Back in the day, like when Don Franco's didn't have an "Apollo" attached to it, I was here all. of. the. time. It was a family favorite growing up, and I honestly have no idea what I used to order. Honey mustard chicken something, maybe? I don't know. Just know I loved it and the friendly service. A dentist appointment brought me to my hometown the other night. Since I went straight from work, by the time my appointment was over, I was starving/ravenous/cranky and didn't feel like driving anywhere out of the way (not even to my beloved Sal's!). Don Franco's came to mind, so I looked up their menu on my phone, found two hoagies I wanted (the Godfather and the chicken salad), and placed my order. Was quoted $17 and change. After hanging up, I looked again and noticed that if you click on their items, you can see the prices for different sizes. It was apparently assumed that I wanted large hoagies. Both my fault and kinda theirs, too, because I've never-not had someone ask me about size preferences. Ah, well. Sorry, wallet. As for the actual hoagies: Geeeet them! Gah! The Godfather (spinach, melted provolone, chicken cutlets) was seriously fantastic. Like, really good. The chicken salad was nice, but did need an extra kick to it. Maybe celery? Or bacon? You can never go wrong with bacon! Despite neglecting this place for several years (6, to be exact), I'm so glad to see that the quality has remained unchanged. Gotta make a return trip at some point, for sure! read more

See all

I ordered Honey BARBECUE wings. Truly disappointed the wings were overly sweet the honey over powered the taste so you couldn't really taste the BARBECUE. It was like eating a sweet and that's not what I wanted. read more

We have been ordering a lot from here lately. So happy we found a place with really good salads! The Asian and Buffalo salad is really good! And they actually give you more than enough dressing without having to request more. The boneless chicken wings are very good and actually real chicken without it being all fat or fillers. The boardwalk pizza is delicious! Can't wait to try other things from this restaurant. Highly recommend try if your trying to find a good restaurant to order from! read more

If there were a NEGATIVE STAR review that is what would have been chosen. I called Don Franco's Apollo Pizza on Egg Harbor Rd in Sewell, NJ, to place an order for delivery for an office event. The woman who answered the phone took my order and all was fine. I needed to pay for the order by credit card, so once she was given the card information, she asked if I would like to leave a tip on the card for the driver. I told her to put $5.00 on the card and that I would give cash once the driver arrived. She said "ok" and the call was supposed to be ended. Unfortunately, since I was driving and using the hands free, I just waited for her to hang up her phone. The phone NEVER HUNG UP and she (counter girl) continued to say, and I quote: "SHE CLAIMS THAT SHE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU CASH WHEN YOU GET THERE, BUT I DOUBT THAT! AND IT WAS DEFINATLEY A BLACK GIRL!'" So, to the delivery driver, I WAS going to tip you in CASH upon delivery, however you can thank your RUDE, PREDJUDICE Co-worker for ruining that for you. This BLACK WOMAN has a GREAT CAREER and has no problem tipping. I actually ALWAYS OVER TIP INTENTIONALLY, because I know that jobs like that (yours and hers) NEED MY TIP to make ends meet. I will also spread the word to all of my SUCESSFUL FRIENDS BOTH BLACK AND WHITE to not patronize your company, as you do not respect EVERYONE! Do better! NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

The woman behind the counter was rude. The food we ordered was good but I hesitate to go back because of her. I thought maybe it was a one time thing, but I've heard from other people they had the same experience here. read more

After moving to Washington Township from California, we struggled to find decent pizza. Apollo is the best we have found. The whole family loves it. Greasy, cheesy NYC style pizza. Yum! read more

Buyer beware!!! Went in tonight for a pizza and the man with long brown hair running the register and the dark haired female packaging food weren't wearing their masks. They were down around their chins. When I walked in, they pulled them up. I turned around and told them they could keep the pizza. Half an hour later they called asking if I wanted my Pizza. I told them I didn't and they should be wearing masks appropriately. The girl said "it's hot and they slip down how do you expect us to wear masks all the time." You're handling food, I expect it. Never again. read more

honestly just ordered from this place not to long ago, and lemme just say- the food was absolutely disgusting. the chicken cutlet sandwich was hard and looked microwaved, the italian hoagie tasted raw and not fresh and like it's been sitting out all day. Also, the people at the front desk- their attitudes suck. have a nice day. read more

