Excellent food!! Great customer service! Great family atmosphere. My family and I have been coming to this great Italian food spot since 1998. We have celebrated many Christmas USPS parties and created many memories from 1998 through 2015. Come over, bring the family, and experience this great food and atmosphere for yourself.

The best pizza is Dover! My whole family loves it. I especially love their eggplant and mushroom white pizza. We've dined in before and had wonderful service and a birthday cannoli. But we mostly get take out. The antipasto salad is always a hit. read more

This is either the second or third time I've been to Franco's while driving through Dover. Classic Italian dishes - something to please everyone from pizza and traditional pastas to more unique choices. Ambiance is fine, pretty casual. I was greeted with "Ciao Bella." Service was quick and welcoming! read more

My favourite restaurant for 25+ years. Always amazing food, great staff. Truly exceptional service. read more

It was my "go to" restaurant for 15 years! Now, the food quality, quantity and presentation have fallen and the prices are crazy high. $23.75 for lasagna plus credit card charge plus tip. Our group has taken Franco's off our lunch rotation. Francos, please get back to great food at reasonable prices. 3 1/2 stars. read more

I have been going to Franco's for years and they consistently provide fresh delicious meals. Their subs are huge. Big enough for us to share. Their pizza is consistently prepared just the way we like. The owners treat you like family and appreciate loyal patrons. The restaurant is small but always clean and inviting. We have had parties in the back dining room and have always been happy with the quality of food. They have been here for years and it's easy to see why. read more

My husband and I have enjoyed their pizza several times. Thin crust and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Delicious!!

Got the Eggplant Parm- it was delicious! The serving was huge with bread salad and pasta with sauce. Took half of it home and had a delicious lunch the next day! Highly recommend Franco's read more

Food was very good. Everything was perfect. Service was great too, although the dish was on the light side. Don't get much but at least what you do get is great, nonetheless. read more

Best pies and Italian cuisine in Delaware !! The ladies serving are always polite and efficient!!

We did a pick up order on our way back from PA. Everything we ordered was packaged correctly and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely order from them again! read more

Stopped here on the way back fr Virginia Beach, they are located right by Dover Air Force Base. I wanted to like this place, it's roomy, was busy at 12 noon and even with 2 people serving they were a bit overwhelmed. Everyone was nice, they have a good selection of pizza, salads, pastas, sub and sandwiches. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing although I wax a little disappointed with the pizza. There were 3 of us so we shared a large pizza with 3 toppings. The sauce is definitely not up to Brooklyn NY sauce. There wasn't too much flavor although it was ok. The part that missed was the toppings appeared to be just thrown on and not cooked in so the toppings were a bit cold. The weird part was the hot tea, they brew it for you which is ok although it was not hot. We asked if they could boil a new pot of hot water and served it with this huge tea bag which was like 6 tea bags in one. See attached photo. Again, everyone was very nice, I'm sure I caught them at a busy time. I know they have an overall rating of 4 stars so I'm sure they are usually on point. For me you only have one chance to make a great impression so I will not be back when driving to Virginia Beach in the future. read more

My brother introduced me to Francos. We ordered takeout and I got the steak Stromboli and oh my goodness... it was big and it was absolutely amazing! And the marinara sauce tasted homemade! Excellent, excited to visit Dover again to try some more of the food! read more

Bad food and horrible salad dry and almost made me sick I would give 0 stars if I could

$14.94 for 3 chicken tenders with fries? USFood's and Sysco sell full size chicken tenders. These pathetic ones were half that size. Restaurant Depot? You should be embarrassed to charge so much, for so little. read more

All of their food choices are priced extremely high. They obviously took advantage of when food prices went up they more than jumped on the bandwagon. However, they took advantage of their customers in the process. I know many who no longer go there because they charge toooo much! read more

We went at 9pm (they close at 10pm). The service was amazing, they were very welcoming even though we were one of the few people dinning in. The restaurant is very homey. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and a cheesesteak, you get what you pay for! The portion sizes are huge!! We left stuffed and witb huge leftovers. The food tasted authentic and amazing. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and very prompt. We will definitely be going back. read more

Because they use pre cooked pasta, all of the sauces are watery, and the pasta quite mushy. It's below average. Do better

