I've always heard great things about this place, and a few people I know have also told me to go ahead and try it. So last night after work, I caved. Now keep in mind it is a holiday weekend, so it could either be really busy or really slow. Fortunately for me it was really slow. Ordered a white pie and garlic knots by phone, told about 20 minutes for it to be ready....and it was! Side note....One of the things I hate is when I'm given a time, I show up after said window and it's still not ready. Now I don't mean another minute or two but more than five really grinds my gears. Of course on my way over to the place I was told to get other stuff, and of course I caved in. I picked up two slices of their Margherita and two slices of their Baked Ziti. Now I have two comparisons to go by, slices that have been reheated and a pie made to order. When all was said and done everything was delicious. They reheated the slices perfectly and they were just as fantastic as the pie made to order. It's hard to find a good white pizza that doesn't overload on the garlic, and they nailed it. Their Margherita was even more delicious, not too much of an overload on any one ingredient. As far as the Baked Ziti slice, it was gone before I could even try a taste. Guess I'll have to end up going back! read more

While shopping on route 17 for the day, I remembered that I had bookmarked this place so we stopped in for a late lunch today. I had a plain slice. My fiance had a slice of chicken parm pizza and a plain sicilian. We shared garlic knots. My slice was good, consistent with greater NY area pizza. However, with the first bite I knew it wasn't one of my favorites. My fiance agreed with his slices. The knots were very good - krispy and brown on the outside, doughy and greasy on the inside. I wished there had been a little more crushed garlic on the outside (you can never have enough on knots!!) Overall, not bad and I would come back for a quick bite to eat. read more

Best Pizza around. Great sandwiches and dishes too. This place has THE BEST SPECIALTY SLICES!!! The buffalo chicken pizza and the chicken bacon ranch pizza are off the charts! SERIOUSLY! OK before you say "this guy doesn't know real pizza" try it, not every pizzeria has to be Napolitan or authentic to be good. this place is what it is and it's good. salivating as i write this read more

Best pizza in the area - especially the Grandma's Sicilian. Pastas, salads, sandwiches - all great. You know it's good, because the Paramus cops are always here. Good sign. read more

Their pizza is great. I mean, this is New York style pizza and its a shame I can only get it in NJ. Great amount of cheese and sauce and its oh so flavorful! The pasta is good too. Sometimes it can be hit or miss, but the pizza is great. The place is nice. Brightly lit and a lot of seating. Delivery is also hit or miss. Sometimes it will show up in 15 mins and sometimes in 2 hrs, but I suspect this is because they are so popular. If you are a pizza person, I definitely recommend it. read more

Anthony Francos Pizzeria - Paramus - Italian Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Ok unfortunately the garlic knots were terrible. The appetizer sampler wasn't as bad but pretty much frozen items such as mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, and chicken heated up and sent out. To be fair that's not much different than other pizzerias. I guess I only give style points if you make your own but otherwise no deductions. Now on to the pizza. We got the buffalo chicken pizza. Generous amounts of chicken on it. However the crust was very thick (maybe to hold the quality of chicken on each slice?) which I don't really expect nor want out of a North Jersey pizza. Also I like my buffalo chicken pizza topped with blue cheese or ranch drizzled on top or at minimum given to you on the side. This none of those came with this pizza. So basically this pizza wasn't my cup of tea but it was decent in flavor, packed with chicken, and good for those who like thicker crust pizza. Just to give you a feel for the heft of a slice I would say one or max two is enough to feed an adult. It was a bit better after crisping the bottom of the crust up until it was stiff enough to hold on the chicken without going limp. read more

Average pizza place - order from here often they deliver in my area of work. Frequently get their salads,pizza & veg Stromboli never disappoints. read more

Not just pizza Food excellent Service fast Have been several times and food is steady Veal piccata and meat ravioli are my favorite read more

The deep dish pizza is ALWAYS dry when they reheat it but I'm not sure what they can do about it. The chicken parm hero COULD be one of the best around but the chicken is either previously frozen (Not fresh) or just old. Every time. They could fix these things as their sauce is fantastic. read more

Best pizza in Paramus. Hands down. Delivery service is very nice and fast. This go-to spot.

