This is our go-to pizza place. It's small outside and in, with the wood-burning oven taking up much of the room in the kitchen. Every time we've been there, we meet people who have moved out of the area but still stop by when they are back in town so they can get their fix for hoagies, pizza, salads, pasta and sauce, and bread. The menu is limited to a few select hoagies, pizzas and salads, but everything is exceptional. The hoagies are HUGE--we easily get two or three meals out of a Deluxe. They have a lot of salads they sell in pints and quarts--don't go hungry or you'll leave with a few! They also have Italian ices--honeydew!--which are a really nice, and tasty, way of killing time while you're waiting for your food. They have a couple tables with chairs outside so you don't need to sit in your car while you wait. And the staff--they are so very lovely, welcoming their regulars by name, even those who moved away but come back. Call ahead to put your order in, and be sure to hit an ATM on the way as they are a cash-only business. Buon appetito! read more

This was delicious pizza! We will be back often . I wish i had gotten more while I was there.

Frankstown Wood Fired Pizza is our hands down favorite place to get pizza ... Why, you ask? It's mouthwatering AWESOME! It's the perfect crust, the incredible sauce, the fresh toppings and the stellar people that make the pizza magic happen. When they're not open (vacation in the summer or over the holidays) we don't eat pizza; because we are so spoiled with Frankstown Wood Fired Pizza excellence! Truly, we'd give many more stars if yelp let us! read more

3pm on a Friday. Just got off work and I'm craving good pizza. I got white pizza with pepperoni and the smell of it alone had me mesmerized. The service is what has me writing this review though. It was down pouring outside and there's no room to sit in the shop so the owner asked if I'd like to wait in my car and he'd bring it out to me. I said sure and sure enough 15 minutes later, it was hand delivered. And the pizza is fabulous!!! Highly recommend for good pizza and good service! read more

For the past 10+ years this has been my ONLY go to pizza establishment and I have plenty of other pizza joints to choose from. It's a cozy mom and pop place. They make one size "smallish" sized pies (slightly larger than a personal pizza) so ordering 2 for 2 people suffices with usually a couple of left over pieces for lunch the next day. As their name suggests it is a wood fired pizza oven that takes centre stage in the shop. I love their margherita with sausage and pizza Bianca. They do excellent hoagies and have anti pasta/deli items and wedding soup. They also bake their own bread which is excellent. John and Linda are behind this family run business so ditch the chain pizza stores and give them a try. Pick up only and cash only. Yum! read more

This is very high quality homemade pizza. I got the margherita pizza and also tried two slices of the marinara pizza. The marinara is quite a basic pizza, simple yet tasty. It is made of simply cheese and tomato sauce. My margherita pizza was awesome! It is around 12" which is enough for 1-2 people. It's similar to a Neapolitan style pie, but a little bit thicker. The dough is pretty soft, not too crispy, but also had a nice char on the bottom. You can see the man making the pizza in the tiny restaurant, so you know it's made by hand! Margherita also had basil, nice chunks of mozzarella, tomato chunks (whole tomatoes!) and some sort of spice which was pretty unique. And the price was only $11. I did try to order their raisin bread along with my pie, but they were out of it. However, I would try it the next time I visit. The downside is that they don't deliver and it's cash only. But, this place is worth the drive if you live locally. It's a nice home style pizza place serving pretty cheap Neapolitan-esque pizzas. read more

There isn't better pizza ... this is real pizza not like normal pizza u get from your local pizza shop with canned sauce and crappy cheese.. Simple fresh ingredients and not over loaded just like u get in Italy ... read more

Always wondered what this place was like and finally decided to stop in. We ordered the Bianco and Marinara with mushrooms, sausage and pep and we really loved it! Pizzas were great! We also bought pasta salad and marinated mushrooms from the deli case and they were both delicious too. We will be back for sure! Don't forget some cash, no credit cards accepted. read more

Heard so much about this place and I love pizza, so I had to try it. First, it's cash only/take out only, so we went in, ordered, atm, picked it up, and ate at a local cider house. We got a white and a red. They were both decent. I prefer a sourdough crust. They don't compete with Driftwood or Taglio, so I don't think I will return. read more

