    Doesn't matter - it's all yummy!
    Cassie P.

    Wow! Double Wow! Triple Wow! Best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten. It was legit. You have to reserve your gluten free pizza dough ahead of time and make a separate dining delete reservation. Totally worth it! the homemade soda was great and our salad was simple and delicious. Not a big menu but they are making what they have perfect! Service was stellar! The place was packed and hopping. It's a chill vibe. I can't wait to come back - I wish I lived closer!

    Me and my wife are from Baltimore city, but we've been to Frankly a handful of times because my wife is gluten sensitive and they have probably the best gluten free pizza around. You need to call 24 hours in advance for the gf pizza. The staff is super friendly and the space is cozy and warm. The host greeted me warmly and when he asked me the name on the reservation, he knew right away we requested a gf pizza. I got the meatball pizza (non gf) and asked our waitress if they could make our pizzas with less char. Unfortunately, there was more char on my pizza than I like, and on our way out I saw a table whose pizza didn't have any char. Regardless, the flavors were very good and I enjoyed it. I just avoided the crust, which I usually eat. My wife enjoyed her pizza as well. We will be back because it's always a great experience.

    Kensington has a lot of great hidden spots. Frankly's was a good experience. The waitress was really friendly and the staff was extremely nice. The pizza crust was soft and good. Similar to a 2 Amy's for those that have had it in the city. They do have pizza choices already built for you. The best advice I can give is to do the create your own. My wife and I made alterations to suggested pizzas like adding arugula to the mushroom pizza or me adding jalapeños to the sausage and peppers. I wish I just got a pepperoni and sausage. Save it for the next time!

    First thing getting pizza here in Kensington. Located near the antique row, it's a really nice and cozy spot. We sat inside but there is seating outside. Our server was nice, and got us seated quickly. We ordered the fresh mozzarella margharita and mushroom pizza. You can the wood fire oven and smell the amazing pizza! The pizza tastes really good! The crust is crispy and seasoned really well. We also got their homemade ginger soda which paired really well with the meal. In addition to this we also got their seasonal carrot cake which was soooo good.

    Really cute place, amazing and attentive service. I'd recommend making a reservation, as they have interesting hours, and it gets pretty busy as soon as they open. The inside is pretty small, but there's a nice outdoor seating area as well. Only a few parking spots right in front, but lots of parking in the area within walking distance. Went with a friend, and we got the rosemary focaccia, the Margherita pizza on the specials menu, and the mushroom white pizza. Delicious!!! The focaccia was nice and flavorful, and came straight from the brick oven. It was quite oily, (and comes with a delicious side of olive oil for dipping) so if that's not your jam, I'd skip it. The pizzas were so flavorful and once again, came straight from the brick oven. Nice crispy crust, and incredible flavor. The mushroom pie was my favorite of the two-- I highly recommend. Our waiter was super attentive, and clearly very well informed on all the menu items. Finally, for the quality you're getting, the prices weren't too bad at all in my opinion. I'd definitely recommend!

    Mushroom pizza.  Not bad, had better

    Representing F for 2022 is F is for Frankly Pizza. I went here one time in September 2022 on a date. I was familiar with Frankly since June 2016 when I went to a Fox 5 Zip Trip in Kensington and got a sample of the pizza and thought it was good. This was a 3rd date out of 4 total from December 2021 to May 2023. She was always very busy with her 2 jobs, etc., but let's be honest very busy = Friend zone. I think she got slightly annoyed with my questions to server about menu. I believe I got the Arugula salad as a starter & mushroom pizza. Pizzas are individual size. Prices are comparable to other similar pizzas. These are brick oven style. Let's be Frank, as they are all about the Pizza, with an exclamation point, which I frankly think exclamation is dumb for a business except I like for Yahoo!, but that is one exception, the pizza is decent but overrated. Server was pretty good. Also, it's pretty dark in here, which was a negative for me. I just didn't get the appeal of Frankly!

