Friendly service by Todd! I preordered dinner for pick up then called to make an addition. I brought home zucchini Parmesan which will easily feed two. For whatever reason, I also ordered breaded zucchini and pepperoni rolls. I made a salad and we decided to eat the pepperoni rolls with the breaded zucchini - yum! Saving the Parmesan for a Meatless Friday alongside the garlic bread accompanying it. We love Frankie's pizza; will be adding the new items to the repertoire. Cute place but small, probably better as takeout. read more

We ordered 2 fish sandwiches one with fries and one with coleslaw. The bun was burnt and the fish was dripping in grease and burnt also. I called to complain and I heard the owner in the background say "tell her we are busy and I will call back". Needless to say no call was returned. read more

Frankie's is our go-to pizza place in the south hills. This family-owned pizza place never disappoints. Our favorite is the Cousin Vinny pizza. Best white pizza I've ever had. read more

Have eaten here many times. Got the meat lovers pizza tonight... outstanding! Portnoy needs to visit!

We have really enjoyed the Bianco Florentine specialty pizza with a thin crust so much that we've ordered it several times, and it's always fresh from the oven and delicious. We usually get a side of fried zucchini with marinara sauce. I order online, then my husband goes to pick it up. He says the staff is friendly, the order is always ready and the last time he was there he also bought a quart of frozen potato soup which we haven't tried yet. I recommend Frankie's Italian Kitchen. Oh, and the new owner's name is not Frankie. He just kept the name when he purchased the business. read more

Do yourself a favor! Make a special trip to Frankie's Italian Kitchen. It's right off the highway and there are only a few seats but this little spot has heart and fabulous food. And some of the nicest people you will ever meat. When Frankie sold the business he included his grandmother's recipes with the deal and you will be so happy he did. The pasta, the meatballs, the wedding soup soooooo good. It's a trek for me, but well worth it Did I mention you'll love the people!! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall or more aptly described as a neighborhood gem. We arrived late and were greeted by a very friendly staff. The place can seat six maybe eight. So in person dining is not their forte. However maybe it should be. There were three of us and we each had something different. It was all very good. Served fast and casual. I enjoyed my dinner there. They do not have a wine list. read more

How does anyone like it here? The people are very nice but the food is so lousy. Virtually every single pizza place within 5 miles has much better pizza. And the hoagies here, well let's just say they only go in the over for maybe 30 seconds. The cheese isn't even melted and under the meat it is still cold. Not like warm, but cold. I have it a few years since the last time I tried it, but now I know why all neighbors says it sucks. read more

A hidden gem located a few miles outside Southpointe PA. Great spot for quick lunch or dinner. Frankie, owner, is always in the back cooking away. Welcoming atmosphere, Frankie and his staff recognizes familiar faces. Always enjoy coming back. Takeout or eat in joint. They also do delivery. Never had an issue with seating, but there are 4 tables max. Menu is mostly Italian, but there are hoagies and salads if you are not in the mood for carb loading. They also have fish specials during the Lenten season. I am a big fan of the meatball sandwich for lunch. Frankie's marinara is excellent! Hard to find places like this. read more

Was looking for a new place to try and have heard great things. Called and spoke with Leah, explained that it was my first time and wanted to know what she recommended. Gave me recommendations. Decided to order the meatball hoagies and the pizza bread, both were great. I wish the meatballs had extra sauce, but I'll order extra next time. read more

Frankie's has a very good pizza, better than most in the Peters Twp. area. Hand tossed thin-crust pie that is crisp along the edge yet soft and tasty. If you are a NY style folder you will like this pizza. A good tasting homemade sauce. Will have to stop back and try some of the other items on the menu. Frankie's is take out since there is no where to sit. We stopped by after biking on the Montour trail and just took the pizza back to the trail and eat on a bench. Service was friendly and they asked if we needed plates and napkins, which we gladly accepted. read more

