, too? Whatever they're doing, I'm loving it, their pizza is top-notch. Cannot wait to try some other pies as well.. the buff chicken and chicken/bacon/ranch both looked especially good last time I picked up. Hubs has also been trying wings from various pizza shops across town and commented that their wings were some of the best he's had so far. Last visit we ordered the boneless and I have zero complaints about them. Nicely breaded, fried up and sauced just the right amount. I do, however, have some minor complaints with the garlic knots. Aw man, I love garlic knots, but unfortunately, Anthony Franco's are just not worthy of my love. I found them smaller than others, and just not buttery/olive oily/parmesean-y and garlicky enough. And while we've only ever ordered pizza to go, I have been inside the restaurant to order/wait and it is such a vibe. Very old school, a little kitch, and 100% reminds me of my great aunt and uncle's kitchen with it's fresco paintings.. it's just missing a bowl of ceramic fruits. :-P read more

A solid pizza restaurant with a good variety of pizzas and a wide selection of Italian dishes. The portions are generous and the cost is reasonable. Don't expect anything high end, but still expect good pizza for a good value. read more

Another local pizza gem for me and the family! We love it here. Staff is attentive and friendly. Pizza was delicious- great amount of sauce and you can't go wrong with fresh mushrooms. We ordered to go but next time will dine in. Place looks great and cozy. Will def come again! read more

Stopped in for dinner and usually we order pizza but we decided on the Gnocchi Bolognese and the Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce. Our waitress was super pleasant and we were surprised how well our dinners were. read more

Nice big place in a shopping center. We entered around opening time and there already about a dozen or more specialty pizzas behind glass waiting to be ordered. We opted for a couple of regular pizzas. Sauce and cheese were good. Crust could have been crispier but sometimes that's tough when you are taking it home in a box. A decent place in the area to get a pie! read more

The food was delicious! The specialty pizza was so good. Had not been there for a while but the food still

Pizza here is good (as a pizzeria should be). They have a lot of variations of toppings. I love their tuna salad, it's always packed with tuna and not stiffed with tuna. However, one item on the menu that needs a re-evaluation is the wings. They used to be so breaded and crispy and recently they switched to having wings that are basically skin only, it's not as good. The breaded wings that are actually breaded give that enjoyment of biting into it & feeling like you actually having a wing. These wings feel like you just sucked the skin with no meat, that's how meatless it is. If you go, I'd stick with the pizza. read more

Best pizza, sandwiches and service around. Total family favorite. Thanks to the Anthony Franco's team. The best. Very clean inside. read more

We called ahead before placing a pickup order to ask what specialty slices were available. Among the options listed were penne vodka and eggplant rollatini slices--so that's what I ordered. But when we picked up the food just 10 minutes later, they somehow had already "run out" of the eggplant slice. Instead of telling us that, they slapped some eggplant, ricotta, and globs of sauce onto a plain slice like it was some lazy, last-minute substitute. It was greasy, floppy, falling apart--and absolutely disgusting. I've had the actual eggplant rollatini slice from here before, and this wasn't even close. When we called to say the slice wasn't what we ordered, they casually admitted they had run out of it. No apology. No heads-up. Nothing. If they had just said something at pickup, I would've chosen something else--like a second penne vodka slice, which they still had in the case at that very moment. But instead of making it right, they claimed they had none left and refused to do anything about it. That's horrible customer service. Your staff messed up, not me--and the way you handled it showed how little you value your customers. We even offered a few simple ways they could fix it, and they still refused--knowing full well I'd be writing this review. They also refused to let us speak to the manager about it. You served me sloppy food I didn't order, then doubled down instead of making it right. Disgusting food and disgusting service tonight. read more

If the hustle and bustle behind the counter and plenty of folks coming in and out is not enough to say that the food and service are wonderful, then read on! The comfortable and spacious surroundings far exceeds the average pizza place in Jersey. The staff from phone call to counter engagement is always wonderful. Whether it is pizza, sandwiches, dinners, or more, we are often satisfied. Today, we picked up our favorite Arugula thin crust Sicilian pie! Yummy! Enjoy! read more

Decided to get lunch from this location. The order was called in, and I ordered the buffalo chicken wings and a slice of pizza. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and went to the counter. The food was ready and the price wasn't bad. I paid and left. When I dug in, I wasn't a fan of the wings. It was a but too salty, and the pizza needed more sauce, in my opinion. All in all, I had an ok experience. read more

