I had dinner tonight at Frank's Pizza located at 2544 Bainbridge Boulevard in the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake. This place is a little off the beaten path but it's well worth a visit. An Uber driver recommended them to me as I got a ride home from the airport. It did not disappoint... Ashley, the server on duty tonight was fantastic. She was friendly and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. I started out with the House Salad for $5.99 consisting of Lettuce, Tomatoes and Onions. I opted for the recommended House special dressing and it was very good. I tried to keep it simple tonight since I was flying solo and I ordered a 14" Pepperoni Pizza. This was amazing. It was crunchy on the outside and soft in between in an almost "How do they do that" kind of way. Pizza sauce was very tasty as was the cheese and ample amount pepperoni on the pizza.

Ordered a few nights ago for takeout. It was ready before the estimated time so I didn't have to wait. Pizza tasted good, gyro was just ok, wings were fine but a little soggy from being in the container for about 20min. I would consider the "hot" sauce to be actually probably just under a medium. Had to deduct a star for the price. Over $100 for 3 pizzas, a gyro, and wings. :( read more

Overpriced to heck and they have a Trump dollar bill taped on one of the machines in there. Will never be a customer again. Food was also subpar especially for the price. Grilled salmon Caesar salad was $20 and wasn't even good. Wtf. read more

Shockingly sh!tty customer service at Frank's Pizza in South Norfolk On Saturday we wanted to order a pizza, but apparently the website doesn't have the option of ordering a plain cheese pizza. We tried the listed phone number and that went to voicemail, so my son went to order in person. When he got home and looked at the receipt, he realized that he'd been charged for an extra item that he didn't order or receive. I called the number ON THE RECEIPT immediately and it went to voicemail. I left a message describing the situation, and left my name and phone number. No one called back. On Thursday my son stopped by the restaurant to request a refund and was told (by a manager) that they couldn't do it. And that they never got my voicemail because the number on their receipt apparently is not their phone number?? The best they would do it give us the item that we paid for but didn't order and didn't particularly want. So very generous of them. We won't be going back for their very mid pizza. Beware of their-I guess you could call it "trump discount": something that you pay for and don't receive. read more

Placed an order online, picked up, got home, 2 orders of fries were missing. We didn't call last night, instead waited until today because we wanted to eat our subs while they were hot. Well, we're out over $8 because they said we should have called last night! Will take our business elsewhere; we've been customers for more than a few years. No longer! I was going to tell them that the subs weren't up to their usual quality, but didn't bother since they did not offer to give us the fries we'd paid for. NOT good customer service, right? read more

As a native New Jerseyan and Chicagoan who has spent much time in both NYC and Connecticut, I know good pizza when I have it. And I know pizza hat's made by people who would like to pretend they are making the real thing, but in reality, it tastes as generic as your typical national chain delivery joint. Frank's knows what they're doing with making a great pie. I called ahead to eat in and the pizza was served to me maybe fie minutes after I sat down. The problem was they put pepperoni on the pizza instead of sausage, which is what I had actually ordered. They did apologize, and they immediately remade the pizza. The crust is quite thin, but still thick enough where you can get a nice chew on it, essential for any thin crust pizza. And I am a big fan of that thinly sliced Italian sausage, the kind that looks like shaved gyro meat. The tomatoes were sliced a little uneven, some thick, some thin. I wiped out 4 slices easily, it was a really good pizza. I do live in Newport News, but if I'm in the area, it's definitely worth stopping in to grab a pie. read more

I have been a Frank's fan for years. I didn't know they had moved to the shopping center with food Lion. Now that I found them I'm back home. They have great Pizza, but their Stromboli is the best you can get In Hampton Roads. I would go there anytime to get it. The wait staff is courteous and are attentive to the needs of their customers. The place is clean and well kept, bright and welcoming. I highly recommend Frank's Pizza. read more

Food & Service were amazing! The place itself is large and inviting! Great ambiance!

I come here for my weekly pizza or dinner run and I can say everything and anything good about this place. The owner and all the workers are amazing and nice. The area is always clean and they always offer if I need anything else. The price for their food is spot on! I would recommend this place over anywhere else every day! read more

Probably some of the best pizza I have had since moving from NY to Va. And the sauce that came with the garlic knots? OUTSTANDING read more

I went by initial reviews, and I'm on a personal mission to find something close to my hometown pizza shop named Gino's. This pizza seemed promising until that first bite, and it was so salty that it had to be thrown out. They may have improved, as that was a year ago, but it made the list of "Never again". read more

