We stopped by here for a quick dinner on Saturday night because Lucas Trattoria nearby had a long waitlist. We weren't disappointed.. Food 5/5 : we ordered a wild virgin, pesto with crimini mushrooms et al pizza. It was perfectly crisp and delicious. It was a bit light on pesto but I asked for extra marinara/pesto and tasted great with some extra sauce seasonings Ambiance 5/5 : it's fast casual, perfectly set up for the purpose. It looks cute and cozy, was clean and well maintained Service 5/5 : service was pretty awesome. It's self serve but people bring you food to the table. Staff is very friendly and prompt, which is a breath of fresh air, compared to the Bay Area. Food is a bit pricey but that's just greater Bay Area in general.. read more

We stopped in at Frankie's for dinner and dessert. The folks behind the counter were very friendly. Ample seating available, it was especially pleasant outside on the patio. Our pizza was delicious and perfectly crispy. The ice cream was a great way to end our meal with a sweet treat. read more

Frankie's - #3 and #9 without olives - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mendocino, California

Frankie's was a cute little pizza and ice cream shop. Their pizza was fresh and their falafel was decadent. They also serve local wines and I found my new favorite Cabernet Sauvignon called Bontela. We didn't try the ice cream because we were full after our meal, but that is what most the people in front of us ordered. There are a few small tables downstairs. Upstairs there are a few more small tables and a large one that will hold 10 people. read more

Hands down a must do when in Mendocino . I'm not a big fan of icecream but I would have to say this should be on your itinerary when in town. Tried the mushroom cap icecream and it was decadent . I ordered a single scoop and went back two days in a row because it was that good . The icecream had a great texture of the mushroom . It wasn't too sweet which was perfect and had light flavor and morsels of the mushroom . It kind of tasted like butter pecan & maple. It was delicious ! This spot was my favorite ! read more

Incredibly expensive pizza given its lackluster quality. Unfortunately, the lack of other options open after 6PM is likely the reason it is this way. Next time, I'd rather go to the grocery store a block down and get some frozen pizza or some hot food for a late, easy meal than spend my money here. The homemade ranch is pretty good and the service is friendly. The vibe is fast casual/takeout. Don't let "greater Bay Area" prices justify bad quality - you can get cheaper pies from michelin rated pizzerias in the heart of SF. read more

We ordered two pizzas for pick up, oh boy were we disappointed. For the price of these pizza you would expect a better quality. The only thing I enjoyed about my mushroom pesto pizza was the crust, it had absolutely no flavor. The only thing I enjoyed about my Ceaser was the croutons. The dressing had a artificial, bottled dressing flavor. The worst part is the girl that took our online order, was grumpy and incredibly impatient. Definitely not your best option, unfortunately not a lot open on a Tuesday. read more

Great service. Excellent pizza and salad. Dressing is excellent. Total chill spot.

Ordered pizza for takeout -- hare creek, virgin creek, and wages victorious with jalapeños. All three were hits! We also picked up a few beers and ice creams (kulfi and ginger) when we stopped by for pickup. Friendly staff, super convenient location downtown, and great pizza especially for a takeout night. read more

Candy cap mushroom was pretty good. Don't be put off by the mushroom haha. We got 2 scoops just in case we didn't like it. Pralines and cream went well with it. And they have pizza, how cute! They have seating on the main floor, upstairs and outdoors as well. read more

This place is GREAT if hate GOOD pizza! The service here was mediocre, the pizza was not good. I paid $40+ for a pizza that had less than worth of $4 of ingredients. * Pizza crust was as pale as the fog, and tasted like yeasty cardboard * There was not enough cheese * Not enough sauce * BASIL is listed as their first or second ingredient, but was nowhere to be found on my pizza. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to people I don't like! read more

Loved this spot! It was exactly what I needed to top off a week long roadtrip through northern cali. The ambiance is cute, ice cream parlor meets pizza! So yummy. It was very busy but the service was good. We had a pepperoni pizza and the crust was amazing. It is inside an old Victorian. read more

So many pizza options to choose from but happy with our the veggie choice we made. Also a good selection of beer to choose from. Small patio area to sit in and well as some inside options, but lucked out and was able to get a table. Loved that it was dog friendly too. It was a longer wait to place the order, but well worth it and staff is friendly. read more

Frankie's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mendocino, California

Frankie's is my go to lunch spot for kids. We come up here 3-4 times a year. We have a routine of going down the stairs behind the church, hanging at the beach and the wonderful slice and sometimes an ice cream 5 days out of 7 on our trips. I have ordered a whole pizza many times and they are delicious but the slice is where it's at. I do wish they had a daily specialty slice. We love Frankie's read more

Yummmyyy ice cream! Perfect for a sweet treat. Staff was so-so don't expect to engage but the ice cream is super yummy! Plenty of seating! read more

Frankie's - On the left was peppermint & rocky road; on the right was coconut & some kinda chai...perfect!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mendocino, California

We stopped in to order a pizza to go. The staff was welcoming and they are also known for their ice cream. Well, who said you can't have dessert first, so Mr. Bee and I shared a scoop of ice cream while waiting for our pizza. Who can pass up Mushroom Cap Ice Cream, I know sounds weird right, mushrooms in ice cream. But it was awesome. Very creamy and rich. There are no chunks are pieces of mushroom, but the mushrooms add an earthiness to the ice cream which made it a little savory and not too sweet. It really tasted like maple pecan ice cream. Loved each and every bite. We ordered the Whisky Shoals pizza. Topped with mozzarella, goat cheese, pine nuts, red bell pepper and jalapeno. It was spicy, but not overly spicy, sweet from the bell pepper, creamy and tangy from the goat cheese and the pine nuts added a nice crunchy texture. Would absolutely eat it again. The crust was crisp and not too thick. We did take it back to our room at the inn to eat while enjoying our ocean views, but they do offer some indoor seating and a nice patio for dining in. read more

The ice cream is delicious. Creamy and fabulous flavors. The mushroom ice cream is surprisingly good as are all the flors we've had so far!

