Francisco's Pizzeria

This pizza place doesn't get much action compared to Top China and the wing place. That's a shame. MY FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Will be 5 STAR once I've tried more of their food. [[See *** below for review of the FOOD]] When I was there, two 20+ yr olds came in to ask if the pizzeria had WINGS! Seriously?! They do...BTW. But everyone has wings....even sushi places! Lol. Anyway, the 20's left confused by the pricey add-on costs for pizza with WINGS. But wings are crazy expensive everywhere.
Francisco's is hurt by confusing pricing and signage, though. Example: if the Wordperfect printout on the door with their specials just read "TWO- 2 topping pizzas + 2 Liter soda".... instead of "2 2 topping....."- OR had simple pizza shapes (2 circle pizzas) + a big soda shape, that would clue people in on a great special. Folks looking for shopping plaza EATS aren't using our full brains. We just want our office b-day party, game day, chill at the house comfort food. Make things EASY and (relatively) CHEAP.

***I got two 14in pizzas and a 2 liter drink for a little over $17 after tax! 2 toppings each. Cheese is automatic, so doesn't count as a topping. Great bargain!
The pizzas were delicious! Their pizza sauce is on the sweet side (not savory tomato-ey). I prefer the sweeter red sauces, so great for me. But adjust your toppings to more salty or savory/spices or you'll get a sweet overload- as I did with the delicious sausage and onion combo I choice for one pizza. My pepperoni mushroom was balanced. It took about 23 minutes total for both. Service was very good. They were very nice to me and I sat inside watching Chicago PD while my pizzas baked. This special could feed a small office lunch party or family dinner of 4-5 people.