We used to enjoy this place! 2 Pizzas today, both completely raw dough... disgusting, the 3 of us were repulsed. Additionally meat toppings missing that were paid for. My dad older now, guess they saw him coming, easy mark...Never Again, Just say no to Raw Dough. Please someone teach them Quality Control. YOUR ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR WORST PIZZA!!! read more

I had heard about this place for years but only just now got to try it. We only eat pizza from locally-owned shops. What a disappointment after the hype. The crust was burnt black on top but the bottom was barely cooked. It's so thin it should have had a good crispness but it was soft as though it had only been warmed through. The rest of the pizza was very, very salty and the cook had an extremely heavy hand with the black pepper. The flavor of the sauce and cheese were completely over-powered by the heavy salt and pepper. That's all I could, and still can, taste hours later. The only good thing I can say is that it wasn't dripping grease like another over-hyped east end pizza. There are far better pizza places than this one. read more

Wood. Fired. Pizza. Just those three words together make my mouth water! Frankstown Wood Fired Pizza is a very small take-out pizza place located in between Plum and Penn Hills. It's a very small white building next to an auto parts store. We've ordered pizza's here before and found that it's best to order by phone and pick up since this place is always busy. Also, this store doesn't have anywhere to sit! Pizza's are 12" (6 slices) with the best price in town -- $7 plus $1 for toppings -- coming out of a wood fired oven with a little bit of smoked flavor and char. Toppings are fresh with an ample amount of melted cheese -- doesn't that just make your mouth water? I'd give this pizza place another star if there were seating for eat-in, a restroom for customers, and an atmosphere to match. The store also offers stuffed peppers, hoagies, Italian Ice and deli selections. Call (412) 793-7775 to place your order for pickup! read more

Great tasting pizza! Homemade fresh mozzarella made on site. Only gripe is the pizzas to me are more on the personal side opposed to large enough to share. Otherwise I love it! read more

Good value for the price. Good service. Sometimes the crust is too charred to my taste. Overall the pizza is good. Small venue so I usually take out my order. read more

What if Vincent's Pizza Park made a thin crust fire oven pizza? No need to wonder anymore. Somewhat thick dough but crispy on the bottom. Stacked with quality toppings and sausage that taste exactly like Vincent's (Labriola?) This is no doubt the best pizza in Pittsburgh and one of the best deals for gourmet pizza. read more

Very good! I will definitely be back. Walked in and ordered four pizzas. They were done in about 20 minutes. We watched them being made -- simple ingredients, good technique, delicious product. Nice price point as well. I'll probably call ahead next time since there isn't a large waiting area. read more

Excellent pizza from a cozy little shop. I got the pizza margherita with olives and pepperoni and my wife got the pizza bianco with olives and sausage. Dough is just the right blend of chewy with a crispy crusty edge. Tomato sauce is fresh and cheese is very good as well. Good toppings. I live 10 minutes away and I will be going back many more times. Looking to trying more of the salads, the hoagies, and loaves of fresh made Italian bread! read more

Got a pepperoni pizza well done. I think they're 14 inch but im not sure. It was out of this world. The dough is something special and had some nice char from the wood fire oven but wasn't burnt. This is the best pizza I've had in Pittsburgh that isn't Neapolitan style. The price is very reasonable as well. No $30 freaking pizza here. Nice people who run the place too. Seems to be family owned , but im just guessing. Love this place. Ill be going back often. read more

Loved the Margarita Pizza. The crust was delicious and the topping were excellent. My daughter ordered a Bianco and was a bit overwhelmed with the amount if spinach and tomatoes but I enjoyed it. read more

Ordered the roast beef sandwich with tiger sauce. It was INCREDIBLE, literally will be back a lot for that! I finished it too quickly before I could get a pic. Also, their homemade macaroni salad is my favorite. A quart to-go is a perfect side to also enjoy the next day. Such friendly staff, as well! read more

