Wife and I were headed to Emerald Theater to see Drunk Pirates. We stopped in at Franks for a slice before the show. And then again after the show. Frank's is awesome. The best NYC style pizza place in H-town. Small venue and crowded just like NYC. You can't go wrong but don't be in a super hurry. read more

great after hours pizza! the service is fast and friendly. my only gripe is they only had pepperoni pizzas... so everyone was plucking off pepperonis and throwing them around outside (very much undergrad vibes) the space is tiny, so we were packed tight waiting in line. the bathroom was really clean and there wasn't a ridiculous line for it-- a major win for after hours pizza. i would definitely check it out again in hopes of getting a plain cheese slice. bonné appétit c. read more

We've all heard the hype and I see why. This is good pizza. I've been to Frank's twice and each time it's good. I ordered the wings the first time want a huge fan but they weren't terrible. The next time I ordered a slice of pizza and a burger. Both were delicious. This place is right across from cooking girl and usually has seating upstairs. read more

Secret food stop #2, super cool little two story Italian restaurant, obviously known for it's pizza. I love the old historic building, and for a Tuesday before noon, this place is already quite happening. We are getting something off their 'secret menu ' . Our food tour host, Lou, is great, and I am certain the service at a place like this is fantastic. Bacon boudain pizza is our item today, yummy, highly recommend asking for this. It doesn't sound like it's on the menu, so ask for it and you won't be disappointed . read more

This place is set on a corner and truly gives me the New York vibes. There is seating on main floor and upstairs. You can get the slices they have made or whole pizzas and other things as well! Gotten a cheese slice and another one that had sausage and bacon on it. Big slices, hot and delicious! 2 slices and a drink for about $13. I would definitely come back if im in town! read more

Frank's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came in on a Friday evening to get the boudin pizza ofc. The place has a pizza place style with an upstairs as well, which is a little less busy and can be more intimate I'd say. Be mindful that there's NO PARKING! There's two spots in the front.. but I'm pretty sure the staff snags that up as soon as they get here. There's a Parking lot around the corner and that mf is 18.23 for 10 hours.. so honestly either take a Lyft, get dropped off or have someone waiting on you cause ugh! My pizza cost 18.50 and took about 15 min. To make and for a medium it sure looks like a small! The pizza wasn't bad, but it was dry, maybe I should have asked for extra sauce.. Overall I'm happy I was able to try it to see what the hype was about.. but I can't see myself going back, it was really wayyy too dry read more

Excellent pizza. And I felt like I was in NYC. We came here on a whim on an early Saturday night (around 8 p.m.), though this joint has been on our radar for years. The atmosphere is somewhat dingy, but not in a dirty way. Rather, it just felt like they spend so much time turning out wonderful pies that they really don't have time to touch up the paint. Seating is limited. We found a table in the loft, and it was just fine. It's counter service here, and the young lady who took our order was polite and efficient. Parking, by the way, is on the street or in one of the nearby garages. Most importantly, the pizza here is really good. The atmosphere reminded me of so many pizza joints in NYC, as did the pizza -- thin, foldable crust and a tomato-forward sauce. The cheese is top notch, as is the uber-thin pepperoni and fresh mushrooms. Slices are available, and seemingly popular, but we ordered a whole pie. I understand that this place is open until the crack of dawn for all the bar-goers. During our visit, however, we were the only customers without kids -- or infants. Yep. It was Romper Room for sure. All of that to say that drunks might get their 3 a.m. pizza fix here, but so too do young families patronize this place much earlier. Fun experience. Wonderful pizza. read more

I wish I had more Franks! The supreme pizza lived up to its name! We had our pizza delivered and it arrived hot! So delicious and on time for the World cup match!!

After going to two bars, my friends and I had the munchies around 1 am on a saturday. So we came here! It was extremely packed yet still manageable and had open seatings. There was also security on site. It was super busy so we just picked a slice of pizza that was ready to go and went upstairs to chill and eat. There were only two types of pizza ready to go, cheese and meat. Everything else had a 20 min wait. The cheese was super stretchy and bread was soft and thin. But I would like more sauce and more topping variety. I really liked how they can sell by the slice and had ready to go boxes if we wanted to eat elsewhere instead. But it was like $5 a slice. Thinking back, it would had been more affordable if we just bought a whole pizza and shared that. There were also napkins on every table. As one of the few places open after 1 am and quick service, I'll come by again and hope there are other variety to try. We parked and paid at a nearby garage. read more

Avoid going if you are a women and it's late night because apparently employees can speak to you however because they're under pressure and cause you to become a victim to assault.

