Sausage, mushroom, and tomato pie
Adam B.

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.

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.

The prices are very reasonable. They are what I would expect to pay at any Italian restaurant.

From the moment we walked through the door, the kind greeting, warm smiles, and amazing hospitality made us feel right at home. It's like sitting in your grandmother's house--even the mismatched plates add to the charm! Everything has a story, and the owner is there to tell you all about it. He's from Italy, and his love for his family, his heritage, and his food shines through. We loved hearing about his oven, his cooking style, and the family members behind the names of his pizzas. I won't give away all the wonderful things he shared--you deserve to hear them from him! Between the stories, the history, and the warm welcome, we felt like we had known the owners and staff our whole lives. And the pizza? Simply amazing! The crust is hands-down delicious, the flavors are beautifully balanced, and everything is so fresh. You can smell it before you even take that first bite, and then you taste the care that went into every pie. Save room for the apple strudel cheesecake! It is truly out of this world, and I'm already planning my next visit. Pizza Amanti gives you every reason to slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy good food and wonderful company. Five stars without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend! Amazing atmosphere no 927 Battlefield Blvd N, Suite 600, Chesapeake, VA 23320

My daughter and sister both have severe dairy allergies and we're looking forward to enjoying some pizza, something they don't get often. When we picked up the food, the server didn't know where our order was for a time and struggled to communicate with us to figure out which one was ours. They finally got it sorted. When we got it back to our beach house - nearly a 40min drive - we realized that nothing was labeled and all the cheese appeared the same. In the process of trying to figure out which breadstick was vegan and which was not, it's like my sister and/or daughter both ate the wrong ones and will suffer from the awful symptoms they experience from dairy in the days to come. Even after calling and speaking with a manager, we aren't sure which is which because she couldn't describe what the differences are between the two cheeses. The order was over $90 and in the end only half of our group could even eat it because we didn't want to risk any more exposure to dairy. This food was supposed to be our lunch tomorrow as well, and now we will have to spend more money on a second meal simply because, in the manager's words, "They don't have time to label things." No refund was offered even though a whole pizza and a whole sheet of breadsticks was left untouched by the people who were supposed to be able to eat it. What was meant to be a relaxing evening with everyone enjoying their food turned into a stressful night of throwing together PB&J's and hoping no one gets sick.
