Franco's in South Ribble

Service and delivery was good. Food was hit and miss. Garlic bread and pasta very good. Meatballs are some of the worst I have tasted. Very little meat, lots of breadcrumb and rock hard. Like little salty rocks. Sauce on both pasta and as good. Maybe just avoid the meatballs. Driver was lovely

Our favourite place to eat out and for takeaway 😋 absolutely fantastic

Great food. Fantastic service. Lovely delivery.

I ordered spicy garlic bread got i dunno a quarter dry crispy bit quarter tomato , quarter cheese n garlic n a quarter tomato spicy what I actually wanted lol the chicken was nice but sauce was bland unfortunately didn't really taste of anything i got chicken stroganoff but came really quick like super quick

Lovely food, and great to have a choice beyond just pizza for a change

Best meal ive had from francos and it arrived 15 minutes later after i ordered (i do live a min away) hot and delicious , was top notch

The delivery was early and forgot to bring 2 deserts and 1 drink, then when we decided to eat what had been delivered, a strand of some fibre was found in one of the dishes and that put us right off eating it. Had to order from some where else, I won’t be back to Franco’s terrible experience

No complaints, really enjoyed the food and the delivery driver was friendly. Will definitely be ordering from here again

Without a doubt the best place for food in Preston. Both myself and my partner adored the food and the dough balls were to die for. This will definitely be our go to pizza place from this point forward. Can not recommend Francos enough

Went to get ice cream after a walk in the sun … what a rip off !!! Bought 2 ice creams and the girl serving didn’t even do a full scoop it didn’t even fill any of the area ontop of the cone it was a very measly stingy scoop .., We ended up paying £7 odd for two ice creams that looked so pathetic for money …. Wont be returning… save your money and just buy a tub of expensive ice cream at supermarket 😉 where you will actually get taste of some ice cream and enjoy it

I ordered the pasta which is lobsters and prawns in the sauce, no prawns came in the sauce took pictures

really wanted a spaghetti bol but received a dish full of spaghetti no bolognase in sight very expensive for just spaghetti

Great service and lovely pizza and pasta. Thank you

Second time I’ve ordered. Great with allergies & lovely food. On the second order though the gooey pudding was supplied as a frozen pudding and I’ve no way to heat it up!!! The goujons were very hard. The pollo was delicious again.

First time ordering from here, great quality food ! A new favourite!!

Took an age to arrive and then food was poor. Pizza looked like it had been tipped upside down. Topping was everywhere but in the food. Will stick to Antonello in future

Brilliant!!! Arrived super quick and good was delicious

Cold food and cheese garlic bread swimming in oil. Expensive for quality

Beautiful pizzas, crispy chips, arrived nice and hot thank you

My Italian Leyland pizza experience In the heart of Leyland, there's a gem of Italian culinary culture known as Franco's Italian Pizza which I must give credit too. This traditional pizza haven continues to impress myself and his patrons, and for good reason. From the moment you step inside, you're taken to an atmosphere of authentic Italian hospitality. With Mr. Franco himself overseeing the action, the restaurant is a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion for delivering a true taste of Italy. Visual Spectacle and Unmatched Quality as we watched. Watching the chefs at Franco's (in clear view) create each pizza and meal is an experience in itself. They work tirelessly with fresh, high-quality ingredients and meticulous skill to prepare the perfect pizza and most delicious menu offerings. You witness the pizza dough being expertly kneaded, stretched, and topped with a variety of fresh toppings before it's popped into the Italian oven. As the dough crisps and the cheese bubbles, you can almost taste and smell the magic happening in front of your eyes and nose. Generous Hospitality One of the highlights of dining at Franco's is the thoughtful hospitality that patrons receive. Mr. Franco is known for his warm generosity, often offering a complimentary cheese garlic bread to accompany the main meal. It's the perfect appetizer to whet your appetite while you wait for your pizza. After the savoury course, the selection of traditional Italian gelato provides a sweet, refreshing conclusion to any meal. Passion and Perseverance Mr. Franco's dedication is nothing short of inspirational. Despite having only one leg, (i'm sure he won't mind me mentioning this) he personally ensures with energy that every pizza leaving the kitchen meets his very high standards. This determination is not just a testament to his strength but also to his unwavering commitment to quality to each and every customer. As I sat there and watched my meal being prepared you can see that every pizza and dish reflects his love for traditional Italian cuisine, and every bit of his food tells a story of passion and perseverance. Well here's my conclusion. 5* Franco's Italian Pizza stands out as one of the finest Italian pizza restaurants in Leyland, bringing the essence of Italy to the local community. Whether you dine in or opt for their reliable delivery service, you'll find an unmatched level of authenticity and quality. The restaurant's warm ambiance, the chefs' skills, and Mr. Franco's dedication create an extraordinary taste experience for families and individuals alike. Thank you Mr Franco, you are a perfect example of consistent dedication, and in my house, we love your food for sure. (Especially on a Friday night) Thank you

Turned up early . Was cold and not even enough to feed a toddler. Will not be ordering again .

