We went to Fricano's for the first time in years, and it was pretty much exactly as I remember it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Definitely has the old-school pizza spot vibes. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy, so service was as expected for a busy server. We had the cheese pizza and the EBA- the sauce on the pizza is phenomenal! I would definitely bake it a little longer myself, but I know a lot of people like that style. We also took home some half-baked pizzas so we could crisp them up as much as we want at home :) Also had to get a cannoli before I left- it was fantastic! read more

No frills thin crust pizza joint with super friendly staff and a vibe that feels Goodfellas esque. Very cool place.

Don't mind the mediocre reviews. This is THE pizza spot in Michigan. I tried Arcane and 2 sons which I immediately put on my top 5 best pizzas I've ever had, but I will literally withdraw from this place. I am hooked after 1 encounter with the EBA pie. Absolutely my type of pizza and I'll be going back tomorrow for another. Please do not let the looks or ambiance of the place deter you, (old school). if you like quality ingredients, and a thin style pizza, this is IT. If you like pizza at all this is IT. I found my unicorn pizza place. All smiles and awesome service as well. Fricanos is just a masterpiece of an experience-coming from a completely random dude in town for work reasons. I will make the drive back here for the pies, but I'll be taking a lot back home with me. read more

A cult favorite, still my favorite pizza around. Service is always great, pizza is always great.

if you want a really good pizza and something way different than some fast food pizza go here is a reasonable service is great and the Pizza are off the charts wonderful read more

My husband decided to go to this restaurant tonight for dinner, because there was a band and a car show. We'd never been to this place before. It was a great car show...the dinner, not so much. First off, to be fair, the place was very crowded...we were happy to find a clean table. It was clear that is was very understaffed. I think we saw MAYBE 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant, including outside. We got our drinks and the waitress came to take our order pretty quickly for how busy it was. Their menu is VERY limited. You have a choice of pizza, some sub sandwiches and spaghetti and meatballs and 2 salads. I was going to order pizza, (ONLY comes in 12", thin crust), and my husband wanted the spaghetti. We placed our order, only to be told that they don't serve spaghetti on Tuesdays. Nowhere on the menu does it say that. Ok, so we will share this pizza (I was going to eat 2 pieces and take the rest home, originally). So, we place our pizza order and wait, and wait, and wait. After about 35 min., my husband asks the waitress, who never once stopped by our table until he called her over, how much longer did she think our pizza would be. After all it is a 12", thin crust....I have to say, she was pretty rude. She basically said that they were very busy, and she didn't have any control over how long it was going to take. Her tone was very nasty. She said, as she was walking away that she would check. After that, she passed by our table numerous times, not acknowledging us once. Clearly she didn't check on our order. Just as we were talking about paying for our drinks and cancelling, our pizza finally arrived. In total, it was about a 45 minute wait. To call this pizza, "thin crust", is to do a disservice to thin crust pizzas. I think they may have thrown some flour on a wet pizza stone, topped it with sparse toppings, and threw it in the oven. It was barely a crust. We ate it because we were super hungry at this point. The waitress dropped off our bill, and said a brief, "Thanks", as she walked away. I get it that they were clearly understaffed, and I am sure she was tired, but that is NO excuse for an attitude to your customers. We normally tip pretty well....today was not one of those days. We will NEVER go back to that place. I would have given -0- stars if that was an option. read more

This was a huge disappointment. Voted best pizza in MI? I almost want to go back to see if someone new was cooking? We ordered 3 completely different pizzas, and they all tasted exactly the same - flavorless. It was so odd. We sat there flabbergasted. 4 adults and 2 kids and we were all shocked. read more

