I have been looking for true New York City style pizza in Baltimore for 4 years now . . . and I?ve finally found it! A couple weeks ago, I wandered into Frank?s Pizza?starving and expecting crappy, overpriced sustenance, nothing else. The owner, her assistant, and one customer were in the place. I was immediately served one piping hot slice of real NYC style thin crust pizza -- $2.10, please -- with just the right amount of sauce, cheese and grease. The people behind the counter were courteous, everything looked clean, and the pizza was just how I remembered it. The owner is apparently from Brooklyn (she certainly sounds it), and tells me she makes her own sauce and dough from scratch. I don?t care where she gets it; it tastes right. I?ve tried to go back a few times since, but their hours are not NY style: 11a to 10p M through Th, 11a to 11p Fr and Sat, Closed Sun. I know, I know. That?s plenty for most people. It?s just that I crave pizza at 11 pm on Saturday nights and on noon on Sundays.
Pros: easy parking, the only place I've found real NYC style pizza in B'more in 4 yrs, mid-day lunch special, sell pizza by the slice or the pie
Cons: far from most things, not open late Sat nite or at all on Sundays
