This restaurant is now permanent ly closed. There is construction going on inside and looks like will reopen in the near future.

Frankie and Johnnys is nothing to rant or rave about. The TV in the dining area is too loud and by the looks of today's pies, they've been out for a minute. It's located 5 blocks in from the Venice promenade. The slices are $3.25 for cheese, $4 for pepperoni, pies start around $20. The consistency of the crust is thin and crispy. The slice could use more cheese and freshness.

Best pizza in LA. Best service. Best flavor. I'm born and raised in LA but lived in NY for several years and this pizza is the most legit NY-style pizza I've found here. I always get the X-large cheese and it's the BOMB! Don't waste time with any other pizza place. Just go directly here and be happy!!!

Some of the best pizza I have had in LA. Great service as well. Fresh quick and just reminds me of my trips to New York.

Came here for lunch as I was in the area and got their lunch special. The value of the deal was fair, and since the place was empty there was practically no wait. The pizza had a thin crust that was dry, but it was recently fresh off the oven as it was hot. The salad was a salad, there's nothing really to say. In all honesty, there's nothing special about this place. If you're in the mood for pizza [or the type of food they serve at pizzerias] then you should come here. Otherwise, check your options.

Average pizza, New York Style thin crust for a decent price. Great for a quick slice and the service is always friendly - nice enough to offer the 2 slice and a drink lunch deal all day, if you ask. My default neighborhood pizza place.

This pizza blows! It was used to be all right at the old location that was on San Vicente Blvd in Brentwood. I tried it at the new location once before, and thought that it was not good. Of course, I thought that maybe they had a bad day, and everyone deserves a second chance. This time it sucked even more than the first time. The sauce was bland, the cheese had no flavor, and the crust tasted like a cardboard box. In short, this was a pizza made out of cardboard. Will never eat this crappy pizza again! IT SUCKS! New Yorkers would really be pissed to know that this place calls itself N.Y. style pizza. Save your money. A frozen pizza from the market, or Trader Joe's is a 100 times better than this crap!

Feel bad saying this but honestly...was disgusting. Pizza was cold, pool of orange grease in the middle and the rest was otherwise dry and stale. Sauce was nearly crusting over...I mean overall, the whole thing was just not fresh or good in general. I can best summarize by saying it looked like it had been cooked in a microwave and then left to sit out. I also ordered a slice of chocolate cake. Pretty simple right? It was also old AF. Hard in a vile way that cake just shouldn't be. The best part of the whole experience was the massive black hair gallantly streaming out of the cake slice, while the other end was deeply embedded within the slice. Tried to eat the untainted parts (because I was 100% starving having not eaten the pizza) but once again, was just old and dry, truly felt like eating any portion of this food was a health risk. Ick. So bad. Don't waste your money or 1.5 hours waiting for this to show up.

i ordered through Grubhub and didn't receive my order for 2.5 hours. Keep in mind that the driver belongs to Frankie & Johnnies. The driver handed over the food and immediately took off. After handing out food to my coworkers, I noticed that A) My drink was missing, B) The croutons in my salad were DARK brown and stale, and C) My pizza was so cold! When I called to ask if they could bring my drink back, the manager barked into the phone that the driver couldn't find parking and next time I should answer my phone..even though they called ONE minute before the food arrived and I called back. I guess you get what you pay for. Cheap food = cheap taste, and even cheaper service. I would rather light the $30 I spent on this food before I hand it over to this business.
Can you give an establishment 0 stars? I have never had a worse experience than ordering with Frankie and Johnnies. I was quoted 30 minutes delivery time and asked to be called when the driver arrived. The driver called me and said he was 5 minutes away. I went and stood outside my apartment for 20 minutes and waited and he never showed up. I called several times. He answered a couple times and said he was in a parking lot on a different block and eventually just stopped answering his phone. This is the worst delivery experience I have ever experience and I would not recommend ANYONE ever order from this restaurant. I called and asked to speak with the owner or someone in charge and no one was able to help me. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT if you want your food to actually show up. And judging by previous yelp reviews the food isn't even good.

Really fair prices, thin crispy crust, delicious sauce. Primarily a take-out place, but they have a few tables that they can slide together for you if needed. Recommended for a quick bite.

i just ordered food from them and the sandwiches were not even cooked through, they were disgusting and it took almost 2 hours for my food to be delivered and the service was even worse. when i called and told them about my sandwiches being almost raw they told me "that's the way they come" um, i am sorry but i have had meatball marinara subs numerous times and the bread is cooked through. i am extremely disappointed

This place is dreadful, the worst slice of pepperoni I have ever eaten in my life. Ketchup and Cardboard would taste better! Run Away a fast as you can and keep your dollars in your pocket!!! Horrible just doesn't begin to describe! One star I way too much, however Yelp had to have a least a star!

Really enjoy the simplistic flavor of Franky and Johnnies pizza. Sauce is magical. Crispy crust. Simple and packed with flavor.
Great new location
