1 star is based solely on cleanliness not the food. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat any of it and it was all trashed due to the health violations. There was a bird living in the Christmas tree in their store. I told the girl behind the counter and she said "oh they're always here" ok.... So I watch her bag my pastries as the bird flies overhead and dedicated on the floor. She saw. Yet nobody even went to clean the bird poop. Such an awful shame, I was craving Italian cookies so bad. The incident was reported to DOH read more

Hits the spot. I got half chicken parm and half primavera. I wish the veggies on the primavera were roasted but it looked like it came from frozen bag, but it still tasted good. I'll be back when my usual, Raimos, is closed. read more

Just stopped by here for a quick lunch. Food is so fresh and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend coming here if you have not tried before! Never disappoints read more

The best part of my job is I'm on the road a lot. So when I see an opportunity to check out a new restaurant, I take advantage. "Francesco's Pizzeria & Restaurant" seemed like a perfect choice. I pulled up at the small parking lot and was a little surprised, why would you not have the name of the restaurant on top of the building. It was displayed on the glass, I figured they wanted to stand out. The look of the façade definitely gave it the right attention. Heading inside the place was well kept. You see they are about presentation. I loved the modern look. Heading to the counter, you see they were about a good time. Two gentlemen in the back help right away, but not before we joked about something on the television. After the laughter, I placed my order. It got tossed in and came out hot. I grabbed a seat and looked over my meal. It looked pretty standard as pizza goes. The cheesy bread was my favorite. It tasted great and they gave me a sauce to dip them in. The pizza, while good, wasn't great. Let me start by saying, the chicken on top was delicious! I give credit, where credit is due, however, the crust was a bit stale. Maybe I got yesterday's slice, but that how it was. It had great flavor and I would have truly loved it, if not for that hiccup. I mean, the place is good enough to go back, I mean, I loved the cheesy bread. I just need to catch them in a better day, hopefully to get a fresher slice. read more

Just came back from lunch with my mom. 4 solid stars. We were not greeted when we entered, but the food made up for that. I had the bbq chicken slice. It was delish! The bbq sauce wasn't overpowering at all. It was a hearty and filling slice of pizza. My mom ordered the margarita slice. No complaints from her at all. We shared baked clams and garlic knots. Baked clams were delicious!!! They were whole, not chopped. Flavors were right on point. And the sauce??? Had to dip bread in. If you don't dip your bread, you're not doing it right. The garlic knots were good also. You can order them in increments of 3, 6, or 12. I also ordered tortellini soup! It was served super hot and it was very good! Definitely warmed me up on this cold Sunday afternoon. So yummy! I would return to order some dinner! I have a very full and happy belly. read more

If there were a zero star rating I would for sure put that. Since there is no such thing I'll leave it at one. To start off very rude customer service, to add on me and my brother both got sick from eating this. The taste was awful. The grandma slice tasted like cardboard my stomach was going bananas the entire night. My brother ordered the pasta with sausage making him uncontrollably use the bathroom while also feeling run down with a fever. If you are in the area save your money and go the other direction to Bella Vista two roads down! read more

The food was pretty soggy . The apps were flavored down and it just didn't taste good. The nonna wrap was burnt and eggplant was horrible. The service took longer than it should to be given to my wife . My wife is 32 weeks pregnant and they couldn't help her so there was no ambiance I would love to get something from them read more

Have to say, i'm pretty surprised at how good the pizza was! We got the vodka pie and wow, so impressed. Flavor was there, crust wasn't doughy and there wasn't too much dough which normally overpowers the pizza. Very happy with our pizza and all for $20. Can't go wrong and can't wait to try their other pizza and based on the reviews, their platters. Happy to have a new good tasting pizza place in the area. read more

Yummy food & "To Good to Go" option is so kind of them. Zepoles are huge & delish. My kids are obsessed with the cheesy bread.

First of all let me say I rarely post a review. I don't post positive ones because I'm a foodie who has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years. I'm not easily impressed. I don't post negative ones because I don't believe in trying to hurt someone's livelihood when they may just be having an off day. If you go somewhere and the food sucks, just don't go back. It's that easy. Why publicly shame them? I'm embarrassed for people who enjoy doing that. Shame on you. With that said, I stopped at this place on a whim. Hadn't had lunch yet and figured "ok pizza, I could go for a slice".. I walk in and the place is beautiful. Spotless. It's smelled like garlic and fresh basil. The guy at the counter greeted me with a huge smile. He even offered me a piece of the pie that he just took out of the oven. Everything looked amazing, it was really hard for me to decide what I wanted. I chose a Crispino slice which is my favorite. Not many places make the Crispino, let alone make it good. This was the best Crispino slice I've ever had.!!!!! The crust was perfect. Crispy yet slightly chewy. Just the right consistency. The toppings were fresh and delicious. Perfection. It had just the right amount of salt, fresh basil and garlic. It was fantastic! I can't wait to try more of their food. Even though I live about a half hour away. I definitely plan to go back. It really WAS that good. Shout out to Francesco's!! read more

First time we called in for pizza and two of us got upset stomachs. Local place for convenience read more

I get food from Francesco's all the time. I love their pizza, chicken rolls, garlic knot sliders and the employees are so nice!! It's always super clean in here too! read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place in the last few months? The pizza has gone down tremendously. It used to be really tasty and flavorful, the crust is now bland and flavorless. The sauce tastes like it came out of a jar. Not sure what happened here? It used to be such a great little find. read more

The BEST pizza, hands down. We absolutely love their grandma slice, caesar salad pizza wraps, and plain cheese for the little ones. Had a great experience with a larger catering order. On time, professional, and everything was fresh and hot including a wonderful ziti tray. Love you, Francescos! read more