    The tomato dipping sauce that they brought out with the fresh focaccia was incredible.

    Do I recommend this place? Yes, yes, and 1000 times yes! I knew the minute I saw Anthony Bourdain's picture hanging up on their wall that they meant business. I was able to try the margarita pizza and the pepperoni pizza and they were both extremely delicious. And reminded me of fresh New York Pizza. The margarita pizza was one of their specials that actually had the mozzarella chunks melted and I don't think I can ever go back to it any other type of margarita pizza. This place is an absolute must try. Service was exceptional. The ambience was very warm and inviting. They had a beautiful outdoor seating which was nice because the weather was beautiful when I went and I really enjoyed the location. The neighborhood is located in is really nice and after I had the pizza I was able to just walk around. If you plan your day in advance and have some extra time, I definitely recommend walking around and taking a look at the beautiful homes in the neighborhood.

    Sausage and pepper pizza

    We drove right by Frankly Pizza twice without seeing it. But once we walked inside on a Sunday evening, we were shocked by the crowd. A 45 minute wait - reservations would have been a good idea. The restaurant is packed with locals, not too fancy, lots of families, couples, and older folks. Frankly Pizzas are good, with chewy crusts blackened by the oven. Everything is made from scratch. We split the burrata, a perfectly dressed arugula salad, and a sausage and pepper pizza. The burrata was covered with a thin layer of tomato sauce - very pretty, but I would have preferred something with a little acid. Our pizza could have used another minute in the oven, and we found ourselves looking enviously at the pizzas on the next table, all blistered and crusty. We also thought the sauce on our pizza was a bit too sweet. But we are New Yorkers and very picky about our pizza! Frankly Pizzas are great. Limited wines by the glass were fairly priced. In all, a fun, casual neighborhood joint in Kensington.

    Pizzas are cooked in an oak-fired brick oven and they're delicious. I got the spinach pizza and it was great and cooked well. Pizzas are personal size so one was enough for me. Reservations are recommended even on weekdays due to space, but they do allow walk-ins. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There are only four parking spots in front of the restaurant, with street parking in the surrounding area. They also offer gluten free pizza (advanced notice required). Our server was kind, welcoming and checked on us often.

    This place has improved over the years. Looks like they are redoing some green surrounds and…read morebunkers soon too. I heard rumors they are redoing their fairways next year as well. Affordable memberships considering the area. I have friends who have been members for years and still enjoy it. The golf course is really solid. They have a great mixture of holes. A couple of drivable par 4s and all the par 5s are reachable from certain tees. Two tough par 3s on the back that can make or break a round. Green surrounds are tough if you're in the wrong spot. The greens themselves are always in fantastic shape. They are severely sloped at times, so you must be accurate with your approach shots. I couldn't find the golf course architect on their website, but they did a good job considering the hilly topography and small footprint of the property. But I can also see one hitting pretty much the exact same shots every time no matter what tee box you're playing. Favorite hole: Par 5 12th, except for the yellow range balls that litter the left side. Downhill the entire way. Range on the left, trees and then the 18th hole on the right. Reachable for many with usually a blind-ish to a peninsula green with water right and long. The very tall red stake frames the front right of the green. Very cool hole before the brutally tough par 3 13th. The driving range is good and they have really nice Titleist practice balls to hit. The short game area is outstanding. I could spend hours out there with a few wedges. They have two small-ish putting greens on either side of the clubhouse. The restaurant is a great space and they have an area for bigger events. The food and service are both good too. Sadly, I have not enjoyed the pool area. Just a solid club overall. The members I have interacted with have all been great. I have had and heard somewhat mixed interactions with the people that run the place, but nothing bad enough to write about here.

    Not a member, but apparently, people can purchase a restaurant membership for a yearly fee. That's…read morewhat the in-laws did, otherwise I wouldn't be going. Anyhoo, I've been a few times, and the food is pretty good. Not great, but good. The service is very good, and the overworked staff do a heck of a job considering the obnoxious people they have to wait on.