Perfect for late night munchies or after a game. It's a downtown Houston tradition. Been in business for decades so u know it's got to be great! Get yourself a slice or two, you won't regret it. Of course parking is tough, but if you're already parked downtown for a game or live nearby, it's your go to. We bike there from Montrose & Tinsley Park. Great way to finish our workout. read more

Ok late night za. Not amazing but not awful. A bit floppy. Got the sausage veggie which had a lot of toppings on it. Pretty packed for a Thursday night, but the line went quickly. Wish they had more of a variety of slices for purchase, there were only 3 options. You can get a pie if you want to wait. Glad they had packets of crushed red pepper and parmesan to grab to go. read more

Coming here is like being in New York and grabbing a slice. What can I say? It is that good. Authentic and truly delicious in every way. Franks is the kind of place that you can come during the day or you can come after midnight and grab a slice and a cold beer and sit down and people watch. There are times when the line is out the door because it's just that good. Everyone is super friendly because they know that you will leave satisfied. Prices are reasonable. Franks is just a classic! read more

We ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza and it was very good. I am from NYC and it tasted almost as good, so forget the haters, enjoy the pizza. Service was fine, waited inline to place my order, no issues. There is no ambiance and limited seating, however there is good pizza and that's what matters. They also have sandwiches and other entrees but we came for the pizza. read more

Frank's is a good pizza place in downtown Houston. We walked from our hotel and ordered from the restaurant counter. I was amazed how many people stopped in for a slice or two. There was a line most of the time while we were waiting for our pizza to be cooked. We considered staying at eating in, but it was pretty tight quarters inside. They have two small dining in areas, one at the back of the restaurant on a small mezzanine and the other where you enter at the front of the restaurant. We ordered the meat special medium pizza. It was only $16. Wow, great value! The pizza was in good condition after our 6 block walk. The crust was chewy, not crunchy. It could have cooked 1-2 more minutes to give more stability to the undercarriage (crust). The sauce, cheese, and toppings tasted fresh and were tasty. We added red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese to spice and jazz it up. My wife and I really enjoyed the pizza. It was perfect for 2 people. read more

I love franks pizza, I was born and raised in Houston so it's been a staple in my life. I've brought my kids here since they were young and now Everytime we are downtown this is where they want to eat and I never have any disagreement on that. Their pizza is amazing, it's cheap. You can grab just a slice. They will make whatever you want. They are always fast and super friendly. Its decor is all Houston based movie posters all over. We love Frank's! read more

Frank's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were in Houston to see the Astros, and heard from the Hotel we were staying at that Frank's was THE pizza spot to hit up after the game. We figured it would be pretty busy, so we decided to phone in our order while we walked there. Was just about a 1/2 mile from the stadium, so not bad at all. We were told it would be about 20-25 minutes for our order, and by the time we arrived, we still had about 10 minutes remaining. It did take a bit longer than what we were told, however, they were VERY busy. The place is definitely small when you first walk in, and somewhat of a tight space. I did see they had an upstairs for those choosing to eat there, as there were just a couple tables available right when you walk in along with bar seats. Was VERY noisy and VERY crowded. We ordered 2 medium pepperoni pizzas and an order of garlic bread. The pizza was pretty good, however, we felt the garlic bread didn't quite "make the cut". It seemed pretty bland and dry. Would we come here again? ABSOLUTELY! The pizza was def better than your basic pizza chains. My only suggestions would be to add a bit more "umpff" to the garlic bread, and add a "Pick Up" sign and spot for those who do to-go orders. Was confusing as to where to go to pay and pick up our order. read more

The pizza is always fresh for the most part but not that great my personal opinion I orders the spicy wings and they were given to me plain. Service the wait for wings sucks order your slices after you put in your order for wings if you like to eat it at the same time. But wings were plain very hot and fresh but not what I wanted ambiance loud nothing major . I would probably go to another pizza place from now on . read more

The food here is consistent, affordable and always hits the spot. The staff is friendly and gets the orders moving. Whenever I am around the area this pizzeria is always on my list of spots to eat. There are usually crowds, but they have upstairs seating. I like to sit up at the front and people watch all of the theatre crowds. The ambience is kind of a dive but that's the charm about this place. I love it! read more

I love the pizza here. Too bad their wings never have a timeframe of when they'll be ready. I'll give them a four star cause of their pizza but i've learned not to order anything else but that. I also hate having to order ahead by phone, finding parking, driving into downtown. i may have to change my star rating read more

Took my husband to Frank's for the first time. Safe to say he loved it. We got the large meat special pizza and had 4 slices each. The pizza tastes amazing fresh. They normally have pizza slices to grab and go ,but if you want anything more you will have to wait. The wait can get pretty long as they are making the pizza fresh. We went on a Saturday night which is normally a busy time. They do close at 3am on Saturdays. Well known pizza spot downtown, so there is usually always a line. Like I said earlier , you can grab the pizza and go. However , there are places to sit but limited. Downstairs can get a little crowded , so I would suggest sitting upstairs if you can. read more

Frank's Pizza - Meats special (Large) - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Man, Frank's Pizza is a downtown institution. I'm not downtown as often as I used to be, but if you were in the area late at night, there was no better place to grab a slice. Even the carriage drivers coming from Discovery Green make an option to stop there and pick up slices if you're interested in doing so. The pizzas are New York style, with large slices at reasonable prices. They're a bit greasy at times, but it's well worth it. You can grab a table and order a whole pie cooked to order, but most people grab a slice and get it in that not-so-little triangle box. You don't have to worry about the pizza by the slice, because enough people are ordering it that they're churning out new pies every few minutes and you know you're always getting something fresh. With other chain restaurants trying to imitate true New York pizza in their menu offerings as of late, they'd all be well served to taking a visit to Franks and seeing how it's done. read more