Fricano's and Tuesday Night Cruise Nights! Alright you guys. We've got a SWEET spot to show ya! Fricano's is 100% a crowd favorite. They serve up amazing thin crust pizzas! Their pizza is one of the most famous in Michigan and is simply a classic. I can remember visiting Fricano's all the time growing up and it really is a family event! And you won't be disappointed at all at what their menu has to offer! Love all kinds of meats on your pizza? A variety of veggies? How about some pineapple? (Shoutout to all the pineapple pizza lovers ) Fricano's has it ALL! In Comstock Park, Fricano's adds even more flare to their restaurant by hosting "Cruise Nights" What exactly are Cruise Nights you might ask? Cruise Nights are for showing off the classic cars in the area and it is so cool!! So many cars show up and it's amazing to walk through and look at the years of the cars, some dating back to the early 1900's, and notice the different styles! Not only is it amazing to look at all the classic cars, but it also shows a sense of community in the area which is just as cool to witness! read more

Crust is one of a kind and awesomely good! Thin and crispy one size only. Toppings are uniquely sourced and sooo good!

Sadly I was looking forward to liking this place. I'm a thin crust fan but this was just bad. Paper thin, someone put pizza spice all over it, the Parmesan cheese is in their pie somewhere. It was so over spiced and Parmesan was way to much. Cooked correct just a sad frozen over spiced Jacks pizza. Maybe it was the guy running the ovens tonight but it was horrific. Had to stop at arbys and drink a shake to rid that taste. Threw out leftovers. Sorry to write this guys. Pictures are deceiving read more

The pizza was not good. I am all for thin crust, but the crust on this pizza was soggy and not crisp. The marinara sauce must have come out of a jar because it did not taste fresh. This is my first time eating here and I will not be back again. read more

Fricano's Pizza was as great as ever...Grand Haven, Muskegon and Alpine Ave. Fricano's pizzas in all locations are great!

Worst pizza I've ever had and extremely pricey for the thinnest paper crust. I'm all about supporting small businesses, but this one missed the mark. I even got food poisoning afterwards, it was that bad. They only have ONE waitress running around and serving guests, while there's multiple employees in the back just standing around. The only edible item was the oatmeal cookies at the counter. read more

I love Fricanos Pizza. Plain and simple. I also am a guy who favors a thin crust pie as opposed to a deeper dish style, making Fricanos right up my alley. The pizza is nice and crispy with limited bread to get in the way of the quality ingredients. I like how easy to eat the pizza is and how unique the flavor is. Italian seasoning and garlic are used well and flavor is well baked into everything they make. Atmosphere is lacking, but if you are going for a great sit down pizza joint, look no further. read more

Imagine the equivalent of a 7/11 hotdog... How these people stay in business is a testament to the lack of a discerning clientele with a functioning palate.

Listen up. If you don't like ultra thin crust pizza with well done edges, you will NOT enjoy this pizza. If you do like a well done thin crust pizza with a little grease, this place is for you. I do not judge a restaurant by their use of paper plates. I care about their food. If paper plates are a deal breaker, move on. This place is no frills. The pizza comes in one size. It's big enough for 2 people to split. If you're really hungry, each person may want to get their own pie. Their menu has pizza, a couple salads and maybe a small spaghetti for your child and nothing else. The limited menu should be your first indication that you need to order ONLY the pizza. The do have a small bar so you can get an adult beverage with your pizza. It looks like there are no refills on soda. If you're not willing to pay for a refill, you should be drinking water. Our service was great. Our pizza was fantastic. I saw the table next to us ordered a salad. It was gigantic and was entree size. No complaints. This was exactly what I expected and the pizza hit the spot. This location takes credit cards. read more

Pizza is the best! Love the thin crust! Some people think it's greasy but that's just the delicious cheese that they use.

During the summer months I always look forward to visiting the original Fricano's Grand Haven location. Although very vintage (GH location doesn't have AC and they don't accept credit cards) they are known for their super thin crust and flavorful pizza. I heard that a new location opened up, and I decided to order a cheese pizza for delivery. The pizza was almost as good as I remember it from Grand Haven. Cheesy, greasy (in the best way) and super thin crispy crust. I wish it had slightly more oregano as the seasoning definitely amplifies the flavor. The pizzas are one size and they offer limited toppings. The crust is so thin I can almost finish an entire pizza myself. Last night I also asked for a small ice cream sundae with my pizza. My Grubhub driver called to notify me that they didn't have any to-go containers for that. A bit unusual, I thought. Basically the pizza is so unique and legendary that's the sole reason why this place is successful. It's an epic thin crust pizza. Is it cost effective? Not exactly. Is it annoying to pay with cash in 2019? Definitely! But is the pizza worth it? I sure think so. read more