Cheese dough balls are the best! Been in the restaurant and ordered takeout. Both a high quality standard :-)

By hignfar the best pizzeria in Leyland. Amazing dough, well prepared pizza from pizza man with real ingredients. Great Italian pizza- very well done. Place itself- it’s kind of mixed feeling - something between takeaway and Italian restaurant- maybe separating the place into two would benefit? Will definitely come back- it’s great and hidden gem in Leyland. Happy to recommend to anyone- keep the real thing please!

Maybe the best Italian restaurant in Leyland. Pasta and pizza were delicious, only dessert cannoli was so so.

I really appreciated the courtesy call to let us know we were next and that they were just waiting on the driver

Absolutely beautiful pizza. Loved them all. We had the Salami, the Caterina with rocket and the meat feast. Also the mexicana garlic bread as part of the free offer which was epic. Fantastic service and will definitely return and recommend. Just for info it's cash only but no issue and can also pay via the website if need just not by card. We didn't have any but the ice cream looked great too 😁👌

Did someone kick my food down an alleyway?

We had a takeaway tonight from Franco’s. Wow, amazing food, delivered hot and fresh from the oven. Wonderful pizza bases and loaded with quality toppings. Thank you Franco’s. 🇮🇹🍕

A fantastic little restaurant. Warm and friendly, no frills place for an evening. It is a cafe/ ice cream parlour by day also. 4 of us had a fabulous meal, pizzas, pasta, and a chicken dish with bruschetta and mini pepperoncino to share as a starter. All of it was delicious. All washed down with some very quaffable house wine. The prices are extremely reasonable, by far the best value for food this good and especially wine, that I have come across in a long time.

1st time ordering and will Not be the last. Food was beautiful, portion size was fab and it was delivered on time and still hot.

I cannot speak highly enough of this place, I love it and been several times. I feel like I’m in Italy, love the open kitchen and everyone is exchanging conversations with each other some in Italian it’s just wonderful, and to top it off you have the owners Angela and Franco and believe you me they don’t come better than them two. See you again soon. Thank you to you all. ❤️

Food amazing arrived hot and good size portion's. Garlic bread with cheese was delicious. Will most definitely order again and recommend this restaurant.

We have always enjoyed our Francos delivery we used to go to the restaurant regular when it was at the old police station before it closed the new shop is expensive but the free garlic bread you get if you spend over 20 always makes it worth while. This evening to our great disappointment we never got our garlic bread with our order I rang the shop explaining that we had not received one to be argued with by a staff member saying only orders done over the phone direct with the shop entitle you to the free garlic bread I tried to explain this has never been the case before and I was made to feel like a liar and rudely told that if I’ve received one in the past it was by mistake . Well I’ve had multiple orders through Leyland eats and always spend over 20 pounds so that’s a lot of mistakes when eventually our food came I was very disappointed it was cold and not worth what we paid for needless to say after the way I was spoken to I won’t be ordering again !!!

Great place to eat. The pizza was fantastic lemonade was lovely but could be a bit colder would come back again first class service thanks Angela x

Great delivery, lady informative, helpful and friendly.

Fab food fab service! Always 5 ⭐️

First time ordering here and I’m a tad disappointed:( food had barely any temperature, although you can tell it was freshly prepared! Chicken goujons were nice! Even cold, sad I couldn’t have more of the pizza!! Will have to dine in next time!

Pizza was amazing. Dough balls were lovely and spicy, strange that they put them on the pizza however the taste was awesome. Delivery was a little late but the restaurant called to let me know, which was good of them. Will definitely order from here again.

the garlic mushrooms were really delicious and hot, the garlic bread was good but only just warm unfortunately. Also I ordered a bottle of Merlot to drink with the food but I got a bottle of warm red frizantte. I didn't realise this until I'd opened it.

