Frank's Pizza - Raritan

I find it hilarious how some critics can be so harsh. It’s clear they have nothing better to do than sit in front of their computers and rant about a business. But let’s get back to the important stuff... The food here is absolutely fantastic, and the staff are incredibly friendly and warm! One time I arrived at 9:30, and they even offered me a complimentary slice to try, which was the Italian hotdog pizza. It was incredibly delicious! I also had the penne vodka, and it was wonderfully creamy! I honestly don't know where this critic got the idea that it was like tomato soup, because the last time I checked, tomato soup is red—not orange—and it doesn’t have noodles! Just thought I’d add that in case there was any confusion. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying Franken! It’s literally the best place I’ve ever eaten at!

I had Penne Tomato soup for dinner, and the sauce-to-noodle ratio was inconsistent. There was so much sauce that if it didn't taste like it came from a large Costco can, I could save it to make my own noodles and have another meal. So if you're looking for a second meal, that's an option. As for the garlic knots—while they looked like traditional garlic knots, they actually tasted like garlic-seasoned dinner rolls, probably frozen. When I bit into one, I could taste the oil, and it wasn't great. I even tried another bite, but it was just as disappointing as the first.

I had the Penne Tomato soup for dinner, and the sauce-to-noodle ratio was inconsistent. There was so much sauce that it felt like I could save some for another meal and make my own pasta later—if it weren’t from a generic Costco can, which is what it tasted like. If you're thinking about getting an extra meal, consider the garlic knot. They resemble traditional garlic knots, but they taste more like garlic-seasoned dinner rolls—likely frozen. When I bit into one, I even found some oil pooling at the side of my mouth (not the most appealing experience). I gave it a second chance with another bite, but it was just as disappointing as the first.
