To sum this place up, food is good, but as my friend asked me before i went "are you hungry" and when i said no, he said "good"...lol Apps very good, pizza excellent, and drinks were ok.One caveat which I love, but for anyone reading needs to know is plates are very small. I need to disclose that for anyone reading. I don't know if i'd go back to be honest even though food was good. Ambiance and expense make me rather move to a real restaurant for dinner over a pizza place that has three or more equivalents within 10 minutes and is overpriced but solid 4 stars for food. read more

Food service and ambiance is terrific. Staff is very friendly. Music is a nice touch. A Big HOWEVER- Drinks need to be improved. Pours are stingy and cheap. You need to do better in this arena, lots of competition around. read more

I wanted to shout out this place Uncle Franks in Wantagh. Checked it out last night after a long time oj my todo list. If i lived closer i woudl be there all the time, they have a lot of my favorite things. The craft cocktails were really good, creative and tasty. The wine selection offered food options. The house salad was had a delicious dressing and the pizzas were terrific, we had meatball and supresstta (meatball was better). The home made vanilla gelato may be the best i ever had. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I would def return here, if you around the area check them out. They also offer a good happy hour and it has a pretty bar area. They knew it was my wife's bday and since she didn't order dessert they bought he a glass of wine after dinner. read more

Uninspiring. The pizza bread was tasty; delicious dough with Just the right amount of honey to be pleasant, not overly sweet. I ordered the eggplant pizza. The description would have been accurate if the menu explained that the eggplant was a paper thin slice, sparsely laid out on the pie, not seasoned, or roasted. Just cooked as much as It would've taken to cook the pie, maybe a few minutes in the oven. I was hoping for pieces or chunks of seasoned, cooked eggplant, or even better, fried. Honestly the thing uncooked increased slices of eggplant was better left off the pie. While the dough was very good, the sauce was only okay. read more

This review is based on a delivery order. Extremely mediocre and severely overpriced food. And that includes several popular items such as bland arancini, flavorless meatballs and dry wings. Soppressata in the house salad did not taste good at all. And the biggest disappointment - the pizza- was small, burnt on the bottom and simply lacking all the right flavors. Will not be ordering again. read more

Well the meatballs were devoured before I could take the picture. The artichokes were delicate and perfect. The broccolini has a southwest flavor to the sauce which was also a bit spicy. The broccolini was amazingly tender. Kylie our server was so knowledgeable about all the dishes. So polite and personable. A true keeper! The pasta carbonara was done perfectly. The cauliflower pasta was divine The pizzas were cheesy and flavorful We are already planning our next visit! read more

Great thin crust personal pizza choices. Pasta was good too. Loved the house salad. Definitely want to come back, but need to make reservations if you want to sit inside. There is a reason they are packed. Good food and good service. read more

Nice ambiance but run of the mill in every other way.... service lackadaisical, pizza over sauced, soggy, sauce too sweet and skimpy on toppings, especially at $26 for a "meatball" pie that feeds two and meatballs seemed like the kind you buy pre cooked from Costco, place was empty at 7pm on a Tuesday read more

The pro: ambiance is cozy so it's nice. Good vibes overall. The con: literally the food. Bang average maybe even less. For that price?? Hell no lmao. Pizza was alright so definitely stay far away from the pasta dishes. Service was pretty good. Overall, if you're looking for good Italian foods this is not your place. read more

I enjoyed the dinner here. The pizza had a thin, crispy crust and the toppings were fresh. The service was good, though it took some time for the bill to arrive. Overall, worth visiting. read more

Outrageous prices, small portions, uncaring service I learned my lesson to never try a new restaurant without first reading the reviews. Uncle Frank's - what a disappointment! Limited menu: no seafood, no grilled chicken, just chicken cutlet. My wife had a house salad with no protein. Expensive: Eggplant Rollatini - $22. OK, it's pricey, but I'm willing to pay for quality and quantity. Small portions: The dish served was "four finger-sized" Eggplant Rollatini - nothing else. I asked for bread. No bread. I finally demand the manager give me bread and I got it. I was still hungry, I asked for pasta. I got a fist-size bowl of spaghetti - $16. I complained to the manager. She was so uncaring. Perfectly comfortable in saying no, didn't care about the customer experience, and if I didn't come back - fine with her. The manager took 50% off the pasta. We got out of there with a $50 bill. I didn't leave a tip. I looked at the 49 Uncle Frank's reviews in Yelp - 16 reviews, or 33% complained about high prices. Uncle Frank's is maximizing profits by charging high prices and giving very little value. read more

Amazing place. I would recommend the steak as an appetizer and angle hair pasta for main.