Love and appreciate the freshly prepared dishes including the crunchy fire baked pizza! The staff is warm and attentive and always checking in to see if we need anything! read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. I ordered food through the Slice app and they handed the driver the incorrect order. They expected this poor driver to go back and pick up the correct order, even though it was their mistake. then over an hour after my food was ordered said that they would send the correct order to me. When I called back and spoke with Franco, he got angry and told me to call Slice and request a refund. Slice cannot do a refund without the restaurant approval. Between Slice and Franco this is the worst experience I've ever had in ordering food through an app. The restaurant manager Franco was extremely disrespectful to myself who is awaiting a dinner order, and the driver of the Slice app who is out of time and money now as well. Thank God for AMEX, who will dispute the order. Update they sent the order that sat for over an hour.. carbonara Egg is scrambled and look at the basil. The bottom is a watery mess. This is terrible service read more

I ordered shrimp parmigiana and spaghetti. The shrimp was mushy and lacked a seafood/ocean taste. The noodles were over cooked and the meal was cold. However the Caesar salad was delicious and large in portion. My guest had Shrimp Fra-diavolo. The jumbo shrimp in that dish had a dank taste, very poor quality. However the sauce of both dishes was tasty. The service was friendly and prompt. The ambiance was lovely. I wish I could give this place a higher rating because of the friendly atmosphere. Both dishes were disappointing. read more

I've been a huge fan of Franco's for years. I always go when I'm home visiting and have my mom bring me some when she comes down to SC. The portions are large, fresh and absolutely delicious. The meat tortellini with sausage and meatballs is one of top favorites. The chicken parmesan is a very close second. Everyone at the table ways orders something different and we a share... With enough to bring home for leftovers. The fresh bread they give you with oil to dip is perfect. It's always right out of the oven, crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. The staff is wonderful. Always so attentive and polite. They're very knowledgeable with the menu. The restaurant is a bit outdated- but it is okay. It hasn't ever changed and I'm okay with that. I highly recommend checking it out when you're in Dover! read more

We went here with a large group for lunch. There was approximately 20 of us in the group so I understood there was going to be a little bit of a wait. When we went inside it was very dated and just old. The Waitresses were nice however the two we were given were overwhelmed. My husband and I ordered a chicken Cheesesteak Deluxe split between the two of us for $13.99. After we ordered bread was brought to the table. The bread was nice and warm and there was plenty of it but what we really wanted was water. Though we were provided water when we sat down our waitress refilled it near the end of the meal. The portion sizes when they arrived were huge. One sandwich split between my husband and I was more than enough. However, I base my reviews on quality of food and taste, therefore, my rating reflects our experience. The sandwich arrived in a large roll completely filled with bread and not a lot of contents. The meat was overcooked, dry and under seasoned and the cheese on top looked like an afterthought. I mean after all the name of this sandwich was chicken cheesesteak! Once we took our first bite we knew this was the wrong choice. We just kept chewing and chewing and chewing as the meat was so tough. Some of the others in our party ordered small pizzas and they looked much better. I don't know how they tasted, however, all I know is the chicken cheesesteak Deluxe we ordered was a complete fail. read more

Great Food, sauce was delicious. Pasta was cooked perfectly. We ordered takeout after the Phish Festival and it was the perfect meal and quick service! read more

The thin crust pizza was very good, and the toppings were very generously placed on the pie.

An unassuming exterior, but delicious food and great service. We had a variety of entrees, salads and sandwiches and all were well above average. The service was quick and attentive. Here's an odd aside, the bathrooms were really clean. If we lived anywhere nearby, we would probably be regulars. read more

A fantastic staple of the pizza scene in Dover, and they always provide excellent service. It's a warm, welcoming restaurant, great for families or just a few folks getting together. Delivery is awesome, and there are always folks from the base grabbing a quick lunch. Love me some Franco's pizza, pasta, soup, salad, everything! read more

Love Francos! Pizza is delicious & go there any chance I get. Service is quick & friendly. Always seems busy! Nice dining room if you want to eat in. read more