Ordered delivery. Food was really good, hot, and came quick. Delivery driver was friendly. The driver didn't get lost or have to call for me to come out, which is a big plus! Only suggestion I would say is to remember to add in napkins and utensils. Other than that keep up the good work! read more

I have been coming here for several years, and I was surprised to see how low their rating is. I have tried various food selections on their menu, and I enjoyed everything. The pizza and strombolis are delicious. They also have some unique sub sanwiches which are really good. read more

Closes place so I keep giving them a shot. Every single time they mess up the order. Every time I order they have a new person answering the phone that doesn't know the menu and probably doesn't know how to read. read more

We just had the worst greasy mess of a pizza I have ever had the misfortune of wasting $21 on. Washington Twp. has its fair share of bad pizza places but the pizza we ordered was so disgusting we threw it away after the two of us ate less then half a piece each. If I could leave zero stars I would. read more

Wow. I stumbled upon this online when looking up pizza places and was stunned to find that Apollos has an average of 3 stars. I've been coming here for years and the food is incredible. Sandwiches are gigantic and the pizza is awesome. Check out the pic. read more

Don Franco's Apollo Pizza - a sandwich with spinach and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Sewell, New Jersey

Food is pretty good. Haven't had anything over the top. Pizza and steaks, would get them again. Have been there several times and there doesn't seem to be much attention given to keeping the tables clean. Should be someone following up after each customer read more

I went into this establishment Saturday a little later in the day they were not busy but i waited over 30 minutes for someone to take my order because both of the girls behind the counter were playing on their phones and not paying attention one was even sitting in the counter then I watched one girl make a salad and sandwiches without gloves on right after she was playing on her phone. Also they seem like they're on drugs bloodshot eyes and always forgetting and messing up things every single time I go here. I'm not sure if they drug test their employees but they defiantly should! I don't think it's acceptable to have drug addicts handling my food, I even found long hair in my hoagie, no one wears hair nets. I will never go here again and I would recommend that everyone stay far away from this place they are not sanitary. read more

I used to order from Don Franco's all of the time but the quality has considerably fallen off. I still order from time to time because I love their sandwiches. The only thing that really sucks about this place is their customer service. The girls there are always very short tempered and rude! The store owner is also never there, so unfortunately I had no choice but to leave a negative review. Sal's in Sewell is a GREAT alternative and the counter girl always has a smile on her face and is extremely sweet : ) read more

Don't go here. We went to pick up our order, turns out they gave it away to another customer. They called the customer and had them bring back the food. Once the food finally came back, the women told us how much it was and my dad was on his phone. He went to grab the food and she said "your not fucking getting this for free." Apparently we can curse at customers at this establishment. We were willing to pay by the way. Disgrace. Writing a review on all of social media and telling all of TWP about this. read more

So whoever the so called "manager " is the ignorant girl at the front needs to be fired . I first called to ask about if they had any soup she rudely said NO and that was that . I called back and put in a 70 order . I specifically asked for seeded bread . she Was ignorant the whole time taking the order. When my order arrived only one steak had seeded bread. I called back and told them and said I'd like new steaks . Again with her rude trashy attitude blamed the kitchen and said they would make new ones and to give the old ones back ! I don't have a problem with giving food back but I also was in the food industry for years you don't take food back !!! What are you going to do with the steak resell it ?!!! Bottom line is I don't care about the steaks the money it's the ignorance of this so called manager . Your in a industry that you should be a people person and she proves she can't talk to people. I've been coming to them for years I'm done . I asked to talked to owner and his name and number and they said he's never there ! I hope he sees this and reaches out I'd love to speak with him . I know some great customer services females that can take her spot . Have a good night read more

