Frank's Pizza opened in 1955 and has been serving up pizzas to many satisfied customers.  The restaurant serves Quad Cities style pizza (similar to that of Harris Pizza).  This type of pizza is served in long strips, with generous cheese, and toppings.  The crust should be crisp yet chewy.  The restaurant had a bar, several tables from the 50’s, and cinderblock walls.  Kid friendly, pay at the bar.

Verdict

Sauce: The sauce had a strong tomato taste that was a bit overwhelming. For those who like tomato, it’s a dream come true.

Cheese: Lots of cheese made this pie greasy, but delicious.

Crust: The crust was amazing.  Light, yet tasty.  Crispy, yet chewy.  This one really grew on me.

Toppings: Lots of pepperoni under the cheese.  Very tasty! 

 

Final thoughts:  For those who like QC pizza, and need a place to dine in, go to Frank’s!  In the future, I’d love to see how this compares to Harris.
