What People Are Saying About Frankie's Pizza

In Short – Walk into Miami's oldest pizzeria, but don't go scrambling for a table. There aren't any. This is a takeout joint, but you'll see hungry patrons redefine that by chowing down slices on the order counter, on an outside bench, or in their cars. The old school pies aren't triangular, but square, and diners can order them up by the slice or entire pies (that come in 5 to 10 slices).Topping choices are fairly predictable (save for the harder to find salami or anchovy), and the crust is soft and thin. The pie averse will have to do with freshly-baked garlic rolls, given the…

Hi Everyone!
By far, this is the best Pizza in town! No questions ask!!! You have that family owned and operated feel to it, and everyone is happy. And the service to the customer is priceless!!! The service is fast and the friendliest, It's rite in the heart of Bird Road in Miami.... So if you are on the way home in either directions going east or west and you have a craving for pizza this is the place to go... Believe me when I tell you that nothing will top Frankies Pizza!!! =)
By the way, Don't ever forget the Garlic Rolls, they are to die for... YUUUMMMMYYYYYYY

Still unique - my favorite pizza of all along with my pie of chicago (used to be one in kendall, miami)
by johnnyjet
The previous review who hated it must have gone on a bad day-i worked in and eventually owned the McDonalds down the street on Bird Road and a few others, and knew Frankie and Roxanne for 30 years plus-It was a little better when Frankie lorded over the place, he worked near 24 / 7 , but Roxanne tries hard to keep up his tradition. I've never had a better , more unique tasting pizza- all the others are clones of each other-frankies has a unique taste, texture and shape- she needs to go back to fresh mushrooms tho-i started buying the half baked and adding my own at home- mabey the bad review bought a half baked one and didn't realize it was half cooked-mabey thats why he hated it. I wish "My Pie " of chicago would come back-that was totally different tasting too-- super thick and gooey-no dried up crust there-- those two made me bored with ordinary pizza forever. Thanks for the tip that they ship thru on line now.
- Pros: No seating
- Cons: Owner often on premise

Don't get fooled like I did

Drove from Kendall to get the "Best pizza in Miami". What a joke on me. This pizza is 1 step above a frozen pizza from my fridge. I'm not kidding. These reviews must be from the owner's relatives because this pizza is cut in dried up squares. Now realistically I wasn't expecting a New York tasting pizza but I never expected this. Every regular pizza chain taste better than this. The crust was crunchy like stale bread. The cheese was relatively tasty but I like a pizza I don't have to scrape of the crust to enjoy. I was born in Miami 49 years ago and never had a worst pizza.
- Pros: none
- Cons: dissapointing pizza

Hope you don't crave a slice on a Monday, my friend. The pizzeria is closed that day.
