Overall pretty satisfied with the Virgin Creek pizza we ordered. Very flavorful and cool toppings but the crust was a bit too thick and flaky. The prices were a bit higher than expected but still worth visiting. The ice cream was out of this world, would highly recommend!

Only tried the pizza but it was great with some good unusual combos as well as the standards we all love. Great salads too

10/10 Great Pizza and Ice cream.

We were excited to try Frankie’s, given its reputation and charming setting. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.
The small pizza we ordered had a soggy center, and the crust lacked flavor and seemed undercooked. It’s possible that the larger sizes fare better, but this one missed the mark. The Mediterranean salad was fine but nothing particularly memorable.
On the positive side, the ice cream was enjoyable. They offer unique flavors like candy cap mushroom, which was surprisingly good. The selection is limited, but it’s a nice treat, especially considering the scarcity of late-night dessert options in Mendocino.
The staff was friendly, and we only waited about 15 minutes, which was reasonable. While we appreciate the community vibe and the effort to provide diverse options, the food quality left us wanting more. Given the rave reviews, perhaps we caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, we can’t justify a higher rating.

Was walking up to the door and the lady came outside to take the open sign inside. Their hours on the door said they were going to be open till 9 and so not sure why they were closing 25 min early, especially if they saw us coming in? It’s a Friday.

We had the big salad and a #9 pizza. The sausage was tasty and the olives and onions generous. The pizza had a nice thin crust with a bit of crunch. The small pizza and salad were perfect to share for dinner. They even made a decent Mocha and had a chai tea option for my wife.
