    Another stop for The Pizza Beast, this time in Edison, NJ, checking out Francesco's Pizzeria. The place has that classic Jersey local feel--tight interior, a bit chaotic, and the crew knows everyone by name, which gives it charm despite the awkward cashier setup and cramped shared parking lot. The Chicken Caesar slice came out strong, stacked with full grilled chicken pieces and great flavor. But the Shrimp Scampi? Mid at best--too much cheese, soft dough with little crunch, barely any sauce, and light toppings. Friendly vibes, but uneven execution. The Pizza Beast verdict: solid local stop with heart, but not top-tier--6.8/10.

    I can write a dissertation on this pizzeria but I will digress with a paragraph. Let me start off by saying this pizza, the staff and the restaurant were beyond expectations. The place was busy and I see why, the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. Just the right amount of sauce, cheese and the crust was perfect. We also ordered a grilled shrimp caesar salad which was by far the best freaking salad I've had in a while. The only downside was the wait for food that wasn't pizza but it was definitely worth the wait. Would come here every day if I wasn't trying to watch my figure lol.

    So here we go again! Menu said 14 inch sub, got 12 inch. Called about the difference and they stated new bread supplier. Ok! The bread was terrible! Not only shorted but bread roll was very hard! Less meat as well. Will not order subs here.

    I was in the area for one night and was craving a chicken parm sub. This place is on GrubHub and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a zeppelin, because why not? They're delicious. The sub came hot as did the zeppoli. Both portions were huge; I could have split the meal with someone! One thing I really liked about the sub is that the chicken was in slightly larger than bite-sized chunks so it was easier to eat. The sauce was excellent and there was the right amount of cheese. The bread was delicious anddidn;t get too soggy. The zeppoli was so good; you can tell they make their own dough. It was lightly fried, so really soft interior. I was full from the sub, but there was no way I wasn't going to finish this delicious treat. From order time to delivery, it was 25 minutes. They have an extensive menu for all appetites and desires. I you want great Italian-American cuisine, or even a burger, they have you covered.

    The best pizza slices on the upper west side! If you are near Central Park this is the place to stop!

    Out of a random Yelp search, we stumbled upon Francesco's and had an awesome lunch! The portions were enormous, modestly priced, and tasted delicious! The pictures don't do the sizes justice, because they were huge, and we had more than enough leftovers for the following day. Both the service was quick, friendly, and the restaurant was comfortable. Definitely recommend and will be back !

    We went to dinner here with our son. We ordered Vodka Pizza, Stuffed Mushrooms and Calamari. Their tin crust pizza is delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were freshly cooked and tasty. The calamari is crunchy and not greasy, taste good. This place is located on a small strip mall that has private parking. Serving staff are very friendly and the place is well lighted. The

    Food is soooo good. Best pizza around by far. And prices are great too. Plus the free item if you order online is a nice incentive too

    This restaurant came highly recommended by a great friend, so when I was thinking of a place to…read moretake my amazing daughter for her birthday, this was my first choice and I'm happy to report it did not disappoint. Service was tied with the food for first place! Starting with the friendly and helpful hostess, every single employee offered a greeting and a smile. Our server was Elijah, he was wonderful! Warm, friendly and professional. He was attentive and perceptive. He didn't hover but anytime we needed he re-appeared. We were greeted by two out of the three managers, 10 out of 10. Now for the food! We ordered the rice balls, maple wings a Pepper pig pizza and for my cocktail I had the blue Hawaiian. Every thing was delicious hot and freshly made. The outside and inside are visually appealing. I would describe it as modern meets industrial with a nice dose or rustic, very nice.

    Very excited about my visit here while staying in Woodbridge at the Residence Inn…read more Arrived just past happy hour (darn!) which ended at 5pm. Impressive discounts on food and beverages....next time! It wasn't busy so I was quickly seated. Fresh house made sourdough bread was delivered and delicious. The red sangria was a yummy blend and was a nice touch with my vegan pie. I ordered the pizza sans cheese and really enjoyed the eggplant, garlic, basil toppings. The house salad was a nice size and the fried onion topping added a flavorful crunch. I didn't care for the dressing though. Service was prompt and friendly, my water glass was never empty. Deducted a star as my cocktail, salad , and pizza all arrived at the same time which is a pet peeve. The server took the salad back but it was not refrigerated so she redelivery a room temp salad, blah. Sweet server just needs more training on timing. Or maybe that is the norm there. Next time, I will order 1 step at a time to avoid that issue. Private parking with an upper and lower area which was a bit confusing, will know for my next visit. Bread was so good that I purchased a loaf to bring home for my hubby in Atlanta!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the place is always clean which makes the experience even better. My favorite is their margherita pizza -- it's perfectly cheesy with just the right amount of sauce. I also love that the crust is thin and holds up nicely with no flop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great slice!

    Ordered the Chicken cheesesteak with no mushrooms and peppers. I repeated to add extra cheese…read more(twice) which is not in my receipt. Reconfirmed with my daughter that ordered "The Lucky Seven Sub." which she confirmed I did say it. Anyhow, the quality of the sub my chicken cheesesteak was nothing like Philadelphia chicken cheesesteak. Taste was bland had to add salt and pepper to give it flavoring. As for my daughters sub (Lucky Seven) it comes with grilled chicken. I've never seen grilled chicken so difficult when she bit into it. It was like fake grilled chicken not the real chicken it was like school cafeteria cheap chicken. A piece of frozen chicken defrosted in the microwave. Was hoping it would be chicken when you bite into it just melts in your mouth. Not the case for this place. Dining area was very clean bathroom needed cleaning. I went there and it looked nasty. For the price I paid for lunch and this is lunch no specials you are being charged extra if using your credit card, If you do not use cash on top of that I tipped. Honestly, It was not worth the money that was paid for the quality. But hands-down to the dessert which was cannoli that was the best thing throughout anything else.
