I grew up with Frankies, i love them dearly, BUT what happened in the last month around Aug 2025 with the pizza crust ?. It really lost flavor we all loved and it's more like a piece of cardboard not exaggerating. The last 3 pizzas crusts are not the same. Sorry but they need to know. read more

There was little to no bacon on our bcb. Asked for stuffed crust didn't get it. Asked for double crust in other pizza and didn't get it

Called in ahead of time to place an order for pizzas and to have them ready and picked up later that evening. Pizzas were made hours ahead of time leaving a stale and chewy experience with all four pizzas looking like double crusts which concluded my order not made fresh and a bit alarming, considering that's a huge food violation but luckily my dogs have stomachs of steel. For a place that has 4 generations of family and been in business for 50+ years it sure is ran pretty loosey-goosey. It wouldn't be a surprise if this establishment continues to get sued for misconduct in the workplace in addition to formal investigations by the State and Health department for violating protocols. A business that switches ownership and changes establishment names to avoid rears with the government while using personal accounts on business should say enough. The public has a right to be informed, and parents need to be vigilant and made aware of Billy Beesley who lurks around the establishment. He has a tendency to unnecessary and excessively touch children, constantly testing children's boundaries, while positioning himself as a principle. If the owner and Jesse Welty had half a brain and valued intellect over materialistic possessions while being part of the problem, they too good see the successful grooming this pedophile has done to their own kids, grandkids and other children in the community. read more

Greatest pizza around, if u want pizza u should probably go to Frankie's bc it's like rlly good

The food is always great. Never misses. Service can be hit or miss though only simply it seems because there's too much for the waitress to do - never their fault. Every server has been kind and friendly. Standard old school wooden diner. read more

Frankie's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

My husband & I stopped there for lunch October 7th, 2024 on our way to Bayfield. We are Vegans & trying to find Vegan option restaurants in small towns is not always easy! But Frankie's Pizza made us a DELICIOUS Vegan pizza! Just ask for Shea, our waitress & she'll know how to make it right!!! Their oven fries were really good too. We will definitely go there again when we're on vacation! A word to the owner....PLEASE get more Vegan options! There are a lot of us Plant Based people who travel & WE NEED GOOD RESTAURANTS when we're away from home! You have good food, so adding some more Plant Based options would be REALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!! read more

Outstanding pizza. Good crust, sauce and fresh ingredients. I have had pizza all over the state and in Illinois and this is as good as they have read more

We have always been very pleased with Frankie's in the past, but our recent visit on July 9th was not good! First of all the server was very inattentive and we requested fries as an appetizer and they barely came out before the pizza which took an overly long time and needless to say our pizza was not up to the normal standard of what we were used to. It was not the thick crust it was before, they used a cheap sausage(like tombstone) and the sauce was all watery and the grease was incredible!!! We usually would order a pizza to take for home and we could not even eat what we had it was so bad. So unfortunately we will have to find a new spot to go next time!!!! So sad to break our tradition!!! read more

Frankie's Pizza - a woman holding a pizza box - Pizza Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

The pizza was fabulous , totally enjoyed it We ordered on line and was ready when we got there to pick up .

Ordered the works pizza and a small pepperoni pizza which took about 35 min until ready. Prices are very reasonable. $14 for a large is really a decent price in my book. Pizza itself was okay. I like that they cut it into squares, but it was really little squares which is a nice change from the traditional triangle slices. The mushrooms were canned which I'm not a huge fan of. The pepperoni is underneath which is good to know since they slap one lone pepperoni slice on the pizza. It was okay pizza. read more

In for the night after a long atv ride from west central Wisconsin. We were hungry, and can't wait to try something new in Ashland. We ordered one of the house special pizzas. The crust was great, unique and well prepared. Very good! The wait staff was good and attentive, the wait time is expected for a specialized pizza. read more

We were in town for the night and walked to a bar close to our hotel to watch the home run derby. Many of the neighboring restaurants were closed. As it was a Monday night and with staff shortages this is what happens. Our bartender recommended us Frankies Pizza and said they would deliver to the bar. We ordered a pizza and when delivered we were amazed. The pizza was fantastic. Perfect seasoning perfect flavor. We would highly recommend read more