Superb red sauce Italian and good pizza too. This is red sauce Italian that tastes like someone's Italian grandmother (the kind who KNEW how to cook, not the kind whose cooking smelled like dirty socks) made it. Shrimp primavera in a pink sauce exploding with plump shrimp and overflowing with fresh vegetables in a pink sauce. A sausage-and-broccoli rabe appetizer big enough for an entree -- pick up one of these on your way home from work, throw a bag of cavatelli in a pot when you get home and have dinner in 10 minutes. Gnocchi that are the perfect balance of density and light, not to heavy, in a delicious, slightly sweet red sauce. A side of meatballs big enough for four people -- good, tasty, in a perfect red sauce with just the right amount of garlic and ratio of meat to crumbs. Amazing, amazing, amazing food and a great value. read more

Good pizza and great chicken parm made with fresh and tasty ingredients. Service is quick and attentive. Its always buzzy at lunch time for a reason. read more

Someone in my company orders from this restaurant at least once a day and today I received the worse customer service when ordering for delivery. The individual who answered the phone hung up on me twice when trying to place my order. I will not be ordering from here again and I will make it my business to make sure as many people in my company don't either. - RSM Employee read more

Food is good,counter people are nice But the Bolognese sauce lacks flavor read more

My husband and I ordered chicken scarperelo and chicken franchese to be delivered. Both dishes arrived with so much liquid in it that we thought we were having chicken soup. Never again!!! read more

The manager Paul is very rude. they delivered the wrong food and his only remedy was to wait another 30 to 40 minutes to swap out the food Refused to adjust the price even though I was willing to keep it and be charged the correct price. read more

LOVE this place!!! Great Italian food & Pizza!!!! The people that work there are so friendly. They make you feel like family. I eat out every night of the week & this place is on my weekly stop for real Italian food!!! You have to try it, have not had a bad meal & I'm there once a week like I say. read more

Food was average Italian fare. The mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders were frozen not home made. Pizza was good. Service excellent! I wanted to suggest u have tables with chairs not just booths. My boyfriend is rather large and was not comfortable in the booth to enjoy his meal. read more

Cool place, bright, clean, and spacious. Food is well prepared. I had a buffalo chicken whole wheat wrap and my wife had a cheese calzone, both meals were excellent! read more

I worked in this pizzeria for over 5 years and my expercing was very good, I have learned a lot from them. The food was amazing especially the salads and pizzas. read more

I really like this place. The pizza is very good, love the white pie and the upside down. The upside down has a nice crispy crust and the sauce on top of the cheese, it's delicious. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. Just wish they delivered to New Milford. read more

The best pizzeria in Bergen county! If you are a local you would agree. The staff is awesome the food is fresh and Delish. A nice local convenient spot to grab a quick slice but a very good slice of pizza also love their chicken Frances's and the signature house grilled chicken salad! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area and in a rush. read more

It's funny. My two favorite pizzerias in town have kinda stinky staff. Not always. But most times. Anyways, the food is awesome! My favorite dinner, which no one else can ever get just right, is the Tortellini Della Nona. Mmm, omg. So good. I recommend this establishment. read more

I love this place, best pizza I have ever had. There are so many selections to choose from. Every slice I have had to date are just incredible. I'm from Lyndhurst but whenever I am in Paramus, this is the ONLY place I go to... YUMMY!!!!! read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE & EXCELLENT food!! Food is delicious and they are perfect for catering food in your home. The chicken francese and chicken Marsala were amazing!! We had a party for 35 people and spent $640 for a huge variety of different trays and everyone at the party loved the food and had more than 1 serving each & had so much to choose from! They came and set all the food up in sternos and it helped me get the party ready! They also provided plates/forks/knives/appropriate serving spoons. And we only spent $640 because I always like to order more than we need. The person taking my order even was nice enough to tell me it was a lot of food & that I would have extra but I insisted and he was right! I had left overs the next day and it was great! We even had a few more people come that we didn't plan on and fed all of them too! Thank you Anthony Franco's!! read more

Amazing pizza!! The crust is just perfect... not too thick or thin and cooked nice and crisp....they are also very generous with the toppings and their prices are fantastic..... $19.99 for a large meat lover's pizza. They have all kinds of toppings and also white pizza. We also tried the eggplant rollatine which wasn't bad for a pizza joint. Great food and nice friendly people! read more

I get the same three pies every time, a spicy Hawaiian, a white pie, and a cheeseburger bacon pie. They are freaking amazing. great pizza when your just starving! I like my pizza a lil crispy so I usually pick up the pie or pies and put them in the toaster oven. anyways can't say much for the ambiance in the place, or for anything other than their pizza, but the pizza is very very good. read more