Never had a bad pizza from Fricano's in the 20 years we've been going. With their signature cheese and crust you will find nothing like it. Everytime we go, we order a cheese, pepperoni and 2 EBAs, don't forget the Highball wine. It's an Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere. Often times, you'll get to meet the owner Doug as he makes his way through the crowd to meet and chat with customers. Going to Fricano's is a family event for us! read more

Not my favorite pizza. This style pizza is just not for me. I do not like thing crust and this crust is so thin they cut it with scissors!!!! Literally. This is a local cult classic and you either love it or don't ...unfortunately I do not care for it. The service is friendly and prompt the locations are rustic just the pizza is not my style of east coast pizza. read more

So we ordered a large pizza for carryout for dinner from Fricano's. What they did not tell us when we ordered the pizza over the phone was that there is only one size, and it only comes in an ultra thin crust. It really is not that much food, and we were a little bit disappointed upon picking it up. We ordered a mushroom and pepperoni pizza, and it was pretty good. Although we were not expecting the ultra thin crust, it was nice for the most part. My only complaint with this pizza's toppings were that the mushrooms were canned. Overall, the pizza was satisfactory, but we will likely not get pizza from here again. read more

Another nice visit last night! Stopped in around 630 and again, no wait. Grabbed a few tables by the window to push together for a group of 5 adults + one baby. Waitress was over right away to take our drink order. They offer a full bar, but they do not have a huge selection... but enough to appease everyone. Had a Bell's in a bottle- their beer is always SUPER cold. Love it! We did order 2 orders of the meatballs- they are awesome. The meatballs are pretty small and you only get three to an order- so in my opinion.. everyone should get their own order lol They sauce the come in is to die for! I believe they sell it by the jar! The menu is pretty small: but if you are aware of this going in.. you can't be disappointed. There are not a ton of options for a "make your own" pizza, but they do offer some specialty ones- no substitutions! I ordered sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, extra cheese and well done. SO GOOD. The extra cheese does make the pizza a little bit greasy (or a lot of bit...) but, the thin crust is just SO GOOD that it doesn't really bother me. Pizza's come out pretty fast, too! I cant' finish a whole pizza, but my husband can.. so i would call them individual size for perfect for two people. We have never had dessert while here, but I saw cannoli on the menu and I know they have cookies! We don't stop in often, but when we do we are never disappointed! Consistently good thin crust pizza and cold beer. I have heard that THIS location offers more options than the one out in Muskegon... but they are still very limited in their offerings. That is their thing, and I am cool with that. This is NOT the place to go for 100 different toppings and a Chicago style pizza. But, great pizza nonetheless. read more

Food was fine, place was clean and a cute atmosphere, service was terrible. We arrived at 8:10 p.m. and they close at 9 p.m. but I guess that wasn't enough advance time. Server was very rude and 100% annoyed that we were there. I ask to order a salad after we ordered our pizza and she said, well I guess but I will have to make it! No one asked if every thing was okay pretty much on our own. It was just my husband and I. Showing up 50 mins before closing should not of been such a big issue. Mad that we had to pay out over almost $50 to a place that made you feel like they didn't want you there. read more

My favorite pizza in Grand Rapids and possibly the world! I moved away from Grand Rapids and it's one of two places I crave. I was back in GR recently and had to stop for a pizza. They used to just be located in Holland and Grand Haven but now have more locations including the Caledonia spot I visited. It has a great Italian ambience inside. Apparently a brother in the family started the new stores. They only serve one size pizza, a 12in personal size, with really thin crust. The original pizzerias only offered 5 toppings: pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, mushrooms and anchovies. They new restaurants offer more toppings but I still went for the famous EBA (everything but anchovies). The pizza is cheesy and greasy delicious, topped with secret seasoning that they call "bird seed". 12 inches may sound big but it really is a personal size given it is so thin. The new restaurants also offer a full Italian menu, which I did not try. Another option would be for a couple to share a pizza and one entree. I can't imaging going here without getting a pizza. Crave-alicious! read more