I can only speak for the pizza, salad and cocktails- all were great. Yes, expensive, as other reviews have stated. I do think if the prices or portions were adjusted, this place would have closer to 5-stars. If you're going to Mulcahy's and want a great cocktail before the show- come here. read more

Came here for a private party and pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I thought the name of the place was a little cheesy at first (pizza puns aside), but didn't want to pass any judgment till I was able to try the place. And I'm glad I didn't. Turns out the guy that owns Frank's is the same guy who owns one of my other favorite spots in town, Blackbird, so my hopes are now pretty high. Atmosphere is nice, generally a modern bar/bistro style, they didn't opt to lean into the traditional Italian scenery that a lot of places in the area like to do. Good amount of space, but it can fill up quickly when things get busy. Starting with drinks, they have a great selection and I highly recommend "One of the Boys" or "Oak Trees" as far as cocktails go. Both citrusy and on the sweeter side. Also have a good selection of wines and beers from local breweries like Northport and Sand City if mixed drinks aren't your thing. Food was also great. The kale Caesar is fresh and well dressed, crab cakes are light but flavorful, shrimp cocktail is simply done as it should be but the quality of what they use really prevails. But let's get to the namesake, the pizza. I go with the rule of thumb that if you don't do a good plain slice, you aren't gonna do the rest any better, and Frank's has a perfectly good plain. They do a more neapolitan style pizza, which I think is the perfect format for bar style pizza. My favorite pizza was definitely the pepperoni and hot honey though. All great quality ingredients and not greasy at all. For the more formal entrees their vodka sauce and their meatballs rival the quality of my own mother's (don't tell her!). Staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to serve the whole party, never feeling like we were waiting around for anything. Parking can be a little tight in the attached lot, but there is a lot of parking just nearby in the municipal lots or on the street that shouldn't have too much of a problem finding a spot. Would be glad to come back here on my own accord, as Uncle Frank has won my heart and is a VAST improvement from the bar that had been the location prior. read more

Came here on a Friday night and sat at the bar. I was in the mood for something a little different, so I ordered the Cacio e Pepe pie. I didn't know what to expect. Would there be spaghetti on the pie? How can Cacio e Pepe possibly work on pizza? Well, I was so glad I decided to try it. The pizza was awesome and tasted just like the Cacio e Pepe sauce you would get in pasta (and there was no spaghetti on the pie). It actually worked really well and I'll love to go back and try the same dish again. read more

Uncle Frank's - Caccio e Pepe Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Wantagh, New York

Another hit by the owners of Blackbird and Rustic Root. The bar size and set up is the same as Corey's (the bar that was previously at that location) with a more romantic feel. The drinks are on point, delish and presented well. The pizza was fantastic and separated on the menu by red sauce pizza and white pizza. We tried one of each: had the cacio de Pepe and Uncle Frank pies (Uncle Frank is the traditional cheese pie). Decent size pies. We went hungry and ate half of each. A nice meet for a drink or date night place. I wouldn't bring my toddler but I did see high chairs read more

Absolutely amazing food and wine. Meatballs are better than everyone's grandma! Don't miss this place!

I'll start with the good. They participated in LI PIZZA STRONG. That's why we tried this place. Also the pizza is fantastic. Hot and fast. We got the fresh mozzarella one. Two pies was good for three people. Now the not-so-good. The glasses are very very very small. They give free refills on soda ($3) but lemonade, at $5, was in the same small glass and there were no free refills. Come on. Also when I paid, I purposely used debit to avoid the credit processing fee. They charged the fee anyway. I complained and the manager didn't know the difference between debit and credit. I told them I am not going to fight over $1.50 but they need to fix their system to know the difference. Service was mediocre. Nice waiter. Didn't come over fast enough to offer refills, I had to ask about it. And the bus boy wanted to clear the table faster than we could eat. It wasn't busy, I don't know what the rush was. Finally, the ambience. I can't tell if they are a family restaurant or a fancy restaurant. I think they would be more successful if they got rid of the candles, mood lighting, cloth napkins, and "sparking water" and went all-in on family with brighter lights, paper napkins, and bread on the table fresh from the pizza oven. Honestly I missed having bread. Great Italian places have free bread. If the owner is reading this, add bread and fix the debit issue and I'll be happy to return because the pizza was THAT good. read more

service and food were great. Always friendly waiters and waitresses willing to help

