"You gotta go to Frank's". "Frank's is the best pizza ever". "Frank's won top honor's in another pizza contest. I'm telling you, Frank's is the best". Okay, after hearing this about a hundred times, I decided to try Frank's. I mean, Ambridge isn't far from where I live. But Ambridge also isn't exactly the most exciting destination. So after reading the "history" of Frank's on their website, we knew had to go. We love those old time businesses and delight in the stories of how they were hatched.
We decided to try them on a recent Monday night. Apparently call ins are advised of a 45 minute pizza, while walk in's are 15-20 minutes. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza. While we waiting, it was fun to watch the family work in the kitchen. Father, two daughter and grandma. And talk about busy! There was a steady trail of customers in and out the door the entire time we were there.
I wanted to try the pizza the minute we got in the car. But it was much too hot. I had to wait until we got back to Cranberry. It was worth the wait! The crust is amazing. So soft, yet crispy on the outside. I can't say enough good about that crust. It could only be better if it was whole wheat. The sauce is awesome. This is the kind of pizza that I call wet pizza. The sauce is still liquid even after the pizza is cooked. The pepperoni is thick and yummy. This pizza is definitely one of the best!