Na this place is garbage dawg the only reson I say this not to be bias or anything but I threw up in my toilet after I ate this stuff they said that they are number 1 rated in Michigan but that's cap they ain't even in the top 12 kinda overrated false advertising I came to This place only to clean my plate full of pizzia the only thing I was cleaning was my toilet bowl 1/5 don't recommend read more

When our server said almost immediately that they are the Pizza Nazi I knew right away I was gonna like her! The pizza is very good - and I say this being a fan of a thicker crust usually and theirs is pretty thin. I have tried the roasted garlic basil pizza & the Hawaiian. I would actually prefer chunks of roasted garlic on my pizza but that doesn't seem easy for me to find. Both were fantastic in my opinion! Fricanos offers a few different specialty pizzas or about 5 toppings you can choose from to make your own combo. They do not substitute but will remove items from the specialty pizzas listed. However, they will not make a pizza with anything other than the toppings listed. Yes, this means you cannot choose a topping that isn't on the list even if it can be found on a specialty pizza. The service isn't the fastest but the servers I have had are awesome! I can't wait to go back, I find myself craving their pizza. read more

We went to the new Manistee location for a late lunch and it was one of the worst meals we've had in some time. There isn't much to choose from as the menu is very limited. We ordered an appetizer and greek pizza. The appetizer was supposed to be white bean hummus with roasted garlic, fresh vegetables and warm tortilla bread. It came with none of that. Stale, old tortilla chips and a bland version of some kind of pureed white beans. No flavor at all. The pizza wasn't much better. It was missing the feta cheese, tomatoes and kalamata olives. Instead of those it came with mushrooms, which were nothing more than pieces and stems from a can. The crust was soggy and overall no flavor. Other than the Chef Boyardee pizza sauce. The couple sitting near us were missing the chicken on their salads, asked about it and the waitress said she'd look into it and never came back. When she did she brought the check. They asked again and she said she'd be right back. She came back and told them that the cook was new and that they took the salads off their bill. After seeing this, we decided that complaining to her would do no good. So we choked down our meal and left. I emailed the restaurant with my concerns, not asking for a refund, but expecting some sort of reply. An apology of some sort, but nothing. Apparently they really don't care. I'm reviewing this here because the Manistee location doesn't have a review available, but the ownership here is responsible. read more

How have I not reviewed Fricano's??? Just great pizza. Thin crust. Great people working there. We have been coming here for years even though it is a bit out if the way for us. If we lived closer would probably eat here at least once a week They have spaghetti and meatballs and meatball subs if you don't want pizza That is the menu I am sure the pasta and subs are good but the pizza is so good I have never tried them read more

I lived near the original location (which I loved) in Grand Haven and was excited to have Fricano's again on my business trip. The service was great. But the pizza really disappointed. It was swimming in grease, and the taste was just okay. Limited draft beer. When I started the review, I was at 3 stars and as I reflect back - it's a solid 2. read more

I won't be coming back, I can't see the attraction. It's, more or less, on the corner of no and where. Even from downtown it is not worth the drive. On a recommendation from a friend I came across town, and for what? The menu is vary limited. Pizza, spaghetti with meatballs, subs. That's it. The pizza crust is not hand tossed. You can see them running it though the machine from your table. No refills on drinks. Heck McDonald's has free refills (at the same price). There is no parmesan cheese at the table. The cheese is clearly just the GFS answer to kraft, so I it can't be more expensive then what everyone else uses. I have never been to another Italian restaurant without Parmesan cheese on the table. It wasn't just a mistake, I asked, they won't bring it out. The meatballs tasted like they are also GFS, not home made. The Edge of the pizza crust was burned, and it was greasy. Let's call this place what it is. This is dive bar with delusions of being a restaurant. I know better dive bars that are closer. read more
