| - Three words summarize our experience at Franco's:
Best. Pizza. EVER.
That's a bold statement, I know; believe EVERY word. Danny & family have something incredibly special going on here, and you owe it to yourself to get your catoosh out to Castle Shannon to partake in the passion, hospitality, & culinary perfection that only a TRUE Italian pizzeria can deliver.
I've been all over this green Earth and I've never had pizza like this. I'd put Danny's work up against anyone's, including those I've sampled in the mother country, Italy. Crust? Flaky, light, perfectly textured, and delicious. Danny's technique for doughraising should be patented. Sauce? Perfectly portioned and balanced; marked by notes of both sweetness and spice. Cheese? Ooey-gooey melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Toppings? Highest quality; the hand-ground pepperoni reduces greasiness but adds flavor to each slice. Together, these ingredients and techniques work in concert to finish in a symphony of flavor; in short, the perfect pie.
To top it all off, Danny, his mamma Elvira, and staff couldn't have been more hospitable; they made us feel like we were "famiglia". We'll be coming back as many times as they will have us!
Please. Go to Franco's. Make the trip. Bear the traffic. Burn the extra gas. You'll be glad you did.
***UPDATE***
We visited Franco's again a couple of weeks ago - everything I said above is CONFIRMED. Danny, Nonna, & staff treated us like royalty...like FAMILY. This WILL be our go-to place for Italian cuisine in western PA until the apocalypse or Danny runs out of ingredients, whichever comes first.
I'll say it again:
Best. Pizza. EVER.