Great family spot for anytime! Delicious, fresh seasonal ingredients and friendly service. Don't miss the mushroom ice cream. The falafel is a treat too. Looking forward to returning to this home grown, community establishment and tourist attraction. read more

For our annual camping trip in Fort Bragg, we always make an effort to go to Frankie's in Mendocino! The inside is small but everyone is so nice inside and they have a good sized menu. Great service.We got the pepperoni pizza and it was so delicious. We were able to get our pizza very quickly with the fact that it was busy! The crust was perfect. I'm a fan of the small pepperoni. It was a little in the greasy side but it was amazing. They have outdoor seating as well which we enjoyed the nice weather and after pizza we got ice cream of course! I got the candy cap mushroom ice cream in a waffle cone. I know what you are thinking... mushroom ice cream?? But trust me it's delicious! Tastes kind of like a vanilla Carmel in my opinion. Had the kiddos try it and they liked it!! Give it a try! Highly recommend:) read more

It was cold and raining when we went here took the seat right next to the exit. Amazing staff they helped us decide on the half and half pizza which was the best choice. We took a medium sized pizza which was more than enough for us and we actually had left over. Finished off the dinner with kulfi and pistachio ice cream and mushroom ice cream amazing tase and I have not had these flavors before really liked them . read more

We have tried Frankies pizza more than once to ensure our findings, were not a fluke. Our daughter has celiacs so we wanted to love it for her. The regular pizza crust is rather dry and the gluten is as well. They have a decent range of toppings and what we tried was tasty. They serve Cowlicks ice cream, which is always good, and have a cute outdoor seating area. read more

Pizza was decent. Lacking flavor I thought. Almost $40 for each pizza. We got some awesome ice cream though.

I would love the recipe for the Mediterranean pita wrap. It was delicious! Kids loved the pizza here. Service was also very friendly. Thank you! read more

Magnificent ice cream! Home made and fantastic flavors. Cookies, pizza, etc nice little outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy. read more

Ended up going back a few days later and the service was great. The cashier was very friendly and professional so I'm sure the last cashier was just having an off day. The owner did reach out to offer a gift certificate which we appreciated but didn't find it necessary. read more

Great menu. Fresh ingredients. Great service. We enjoyed lunch (salad & falafel) so much we are going back for pizza dinner. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Service, friendliness. We got there late and they were wonderful to cook us our pizzas with a smile. Pizzas were delish.

I'm sorry to say that our experience at Frankie's tonight was very disappointing. The pizza crust is tasteless, the mushrooms were uncooked. Very bland and very expensive. The reviews online are very mixed, but I'd skip this place. read more

Yum! How nice to find delicious this crust vegan pizza. We bought a Smuggler's ( red peppers, onions, mushrooms with vegan cheese. Staff at the register gave us great advice about how to adjust ingredients to make our pizza vegan. read more

Service very poor. They are apparently unable to customize any of the set pizza options. This didn't quite make sense, but after several attempts I gave up. read more

Great service, delicious pizza! I got a slice of pepperoni pizza for a good price and it was huge! Come early, as I'm sure they run out quickly due to quality and price. I really enjoyed the pralines and cream ice cream too. Give this place a try! read more

Yummy banana shake, not on the menu but the young man made it and it was delicious. Pizza to go was great half bbq #10 and have veggie #3.

Even though, they serve Cowlick's, they had more and better selection and eager to please staff. We only enjoyed ice cream in their petite patio, which was one of our of the Mendo highlights. read more

Small cute restaurant serving pizza and ice cream. Friendly staff and servers, but it is busy so it takes time to get served. The pizzas we ordered were very good as was the ice cream. read more

Fantastic mushroom ice cream! The pizza was awesome too, the goat cheese was lovely. The staff was very friendly as well. Well done!

I would have rather had a Costco pepperoni pizza. And for the price, you could get six full pies. No cheese, no sauce, no flavor.

We stopped here for lunch while visiting Mendocino for a few hours. I was surprised at the big menu & range of items they had! My friend & I both got the pesto chicken piadine and it was yummy! I thought it had the perfect amount of dressing, pesto, and veggies! I wish there was a bitttttt more chicken, for how much flatbread there was. They flatbread tasted fresh and yummy though! Their pizza & ice cream also looked tasty! I'd love to stop by again and try a few more things if in the area! read more

Long wait on the weekends, took 15mins past the 20 minute wait time. I could look past that if the pizza was good, it's not. Undercooked zero char and $30 for a small?!? The Brickery is the only pizza in town worth eating read more

The owner reached out after my review and was very receptive to my feedback and showed a genuine interest in improving the staff performance. Nobody is perfect and I really appreciate the prompt response and the intention to use what happened as a teaching moment. Ruth clearly cares about her business and the customers. read more