First ever order from here, food arrived a few minutes late but it was worth it. The food arrived hot and tasted yummy. Will order again for definite

Excellent food. Service ok. The ‘restaurant’ was very cold. The waitress said ‘it’ll get warmer from the kitchens’!!! Side plates needed for garlic bread. Something needed for tea bag. Side plate needed for prawn shells. Better serviettes please. Just trying to help ❤️

As usual food amazing and early. Yum yum ❤️

Such good pizza and best dough balls I've had , will be ordering again!

The pizza and garlic bread was cold, the bottle of coke was warm.. the chips were spot on as we're the bbq wings and goujons but other than that i wouldn't pay 53quid again for cold pizza and warm coke.

One of the worst pizza's l have ever had

The order was delivered and hot as always, unfortunately we ordered the sirloin and it was well over cooked and inedible 😞 everything else was good!

Food came like a concrete block in a tub. Didn’t send the drinks

I ordered again from Francos because last time the dough balls were so memorable. Today ordered the nduja dough balls again, a cheesy garlic bread and the wild boar and goats cheese pizza between 2 of us. Plenty of food, came ten mins earlier than expected and it was all absolutely mouth watering. So refreshing to have a takeaway that doesn’t just meet expectations but exceeds them. Best Italian 🙏🏻

Ordered two meals that we ery low quality for 40£ the lobster pasta was.. horrible the order came with the sauce all spilt andbthe driver said sorry for the damage dropped a burning hot bag burning my hands and left

Perfect for us, really good food. Thank you.

This was honestly the best pizza I've had outside Italy. Fresh and authentic base with great quality ingredients on top, which you can see being prepared via the glass counter. The staff are friendly and the smells inside the restaurant are incredible as they cook their delicious food. We had the Hawaiian pizza with added garlic and chilli and sheeps livers, with a side of fries. Everything we ate was fresh and tasty and I can't wait to come back.

👌🏻 chef’s kiss. Delicious food delivered piping hot. Obviously hand made food using fresh and flavourful ingredients as it should be for all Italian food, even down to the little pots of garlic butter dip delivered with the dough balls. cannot recommend highly enough and i am incredibly fussy!

Food was great only issue I had was wrong garlic bread sent. I ordered more expensive with caramelised onions and got basic

Great food, garlic mushrooms, mozzarella sticks and pizzas! 'That's Amore Pizza Pie' is only recommended if you have a BIG appetite!!!

Delivery driver was polite, food was immaculate!! Pizza dough was fresh and kinda sweet I loved it. Will be ordering again, best Italian in Preston💖

The worst service I live 5 mins away and delivery took 2 hours so I refused fair to ssy moment had passed!

Disappointed this time! Forgot chips (this is all my little girl eats so she has no tea) no ham in dough balls and chicken wings tasted burnt! Had a delivery before which was great so maybe it’s not as good at weekend when the restaurant is busy!?

Great service and the food was excellent.

Regular customers. Always great food and service, thank you!

Takeaways are very good, and the coffee and ice cream are welcome after a long walk to earn them, if you eat in the food is excellent.

Me and the Mrs went for our 1 year anniversary, and it was fantastic, great food, fab service and amazing staff 😄 will definitely be going back

Delivery time was far later than advertised when I ordered it, but the restaurant did call me to tell me this and ask if I wanted to pick my order up instead. Great customer service! Pizza was good. The base was gorgeous and crispy. Will order again.

Food was cold bland and tasteless

Should I have received a free garlic bread because my order was over £20?

Amazing food, staff & atmosphere! Highly recommend

Lovely food and excellent customer care

Pizza’s arrived hot from leyland to penwortham. They were delicious

Bit disappointed. First time I had ordered from them and don't think I will again. Lasagne was quite tasty but could have been hotter (temperature not taste), garlic bread was thin and dry and barely warm and Tiramisu was lovely - once it had defrosted fully!

Terrible costumer service, took 20 minutes to arrive and ended up with food poisoning from the calamari do not recommend.

Ordering was easy on just eat. This is our second order recently from Franco’s as we were so impressed with our order a couple of weeks ago. All the food ordered was hot and delicious.

