A good pizza place! when you can put a note in, they follow through with it. I asked them to make a heart shaped pizza for my girlfriend and they knocked it right out of the park. It came and it made her smile! Thank you!!

Originating while Sicily was under Arab rule beginning in the 9th century, arancini are a popular Italian street food made of bite-sized breaded and lightly fried spheres of risotto. They literally mean “little oranges” from the fact that, after being fried, they resemble the shape and color of small oranges.
Named after one of the owner’s grandmothers in Italy, I decided on lunch at Francesca Pizza and Pasta, located on Market Street in Elmwood Park. Upon entering this small, clean, and informal eatery after my visit of 5 years, I was greeted by Salvatore, one of the owners.
Their menu features rice balls, pizza, pasta, wraps, and sandwiches using original homemade family recipes except for the chicken nuggets and French fries. I decided on the Baby Spinach Arancino and Regular Arancino with the beef and cheese.
When one bites into them, you’re met with layers of flavor and texture. First comes the crispy outer layer, followed by a creamy risotto, and finally a center of melted cheese. Their homemade marinara sauce complemented the rice balls, which were deliciously tasty and the right serving portion.The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. The price was comparable to the area.
I can recommend this place.

Francesca Pizza and Pasta in Elmwood Park, NJ. Wow this pizza shop has some amazing pizza but make sure to check out their apps too! My favorites were the mozzarella sticks, eggplant rollatini but their MVP pie was 10/10! Super airy crust but held the three sauces (pesto, vodka and tomato) super well. Everyone who works here is super nice and they are so attentive! I loved this NJ

Decided to get lunch from this restaurant. I ordered the chicken cutlet honey mustard wrap. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and the place was super cute. The food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in the wrap was pretty good. I enjoyed the honey mustard on the wrap. All in all hada good experience!