3.5 stars, rounded up for service. A search for cheesesteaks brought us here. Lucky us, as we might possibly have found a good spot to try again. I'm hoping that the rumors of a thicker pizza crust option are true, but I'll return to try other items on the menu as well. We ordered a deluxe cheesesteak, spaghetti with meatballs, and a slice of cheese pizza with garlic. All were good, but needed help from the spices available at the table. The complimentary bread that arrived at the table was perfect, as was the garlicky oil that was included. The portion of spaghetti was massive. Other reviews mention ordering a child's sized plate, and I can understand why. I think we will simply share instead, as it was enough for two hungry adults. The pizza slice was a generous size as well, and it had plenty of my chosen topping. The crust was thin and crispy without being cracker-like. The cheesesteak had plenty of meat and toppings, and was a good choice for the price. The service by our waitress, Trish, is what tipped the stars up instead of down. She was patient and personable, and had plenty of advice for a first time diner. The other staff members we encountered were also quite pleasant. This is a small family run restaurant in an out of the way shopping center. Plenty of parking in front, and a pleasant place to spend some time. read more

I'm certainly no "professional foodie" ... but we do dine out A LOT, and we appreciate good food and service. Franco's is NOT your typical throw sauce on a noodle and call it Italian and serve it with the pizza kind of place. It's a real deal delicious restaurant with Italian specialties. A local gem, tucked away so not everyone knows about it. Great service ... and ya may even be called "Bellllllla". Highly recommend!!!!! read more

I was in the area for work and i I ordered a chef salad. It was good. I had no issues with it. It had no boiled eggs though. That's the only thing I was missing. read more

Tried this place because of review of a different restaurant. So thank you to that person. We were looking for a good Italian place with white sauce options. Not enamored with any of the choices in the Lewes/Rehoboth area. This place was great. From the good bread to the gnocchi and fettuccine supreme house specialties with HUGE scallops. Even the cannoli was one of the best we've had. The staff was speaking Italian. They and some of the customers were so good and supportive of another customer. It felt like it wasn't just about making money. We know where we're going next time we want Italian. read more

This is the second time I've ordered from them. The first time I ordered a pizza with garlic and mushrooms (among other items). Not only was the pizza cold when it arrived, no extra items were included. I called them and their customer service sucked. I was told, rudely, to deal with the delivery company. Bullshit!! They did not want to take responsibility. I did get a refund on the garlic and mushrooms after numerous calls. Today I ordered a pie, calzone, buffalo wings, and their "deep-fried, crispy" french fries. Pizza was cold, calzone was a freakin' disaster, wings dry, and fries soggy. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't there be ricotta in a calzone?! Compare my pic with what they have on their menu. Mine looks like a folded flat bread with nothing inside. Garbage!! I am done with this place. A damn shame as it was recommended by a reliable source. Something changed because the quality of food is way below par!! read more

This is an easily overlooked eatery in the strip mall, sitting next to McDonalds on Lebanon Road. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The feeling is like a family feel here. The restaurant is tidy, clean and bigger inside than it appears as you first walk in. There is good spacing between tables. You are not pressed against other diners here. I had a salad, tomato and mozzarella caprese as my appetizer. My main course was the Supreme Fettuccini, loaded with Shrimp, mushrooms and scallops. It was a large sized serving. Francos doesn't skimp on their portions! My dish was really good! This place does good business, it gets pretty busy at dinner time. No reservations are needed here. I have been to Dover many times and this is my 1st visit to Francos. I will eat here again, the next time I am in town! read more

I want to review this restaurant because it's one of the best if not the best Italian food venues in Dover DE. From the seafood to the eggplant parm. to the gnocchi and calamari , every dish my family ordered was phenomenal ! And the homemade Italian freshly baked bread was worth coming for alone ! This place is better every time I come . We know your family will enjoy Franco's as much as we do. The staff is pretty awesome as well I give this restaurant a ten star review! read more

I got food poisoning from the meatball sub. You owe me dinner. At another restaurant. And two pairs of boxer briefs!

The food was always great, but the last three times we were there is was not good AT ALL. The eggplant parm was not good. Three of our guests were not happy at all. Even the pizza was soggy. Sorry but we will not be back. Claudette read more

Get the pizza!! The sauce/cheese ratio is perfect!!! And the cost was very reasonable. It has been so hard to find good pizza in lower Delaware (sorry Grottos, I love you but my husband doesn't), and this place fits the bill. I cannot wait to try other things off their menu. read more