We held a bridal shower in their party room. The food was excellent. Guests raved over the pasta salad and the cannoli's. The portions were generous and the choices were numerous. The staff was very accommodating, reassuring me every step of the way that it would be a successful event. Nicole was attentive and met every request during the event. I highly recommend Anthony Franco's for your events and just for dinner :) read more

Honestly, food was amazingly delicious, They forgot to put the pizza in the oven, so the service was alright. I got the Chicken Parmigiana. So good! It's so big, I could live in here. So much room and space. read more

Anthony Franco's in Butler was our go to forever but took a steep dive in quality so haven't been back in years. Stopped in this location because was in the area and was really good. Much bigger than looks from outside, people working very nice and a ton of specialty slices. I just had plain and was excellent. read more

Brian the Manager reached out and gave my Partner a credit for the meal. he was professional and apologetic.

Been ordering from Anthony Franco's for years. Food has always been great, but certain items have become way pricey recently. Had a sausage and broccoli rabe slice from the display case today, and all I can say is, Wow! Have had their regular pizzas before, which have been excellent and today's sleep ce was amazing! I've definitely been missing out! Looking forward to other specialty slices in the fute! read more

Owner is argumentative and does not act like the customer is always right. The pizza is fine but customer service is key.

The appetizers were very good and the main Courses were equally good and all the employees were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this establishment to all my family and friends. read more

Anthony Franco's generously donated 5 pizzas to our nonprofit event - AFSP NJ Ride to Fight Suicide. The pizza went fast because it was so good. Thank you Anthony Francos!!! read more

Mainly use delivery services. Food is hot, well made and savory. Very reliable. Especially enjoy their veal Florentina their salads are always fresh. read more

I love their calzone, is full of cheese and ham. Sometimes they let it burn a little bit , but , after all is a good food

First off the food here is great. I have ZERO issues with the food. My issue is with the delivery. They must be trying something new the past couple months. 2 weeks ago I ordered a pizza it took 2 hours to get here. I live 10 minutes away!!! Last night about 5 pm I tried again. It took an hour and a half. When you call you always get the standard response "it's on its way" If you are to busy to deliver in a reasonable amount of time you should call your customers and tell them. Note to management: What you are doing with you're deliveries is NOT working. read more

Best sicilian slice i have ever had, and i grew up in NYC! All the pizza is great here, but the sicilian and margarita slices in particular are delish!!! Service is also really good! read more

I drove straight to Anthony's from the Newark airport, EWR, because it was close to my hotel. I couldn't tell if I was to order at the counter or just sit down and someone would take my order, so I headed to the restroom to relieve myself and wash my hands expecting to eat some delicious pizza. Paper towel dispenser was empty so I dried my hands as best I could on my pants and headed to the counter to order, or be told to have a seat. No less than 5 employees were standing around chatting with no regard to my presence. I saw what appeared to be a terminal, cash register, or whatever we're calling them now so I headed to the end of the counter by this screen. There I noticed it appeared maybe I place my order myself so I began. Dine in, then New Order, then it asked for an employee# and I knew I was mistaken. The employees carrying on amongst themselves clearly didn't care that I existed much less in this place of business. I walked next door to Primo Hoagies and had a fine sandwich for dinner. At least I didn't lose any money at Anthony Franco's. read more

The entire experience was terrible. The fried calamari was a store bought frozen pile of garbage. Don't understand why they can't buy fresh since it's cheaper. Other restaurants in town serve it. The food took forever to come to the table. I ordered the chicken francese which I thought would be on a bed of pasta. She asked me did I want to add a side which to me sounded like an xtra charge so I passed. So I spent $20 on 1 chicken breast cut in half with sauce. That's absurd. Not once did she come check on our table to see if food was ok. Also $4 for one sausage slice is ridiculous. They love to price gouge. I left a $5 tip but now I regret it. Should have only been $2-$3 tip. This place left such a sour taste in my mouth in more ways than one and my parents and I only ate half and took the rest home because we just wanted to get the hell out. NEVER AGAIN. If they need someone to make things clear for them and show them how to run a restaurant I'll gladly show them considering I work in the industry. read more
