Franny's

My girlfriend and I agree that this is the best pizza in Brooklyn. The ingredients are of extremely high quality, the service is well informed, prompt, but not pushy. Definitely try some of the more unusual combinations on the pizza and take advantage of the special appetizers. Its different from what you may be used to, but go for it---you won't be disappointed. Pros: Brick oven, Fresh ingredients more

Do yourself a favor and order the house-cured fennel sausage. If they have the fried zucchini, get that too! Both are magnificent. The fontina and egg pizza was interesting, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Contrary to the previous poster's experience, we didn't find the waitstaff too pushy at all. In fact, they were wonderful and quite professional. At around $15 a pie (which serves one), this isn't cheap pizza, but it's high quality. The garden seating area in the back is beautiful and serene, but sadly, you can't order food there. You can only get drinks and dessert. Overall, Franny's is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Pros: Quality ingredients, Cheerful waitstaff Cons: , Cramped seating more

was very excited about new place in the neighborhood, but we don't need more like this. the pizza, while fresh, was completely bland and the crust was also not memorable. waitstaff is way too in your face and its pretty darn pricey. create a better, zesty sauce, calm the waiters, and it may get better. more

The Sugar Sanp Pea appetiser was phenomenal! The Spinach and Ricotta gnocci was literally the best gnocci I had ever eaten by a large margin. I cannot say enough about my new neighborhood favorite. Perhaps the waitstaff is a bit overzealous, but that's better than inattentive I suppose. more

A glass of wine for each of us (decent), shared appetizer (snow peas, excellent), individual pizzas (just ok, and really, less filling than two slices at your local slice joint, not *nearly* as good as John's or Totonno's), a shared dessert (good but rather small), and the bill... over 70 bucks! Just not worth it. I guess you need to remind yourself that you're paying for very local ingredients. Service was quite attentive, though our server over-enthusiastically detailed/footnoted more than half the items on the menu. Friendly, but a little too in-your-face. Pros: local ingredients, attentive service, decent food Cons: , over-talky server, not too filling more

Went here on a Friday night with a couple friends. The wait (no reservations) was an hour, but we didn't mind since we got a bottle of wine, but did mine since they were understaffed and only half the tables were full. When we were seated, service was spotty and slow, but helpful when it came to recommendations. The pizzas were good (Artichoke, Mussel), which took a while as well, and was better than most in Park Slope but not worth more than a trip from the neighborhood. If the service picks up, it could be a very good restaurant. Pros: Location, Solid pizzas, pretty space Cons: , Long wait for food more

Hands down the worst pizza we've eaten in a LONG time, waited really LONG for it too, almost an hour without even an apology or a comped beer, just excuses like 'we had a large table' before yours. Too bad, because now none of our friends will be going there. There is no basil to be found in the place, so the tomato/mozzarella (if that's what you call it) is BORING. The pancetta on the fontina and onion pie is sliced so thick it's like chewing on hunks of tough fat. Two skimpy artichokes sliced in half, 'not in the style of the jewish ghetto' (they don't greasily batter dip them in Rome's ghetto) are way overpriced. Sure the ingredients are organic, kudos, but they should find a chef who know how to use them. After we left we headed striaght to another pizzeria and had a great, satisfying meal. Pros: Decor Cons: , Food more

The food here is perfectly fine, but very tiny portions for the price. The bigger sin is the service --our waiter was late with our main dishes, late with the bill, which was totaled incorrectly (twice). Worst of all is the manager, who should have been attentive (after we had to ask her about where are order went), and should have at least comped us something for our trouble. Pizza shouldn't be such an ordeal. Pros: Good food, Nice atmosphere Cons: , Slooow service more

I've been to Franny's thrice since they last month, and I'll be back again soon. The first time I went with 5 other people. Comfortable, but it may be tight with a much larger group. They were very accomodating and would probably figure something out. We ordered 6 different pizzas and split them all. Delicious! Great wine selection, too. Very cozy atmosphere, so it was perfect when I went back with my girlfriend. If you don't like wine, try a Southampton beer (on tap!). According to the menu, they use all-natural ingredients whenever possible. Sure tasted fresh to me. A personal pizza is just a bit much for one person, but I doubt youll complain... great for sharing. The place is always hopping, but I have not had to wait long for a table. I do hope they expand their menu or add specials, for people who frequent their place. Pros: great beer & wine, natural food, perfect portions more