Have been to this restaurant 5 times. The food is excellent. However. The first time we were charged and didn't realize for using a credit card. We paid cash. The second time we forgot to tell them to take off the bill and paid again. We paid cash. The third time we remembered and they took off the charge. Tonight we told the server we were paying cash to take the charge off . They must have forgotten and the bill came again with the charge. I ended up getting into an argument with my husband. He didn't want to ask again and I did. Yes its only 4 dollars but not the point. A nice excellent dinner was ruined from arguing. You need to ask before putting this charge on. We planned to make this our weekly go to place but I am very turned off by this small charge. ESPECIALLY WHEN PAYING CASH... read more

Nice cocktails, good pizza but a limited menu and bit overpriced. They have a nice selections of cocktails, and the pizza has a nice pillowy, yet crispy crust. However, $300 for a party of 4 to have pizza, salad and cocktails seems a little over priced to me. read more

Food is mediocre. Save your money please! Apps were over cooked and very dry cold meatballs, dry over crisp wings. Very little verity on menu. And what pizzeria don't serve grilled chicken to add on to their salad???? So it was zero protein with salad. Pizza was good, but not better than any other good neighborhood pizzeria. Waiter was not friendly at all. I mean, you are allowed to smile! What an absolute disappointment and waste of money for a first time customer. read more

Had a lovely dinner at Uncle Franks. Wait staff very attentive. Pizza and pasta both delicious and plentiful Beautifully decorated Thanks, Frank for another successful restaurant read more

I have to say I was pretty surprised for a pizzeria to deliver pasta in a small container it's not the normal size it's only a cup of pasta literally. They didn't even fill up the container halfway. Pasta is cheap maybe I'm used to restaurants giving you the bigger container where I actually have leftovers. For $28 not worth the price and it didn't taste that good. The pizza I will say tastes good but I won't be coming back. There's many other places to go fo read more

We started with cocktails which were delicious. Then proceeded to a salad which I highly recommended then the little neck clams, pizza and pasta! The brick oven pizza is the only way to go! Everything was on point including dessert! Can't wait to go back! read more

My wife and I visited Uncle Frank's for lunch today, the very first time we have been there. WOW! Excellent. The pizza from the wood fired oven was the best I have ever had. The wood fired oven definitely makes a difference. And the smaller size pizza was just perfect for the two of us. And our waitress, super! Katy, was friendly and very efficient and helpful and her smile lit up the room. Uncle Frank is very lucky to have her. And we tried their home-made Tiramisu for desert. Fantastic. Definitely home-made. My wife is normally not a big fan of Tiramisu but she ate half of it. My thanks to Katy and the staff. We WILL be back! Vinny & Terry Ciro Wantagh read more

Had a lovely surprise at lunch today finding this place recommended on Yelp. We had a truly fantastic white pizza with mushrooms and a really excellent Caesar salad. Desserts were the 'cherry on top', a killer tiramisu and Italian cheesecake. The servers were both super friendly and helpful. We will surely be back! read more

Tiny pizzas at huge prices. Ordered pick up. The pizzas were cold and tasteless. They have a huge bar so I guess the pizza, even if mediocre, at least serves to ward off an impending hangover. read more

We went for the first time this weekend. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was great. Civilized! Warm, low lighting and not crazy loud. We had delicious meatballs, pizzas and cocktails at the bar. I would say it is a little pricey but overall loved it. read more

Went here for dinner with a few friends for the first time and will definitely be back. The restaurants has a really nice vibe and the food and drinks were very good. All of the drinks had really fun italian names. I got the Bada bing which is basically an aperol spritz and it was delicious. For food we tried the clams, Arancini balls and Crispy Artichokes. The clams had great flavor but were a little fishy but the arancini balls and artichoke were both amazing. We tried three different pizzas the uncle franks which was a classic favorite, Hot Soppressata, and corn and chorizo. All were very tasty. We also tried two of the desserts can't remember which ones but both were very good. read more

I ordered take out and it came out within 10 minutes. The hostess was super friendly and the pie has such good flavor. Reminds me of nyc pizza where now I won't have to travel to get. Definitely will be back! read more