Not a bad pizza joint. Pretty divey atmosphere but not horrible. Pleasant service. Decent pizza. Pretty limited beer selection. Reasonably kid friendly. Not bad for pizza if in area. Note: they do accept credit cards. read more

Recently I was in Ashland for work training and I stopped in Frankie's Pizza to grab dinner. My original plan was to eat there, so I walked into the dining room. As soon as I walked in, I was a little uncomfortable. I felt like that guy that walks into the bar and all the locals stop what they are doing and stare. As I was waiting to be seated, a waitress came out from the kitchen area and served a table. I am 99.999 % sure she saw me but didn't say anything to me. Instead of acknowledging me, she sat and chit chatted with the locals, then went in back. I was also not acknowledged by the second waitress either. Thinking there may be more to the process of getting a table or ordering, I went back outside and walked around the building to the other door. When I entered, it was a small area which appeared to be where you could order your food to go. The waitress (2nd one) greeted me and said "Oh, I was just about to come out and help you." I told her not to worry and that I would just order to go. Onto the pizza, it was really good. I got the CDI pizza which consisted of Double Crust - Double Cheese - Double Sauce - Canadian Bacon - Sausage - Pepperoni - Mushrooms - Onions. Plenty of toppings and cheese for sure. To be honest, it was even better cold the next morning. I'll be stopping in again, but getting it to go again so I can avoid the awkward dining room. read more

Frankie's Pizza - CDI 12" - Pizza Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

Honestly I wish I would have ordered the jumbo pizza. For the price of $11 that was the best damn pizza I've had in a long time! Normally our family of 3 wouldn't be able to finish a large pizza on our own but we devoured it in about 10 minutes. Tips! Order early! We called at 5 PM and pick was at almost 7 PM. But it's worth the wait. read more

The carry out was quick and we got 2 small pizzas. BBQ Chicken and Hawaii. Both great. Would Like to combine the Hawaiian with bbq sauce. That would be the ultimate! read more

Frankie's Pizza is just about as good as it gets! The pizza is amazing, the crust is amazing, the sausage is amazing! The garlic bread with cheese is amazing! This is a small restaurant that is always jammed packed. Bring cash - because the don't accept credit cards! read more

Frankie's Pizza - Large Sausage Pizza...so delicious...can't wait for our next visit! - Pizza Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

Their pizza is just okay. However, with a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases, you'd think workers would be required to wear masks. They are not. I'll spend my money elsewhere. read more

Frankie's is fine. The first couple of times we went, I was underwhelmed. It was pizza, so it was fine, but it was certainly nothing special. We did eventually try the stuffed crust pizza, and I would say that is pretty good. It was the only pizza that kept me coming back every so often. So, if you are getting Frankie's, I suggest getting that for the best possible experience while there. However, there are better places to get pizza in town (The Alley, Pizza Pub. Hugo's is pretty similar but a touch better IMO) I'd give them a 3 star review for the stuffed crust pizza alone if not for my last visit. In the midst of our area seeing a sudden uptick in Covid cases and a number of restaurants in town having to quarantine staff that were exposed to possible infection, we ordered takeout from Frankie's. Given the current state of things, I fully expected to see staff in masks, or at least the person working the counter for takeout. There wasn't a single staff person in a mask (you can see into the kitchen from takeout). That included a waitress that was taking drinks out to people in the dining room. I found this wildly irresponsible and pretty much sealed the deal for if we would be back to Frankie's any time soon (ever?). There seemed to be no effort being made to protect the customers or the staff. As an added bonus, I got to listen to the cashier trying to take an order over the phone, get told a time it would be ready by the kitchen, tell the customer that time, take the order, then change the time it would be ready completely out of thin air (adding 40 minutes of wait) and then defended her mistake without checking to see if she screwed up. The order wound up being cancelled... So that didn't really help with my opinion any... read more

