“ Amazing thin crust zaaaaa! Prices extremely reasonable and the scrumptious smell free ! ”
“ Great Pizza and service is always the best. Thin crust with excellent back on the crust. The tablecloths are the best and I have a placemat framed. ”
“ Good but different. I got a cheese pizza which was yummy. It's crispy on the edges but not on the bottom of the crust and the sauce was lightly applied. I recommend trying it. ”
“ One of the top 3 pizzas in grand haven. I'd say it's tied for second with clover bar, both just behind Mr. Scribs. Their pizzas have been amazingly consistent for the last 35 years I've been eating them. Only one complaint. I wish they would expand their menu. Salsa would be nice, maybe nice Caesar with the option for chicken. Also spaghetti, garlic bread and bread sticks would be great. The other Fricanos has these things and it's great. ”
“ First time at the Grand Haven location. They only serve pizza here, but it is the classic, gooey, greasy thin crust pizza that Fricanos is famous for. They were busy but our server was quick and got our food out to us in a jiffy. The restaurant is basically an old house, it's been open since the 1940's. It gives it a homey and quaint feel. Highly recommend any of the Fricanos locations! ”
“ Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. Fricanos has the unique ability of being both wonderfully nostalgic and wonderfully delicious. The menu is simple. It's pizza. If you want an appetizer, you can grab some chips off the wall. They have a full bar and you can still get a cocktail for under $10 which is virtually unheard of. There's wine and beer available too and if and if you're feeling fancy they'll even bring you a glass. This place is an institution. A common thread that weaves together so many collective memories of good pizza and cherished time spent with those enjoying it.. ”
“ Best pizza in Michigan, best pizza ever in my honest opinion. Have to get the "EBA" can't beat it. Service always great and friendly. It's a home feeling and the building hasn't changed which makes it amazing ”
