Franka Pizzeria - Des Moines

Hey I live this place. First time venturing into the village and was lucky enough to stop in. Staff is crazy friendly (thank you) Great pizza, bar is open and inviting and a nice draft selection. Selfishly I also like that on our 3 visits so far it?snot been busy. Will be back for sure (likely soon)

Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had. We ordered two different ones with two different sauces. The pizza was so wet everything fell off of it and the crust was soggy and floppy. It was disgusting. The service was so terrible we had to get upand find someone to pay so we could leave. The server kept forgetting our drinks to the point we canceled them so we could getout of there. Only positive was the atmosphere and drinks assuming you were lucky enough to get them.

Love this place! Am trying to become a regular because of how great the pizza and atmosphere is! We always get waited on by the same blonde person who is so sweet. Do not know their name but they are always there! Have loved everything I?ve gotten andalways enjoy dining in here. And as someone who often doesn?t enjoy dining in, this is big! Love you guys <3

Ordered a pizza to go. Just picking up the box I could tell it was going to be sub par. Box felt wet and greasy. Got the Margherita pizza and it was so greasy in the middle that when you picked it up half the 'toppings ' fell off.

This was my first time finally trying Franka. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas to split between the three of us and had plenty of leftovers. We had the sweet potato fries and spinach artichoke dip and I will order both again. The sweet potato friescame with the most delicious dipping sauce. I ordered a chai tea latte and it was perfection. The atmosphere is relaxing andfresh. All around this is the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant I have been to in a while. For sure my new favoriterestaurant in the East Village.