Frankie's is a wonderful family owned establishment in the South Hills. Very reminiscent of a home cooked Italian meal, don't go in expecting anything gourmet, but your meal will be hearty and filling, though ultimately average. However I found that wasn't the draw of the experience for me. I can honestly say this was hands down the best experience I have ever had in the service industry. Everyone was not just helpful, but actually genuinely kind and welcoming and wonderful and the service was quick and delightful. It was a positive and warm environment, and I cannot speak more highly of the entire staff. Also, the portions are HUGE, you can get a couple meals out of it for sure, and the price is right for what you're getting! I will definitely be coming back here or putting orders in for delivery in the future. read more

Pizza was pretty darn good. Also got the breadsticks with cheese. They were lacking flavor, it was literally was just pizza dough and melted cheese, no garlic, oregano, etc. would have liked some garlic sauce on the side too. The worst thing we had the cinnamon sticks. There was hardly any cinnamon on them, they looked exactly like the cheesy breadsticks just plain. Definitely needed a lot more cinnamon, and sugar on them to be worth getting them. We would order pizza again from Frankie's but not the other stuff. read more

Frankie's Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Lawrence, Pennsylvania

This restaurant is an example of how multiple stellar reviews do not necessarily translate into a good dining experience for all. It is on a busy street and there is complimentary parking in the rear. The room where diners are seated is tiny and it is separated from the kitchen by only a counter. The dining area seats at most, eight people. We sat at a bench-style table a couple of feet from kitchen supplies: pans, flour, and a box of plastic utensils. Plastic utensils and paper plates are provided to diners. On one of the hotter and more humid days of the year, the restaurant has no effective air conditioning: no apology from anyone for that. We ate our food while perspiring. We were anxious to finish and leave. The three of us asked for water, meaning tap water, which most every restaurant provides. We were brought bottles of water for which we were gouged $1.50 each. There was not much service. The individual who is apparently the owner took care of us. We were understanding of the current staffing challenges restaurants are experiencing. I asked for grated cheese and black pepper. On the second request, these items were provided. The pepper container was large and it was greasy. The individual who served us took away the grated cheese for a few minutes without asking and then brought it back. The food was decent and the price is right for most items: meatball pizza, fried zucchini, pasta rosa (which had very little sauce), and french fries. Never again. read more

I ordered a tray of Pasta Rosa and garlic bread. The serving was HUGE and so good. Everyone got plenty to eat and almost everybody got a plate of pasta to take home. I'd recommend this place if you have catering needs. read more

Great value for high quality and big portions. This is a perfect place for carry out dinners. We love the pasta joana and meatballs. The wings are surprisingly good, which I didn't expect at an Italian place. The people that work here are super helpful. Never had a meal we didn't appreciate here. read more

Delicious meatballs and amazing hot sausage. The garlic bread was perfect. The owner, Frankie is very personable and the staff was helpful. We will certainly be back! read more

We tried this place out on Monday night. It was our first time. They have a small dine-in area. It was pretty good. We had the pasta Rosa and Italian hoagie. I think the person who waited on us may have been the owner. The bun on my hoagie was great & crunchy. The cooking time was very fast. I live in Upper St Clair. I never knew this place was even existed. I wanted to try it so we could use them for delivery. I'm always looking for places to deliver to the house on Sundays during Steeler games but they are closed on Sundays. I find this to be very odd. Sundays are big for delivery. Who wants to cook on Sundays & especially during Steeler games. We always have guests over to watch the games. But there are so many other pizza joints out there, I will just have to use another on game day. read more

Small but mighty, this little eatery is a gem. Homemade recipes combined with specialty dishes. Pizza, pasta, meatballs (oh the meatballs!) and salads, daily specials and more. I'm partial to the huge Italian hoagie and meatball casserole. Even the wings are good. Get in the car and go visit Frank and his son Frankie. Molto Bene!!! read more

We went to Frankie's for the first time last night and loved it! Great food, large portions, great service. Highly recommended!!

