Franco's Pizzeria & Restaurant | Our Story

A Tradition of Italian Excellence

Franco's Pizzeria & Restaurant has been proudly serving the Marlton community since 1970. Our story began when our father came to America from Italy, bringing with him authentic recipes, a passion for food, and a dream of sharing true Italian flavors. For generations, we have remained committed to quality, tradition, and family values. Every dish we serve is made with care, using fresh ingredients and time-honored techniques that reflect our Italian heritage.
Where It All Began

Where It All Began

In 1970, Franco opened on Route 70 in Marlton with recipes brought from Italy and a belief that good food brings people together. That first dining room never stopped being a neighborhood fixture.
Made from Scratch, Every Day

Made from Scratch, Every Day

Hand-tossed dough, house-made sauce, fresh mozzarella — the kitchen runs on the same principles Franco started with. Every dish, from Chicken Parmigiana to rigatoni, is cooked with the same care as the first one served here.
Tradition with Ambition

Tradition with Ambition

Dishes like Capellini Maradona with jumbo lump crabmeat and Veal Saporito in champagne cream carry the Italian spirit further. Classic techniques, elevated with care.
A Fresh Space, Same Soul

A Fresh Space, Same Soul

A recent renovation brought wooden tables, leather booths, and warm lighting to the dining room — still BYOB, still unhurried, still the kind of place where Tuesday feels like a celebration.

From weeknight regulars to milestone celebrations, Franco's has woven itself into the community's story. That's the part no recipe can teach — it just takes fifty years of showing up.