When we arrived the place was about half full on a Thursday night. We were in town just for the night (passing through). Decided to try Frankies as reviews were consistently good. Great choice. We were waited on quickly. Pizza came timely (about 25 minutes--didn't time it). Excellent amount of topping and perfectly crispy crust. We paid cash but I noticed others use a credit card so confused by previous review that said cash only. Will gladly come again if ever in town. read more

Frankie's Pizza - the works - Pizza Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

Not the highest end restaurant, but Frankie's offers a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The pizza has a interesting crust that offers a change from the typical crusts offered. The wait staff was very courteous and efficient. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the Ashland area. read more

A must visit in Ashland. They recently setup credit cards which fixed the only issue with this previously cash-only restaurant. I always make it a priority to stop at Frankie's and get the Sausage Mushroom or Taco style pizza. They do it right and the family operating the business is very involved and top notch in the community. ---- previous review ----- I've loved Frankie's for years. The pizza is greasy, in a good way but it's good to set your expectation. Today, we went to lunch with my wife's family and a friend. When the pizza came out, they told us there was a small issue with one. It wouldn't have mattered much but the owner insisted to provide a top notch product. They gave us the "mistake" and brought out the new one when ready at no charge. They were proactive, provided great service, and always amazing food. Thanks Frankie's! read more

The food was okay, but it took an hour and a half, and the "large" pizza we got for the kids was so small we had to run out and get them another pizza. Thank goodness there's a Little Caesar's in town. Lol. read more

Pizza was overdone with burned cheese on top of pizza and some pieces of pizza had way too much seasoning and not much sauce. I a regret taking my family here after seeing the 4.5 star rating. Bathrooms are airplane tiny and had their towel machine looked to have run out of towels a while ago. read more

We were 5 adults and 2 children that had been touring the area and we're hungry. Kids wanted pizza. We ordered cheese, pepperoni and vegetable pizzas. I have never seen everyone eat so much. It was so good! The service was fast and very friendly. They had plenty of activities for the kids to do while we waited for the pizzzas. We will come again. read more

Great pizza!! Sauce was delicious and perfect amount of toppings! This was a late night take out order and the staff rocked! They made sure we had plates, forks, peppers and Parmesan! Service was with a smile and very friendly! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Frankies has the BEST thin crust pizza! As we entered we smelled the aroma of freshly baked pizza....it smelled great! The whole placed smelled like pepperoni. We enjoyed a quiet atmosphere as they were busy delivering pizzas. In spite of that, we had great service, and enjoyed delicious pepperoni thin crust pizza! read more

We love this place, great pizza and the waitress alone is worth the trip. We love the veggie pizza. Great crust and they have more than one vegetarian selection. The place is small and unique. The restrooms are Lilliputian in size, but they work. Truly not your run of the mill pizza place. read more

I don't mind this little pizza place. They have some pretty decent pizzas. They can be a little on the greasy side at times, so that is why I only gave them three stars. And for the fact that there are other pizza places in Ashland that I prefer to Frankie's. I do enjoy their taco pizza.. it is very different from the other pizza place's taco pizza. It just tastes funkier (in a good way). Overall, they are pretty decent. Excellent for big groups.. I don't know how many of the my friends have come here for bday parties over the many years. They cater well to large groups.. I think they serve beer too! I'd like to go back sometime. It's been a while. read more

Ordered 3 pizzas for pick up today so football could be the focus of the day. Wait time was 15 minutes. Absolutely the most delicious pizza in Ashland. Staff was friendly. Frankie's Pizza, cold beer, and football..... it was a good day. read more

Excellent pizza and service. We come through Ashland once a year on vacation. Will definitely eat here again!

We were on vacation and were staying by this pizza place. Ordered the stuffed crust pizza and it was delicious! The crust was filled with cheese and was perfectly crunchy. One of the best pizzas I've had. Service was friendly and they were fast based on the full place. Only downside is that they only take cash or check so be aware. read more

This pizza is unsurpassed in deliciousness. The flavor, the smell - it's a glimpse of heaven. The italian sausage is superb. The sauce is wonderful. I live about an hour away, but any time I have a chance to stop in, I do! You will not be disappointed. read more
