If you have a taste for pizza you have to come here on a Saturday. They have an amazing special on the specialty pizza of the week pizza slices. It is $2.99 a slice before tax what a deal. The slices are as huge as a plate (as big as your head) this week it was the Reuben pizza slice I was happy about that because I cannot have tomatoes and this one doesn't have any tomatoes yippee. We were playing the large size checkers game while we were waiting... They also have the normal size Jenga, and tic-tac-toe. We will definitely be back! read more

Came in for lunch thinking this would be a quick in-and-out spot... nope. Ended up spending just under 2 hours there. We ordered the Italian beef, pizza slice, potato wedges, and Sunday cheese stick. It was pretty obvious they were understaffed, and the place felt disorganized and messy. The highlights were definitely the potato wedges and cheese stick--both were really good. The Italian beef had good flavor thanks to the spicy giardiniera, but it came out lukewarm, like it has been sitting out. The pizza slice was just okay. Giving it 1 star mainly for the wedges and cheese sticks but definitely not worth the wait. read more

I haven't been to Fratos in a while so I decided to order a few pizzas on a Friday night. I have a BOGO Free Specialty pizza so decided to try their Big and Meaty and I'm Fat Pizza. Ordering on their website is cumbersome but for a free pizza,I put up with it .lol The Big and Meaty was loaded with Applewood Smoked Bacon, Canadian Bacon,Fratos Specialty Sausage,and aged Pepperoni. Lots of flavor but lacking enough sauce in my opinion. The I'm Fat Pizza with BBQ Pulled Pork was layered with Whiskey BBQ Mac and Cheese. This pizza is a collaboration with the I'm Fat Podcast. Absolutely delicious but again could have used more sauce. Their pizzas are unique and very flavorful. Check out their website as they also offer some great burger combinations along with wings and other appetizers. read more

This was my first time and last time at Frato's. From service to food this place is negative 5 stars.

Amazing service from the crew! And great food. We had a great time with fam and friends. Fun little pizza place! Must try read more

Place sucks. Food is trash and so is their mozz sticks. Hamburgers are dry and it's more of a front for slots. Stay away

Website states pizza slice deals are available for $5 with drink! $3 per slice on Saturday! But when I went during lunch Saturday they said it'll take 45 minutes to get a slice! There was no deal either! read more

We have been searching for a good Gyros near us. THIS IS IT!!! Forget Brandys. Overpriced and average. Forget Little Greek. Used to be ok. It's not even run by Greeks anymore Qp is good for their chicken, but the gyros is meh. FRATOS meat was cooked on the grill after being shaved for just a minute, adding to the texture and flavor. And it was PLENTIFUL! Pita was also grilled just long enough to make it warm and not taste doughy. Tzatziki was flavorful and fresh but not too garlicky or cucumbery. Perfect balance. Last minute I ordered the mac and cheese. Ooey-gooey delicious! When I came home I added a little diced jalapeño. AMAZING. We have FINALLY found our new gyros go to! read more

WHAT AN AMAZING HANGOUT RESTAURANT! The food was HUGE. We are big backs! But THIS we had trouble finishing. Wanted to get the 13" mozzarella sticks but found out they were only on Sundays. Tried their regular mozzarella sticks and omg they were still huge! Almost choked on one but man that cheese pull satisfying! They weren't too dough-y, not too cheesy, and the crunch was perfect. Their pizza slices were big as my head and trust, I got a cinema sized forehead, that's how big their slices are. The service was truly something. They were helpful, inviting, kind, funny. Honestly if they weren't working we would've invited them to hang with us, respectfully of course. If this amount of glazing wasn't enough, the place was so fun to just hangout, play some of their table games, and chat. I will definitely come back. read more

Lack luster food, service, and casino dark ambiance for a high price Food sounds really good and special but the execution is just not there. I had the special slice of the day, it's 1 lb, sure but it's mostly crust My friend had a burger, my tiny cup was the same size as the burger and it was not cheap Friend had a salmon bowl, it's salmon you use for a salmon burger, not whole salmon Other friend had a chicken bowl, that one was actually good looking and tender, the only one of us that said we would order the same thing again. I recommend you pass and look for some other family place that is cheaper and isn't super dark inside and has better food read more