So, my wife tried to use the $23.99 for two large pizzas coupon a couple of days ago. It was valid through July 16. When she called, she was told that they no longer honor that coupon even though it was still valid. I can't recall if I've ever heard a business do this. Businesses usually honor the coupons that have been distributed and advertised. The new price of the pizzas was $25.99. Here's the kicker. I just received the latest Today's Shopper in the mail today. Guess what? They are advertising $23.99 for two pizzas, valid through 7/27/22. Hey Don Franco's, what gives? As much as I enjoy their pizza, $27.82 for pizza and tax, then the complimentary tip of a couple of bucks, and I'm now at $30.00. I understand that supply chain issues and costs are hurting businesses but customers are getting hammered as well. As much as it pains me to say it, either someone dropped the ball and gave us bad information or Don Franco's is false advertising with their latest promotion. We are so disappointed and will be moving on. There are so many pizzerias and it's time to be a better consumer. read more

Not sure where the owner is but he has a bunch of little girls barely running his pizza shop. I went in there last weekend and had to leave almost immediately because this place smelled like a subway! Don't know if they let people piss on the floors or they just don't know how to properly clean but it was disgusting! I tried to call and order but a very rude girl told me they were closed at least 35 to 40 minutes before they actually close and then she hung up on me. I would go to any other pizza shop before ever getting food here again. read more

I ordered online and didn't arrive within time window of 1 hr When I called the customer services was horrible and my answer was it would be another 30 mins and ordering through Yelp is not accurate. My response. Why to you participate in online ordering if it isn't accurate. I got another rude comment. I ended up canceling my order and ordering form johnnys down the street. Customer service was awesome and food arrived on time as promised. Don Franco's just lost my business over poor customer service. read more

First time ordering from this place, and the food was really good.we ordered on line and had it delivered.tbe food was delivered hot and on time.we ordered the chicken cheestake sandwich a pizza and a sausage n pepper sandwich. I was a little hesitant because of some bad reviews but the food was awesome.the sandwiches werent greasy bread was fresh..my kids loved the pizza. read more

I have been going to Don Franco's for years now. Best Sandwiches in the TWP area with very good prices. I purchased their wings for the first time. I requested 20 wings with two different sauces. I get there to pick them up and instead of charging me the price for 20 they charged me the price for 2 10 pieces which cost more. Fine by me I guess cause I can understand the difficulty of saucing two batches of wings. Lady at the cash register was not pleasant at all. Her piercing gaze penetrated my soul and filled me with despair and agony. I grabbed my stuff and got out of there quickly. When I finally got home to enjoy my wings I find that they provided the wrong sauce for one of my 10 pieces. I definitely recommend this place but note that the customer service is trash. read more

Tonight I ordered wings, fries and pizza. I picked it up, and we waited 10 minutes for the food to be finished, which is fine. However after returning home, we did not have the fries in any of the bags. After calling, they said they would deliver them to my house. Two hours later, no fries and out a few bucks! Didn't receive a follow up call or any information after that. read more

Usually great food, but terrible tonight! Fries were burnt, sent no dressing with our salad, pizza was cold and did not include cheese with our cheese fries. Very disappointed!!! read more

I seriously can't get enough... It's a Small pizza place by my house.. Never really ordered from there unless I was getting big orders for parties but one night I had some friends over and we ordered their chicken wings... WOW. I've never had wings like these.. They are amazing. Perfectly cooked.. And the sauce is absolutely perfect I could swim in it... The girls at the register are a little bratty but hey, I'll take it for the good food. This is my go-to every weekend I love it! read more

Awful service. Called in an order for pickup and it somehow got lost. They thought I was nuts when I gave them my name and phone # almost putting the blame on me. The lady at the register couldn't of been any more rude, no apology or anything. They had to make food when I showed up and told me it would only take 10 minutes. 35 minutes later..... read more

