Reviews describe Forno Pizza Frankie's as a standout hidden gem with New Haven style pies and a crust that is thin, crisp, and well balanced by fresh ingredients. Many call it among the best pizzas in Montreal and note the Mortadella sandwich and the Donnie Brasco pizza as must-tries, along with the Figgy for a sweet-savory twist. The atmosphere is described as cozy and unique, like an apartment turned into a pizza shop, and the staff are repeatedly praised for being friendly and attentive, though peak times can bring longer waits and some days the service may feel slower. Takeout and pickup are common, there is limited seating, and prices are on the higher side, but most agree the quality and craftsmanship justify the cost. Overall, it is regarded as a top destination for pizza lovers, worth the drive or detour, where flavorful dough, thoughtful toppings, and a welcoming vibe leave a lasting impression.
The pizza is truly amazing. I'll be ordering the Donnie Brasco for next Saturday!

Just as an update the Donnie Brasco was incredible it was perfectly balanced, this family run business is great! They're super friendly & also have amazing looking sandwiches, great drinks & pizza by the slice! I live 5 minutes away but would drive an hour just to eat it in my car. A walk in couple grabbed 2 sandwiches to eat while they waited for 2 pizzas & they looked very happy with their life choice. This is going to be my weekend treat moving forward, Salad all week & Frankie's on Saturday!!!
1 year after my first pie from Frankie's & it's as good as ever! Had the Donnie Brasco today & couldn't be happier with the quality. I have 3 slices left & will be picking at it the rest of the afternoon!

I like to add in the occasional update so that you can judge the consistency for yourself. I picked up a Donnie Brasco for my brother & I at 12:30 today, it was as good as ever! The crust is thin, crispy & light. It was my brother's first time having the Donnie Brasco & he felt the flavors were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat (my brother is a chef by trade). It was the perfect compliment to a couch day watching Cross on Amazon. The last pic is from today.
If you're looking for artificial sausage & low grade pepperoni or heavy pizza then this is not the place for you. If you're looking for quality real ingredients & a light & crispy crust then order in advance & hit up Frankie's! Keep it up gang!

For 50$ not worth it.
Sauce - bland
Dough - chewy but the crust rock hard as if it had been reheated
Cheese - barely enough to call it a pizza
Atleast there was a good amount of pepperoni on it as it was the only good thing about it.
Just wanted to give my honest opinion to the public.
If you want a good pizza for 50$ go somewhere else where taste matters more than aestetic.
Dough ( crust )….too thin
Sauce…. Not enough,
Pepperoni…. Tasty,
Cheese …… just barely covers the pie
This is an 18 inch 45$ pie
Large Pie justifies the price
Nothing special for me at Frankie's Pizza in Lachine
Excellent pizza. Pepperoni slice was amazing . Thin, light & airy crust. Very good quality pepperoni. Wasn't a fan of the spinach slice but it was still good. Quality ingredients. Definitely MY top 3 pizzas in the city . I highly recommend. Outstanding! 9.2/10
Certainly one of the best pizzas I have ever had in Montreal.
It's a pretty unique experience. Order was placed through their instagram page. The prices are pretty high 35-40$ per pizza. But it's a large pie, probably around 14-16 inches, comes with 8 slices. The crust is thin & perfectly charred, just the right amount of flop. Sauce & cheese were really good too, just the right amount. Both pepperoni & cheese pizza were great. I really enjoyed this New Haven style slice. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a proper pizza experience, but the price point is pretty high so I reserve it for special occasions.
Service was great, everyone in there is super nice. Atmosphere is pretty interesting. It basically seems like it's just someone's apartment converted into a pizza shop. Pretty cool.
Next time I definitely want to try the sandwiches which look amazing too.

I'd read about Frankie's Pizza Forno a while ago, but only got to try it a few weeks back-& wow, that pizza is heavenly! 🍕 Since then, I've been stopping by almost every week.
Today I went with a friend, & he fell in love just like I did-the taste, the vibe, the staff… everything! He even said this pizza has it all: a full meal & dessert, thanks to that amazing crust 😋
The staff are honestly the best-always smiling, super friendly, & make you feel like you've just walked into a cozy family pizzeria somewhere in Italy 🇮🇹
Seriously, don't waste your money on'pizza' elsewhere. Go to Frankie's, & you'll never want any other pizza again!
Found this place because it went viral.. showed up an hour before closing & there was a sold out sign on the door 😟
Decided to go upstairs anyways & was lucky enough to snatch a few slices & man was it goooooddddd!! The crust, the sauce the toppings.. if there was ever a perfect pizza this place got it! Possibly the best pizza I've ever had! Can't wait to try a whole many pies next time we're in town!! Highly recommended!!
Enjoyed the overall flavour. Crust on the think side & too muh crust without toppings. I prefer a little more sauce as it was dry. Original location. All the best.
A friend told me about this place & how unique their business operations were. I just had to try it! The pizza is excellent, I love the tomato sauce & the crust is perfect. They add shaved parmesan on top which I think brings it slightly towards the over salted zone. The price is a bit high, but hopefully it doesn't increase more than what it is as they scale up. We picked up our pizza, brought it down & ate it out of my trunk. The owner saw us & came down with a couple of sodas & a had a quick chat. I love that kind of familiarity, so this place became a 5/5 right there. Can't wait to come & learn more about these guys.
OMG - This pizza was something else. We picked the New Haven style & it didn't disappoint. The slightly charred crust, the sauce & the cheese (11 out of 10). The Donnie Brasco is next on our hit list. Thanks guys - You are on to something very big
Hidden Gem on the 11th avenue that offers New York style pizza here in Lachine. Char on the crust, fresh ingredients, non-greasy & hold itself, add a little Italian beverages with that as Chinotto soda or a MoleCola & more for the perfect combo. Limited quantities, checkout for opening days. You can order for pickup only. Follow them on Instagram @fornopizzafrankies from there, you will find their ordering website. Ciao

I've not had pizza this good since my trip to Italy. Everything about it was delicious. I usually don't eat my crusts, but it was a pleasure to eat every single bit of this pizza. The amount of sauce & cheese was perfectly to my liking. Absolutely fantastic & worth a detour for anyone who doesn't live close.