I love Frato's, it's a neighborhood place that's always good. I hosted a Sip n' Paint with a couple of my girlies and we ordered some Frato's and everyone loved it. We ordered their Schaumburg pizza which is my fave SO GOOD, also a half pepperoni half sausage, as well as chicken tenders and their giant mozzarella sticks which everyone was so amazed by their size. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant has plenty of indoor seating. They also have slot machines which we played while waiting for our and my friend won $60. You can watch while Jorge makes your pizza which is pretty cool. This is such a neighborhood staple and the staff and owner is always friendly. read more

Ordered catering this week for a medium size corporate lunch. We went with their Irish lunch special & Greek chicken selections. The ordering process was super easy and professional. I worked with Alex Aguilar, he helped with suggested quantities and offered great solutions to dietary options. The delivery was perfectly on the minute, and thoughtfully packed up to maintain the quality of the food. Even so far as to send an email notification when our order left the location so I could be on the lookout for its arrival. The food was very tasty and the portions were excellent! Many compliments were given from my group. I purposely look to support local/small businesses and would not hesitate to have them cater another meeting in the future. Thank you Alex and Team! read more

I never reviewed Frato's?! What is wrong with me? We don't make it that often, because the food is a touch unique which suits my wife and and the kids well, but the in-laws not so much. But the burgers here are something special. Gourmet IMO. And you can get them with a patty that is 50% ground bacon. LOTS of flavor, and all the special burgers they have stacks on top of that. An order of fries is like 3 potatoes cut into wedges, fried and seasoned however you want them. The Mozzarella "sticks" have to be seen to be believed. You could use one as a paper weight if you don't mind getting the paper greasy. Plus they have hot dogs, gyros, 1 lb. slices of pizza that my picky eater loves! Great desserts and shakes. Cheesecake brownie... phew. I gotta stop. Getting too excited. The guys working here are pleasant and the place is clean. They added some gaming at one end which may appeal to you. It's not obtrusive if not though. I'm looking forward to going back already. A braised mushroom cheeseburger is calling my name! read more

Took almost an hour for our food. Order was wrong. Simple orders of burgers, grilled cheese and chicken and rice. Chicken was burnt, rice was undercooked. Parm garlic bites were cold and oily. Tables were dirty. Heard good things about this place but left very disappointed. read more

All of the food here is really good and staff was friendly! I'd definitely recrecommend it!

saw this place on a Tic tok video. It looked amazing. I ordered a small pizza well done. I was impressed that they had RC cola so it started off right. When the pizza came it was barely done, and not well done as requested. Here's the kicker. No plates, or silverware. Just napkins and when I went to the counter I found a tiny baby plastic fork. I literally had to eat my pizza off the napkin with a plastic fork. I used the men's room and found the door greasy and dirty. I am kind of a clean guy from being a firefighter for 33 years and that can easily be cleaned off. Pizza was just average, nothing special. Probably won't go back as there is a lot of competition for great customer service and this was not it. read more

The food was excellent! Our Uber Eats driver missed half of our order, but when I called the restaurant, they took care of it, no problem! Not only did they replace the missing food, they threw in an extra brownie and delivered the food themselves!! That's a class act, they have definitely earned my business. Amazing mozzarella sticks! read more

Mac and Cheese Burger: awesome double burger. Won't leave hungry Fries: hot and fresh wedges Oreo milkshake: good as you'd expect Mozzarella Logs: crispy 1 pound pizza: got the daily special which was a western slice? It was different. Good all the same Brownie: thing was awesome. Very rich. Almost like fudge. read more

Stop by frato's it's been a while so I checked it out and we got three 1lb slices of pizza and the guys there where super nice and great service. They made fresh slices. The pepperoni slice was fresh and good I was lacking a flavor I don't know what but it was good. I also had a 1lb sausage slice and it was good but again it's lacking a flavor but it's good especially the crust. We had 5 of the logs and we where excited because they are huge. They are good I think the dough or breading is missing salt or something but it might just be me so keep doing this great job. They have RC drinking products and they have a lot of desserts. The brownie milkshake was super good. I like how they have music going and then it goes to a commercial break and it's frato's sponsoring its dessert. That's awesome. I will be back read more

The pizza was old or atleast I hope if there pizza is this bad fresh I'd be scared. I see pictures that look good but you can see my pizza is old as he!! I only got 2 bites then through it away. I honestly prefer sams club pizza. Giant mozzarella stick was good. Also your expected to clean your own tables according to manager. If I'm gonna clean table atleast cook me new slice. read more