By far one of my fave pizzerias of all time, it's so sad I'm not up this way too much anymore. A few years ago I used to manage the Vitamin Shoppe in the same shopping plaza so AF was my jam when I needed a delicious meal. I live closer to the one in Parsippany---not sure if they're franchised or just a small group of businesses owned by different guys but I've been to several and this one run by Greg is by far THE BEST. They have the best selection of specialty slices, some are thick some are thin, all are delicious!! One of my faves was a thin slice with breaded eggplant and ricotta....other noteworthy slices, the grandma slice, the chicken parm, cheesesteak...oh I could go on. They also do awesome dinners and sandwiches...I've had a bunch of their dishes---all are worth ordering and they give you ginormous portions. They have a decent selection of wraps too, one of my faves when I was trying to stay diet friendly would be grilled chicken, mixed veggies, and honey mustard---they have the best honey mustard, always a good chicken to veggie ratio, always tasty. The disappointing thing is that although I assume they share some recipes, there have been times when I was in Parsippany and I wanted my grilled chicken wrap....or a specific slice, and it wasn't the same. Don't get me wrong they're still decent in Parsippany buy Paramus is the bees knees as far as I'm concerned. Probably the best thing about them is that they have had some of the same people working their for a long time so you get to see familiar faces when you walk in, and most of the time they know what you're having. I haven't seen those guys in almost 2 years and they still recognized me when I stopped in this weekend....that's good people in my book! read more

What a great lunch! Large slices with with lots of cheese. Crispness was perfect. Live the tomato sauce. Great service from friendly staff. Dining room was clean. All toppings and condiments are readily available. Prices resaonable. Will return when in area. read more

Quick and easy lunch to get for lunch break. They have a wide variety of menu items and they're made fresh. Usually order 2 times a week from them. read more

I just had to post a review after getting my takeout order tonight. Ordered a simple pizza and had it delivered. Nothing fancy, however when I took the first bite I burned the roof of my mouth (I'm not complaining). Was very impressed to see my dinner arrive piping hot, many pizza places can't accomplish this simple task. There pizza is the best (in my opinion) in Paramus. They also make a great hot sandwich. I love their veal parm hero. If you are in the mood for "pizza joint Italian food", I would highly recommend the place. read more

Used to be a great place. However, staff changed about 8 to 12 months ago and quality has deteriorated significantly. I no longer consider it a "great" pizza place. My guess is that its gotten very hard to find and keep a good authentic Italian staff to maintain the high quality and palate you would expect. With much better pizza options around I kinda avoid it now. read more

I went for lunch and they screwed up my order three times in three visits. Ruined my lunch each time. I think I have given them more than enough chances. Go across the street the food and service is much better. It's called Mangiamos. I literally went there after the screw up at this restaurant. What killed me is the look of the guy when the food came out wrong. I order a grilled chicken dinner with penne on the side. They gave me chopped up grilled chicken and broccoli rabe and penne. The guy looked at me like I should eat it. Really ticked me off, had to literally ask them to make what I ordered.... the item on their menu! So i asked them how long it would take after waiting 10 mins after the food came out wrong. Asked if it was not coiming in 2 minutes i would like to get a refund. He goes in the back and says it is coming right now....sure thats what they always say. I asked for my refund the guy goes how much did you pay??? I asked don't you have set prices or do you just make up prices on each item? Wacth out! This means they charge different each time, each counter person....sounds shady Sam. Smh.... see ya, never again. read more

This is my go to pizza place. Great Italian food at a great price. They also do an awesome job catering.

We made a delivery order to Anthony Francos - Paramus. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, prosciutto sandwich, meatball parmesan, and calamari. They sent us a tuna sandwich and plain cheese pizza instead of pepperoni and prosciutto!! We called them immediately and stated that they sent us the wrong order. They refused to send us our correct order and said there's nothing they can do about it. We could not believe they said that, and we just wanted our correct order! They did not want to give us our pepperoni pizza, but was willing to send us our prosciutto sandwich. Bad customer service ! One star! read more

Really bad services.Ordered 3 different times and all three times came wrong.Called up manager and manger did nothing for me .Very pissed off customer that's order alot.NEVER AGAIN AND YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS SO KEEP "THE MONEY" read more

Anthony Francos is perfect for my family- we all like different meals and they couldn't be more accommodating! The food is delicious and portions are plentiful. We get everything from pizza to salad to chicken parm dinners, etc. My kids love getting their own drinks from the soda machine. We are usually a "to-go" type family but when we want Francos (which is at least once a week), we enjoy sitting in the restaurant, which is clean and spacious. My boys especially like the sports games which are playing on multiple TV's. Highly recommend Franco's- we love it! read more

Had a buffalo chicken slice and a white slice - both were really great, really cheesy, really good! Would def. return.

We order lunch at work from this place and everything is always very fresh. Great antipasto salad with grilled chicken and hot peppers! Always good !!! read more

I love this place! They have a huge variety of specialty pizzas on their counter, ready to be heated up and devoured. Every slice is delicious too. I also love their wraps! Try the grilled chicken Caesar and add fresh mozzarella and bacon! Mmmm staff is always in a good mode and the restaurant is always clean! read more