Early delivery which is always appreciated. Meatballs with pasta was good, I’ve had this before from the same company so I knew the recipe wouldn’t have changed. Garlic bread was excellent. Cannoli was purchased to try, it was pretty sweet but a large portion. Good for sharing with someone else. Pretty annoyed that I was charged £1.90 for a can of San Pelegríno orange and received a pre marked can of Fanta that was priced at 75p. Complained to just eat so will see if I get the difference refunded.

Absolutely brilliant. The food was amazing. Good size portions and superb quality. Food was hot on arrival too. Will definitely order from here again.

Delivery lady very pleasant and the food was so good

Beautiful, quality and tasty food. Will definitely be ordering again! 😊

We’ve ordered for a few years from Francos, including prior when they were called La Corte, and supporting them throughout lockdown. Since they became a takeout only service they consistently got our orders wrong. We gave them a one last chance last weekend, but they again left a main meal off our order. After we called they said they couldn’t get a driver available for another 20 minutes, plus the travel time on top. When we declined and asked for a refund for the missing food they told us no, we would have to return the food we have to get a refund, which was just a ridiculous suggestion. Eventually I managed to get them to agree to refund the missing food, however two weeks on we still haven’t received any refund from Francos. The good is great, which is a shame, I would avoid ordering online.

This restaurant is a new find for us, second order and food was superb again. Delivered quickly and piping hot! Thanks guys

Got 6 scoops of ice cream two different flavours to takeaway was put into one little tub and mixed together even taste lemon ice cream what I didn't order due to mixing spoons I also ordered a milkshake what they whipped together in seconds was a bit of a disappointment and didn't feel good value for money

Really tasty and hot on arrival 👍

Lovely family atmosphere, food was plentiful and a high quality . Highly recommend

Food turned up hot and fresh and was thoroughly enjoyed.

The food is unbelievable and Franco himself is an absolute diamond

“Following a complaint last Saturday my wife spoke to the owner, Angela regarding this. Angela was amazing, she listened to our complaint, gave us a voucher and also provided us with her mobile number to ring through another order at our convenience. Angela has certainly gone above and beyond on look after us and for that, we thank her. Franco’s you have shown genuine customer care which is rare. Well done Franco’s” I will also add that I should of contacted you directly and for that I apologise, I suppose it’s very easy to criticise businesses trying to do the best for their local customers again apologies Regards Gary & Sue

Delicious authentic Italian food!

Brilliant from start to finish. Amazing food, quality and incredibly friendly staff - couldn’t rate any higher, the pizzas were to die for!! Thanks so much we’ll be returning soon :)

Always great food and great service

Visited on a cold winter evening. I think Francos is better suited to a meal during Summer. Imagine ab ice-cream parlour...that's Franco's, with Italian food

Pepper sauce like water, pizzas will at last keep your oil heater going for rest of year

Great food again. Hot and tasty.

Lovely cafe. I would go there again.

Slightly disappointed this time to be honest! Pizzas were good but the tiramisu wasn’t like I’d had last time and it’s frozen. It’s an hour after delivery and it’s still frozen now. Smaller portions too from previous. We only got one to share as last time one portion was huge. Shame really.

The pizza was nice. The garlic bread arrived cold and very thin and so crispy that it crumbled when pulled apart. The calamari was cold and soggy and the tortellini was cold also. Very disappointed considering how much it cost.

Food was fantastic, possibly the best cheesy garlic bread we’ve had for years, and chips were even crispy on arrival, which is hard to get right. And each of the pizzas were *chef’s kiss*. Delivery was a touch late, but at peak time on a Saturday night, that’s completely understandable and acceptable for us.

Total waste of money. For the ridiculous amount of money that take out cost the food was pretty much inedible. Goats cheese pizza was ok but uncut & cold on delivery. The stroganoff was tasteless with very cheap tasting meat, fries over cooked & salty. Certainly will never order from here again. Food was on time.

Ordered twice from Francos absolutely amazing food each time, this is now my favourite take out!!! Try it you will not be disappointed.

Disappointed... Dough balls were an add on (not topping) with the pizza so found it bizarre that they were actually on it... the Calamari should never have gone out the door, they were pale and chewy, coating was soggy and seemed very underdone so were inedible..

Ordered delicious ice cream and a pizza

This really is restaurant quality food delivered to your door, hot and fresh! Amazing food, fantastic choices, friendly staff. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Delivery was great. The food was delicious amazing pizza and pasta. Garlic bread is one of the best ever had

Only issue was the pizza was not sliced and I had ordered to my local pub

Excellent food. Tasted great. I recommend the pistachio dessert
