We went for a walk from our Castle Shannon apartment looking for dinner. We happened accross Franco's. It was our first visit there. The owner 's mother took our order and chatted with us about our impressions of the area, having moved from Jersey City. The owner entertained out 6 year old with his pizza making skills. We ordered a medium pie, half plain for the boy and half with meatballs. It was amazing, by far the best pizza we have found in these parts. Momma brought us a meatball to try to honor our first visit. My italian wife may have slipped and said that Mama's meatballs are as good as her Nana's.
