The odds of me turning down an invitation to Frank's when the clock strikes noon are prettttttttttttttttttttttttttttty slim.

Why?

Because It's easily your best option for pizza downtown.

Pizza by the slice at Frank's is far superior to heartless Roman Delight in the tunnels and much larger / cheaper than the  baby slices at the trendy Bombay Pizza Co.

Frank's always has a few piping hot slices ready to serve including supreme, pepperoni, cheese and usually a veggie option. The employees are willing to make other varieties if you are cool waiting.

The best part - you can get a monster slice with a soda for under $5! That's a'more!

As for the flavor? Pretty on point! I would venture to say it's pretty comparable to Ray's Pizza in NYC (you know, the pizza joint on every corner).

So does Frank's pizza inspire poetry? No. But it's not supposed to. It's made by a guy named Frank (not true). But it does hit the spot.

Bonus! The joint pays homage to every movie filmed in Houston by plastering framed posters all over it's walls. Respect.

I also enjoy the neon shirts the delivery boys have been sporting - way to beat the heat!

Oh, Frank's.......you remind me of my favorite late night pizza joint from my college days in Bloomington, IN.......except that I'm sober and it's daylight. Seeing as though you are open late, I can always count on you to recreate the memory.