I went to Frato's yesterday to interview a band. I asked if they could turn down the music in the restaurant, and they were very nice and understanding and immediately said they could turn it off for us. I really appreciated that because I don't know if any other restaurant would've done that for us, and it's important to be able to hear everyone in the interview without too much background noise. The interview turned out great; no one bothered us or anything like that. AND their pizza was really good too! It was also a comfortable temperature in there, not too cold or too hot. and outside it was like 80-something degrees, so I appreciated that we weren't sweating in there. I also liked the retro red chairs and checkerboard pattern on the floor. I would definitely recommend this place! :) read more

** People that don't eat pork beware** If I could rate this zero stars I would. Ordered a Mac and cheese pizza and went to the restaurant to pick it up. Upon arrival the pizza was not even started but the guy behind the counter made it right with extra moz sticks and a piece of brownie. I got the pizza and understood shit happens and went home. When I got home I opened the pizza and it was wrong. I ordered a Mac and cheese pizza and got an adult mac and cheese pizza. At least this is what the dude said after I called once I got home. The difference between the two was the adult one had bacon. Our family does not eat bacon. The person that I spoke to on the phone said they would do $50 credit and they might refund once they talk to the manager tomorrow 03/17. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Also being told to keep the pizza and they would credit my account is unprofessional, don't assume what people can and can't eat. read more

Really like it here, it's 50/50 though. They have a good burger but that is really all I would get here. Their burger though is one of the best around and it is priced very well.

Zero stars 2 burgers no sides for $35 and I don't even get all the ingredients I paid for??!! Ordered 2 of the " specials" burgers hardly had ANY topping for $15 a piece with no sides !! 25 minute wait for 2 special burgers with hardly any toppings if you are charging $15 per burger I EXPECT a premium burger not this garbage!! STAY AWAY the biggest rip off I had in a looong time they need to go out of business read more

Frato's is just outside our normal "pandemic pickup zone" but yesterday looking for something different and decided to give it a try. The burger, grilled cheese gyro and shakes were all good and would have them again if they were in the neighborhood but not so good they were wort the ride. Probably 3-1/2 stars. However the "prime rib steak bites were soooo not worth it. Small order, tiny pieces and seriously overcooked. As you can see by the 2 photos my little well done bits of overcooked dry toss beef bore no resemblance to the pic they published. read more

I don't care much for their pizza. However, their gyros, salad, mozzarella sticks, fries, shakes, are all things I've had and been fairly happy with considering it's a small pizzeria. The staff is super friendly and it's a nice hidden gem in schaumburg. read more

Great food and halal options. They are a culinary kitchen so they are kinda fancy with the food. The service is also pretty good too! Would recommend the tenders on Thursdays read more

After being a regular here for 8 years (wow, how does that time fly so quickly?), I can safely say that yes there has been lots of change in that time, but I am continuously happy & satisfied with anything I've ever gotten from them. Their customer service is definitely what stands out the most to me, but after seeing some of their reviews, I'm so confused. Everyone always says hi to me, treat my kids like THEY'RE family, and I'm always asked how my food is. Pre-pandemic times, sitting there eating with my family, if the kitchen is slow, the chefs come out and talk to everyone at my table(s) to check in on us.. During these very difficult times of take out only, I've continued to be treated in the same respectful manner, just via phone. The menu has changed, and sure some prices have gone up... but again, given the state of these very challenging times, raising prices is kind of to be expected isn't it? Our favorite item on the regular menu is still thin crust pizza with sausage, onions, & green peppers. Their pizza sauce is so addicting (what's in it guys?? What is it?!) and the crust is perfectly crispy without being cracker-thin dry. We obviously also love the mozzarella sticks since they're basically the size of a baby's head (I have mental proof of this, but no physical proof. For now)! They have a rotating burger menu, and I've missed a couple of the featured items over the past year but the few that I have had a chance to pick up were so good! They're definitely better fresh, so for those who have had issues with delivery, it's def gotta be taken into consideration how long it takes third-party vendors to get your meal to you! I wish Yelp could somehow filter or set up a warning that DD/GH aren't affiliated with these small businesses and that if there's an issue with delivery or ordering through those websites, it shouldn't hurt the businesses directly. read more

