    Believed to be the first pizzeria in Michigan. Thin crust, REAL cheese, the BEST pizza anywhere!! They have been here since 1949. The other Fricano restaurants are off-shoots of this one-the ORIGINAL

    • Q:

      Did Fricano's change their pizza crust?

      A:

      Our famous pizza crust has remained unchanged for 70 years. Depending on the toppings you choose and oven temperatures, there can be some variability.

      Is this place closed? We tried calling a few times today, and each time the number was disconnected. Called number posted on Yelp and Google.

      A:

      Don't know about the phone number but they are definitely open, just not until 5pm

      Umm, it's Fricano's. If you have gone, go! Cheesy, crispy crust while softer on the inside. I've been to the Grand Haven and Holland locations, and they are consistent, however I live in Grand Haven so they get the edge . That's just the pizza. The ambiance is very homey and laid back. 70's-early 80's vibe. Enjoy!

      First time at the Grand Haven location. They only serve pizza here, but it is the classic, gooey, greasy thin crust pizza that Fricanos is famous for. They were busy but our server was quick and got our food out to us in a jiffy. The restaurant is basically an old house, it's been open since the 1940's. It gives it a homey and quaint feel. Highly recommend any of the Fricanos locations!

      Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. Fricanos has the unique ability of being both wonderfully nostalgic and wonderfully delicious. The menu is simple. It's pizza. If you want an appetizer, you can grab some chips off the wall. They have a full bar and you can still get a cocktail for under $10 which is virtually unheard of. There's wine and beer available too and if and if you're feeling fancy they'll even bring you a glass. This place is an institution. A common thread that weaves together so many collective memories of good pizza and cherished time spent with those enjoying it..

      Best pizza in Michigan, best pizza ever in my honest opinion. Have to get the "EBA" can't beat it. Service always great and friendly. It's a home feeling and the building hasn't changed which makes it amazing

      We wanted to revisit Fricano's after a number of years has gone by. As usual Fricano's has not lost its Pizza making ability. It is a no frills, no nonsense restaurant. The pizza has not changed since they opened in 1949! Thin crust pizza pie made your way. On the menu are pizza one size and cocktails, beer, sodas and water. Such a simple concept and it works, drawing customers from all over Western Michigan. Open 4:30-9:00 Monday -Saturday, plenty of parking

      Cute place. Pizza was just gross. Left me with an after taste reminiscent of soap. It's a shame they won't use better quality ingredients and cook it properly.

      Best pizza I've ever had. We live in Boise, Idaho. We traveled to my home town of Allegan summer before last and stopped in to have pizza. First time we'd been since the 1970s. It was exactly the same. The food, the atmosphere, the crowd waiting to get in. It was like taking a step back in time!