Their pizza was amazing! My wife and I got a large Meat Special and we thought there would be some leftover to take home, but it was just too good to not eat it fresh! It was well worth the wait and the hassle to find parking, as it is downtown. Expect a line, especially on Saturday night, but they move quickly if you are only ordering single slices (will take longer for boxes or non-pizza items). There is not much seating space for dinning in, but you will have better luck finding open tables upstairs than downstairs. Overall, I recommend, particularly after a night out downtown when you are already in the area and don't have to find parking specifically just for pizza. read more

Not a ton of places to sit and eat but plenty of room if you do get a spot. read more

Not sure how I feel about this one. Lots of great reviews so I was maybe expecting more than what it really is. When I came in, they had only a few flavors ready for grab and go - cheese, pepperoni, meat, and supreme. No unique flavors which was kind of a bummer. I really wanted to try something like Pesto Chicken or even Hawaiian. The pizza itself was OK. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. It takes a lot of work to mess up pizza and they in no way did that but it just didn't live up to the hype for me that I saw on past Yelp reviews. Prices were cheap enough so I didn't feel robbed though. Would I go back? Maybe. If it is late and I'm looking for something cheap and fast. For pizza by itself? Probably not. read more

The best pizza by the slice!!! Enough said. No pics! Just my straight up honest review. We had the pepperoni and jalapeño slice. Conveniently located near Market Square Park, The Henke & PILLOT , La Carafe and Warren's Inn (Irish Bar). It's Houston's Historic Theatre District! So whether if you're catching a show at the 713 Music Hall or a show at one of the nearby theatres or just getting a drink from the near by bars. A must for a late night slice before you head on home! read more

This little pizza place stays busy! I'm from out of town and I wanted to try one of the best pizza spots recommend by locals - which brought me to Franks. You can order pizza that's hot and ready by the slice. When I say slice I mean a huge NY style slice. You can also order whole pizzas made to order or other things. The food was inexpensive. It was quite fast paced but not loud. It definitely did not disappoint. The pepperoni pizza slice I got was fresh out of the oven, oozing with stretchy cheese and steamy toppings. The sauce had good flavor too. read more

Ordered a medium Frank's Scrumptious Supreme as you can't order a personal sized one on pickup orders. Picking up from Frank's can be a challenge, and they do mention a host of options for parking in the area since there are just three spots out front. Being from the NY-NJ-PA area, I have had a lot of great pizza. I was told that Frank's is in this league. The toppings were fresh and plentiful, but the vegetables were undercooked, particularly the onions. Sauce was good and flavorful. Pizza crust was undercooked and gummy. If this pie was fully cooked it should have had a nice crisp snap to it. Basing it on this one pie I would rate Frank's a 6 out of 10. read more

I tend to have a love/hate relationship with most pizza joints as I'm getting older. Franks was the OG of pizza spots in my book, growing up I thought it was the best NY style pizza ever.. that is until I of course visited The big apple in person. Don't get me wrong, it's still satisfies the late night inebriated me on any given weekend but unless the kids request it I no longer frequent during daylight hours. Service is normally fast paced, yet sustainable and friendly. Parking situation is non existent but if I'm staying at a downtown hotel, I will for sure order delivery. I will say, the wings are probably my favorite thing now. read more

Frank's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

As one of the H-Town's most well known NY style pizzeria's, Frank's has played a pivotal role in the downtown lunch and late night night scene. The many years of serving drunk craving pizza has served them well, giving this place a fanbase amongst club goers, drunks, and late night enthusiasts (#1). The cliff note's version for folks seeking out New York pizza: If Frank's were actually located in NYC, this would likely rank on the lower end of the pizza spectrum. This is middle of the road to lesser New York pizza, but everything tastes good when drunk. It's not hard to pinpoint the differences, Frank's pizzas are of a slightly thicker end crust, the sauce to cheese ratio is way off, and the baking has a certain kind of Costco-esque broil finish to it. The conveyor oven that they use is stuff I would attribute to some of the national pizza chains, which appeals to a lot of the rest of the America. It's not bad pizza per se, but it's not in the same realm as some of the more typical pizza joints in any of the five boroughs. Also, what's up with the whole slices of tomatoes in the margherita? There is usually a good crowd here and the seating is limited to the upstairs and some counter / small table space in the front. Most patrons are going in takeout mode and order pizza by the slice. A lot of the slices are in the sub-$4+ range, which makes them a slightly pricier option (#2) right off the bat. I realize that one of the weakest links in H-Town's food scene is pizza but that likely won't stop me from coming here. I still appreciate their individual sized pizza slice boxes and the fast paced service. It's really about managing expectations, which if any, should be fairly low. ____________ (#1) :::raises hand::: Present. (#2) Foodflation. Our biggest foe. read more