I legitimately don't understand the reviews. I'm glad the place is doing well and personally waited to post a review, despite being there on opening day, since I didn't want to be the one to materially hurt the traffic with a bad review. It's clean and nice, service is fine/mixed based on the few times I've been here, the food has no flavor and is in my opinion the worst in the area for a pizza place. Their worst item is the stuffed garlic knots. Please do yourselves a favor and taste them. They're not good. Salt would help. Also serving them hot instead of room temp. I definitely won't be back to confirm if you've done so though. read more

Had 2 types of pizza- Grandma and Sicilian. Both fantastic! So far everything I've had here on a few visits has never disappointed and is delicious. read more

Zero stars. 2 thumbs down. Ordered cheese bread and franchise slice. Bread had no cheese and ask for 1 with cheese. While in restroom owner talked badly about me the whole time. While serving replaced commented I should not have bitten into slice I had in my hands as he could have given it to others. Note I was in restroom to wash my hands. I said he could have put cheese on slice before or after to make customer happy. My co worker enter store after and he started argument over tipping. He then proceeded to say since it was our first time and we don't frequent the place we were nobodies to him. In addition he told us to leave or he would have police remove us. The whole time advising us he owned the place. Oh, and franchise slice was served cold. J read more

Heading: Try them on a Monday maybe. Food may be good- I heard it was-- if you can get it. Ordered at 4:40, wasnt told when to pick up so figured 30 minutes- its very early. Well when my husband arrived he was told they said to pick up at 6:15. Umm no, they didnt say that. An hr n half if you order at 4:40? -what if you order at 6-is it 8:00pm/ 8:30?? If they told me I would have said thanks but no thanks.....its 6:10 now and I still cant tell you if the food is any good because its not here yet- husband still waiting. Already ordered and delivered from elsewhere. Never again. Edit: 6:20 finally on way. Oh well, already ate, ordered from nearby pizza place so my kids could eat. Guess we will freeze it. Ill let you know how it is as leftovers. read more

I was very excited to order pizza from here because the photos looked great and the reviews were all very promising. However, I was pretty disappointed that it took about an hour and a half from the time I ordered the pizza to when I got home. When I first tried to order, the phone was busy, so I decided to order online, and it was about a 45 minute wait. I ordered anyway because I figured it would be worth it, but then I ended up waiting another 20 minutes when I got there. Normally I don't mind waiting, it just felt like a very long total time to wait for one pizza, considering the pizza I ordered was the Crispina, which was basically just focaccia with fresh mozzarella and sliced tomatoes on top. Overall the pizza tasted good, but it just wasn't what I was expecting and don't think it was worth the very long wait. read more

Had a very very good sausage and peppers parmigiana hero Great taste Not greasy at all Unfortunately The bread was nothing special but the food inside hero was five star read more

Okay omg absolutely love this place ! I don't live in Long Island but my grandmother lives about 1 mile away from the pizzeria and whenever I go visit we always do take out or delivery from Francesco's. Their our go to that never disappoints, we can do a large pie and garlic knots (the sauce they use is to die for !) or we do pastas and salad when we have a larger group. My personal favorite is penne ala vodka with grilled chicken and/or penne marina and a classic Cesar salad. Amazing! Always so good! Pasta comes just the right texture "al dente" because lord knows I hate the soggy kinds I have had in other places. Their always a reasonable time with the deliveries and always gives us everything perfectly. Only negative is I wish I lived closer lol I would be ordering way more! Make a location in queens please !! read more

Pizza was ok. A little bit greasy. Once again, another pizza place who doesn't believe in seasonings in the sauce. Garlic knots are deceiving- they looked awesome but really didn't have much taste. I wish them the best and all but it really isn't anything except average. read more

ordered the strawberry salad with a piece of grilled chicken. specifically asked them for fresh juicy piece. this is the second time i got a dried out tasteless piece of shoe leather. this was definitely not fresh cooked but leftover re- heated very disappointing read more

Relatively new to Plainview this restaurant has been getting rave reviews by the locals. That is a good indicator since there are about 30 restaurants in Plainview/Old Bethpage and everyone eats out since their ovens either have matching tile to the floor or are carpeted. Ordered online for delivery which was a very easy process. Spaghetti and meatballs, baked clams, 10 inch pizza and a side order of more meatballs. They even give you an estimate of when the food will be delivered. Mine said my order will arrive around 7:13 PM. I was laughing to myself they must be joking how accurate could that be? The food was on my doorstep at 7:15 PM. One problem. They left out the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Charged but not delivered. Now in a busy place under pressure of orders mistakes are made. The key to a great restaurant is how they are fixed. I called immediately and was told they will deliver the missing dish ASAP. Sat down, had the clams, started on a slice of Pizza doorbell rings and food was there. Maybe 10 minutes from my call to them. Outstanding, that is how you run a restaurant. Food was excellent meatballs especially good. I will def be ordering from here again. read more

Always on point with... DAM that tortellini soup is the FIRE .... just like nana use to make ‼

Agree with first review. Dropped in to check them out after their grand opening. I felt terrible that they had to open at the worst possible time. Only got pizza so far but it was excellent along with friendly owners. Planning on ordering regular food this weekend but will definitely plan on making this a regular in my take out rotation. Check them out! read more

Great wings in a variety of flavors- I am partial to the garlic parmesan-pairs well with a cauliflower crust pizza!

The pizza is truly delicious as is the food. And they couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. They made a half portion of penne a la vodka for my granddaughter without a fuss! They are a wonderful local business! read more

Food very good but they are seriously disorganized especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They promise a half hour when you order online but I have had to wait an extra half hour more than once. Stick to Monday through Thursday and you will probably get food when promised. read more