Let's talk about the customer service- when any restaurant gives you the wrong order-regardless of who misunderstood-the customer is always right! 1.This place argued with me about what was said when placing an order. 2.They insisted on charging me for the right order even though they got it wrong. WOW. We usually order from here all the time, but not anymore. HORRIBLE customer service. I hope this is not the service the managers encourage. read more

I wish Don Franco's wasn't so expensive, because they make a really great hoagie here. My favorite rolls in township, for sure. We used to have parties catered by Don and every single sandwich was always delicious. read more

Awful, awful awful. Soda machine was broken and sprayed soda all over me. Ordered a tuna fish sandwich that never came. Was informed they were too busy. Never, ever going back read more

We got delivery. Took over a hour which okay I get but one sandwich was completely wrong, missing Half of what we asked and paid for. The other was suppose to have extra cheese and there was barely any to begin with, sandwich was suppose to come with mushrooms, there were 2 tiny mushrooms. Garlic knots weren't cooked all the way, dough on inside. Cheese fries were typical delivery cheese fries, ice cold. Diablo sauce only good thing about our 36$ meal. Never again read more

When you order a hoagie and you ask for no cheese why is there cheese on my hoagie? These people just can't get the order correct. Word of advice Apollo when you get the order wrong and make the person come back in to pick it up again throw them a bone .It goes a long way. Very poor attitude at the counter. read more

4 When they have Sarcones. The Apollo pizza is garbage greasy greek pan fried faulitness. This is a good spot for an authentic hoagie in the area. read more

Customer service is not their specialty. We have been a customers for many years but after a recent experience, will be no longer. After submitting an online order, as we have several other times, we waited for a delievery, and waited for almost one hour. This is one of the few instances when we used the delivery option as driving to the business is not an issue. When we called to get the status of the order we were asked, "What did you order?" Several explanations later the order was found but wasn't prepared. Due to already paying a tip for delivery we requested to have it delivered but this now became an issue atfter waiting and waiting....you get the point. Another phone call later and then a drive to the business resulted in a debate over what was said over the phone. The best part was seeing a delivery driver standing there while this pointless discussion was taking place. There was not one offer of apology, one hint of improving customer service, or consideration to deal with the issue. I am glad I was able to tell them in person these were the last dollars I was spending in their business. The only high point of this experience was communicating with the online order app who not only refunded the delievry tip, but also applied a coupon to reduce the price of the order. read more

This place ROCKS! The Bad Reviews here HAVE to be from Competitors whose food probably sucks. I wish they had it as Amazon has it, by VERIFIED CUSTOMERS. Honestly, they have one of the BEST White Pizza's here! I try it EVERYWHERE and this place is awesome. The Spinach here is my FAVORITE as they sautee' it with garlic perfectly. It is a little on the oily side but no fear, it is made with olive oil. The crust is AWESOME! I like many things here, but I'd go on all day if I listed them all so if you like White Pizza, try the Spinach Pizza, you won't regret it. Lastly, the best thing about this place, is they are one of the few that still use all authentic ingredients and don't try to penny-pinch with sub-par substitutes, their CHEESE is REAL and is THE BEST! Cheers read more

Obsessed with this place! Their Boardwalk Pizza is banging! And there are always good deals going on. They send coupons =) We order from here when we have meetings at work, and there's never an issue. Will definitely continue going here! :) read more

One of my favorite sandwich places in south jersey. This place is always fresh and hot when picking up. I love anything with their chicken cutlets(100 percent homemade)and cheesesteaks! The salads are very large with lots of options. I enjoy eating here every time I am in the area. read more

Best sandwiches in Township. My personal favorite is the Sparky Special but they're all great read more

Pizza is BAR pizza pre made shells. Food arrived cold the mozzarella was already hardened up. NEVER AGAIN waste of money!

I just ordered a cheese steak which I haven't had one in over a year and was excited to finally have one after losing 20lbs and I have to say I am so disappointed, the meat was so dried out I had to add ketchup to the sandwich so if your considering ordering from here, please don't, go across the street to Randazzo's (856-582-3555) which is so much better and I'm so upset with myself for choosing to order from here which I will never again read more