Frank's Pizza 1 is a SoNo tradition that has been around for decades, four of them to be precise. This Italian restaurant is located in a depressed area of the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake in the rundown Southgate Plaza. The huge parking lot for the shopping center is usually pretty empty so parking will never be a problem though the lot is in pretty sad shape. Somehow in this less than favorable setting, Frank's Pizza 1 has thrived for many years and is a local favorite. They've been putting out some really delicious Italian food for the past 40 years. I've been to Frank's many times but in the last five or six years. I can't really explain why it had been so long but my wife and I were visiting a relative in the area and when the conversation turned to dinner I immediately thought of Frank's. I pulled up the Yelp app and called to place an order for a large (16 inch) Frank's Special Pizza. Ordering over the phone was quick and easy. I walked through the restaurant's front door about twenty minutes later and was greeted immediately. The place smelled amazing with all the wonderful Italian food aromas wafting around the room. My olfactory senses were titillated. I didn't have to wait long as they pulled my order out of the big pizza oven a few minutes later. My pizza was still fresh and hot when I got back to the house. The Frank's Special Pizza is topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. The topping portions were generous and when I took the first bite the combination of flavors formed a perfect symphony in my mouth. I loved everything about it. The slightly charred crust, the wonderful tomato sauce, all that gooey cheese and the amazing toppings. My wife and her sister had never had food from Frank's but they really enjoyed it so this definitely won't be their last time. I'm already looking forward to my next pizza. Frank's has a full range of Italian menu items and everything is really good but for me it's all about the pizza. If you dine in they offer beer and wine by the glass. This locally owned and operated business was established in 1980 and the fact that they have survived and even thrived in this location for so long is a testament to their ability to make amazing Italian food at reasonable prices. The employees are friendly and pleasant, they make you feel appreciated. I will be returning soon. read more

Best Pizza, Stromboli and sauce in the area forsure. I grew up with this restaurant nearby and the family that runs it is great and takes care of it's customers. Classic Italian resturant. read more

Portions are good. Priced are high. No low carb options. I would recommend a cauliflower crust option.

Everything you order is short on something. We ordered the 16" Franks special pizza. We added extra cheese to 1/2. The other side had almost nothing on it. The pepperoni and sausage were scarce and sliced so thin you could see through it. One of us got the alfredo . The sauce was as thin as water and wouldn't stick to the fettuccini. Another got a sub, at the slice you could just barely see a profile of the meat and cheese. For a 12" sub, the bread outweighed the rest of the sandwich. Good Luck read more

I have tried at least 6 different pizza places since moving back here. We were gone for 15 years so many of our old places are gone. Frank's has, hands down the best pizza I've had here. To me they've really captured the NY pizza flavor and style. The crust and sauce are great, but to me the best part is their cheese. It truly sent me back to my childhood growing up in the NYC area. I can also recommend their chicken fingers. Very good flavor and not greasy at all. So good for dipping in Marinara. read more

BEST CHICKEN PHILLY I HAVE EVER HAD! Most places just do chicken chunks for their verson and it doesn't have the same flavor profile as a regular Philly. (I don't eat red meat) Their chicken Philly is chopped up with the onions peppers and mushrooms & with the white cheese. Honestly, I have been dreaming about it ever since I ate it a few days ago. read more

This is as hometown no frills regulars pizza you can get. Now a days(according to locals) its in hood central. I been here for lunch and dinner and there is a different vibe. The pizza ??? ZOMG! It is the fucking bomb!! Serious. Im a giant pizza lover and this is really really good. Worth the trip. Even with the time change it getting dark at 530pm.... it's worth the trip. If you are in Chesapeake area... do yourself a huge favor and stop here. You can watch the guy flip your dough fresh fresh. He atmosphere looks like they been here for a very long predictable comfortable long time. I heard they are moving across the street for 2020. I'm sure the food will be the same high quality as it is now. I'm not kidding. It's really really good!!! read more

The service was good. No wait to sit. Came in as a group of four for lunch. I got a club sandwich and fries. The sandwich was really big. I could hardly fit it into my mouth. The stromboli was hardly distinguishable from the calzone. They were folded almost the same way. The pizza slices were well above average. The fries were lacking, they tasted like frozen from a bag fries. The food was all good with the exception of the fries and the price was very good. I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch. Just make sure you have time to wait for your food. They are not extremely fast. read more

I've lived in VA 20 years and can honestly say Frank's makes the hands- down BEST pizza I've ever had whether in VA or up north! Don't be dissuaded by the run down, almost scary strip mall and disheveled parking lot on approach (they're also about to move across the street to a less threatening looking area). When you walk in the door, you're pleasantly surprised at how busy they are and the aroma....OMG! My husband has been coming here since he was five years old. Little has changed and THAT'S what also makes this place so special. If you enjoy NY style pizza, piping hot, the smoothest cheese, sauce that'll make you want to slap your grandma, give them a try! I can assure you, you'll be back... again... and again..... and again. read more

Frank should not have moved across the street. Food burnt and management said it's the way it should be. Sad times.

Best pizza in Hampton Roads. Haven't been inside their new location, but the pizza is still just as great!

