Everytime I drive in from Syracuse for a hike, Franco's Pizza is my non-negotiable pit stop! Their Roman style pizza is unlike anything else in the area- crispy, flavorful, generously loaded toppings. The quality is top notch. The staff, friendly, fast & welcoming. If your passing through Ithaca or just looking for a pizza spot that delivers every front- taste, service & atmosphere - Franco's is the place to be. Highly recommend! 💯💯🍕🍕

We got a calzone to go. There are just a few parking spots off street. We were lucky and got one to scoot in and out. The calzone was a great value. Too much cheese for our taste but it seemed authentic and that is what we were after. Convenient to our hotel.

We love this pizza! My nephew has multiple food allergies and this is one of the few places that don't trigger the "itchies." It is so tough to find good pizza these days that I look forward to a trip to Francos anytime I come to visit my sister who lives in Ithaca

Great pizza. Just as good as in NYC. Thin and crunchy bottom. Nice large space. Just don't take it to the brewery next door (they won't let you in with the pizza). Selection of drinks could be more extensive, but it is adequate. Just don't come too close to closing time or you will won't have much of a choice in toppings for pizza-by-the-slice.

Phenomenal pizza! The cheese was exquisite and the toppings fresh. It truly gives anything in NYC a run for its money. I visited Ithaca almost a month ago and it was the best meal I had my entire visit. Even though the staff is young, they are all well trained and professional.

Amazing selection of slices. Best by the slice I have ever had. The staff were friendly. This is a must stop for us. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Decent prices, very nice guy who runs it. Authentic guy for authentic pizza. Some of the best pizza I have had since moving to Ithaca. I wish I had tried it sooner. I heard it's as close to some NYC style pizza as you can get. Update on my second visit they did accidentally put banana peppers on my pizza instead of bell peppers, but an easy enough mistake.

Stellar - Garlic Sicilian slice is light, crispy, and to die for. Staff are always wonderful and service is quick as can be. Couldn't make up a complaint if I had to - Strong competition for the best pizza in Ithaca no doubt.

It’s my family’s favorite food stop when we visit Ithaca (we live in Rochester) for our hikes. I often tell people I would make the drive from Rochester just to grab the pizza… At our most recent visit, our order was made wrong, and the staff was already correcting as they came out and let us know… they still let us have the wrong order as well as the corrected order. Needless to say I was in heaven getting to bring pizza back to Rochester. Would recommend to anyone and already excited for my next visit.

You're doing yourself a disfavor if you order by the slice! Eating slices from a fresh pie is quite the textural experience. Best pizza in Ithaca (obviously)!

We found Franco during our vacation at Ithaca. Really good and fresh food, friendly service and chill place. This place was parents approved, we got large pizza with mushroom, olives, peppers and onions. It came out piping hot and bread quality was amazing. We ordered garlic knots l, since there were only 4 left, they gave it on the house (really nice gesture). Really enjoyed our experience, definitely must visit if you’re looking for vegetarian options in the area.

The best pizza in Ithaca! A nice crispy crust topped perfectly; it really tastes like a pizza pie straight from Italy. You can pick it up by the slice or get a whole pie, and they have a unique selection of soft drinks that you can choose from. Definitely check this place out!

My only issue was the lack of AC! The pizza looked so amazing I rushed on the first bite and burned my mouth! When I finally was able to taste it, it was worth the burn. Crispy with just the right amount of cheese and the sauce wasn't too sweet. It was obviously a homemade sauce. The best part was the environment. I felt like I stepped into a place far from New York State! Even the drink selection was authentically Italian. There none of the usual soft drinks in the cooler and it was chill, I found myself saying thank you in Italian and being answered in kind. I sat looking out to the street and truly enjoying my late lunch escape. Will come again!

I don’t pretend to be a pizza connoisseur but I have eaten pizza all over Italy for the past three summers. The pizza is A+. The cannoli’s were soooooo…. Disappointing. We went to Sicily this past summer so I had high hopes! Soggy, droopy crust and not filled to order. Would not recommend them but would highly recommend the pizza!
