"Frantonio's is the best! I drive 15 min to get a good sandwich and soup. My kids are picky with pizza and LOVE the pizza. I've had food catered and it's always delivered so perfect and the food tastes amazing. I always hear wonderful feedback from people at parties asking where is this food from?. This is a Family Owned and Operated Business. They put there pride and joy into everything. I cant say enough about this place. Just so yummy. Thank you for being a place that's just makes the best of the best."

"Been going here since I was a little kid. Great lunch spot with many options, including gluten free for those loved ones with allergies. Staff is always lively and kind. Deli meats sliced fresh and hot items are made to order. Portions are almost too large to eat in one sitting. Perfect place for a quick sandwich or a bowl of pasta."