Great service, fantastic pizza in a comfortable, casual establishment. Highly recommend the garlic knots. Thin crust pizza was exactly what we were looking for. Will be back again soon! read more

I was craving pasta for dinner. I always pass by this place and finally got a chance to try them out. It's surrounded by a bunch of some-what failed businesses so you can miss it if you're not careful. Nice and clean place. Not what I thought but it was still a nice place. I got an order to go. I chose spaghetti with mushroom sauce. It came with bread and a side salad, I got Italian dressing with it. It was good. Nice rustic and developed sauce; noodles weren't over-cooked which is a plus in Italian cooking. If I had any critique it would be that it came with too much sauce. I don't mind extra sauce but if I wanted soup I would have gotten that instead. I wanted some meat too but a side of sausage would've costed me like $5 extra; no thank you. I was still satisfied with my meal though. The wait staff was nice. Cute blonde and sexy men. That's a nice combination. I will come back for another take-out order. I would love to try what else they have to offer. read more

Frank's Pizza - Ziti w/Italian sausage, salad w/ranch, root beer (not included). Awesome!! - Pizza Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Salads are a complete rip off 10.00 for a head of lettuce and now the pizzas are quality of lil Caesar's very sad to see a historic place such as this change to such terrible food quality and price . Then they say we will give you 10 percent off next order . I told them not to bother . All these great reviews are from people that have no idea of quality food , price and quality . Not worth it go next door to food lion and buy frozen read more

I love Frank's pizza. You know when you eat something so good you dance and you're speechless, well Franks will do just that. You will put your cell phone down (so will the hubs and kiddos) and just enjoy the moment. I recommend the wings and Frank's Special Pizza. It's so clear that the owners put so much love in their food and restaurant. You will def crave their food once you've tried it. This is your sign to check them out!!!!! read more

Pizza be on point just need to add more cheese and toppings to them specifically for the prices

I am a native New Yorker and a self professed pizza aficionado. My friend had been telling me that Frank's was authentic New York pizza... and I was skeptical... then he brought me there. Everything there, from the warm staff, the decor, and last but definitely not least, the food, is all top notch. I was transported back to NYC. Be assured, Frank's pizza hands down has the best pizza in Virginia. read more

First time ordering. Called it in. Host was great! Service was fine. But personally I think the quality of the pizza was . It's not there. Burnt on the bottom. And just not of my interest to order it again. Asked for extra sauce. Didn't seem like it was there. Ordered 2 gyros. Didn't realize came with fries. And apparently doesn't cost no less to not get fries. That's dumb. Service is good but the food quality isn't. read more

Reminds of up pizza up north. Very fresh ingredients. Tastes like everything is made from scratch. Very high quality meats and cheeses. Best pizza I've had in Virginia. read more

I found this place through Yelp. Had I found it just driving by I would have never stopped in. The shopping center it resides in looks exactly like you would see in a post apocalyptic movie. Whoever owns the shopping center should be ashamed of themselves. That said, should you be brave enough to venture in...wow, what a delicious pizza joint. Perfect crust, flavorful sauce, generous toppings...would be tough to ask for more. Friendly staff to boot. read more

Despite its unfortunate location in a sketchy mostly abandoned strip mall, Franks is great! They make a fantastic pizza as well as delicious hot wings! But the best part about Franks is the convenience! You can't beat that 1 minute drive home with a piping hot pizza! read more

This place is located in what looks like an abandoned strip mall. Seriously. There's weeds growing on the lot, and looks legitimately scary. Luckily, once inside Frank's, everything changes, and you are greeted warmly to a casual, delicious pizza joint. I myself ordered the calzone with pepperoni. And it was huge. I believe it was only $8, and it filled me up. There was a ton of cheese and pepperoni, and everything was so delicious. I also sampled the garlic knots, which were also very good. Don't let the location stop you from coming here! Next time I'm in Norfolk, I'll definitely have to do a drive by at lunch for some of this good stuff. read more

I ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza it was $17.55 for delivery. I expected a little more maybe a bigger pizza maybe like an EXTRA large but it was simply just a large. It was very delicious however, I just expected more. I will give another review once I visit the establishment. They were fast and friendly with the delivery. It was a nice thin and flimsy greasy NY style pizza. You have to fold in half to eat and the cheese was extra heavy. Went very well with a cold beer. Stand by for future review :) read more

Frank's Pizza - That's all that's left of a extra large for $20 delivery hahahaha - Pizza Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We have been ordering take out or delivery here for 30 years but we have stopped and will no longer be back. Too many times have they messed up our orders, left items out, delivered in bad shape and been rude when we called to get things resolved. The menu says club sandwich is ham turkey and bacon, everyone knows those are the meats on a club. The owner says we don't put bacon on the clubs, what? The menu says it comes with bacon, the world knows and expects bacon but no. It came with bacon for the last 30 years but ok be rude, no bacon for you. Sad to see a place like this go down hill. We have put up with a lot of little things over the years but always came back, mostly out of convenience and the cheesecake. The food has always been pretty good but attitude counts too. Far too many places earn our business. read more
