What can I say about this place? The Cheese Steak Sub is bland and taste less I have rode passed this place numerous times and never thought to stop in until I saw a YouTube video of someone giving a review of this place the reviewer tried the Cheese Steak Sub which looked good and big when I ordered it with everything including cheese ( which they forgot) my onions weren't fried but translucent the steak didn't look brown but an off color took one bite and knew this wasn't it for me didn't like the taste of it wasn't as big as the person who reviewed it my coworker and I went in after work she said she didn't like it either and told her maybe next time we will try the wings and Pizza as that was a big seller went in ordered Wings and Pizza I asked for Garlic Parm they said they don't sell it anymore and I looked like" Wow!" Okay give me your mild with fries my coworker got pizza and Wings we left she went home and I went home the Wings weren't no where what I thought sauce at the bottom I had too add more sauce of what I had at home the fries looked like someone grabbed a hand full and toss them in the bag.I gave them two chances and failed but I will no longer spend my money on bland tasteless food as my taste buds are different from everyone may be good to some but bland and missed the mark for me I will take my chances some where else on the mark they get one ⭐️ star from me and I am being modest at best but the YouTuber who reviewed this place straight up lied he may have been nice and didn't want to hurt feelings as before he came in to review they were on the verge of closing but I am closing on them and never returning to Frank's Pizza and Pasta on Belair Road you had two chances and again failed at it and get some updated menus besides what's on the counter and update what's on the wall what you no longer sell and what you do sell besides tape on the only menu of what you don't? Instead of the " Owner!", getting in his feelings and going through comments and adding his thoughts maybe take the criticism of paying customers and listen and change some things and make it better and taste better I do understand that you guys be busy on some days but too take order's and still mess up that says plenty and you sent out on personal phones a survey of one experience of likes and dislikes and what can be done better why send it out and don't like the results you get? If you have time to go through comments and reply back then that means you have time to...

An unassuming strip mall houses this family-run pizzeria, in business for 40 years, but only recently discovered by Tik-Tokker Dave Portnoy, a pizza aficionado who rates pizzas on a score of 1-10 on his “One Bite” show. He declared this one a worthy contender. I understand there are fans who map out and make a pilgrimage to locations listed by Portnoy but I’m not one of them. However, when my husband informed me there was supposed to be a great pizzeria not too far from us we made the half hour drive inside Baltimore’s beltway to the Overlea neighborhood. Along the way, I learned this particular pizza had received an 8.3 review.

We arrived at 1pm on a cold January weekday and found a long line, but thankfully it moved quickly. There are 2 menu boards hanging on the right wall, but there are no prices listed. We ordered a large (16”) Supreme pizza: pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onion, mushroom, ground beef, black olives and extra cheese. Also ordered were a small (12”) Margarita pizza, and Frank's Special Steak sub: mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, sauce, hold the green peppers. At $67, it's not cheap, but we took the entire steak sub and the small pizza to-go, so this covered 2 full meals. Our group of 3 settled into a booth in the limited seating area and we watched the kitchen staff moving efficiently during our short wait.

I found the pizza extraordinary—and the steak sub even more so. The steak sub was accompanied by a serving of tomato sauce, but it was not needed. This was quality meat served on a roll with the right amount of crunch, and the sub’s cheese sauce had a delicate taste-- not like that yellow “Wit” that I avoid on Philly cheese steaks. The Supreme pizza had a very nice sturdy crust to support all those flavorful toppings. I’m “Team Sub,” and not the pizza enthusiast that my husband is, but it’s certain that we’ll be back. I’m ordering that steak sub again and want to try the cold cut. My husband said he’s returning for the pizza, that it was one of the best he’s had in a long time.

Before heading out we chatted with Armando, the pizzeria founder. He approached us to apologize for the wait and said they’ve been slammed since the rating video was posted. He was a charmer, regaling us with his family’s background story, their emigration from Naples and participation in international pizza competitions. This family-run eatery is poised to become well-known beyond their own...