10/10 - it does not get better than this. I got their GIANT mozzarella sticks and oh man they were definitely giant and absolutely amazing. It's awesome that you get 5 of these, where normally a restaurant only gives five normal sized ones. We tried their burger of the month - this one was for Cinco de Mayo. Woah, it was perfect. It was a burger with pico de gallo, avocado, pepper jack cheese, grilled peppers, and chipotle aioli. I finished it in only a few minutes because I didn't want to put it down! We also tried out their pizza. With their name being Frato's Pizza, I had high expectations.... and they were met! The dough was definitely rolled that morning, it was a perfect thickness. It had great toppings AND it supported Elk Grove schools. Does it get any better? I'd recommend Fratos to anyone. Not only is their story fantastic, I love that they work to help out local areas and take in kids who are interested in culinary school BUT their staff was incredibly sweet. They were really trying to make sure I had the best experience possible and I really appreciated it. read more

Great food and service love the online specials never a wait to order can't say enough about the place

What do you after a 10 mile bike ride? You go to Frato's to binge eat and negate all your hard work! At least that's what my buddy and I did. I was first introduced to the goodness that is Frato's in reviews from my friends Candice G. and Pari P. Then the stars aligned and a Yelp event took place here. Shima C. was my plus one and has been dying to go back since the event! Finally her time came this past Sunday. Before going we both looked over the menu and it's completely overwhelming. There are so many delicious choices and we both have an issue with ordering everything we want even if we can't actually eat it all. I always say my eyes are bigger than my belly. I ordered the Pizza Special which is a phenomenal deal - $4.99 for a slice of their specialty pizza and a drink. Now when I say a slice, I use the term loosely because truly it's a huge honkin' gigantic quarter of a pizza! The piece alone could give me lunch & dinner...but I was ravenous and gobbled it down! The special changes every day but on Sunday it was Broccoli and Cheese and so friggin yummy. I also ordered a Breakfast Burger to go so I could eat that for dinner. The burger is $7.50 with egg, bacon and cheese on a cheddar bagel. I didn't read the bagel part so when I opened it up I was like HOLY JEEBUS! This is amazing. And the great thing? It tasted even better than it looked. Oh yesh, I would get it again in a second. Now my tiny, drop dead gorgeous friend ordered twice her body weight in food and was kind enough to share the goods with me to taste. She ordered 6 jumbo boneless wings, large basket of parmesan truffle fries and a full size Vegetarian Goat specialty pizza (which she first tried at the event and loved) and she was THIS close to ordering herself a pizza puff to top it all off. And yes, we both got ice cream for dessert. Stop judging us! The wangs were some of the best I've ever had! So juicy and the various flavors are da bomb. Parmesan garlic was my absolute favorite! The parmesan truffle fries were not too truffley and had there not been a mention of truffle I would have loved them. However, they left something to be desired due to the lack of truffle flavor. Their gourmet ice cream is amazing! I loved the Tahitian vanilla...so rich and flavorful. It's so hard to pick what my favorite thing about Frato's is. Is it their extensive craft beer list? Is it the fact that they have constantly changing burgers of the week and constantly changing daily specialty pizzas? Or is it the amazing price I can try those specialty pizzas at? Is it because they have giant TVs I can watch games on while chilling out in a super relaxed environment in a comfy old school booth? Perhaps it's that jolly chef who I met at the Elite event who won my heart when he told me I looked 17. Or maybe it's just that their food is friggin good! Hard to pick. I was really happy to see Frato's have a few other tables sat on a Sunday about 130pm. This is such a great establishment - I'm now determined to make going here a regular thing...and bring some coworkers, too! Pro-Tip: Yelp check-in offer gives you 10% off! Edit:7/21- Phill C. and I told our company all about how great Frato's is and convinced our company to try them for our Friday Beer O Clock a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy to say our coworkers loved Frato's as much as we do and it's now added into our Beer O Clock rotation.I know that this past Friday they gave us a free order of Smores even though we were a bit under their $200 requirement. Thanks, Frato's! Our whole office was grateful! Since getting this delivery, I was able to try their pizza puffs and Smores Puffs - both are great. Loved the pizza puffs and the smores puffs are such a decadent dessert, reminds me of a rich donut. Plus everyone loved the Seasonal Caprese Salad - I think they would have liked it a bit more if their weren't tomatoes...they thought it was strange to have in a fruit salad. Then this caused a big discussion of whether tomatoes are truly a fruit or veggie. :P read more

Ordered delivery through Ubereats. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and the Buffalo Chicken Salad. First off my son and I LOVED the mozzarella sticks. They were hot, tasty, and the cheese pull was awesome. The salad was really good! I greatly enjoyed it. Fresh veggies and the chicken was delicious. We will definitely be ordering again. I especially love that Frato's gives culinary students a chance to work and learn. Really impressed me. read more
