1:57 AM – “Oh Waitress… We’ll need four shots of Jack and four Lagers please.”
The preceding quote was taken from a late night of shenanigans at ye ole Franco Ristorante (226 Bridge St). Once upon a time, a man aspired to create a grandiose late-night buffet catering to the boozers on Bridge. This man passed out flyers to advertise his storied buffet compiled of pizza, pasta, meatballs, sausage, salad, and other such pleasantries, lasting from 11pm to 4am, and all for a very affordable price. Does this scenario sound intriguing? Well, it was while it lasted…
An idea of this magnitude is worthy of an honorable mention. Such is also the case with the takeout pizza served at Franco’s. It’s a distinguished sorta pie. The kind you take home to mama. Nothing shocking or fancy, just honest to goodness pizza.
The ingredients are distributed evenly, and the sauce is rather bold. The delightfully robust pepperoni is a perfect partner to the tasty cheese that is neither plentiful, nor sparse. The only problem I have is with the crust. It’s too flimsy for my liking, and quite honestly tastes a lil’ off, but if you like to fold your pizza (ala NYC-style) then you’ll be in hog heaven.
So, I’m giving Franco’s 6 slices out of 8. It’s recommended Bridge Street pizza without the bells and whistles.
The pizza is just ave. Nothing to yell about.Can take it or leave it.But , i dunno why , but you have to check your change.Three times old Frankey gave me back the less than we should have gotten.Its just seems strange that the owner would make a mistake, less alone three mistakes.