What an incredible experience I just had at Frankstown Pizza. I was doing business in the area and dropped in just looking for a quick dinner and ended up spending a couple hours there chatting with the owner's iPod this family run authentic business. I just had the best wood fired brick oven pizza I've had in a very long time and topped it off with delicious made fresh Italian Ice. The pizza crust was tasty, Smokey and a little chewy like a good crust should be. I ordered the margarita sauce was so fresh and flavorful with big chunks of sweet tomatoes and basil. My sausage was locally made and they make their own mozzarella cheese! They use fresh mushrooms and onions of course. But, Wow! Who goes to that much trouble anymore? They make everything from scratch and they sell fresh made sauces, pasta and more to take home!! My cherry and lemon Italian Ice was exploding with fresh fruit flavor not artificial flavorings. Thanks guys! I'm a big fan and I'll be back! read more

Great pie in city where that's a rarity. One of the 2 places in Pitt I look forward to when I'm craving pizza.

I called in an order for a large pizza, but after picking it up, I was surprised at its size and taste. It was more of a medium-sized pie that a large one. Although I was told that it would be six slices, I expected a larger pizza. I also had to use the ATM because they did not accept cards - fair enough. When I brought the pie home, the crust was chewy and didn't have that brick oven feel like I had hoped. It almost tasted as if the dough was not freshly made. The flavors were not that exciting either. It tasted pretty bland and mediocre. I ordered the pizza for my niece, nephew and me. None of us finished our first slice and I ended up throwing the rest away. I do want to mention that the people who work there are very friendly and the service was very good. However, since I did not enjoy the pizza, I will not return. read more

One of my favorite places! I love the white pizza the most with their homemade sausage. They are never stingy with their basil or any of their toppings. I have clients that drive from all over to get this now since I send them from my business across the street. The place is as tiny as can be. He built that brick oven by hand! A true labor of love. Their lasagna, mmmmmm. Pick up your pizza or hoagies and get a few items from the deli case for your lunch for the week and you are covered. All their food is made with a little love too! read more

Yummy real wood fire Oven Pizza. Their house made mozzarella is fantastical as well! Must try.

I absolutely LOVE this pizza - I honestly am not even that big on Pizza in general, but something about this keeps me wanting it. It's not greasy, it's fresh, its crispy, its amazing. I tell everyone about it because it's the best pizza I've ever had in my life. read more

This was the third time I ordered from here. My favorite type of pizza is the pizza Bianco. It was excellent. The pizza with a great blend of feta and mozzarella cheeses, fresh tomato and spinach. This is my first time ordering the meatball hoagie and I am very impressed. The bread is fresh and doesn't fall apart when you eat while the sauce is sweet and the meatball is seasoned well and smooth. No weird textures everything is just as you would want it to be in a meatball hoagie. The hoagie is toasted nicely as well too. If anyone is looking for a new place for takeout I would definitely recommend here. read more

I read about this place in the City Paper and decided to give it a try. It was delicious! Is a small deli where you can tell everything is made by hand and with care... The pizza was hot and delicious and somewhere in between a Roman style pizza and a Pittsburgh pizza. In my opinion: one of the best pizzas I've had here in the Burg! I would definitely go give it a try. There's a couple of picnic tables out front on frankstown road that you can sit at if you wanted to eat there, but it's really a to go place. Don't let that stop you though -- eat it in the car if you have to! I will definitely be back. read more

A take out restaurant that is cash only. Really unimpressive looking exterior. But the food is awesome and the prices are great. Wow had their Italian hoagie special last week. The bread was amazing. Just had a pizza bianco and it was really great. I was going to post a picture be we started into it too quick. My wife thinks it's the best pizza she ever had. Will be back there next week again for more. read more

I just discovered this place, and will be sure to return! They have a basic menus, but their food is far from it! I got the Marinara and Bianca pizzas, and they were delicious. As you walk inside, you're greeted by smiles, then you see a huge cooler with all sorts of Mediterranean items (olives, pasta salad, vegetables, etc). Next time I'll be sure to give those a try! read more

Great pizza! friendly family owned. Hogies are awesome with there own special sauce. I'm a regular now!
