Franny's is my absolute favorite bklyn restaurant. I am consistently impressed with the dishes & pizza. NEVER had bad service.. the wait staff are incredibly friendly. Worth the wait 100%. Second best pizza in the city behind Lucali.

I wanted to make just one trip here, have the experience, and never come back. One of the most difficult locations to get to from Westchester. Lots of hype. Many people have written that they leave feeling fleeced and hungry. I've known about Franny's for some time but have been reluctant to travel up dreaded Flatbush Ave. and pay mucho dinero for a personal sized pizza that gets inhaled. Boy was I wrong! I swooned after tasting this pie. It solidly gets my highest rating for a sit-down restaurant pizza (I'll rate them in order as: DiFara, Franny's, Totonno's, Patsy's and Arturo's). Great service and staff. Dough is the best I've ever tasted. Even after the pizza cooled I marveled at the taste of the dough. The mixture of delicately seasoned sauce, cheese and spices was perfect. This one experience has taught me that pizza is primarily about dough and baking. I strongly recommend getting the sausage pie. The sausage pieces are of the highest quality but don't detract from the taste of an otherwise perfect Margherita. The clam pie was equally good! I marveled at its subtle taste. Wow! Plan on ordering three pies (at $17 for each personal sized pie) for two people and don't give the bill a second thought. It's worth it! I'll be coming back (often).

It has great service & Atmosphere. Food and wine are great but too expensive for Brooklyn… We ordered Sausage pizza was great but came with only 5 small piece of sausage, same as clam pizza. They should add more sausage and clams if they charge that much for! We’re drinking one glass of wine during waiting for pizza end up $65 for 2 Pizza & 2 glasses of house wine.. We could had full dinner instead.. After houses later, I was still hungry…

Every meal I have at Franny's is delicious, interesting, and leaves me feeling well-fed. But the prices are freaking ridiculous: $9 for a single piece of bread topped with butter and some pancetta? $11 for a tiny plate of roasted carrots? Even the pizzas - which are spectacular - are sparsely topped. They can't cost more than a dollar or two in raw materials - charging $16 for what's basically flatbread dotted with the occasional bit of cheese and tomato leaves me feeling like I'm being taken for a ride.

We got two pizzas from Franny's last night a clam, chilies, and parsley pie and a buffalo mozzarella with sausage, tomatoes, and hot peppers. They both sounded so great. We were shocked to find almost nothing on either pie. Four or five clams on the entire clam pie, maybe six little sausage slices on the other. After quickly eating these pies, which cost us about $40 altogether, we were nearly as hungry as when we'd started. They were also overly salty. No way could this feed an adult for dinner, even though I'd asked and been told they were a full dinner portion. I love thin crust pies, but this was not good quality.

I had been waiting to go to Franny's - I heard the food was high quality and the pie excellent. When I read a review about clam pies I made Franny's a priority. Upon arriving, I was told I would have a 25 minute wait. And since I had been on my feet working all day I requested a seat at the bar from the hostess. She let 3 different parties of 2 to seat themselves at the bar without exhibiting any control over her customers whatsoever. After 45 minutes me and my friend got a table for 2. We first were disappointed by the lack of poultry fish and vegetarian offerings on the menu. We compromised and ordered a crostini (one piece of bread came in the order, not two) and a octopus salad. Not very PC to have on the menu and certainly my last choice but there was no other option. We then finished our order off with the clam, pepper and parsley pie. The bus chick tried to give us some BS about "chilling our wine" and thats why our apps came out before the wine was brought to the table. The appetizer portions were so measly and the prices so high that it completely eclipsed the quality of the food for lack of value. The pie was simply ok, if you want to share 6 little clams between 2 people. And our waitress rushed us off the table as soon as we said we didn't want dessert. I will never go back to Franny's - no matter how high quality the ingredients. It's missing the other components: value, service & ambiance. Additionally, there are no speakers in the back of the room, so you can hear every complaint your next door table is making. Franny's evidently has no lack of customers, and I wish them well, but I was disappointed, and hope they take this criticism constructively since there is a lot of potential there.

This place is known mostly for their pizza (gorgeous open brick oven), but it has also a full bar and serves creative pasta dishes. They get their ingredients from local producers, an increasing and welcome trend around Park Slope. Great place for a quick dinner before heading to BAM.
