"Really good pizza. Strange how the best pizzas or just anything are in the most unassuming locations. Probably the most new York style pizza outside of the north east ive ever ate. Lots of toppings, great crust, and don't let me forget to mention those fried ravioli. OMG... Those were awesome. And with that marinara sauce, Not too bad. Definitely a place you'll wanna try out if you're coming thru hillsboro. Great service, clean restaurant and a great pizza pie. O...and try the Italian creme cake."

"They have the best pasta and pizza I've ever tasted in town. The pizza is delicious and thin. You can't stop trying Frankie's pizza, it's out of this world. The best pasta for us was tortolini. They have a delicious homemade bread that we all love. If you pass through Hillsboro you definitely have to get to this place."

"This was undoubtedly the best Italian dinner I have in a very long time. Large portions, salad included with entree, and very reasonable prices. Home made sausage was delicious and the Baked Tuscany was superb!! Met the owner and his wife, Sonila. Very hospitable and welcoming. Relaxed atmosphere. Angela ,our server, was very attentive and adorable!! Great overall experience."

- Cheri T.

"Frenkie's catered our small office party, and every bite was pure perfection! The food was absolutely delicious -- hands down the best lasagna I've ever tasted, with layers of rich sauce and perfectly melted cheese. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was creamy, tender, and bursting with comforting flavor, great for dipping the homemade rolls in. The entire experience felt like a little trip to Tuscany, with Frenkie's warm and inviting atmosphere adding to the charm. I can't wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu -- it's a true hidden gem!"

- Dana B.

"Sharing a review on behalf of my husband and his coworker who are in town for work and decided to have dinner here. They said everything was delicious and genuinely authentic. It was either the owner or chef or both that they encountered but had nothing but great things to say about him and his very friendly demeanor. Definitely recommend stopping by and ask for the Frenkie's special!"

- Bianca

"First time stopping and I'll let America know. The chef and his wife did a great job with this Italian business. Customer service is 10/10 and the waitress is friendly. I would stop in Anytime I'm in my way to Waco and enjoy a well cooked flavored spaghetti. Thanks for having us"