Delicious food and very friendly staff. There are a couple small tables outside and the inside dining area consists of a few tables but it seems most people get takeout. My family of four ate inside and it was exactly what we wanted - a casual and non-pretentious place where we could hear each other talk while enjoying good food in a friendly atmosphere. We ordered cheese sticks, pizza, chicken parm sandwich, and spaghetti and meatballs and it was all so good. The spaghetti and meatballs are THE BEST around. I wish we had found this place sooner! read more

We had the chicken parmigiana sandwich and a meatball hogie and a complimentary order of breaded zukinni bites. We ate in the new dining area which looks great! Such a great atmosphere here and Frankie and his son give incredible service! If you are in the Lawrence you have to stop in, you will not be disappointed! read more

If you ever get lost in Lawrence you have to stop at Frankie's. I love that Italian place. Especially that spicy meatballs that they serve every Wednesday. It is a family owned business. Very friendly. On my first visit Frankie introduced the whole family to me. It is not a place to sit down, they only have one table with two chairs outside. So far the Hoagie's and meatball are awesome. read more

What a great find!!! Frankie makes everything homemade... the sause is delicious! And the meatballs are amazing! Hancut fries!... try the Buffalo fries with ranch dressing... you'll thank me. Just had an Italian hoagie yesterday sitting at the outdoor tables... nice break area for lunch! My aunt had them cater a surprise party too... everything was delicious and looked so nice. Definitely need to put this place on the top on your list! read more

Awesome! Eat in and chat with some very friendly, nice people! Pizza steak hoagie and fries were The Bomb! And I have had my share. Atmosphere is very nice, but casual. Service excellent, traditional Italian music, decor' relaxing, inviting and clean. They treat everyone who comes in like family. The cook didn't bristle when I asked to have my fries well done. read more

Simply some of the best family style italian food to be found in the Region. This isn't a just Pizza Joint but a small Italian take out restaurant along the lines you see in Little Italy in New York! The basics are excellent. The pizza is founded on a hardy but airy crust. The sauce is absolutely unbelievably good. The menus exceptional in entrees. The pastas and sauces are as varied as they are amazing! The meatballs aren't hamburger with oregano but the genuine thing and the sausage is mouth watering.. I was blown away by this small place with big taste.. There aren't enough stars on the scale!! Make the trip it's beyond worth it! read more

I picked up lunch from Frankie's earlier this week for the first time. I work very close and have always forgotten to go there but finally remembered. After hearing very good things about it, I had fairly high expectations and Frankie's didn't disappoint. The food was excellent. But even better than that was the friendly staff. In a world of disappearing customer service, it was nice to have friendly discussion with a great local business owner and staff member. Thanks Frankie! read more

The Pasta Joanna was delicious and surprisingly light. Per other reviews, order the meatballs! Your stomach will be happy and FULL. My leftovers provided 2 more meals! We'll be back for the pizza next time. read more

I heard nothing but good things about this place so we had to try it! We actually ordered a little bit of everything! Everything was delicious, but I have to say the pizza (we ordered a white one) and the cinnamon bread sticks were TO DIE FOR! They make their dough in house, and OMG it's a carb-lovers DREAM!! So stinking good!! The fresh cut fries were yummy as well, and so was the pasta! Oh I could go on and on! So good!! read more

I spent $40 and am not happy at all with their food. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and 2 hoagies. Their pizza sauce tastes like it came from a can and the 1/2 hoagies were as big as a hot dog bun. I will NEVER order here again!!!! read more

Amazing homemade Italian food! Best spaghetti and meatballs in Pittsburgh! The new dining room is a great place to relax and enjoy the delicious food. Bonus is it's BYOB! read more

This is hands down my favorite place for Italian food. This place is spotless and everyone there is always super friendly. And the food - OMG - absolutely delicious!! I love everything I've tried there so far, but my favorites are the Italian Hoagie and the Fresh Cut Fries with cheese. They easily beat the Potato Patch fries at Kennywood! And on top of all that they also have homemade "hot" meatballs and fresh homemade soups. If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and stop by - I guarantee it will be your first of many many trips!! read more
