Franka Pizzeria

Great drinks and interesting pizza. I got the asparagus pizza - do it! So good!

Had lunch here yesterday; first time at this location. The interior is beautiful and we enjoyed our lunch, but the service wasn’t great. After getting seated, two people came by to take our drink order but after they dropped off our drinks, we didn’t see anyone until someone dropped off our food. Both water and tea glasses sat empty for the last half of our time there. We had to get up to track someone down for our check. I am very understanding when a place is short-staffed, but all servers were standing up at the bar chatting. My three stars reflect service.

All of that said, our sandwiches were delicious but the salt and pepper fries were the star of the show!

I’ll give it another shot, but not a great first impression.

Great new addition to the area! The Neapolitan style pizza was good, crust was really good. Great selection on drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Clean, beautifully designed space. I love the open kitchen with the bar seating right there looking into the action- something you don’t see much of unless you’re in a big city.

Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with the service, from entering the restaurant to leaving. It wasn’t welcoming or attentive, especially for how many employees were working/standing around. We had to get up and ask to place our order after who knows how long we waited. The other downside is it’s not very kid/family-friendly, which is surprising for being in the suburbs and for the handful of other tables in there that had babies and toddlers. As adventurous as our one year old is, there was no kids menu or small bites that would be suitable as a meal.

We will definitely be back because the pizza is so good. I really hope the service will improve and Franka, along with its employees, will be more welcoming to a couple bringing their child along for a nice dinner.

Thank you for bringing a locally-owned restaurant to the area!

Super excited to have this place on the west side of town. High quality unique menu items and brunch! I especially loved the orange seasoned chicken wings. Excellent bar as well with imaginative cocktails. Great addition to Clive!

Delicious wood fire neopolitan style pizza in a modern but still comfortable atmosphere. Flavors are fresh and unique and the crust is perfect. Staff is super friendly and the cocktails were very refreshing. My favorite was the "cicada killer."
