My absolute top spot for pizza!! Fresh, cheesy, slightly sweet sauce = delicious. I've been eating here since elementary school, and the quality and flavor hasn't changed. Their mozzarella sticks and garlic knots are yummy, but a regular slice (or two) is my favorite! Even when it's busy, the staff is extremely efficient at taking, making and bringing out orders. The staff is also friendly, and there's always a decent amount of employees working. Plenty of space for dining in, and it's very clean. Everything on the menu seems to be reasonably priced, and they send coupons out as well!

I work right around the corner from this location, and out of desperation, have ended up here more than I'd like to admit. From my experience, it seems they can only manage to do one thing -- make decent pizza -- and only part of the time at that. Their quality control might as well be the inspiration behind Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold". At least, my takeout slices tend to waiver between both, depending on what I order and who's working the ovens. Typically, I've noticed the thicker "gourmet" style slices tend to be under-warmed.
The prices are also pretty steep. My plain slice and specialty white cauliflower square came to $7.50 alone. As for their sub sandwiches and entree dishes, I'd skip them. I've had a sandwich that left me feeling not so hot in the past, and their pasta dishes always have a watery sauce that doesn't cling to the noodles what so ever. The chicken rolls are dry and boring and garlic knots are okay, but you could easily find better.
Some of the guys that work here are nice, but everyone's always sort of putzing around and joking with each other because they often schedule more workers than needed. Either that or their chatting up the new waitress of the month that'll be gone before you can say "extra cheese".
It's nothing to rustle your Jimmie's over. Just don't expect much from this place. -

Cool place, bright, clean, and spacious. Food is well prepared. I had a buffalo chicken whole wheat wrap and my wife had a cheese calzone, both meals were excellent

Commercial joint suitable for a quick stop on Route 17. Nothing to write home about. Just about what I expect highway pizza to be.
Mostly, junior likes this sort of grease slick so I don't quibble.
As for me. My Manhattan and Brooklyn roots and pizza experiences from the 50's and 60's sets a standard that the average slice just can't satisfy.
Glad to have been of service for my little guy. Not sure I would try it again. -

Anthony Franco's is not my go to pizzeria in Paramus. I like it and I order here every once in a while when with friends or if I feel like changing it up at home.
The pizza is fine. Pretty standard. I like their specialty pies. The Philly cheesesteak is good and the baked ziti pie is good too. Margarita and plain are just ok.
Don't really love it but don't hate it either. Prices are reasonable and quality is on par with that. Nothing really wows me here.
