Franco Pizza Bar

Busy place with friendly staff. The portion size of my pasta dish was smaller than I expected (more of an entree size than main) but tasty. Hubby's pizza (zucchini and pesto) was delicious. Would like to return with a few more people to ensure we sample a bit more of what's on offer.

Franco Pizza in Thirroul has really stepped things up with their great new additions to the menu — there’s genuinely something for everyone. So many great starters it was hard to choose! I tried the new Franco 2.0 pizza and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The kids loved their pizzas and pasta as well, which is always a win. The dessert options were another highlight, with plenty of tempting choices to finish off the meal. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a great, relaxed vibe that makes it an easy favourite for a family night out. Highly recommend!

We dined at Franco Pizza Bar in Thirroul on Saturday night, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The service was impeccable and the food absolutely outstanding, every dish was beautifully executed, fresh, and full of flavour. Highly recommend the burrata with prosciutto and honeycomb, the tuna ceviche, and the seafood linguine. And of course, the woodfire pizzas are the GOAT, the dough is perfection: full of flavour, cooked just right, and topped with a balanced ratio of high-quality ingredients to the crispy crust. They may have lost their Hat in 2024, but they’ve definitely gained a heart. While we were dining, a man came in who was clearly down on his luck and asked if they had any food. The team handled it with incredible compassion and discretion, rather than turning him away, they quietly chipped in and covered two pizzas so he could eat. It was such a genuine act of kindness that really moved me. Who needs a Hat when you have heart? Franco, you’ve got both in my book.

First time dining here tonight, was pleasantly surprised at just how good the service was compared to what has become normal at many other places. Friendly, fast and attentive at all times. The food was excellent - plenty of choices for shared entrees. Pizzas were beautiful. Cocktails were perfect. Desserts lovely. Will be back and soon.

Delicious food at Franco. Only took a couple of photos but had plenty more. Scallops, zucchini flowers, garlic flat bread and the burrata along with margarita pizza and steak with chips salad. Wine and cocktails yum and very attentive staff. Thank you for an awesome lunch today !! We will return again.

Down here for my hubby and my birthdays . Met up with local friends who recommended this restaurant. We had an absolutely delicious meal. Both the pasta and pizzas were amazing as were the calamari and zucchini flowers . The service was excellent and I’d like to single out our lovely French waitress ( sorry I forgot to get her name) who was very attentive and provided exceptional service .Though generally not partial to alcoholic beverages I really enjoyed the delicious lemon cello (made on the premises ) and offered by our waitress. I may actually now be a convert ! Thank you again .

One bite and I was absolutely blown away by their prawn pizza! The prawns are fresh and perfectly bouncy, and that special sauce is truly the soul of the dish—it elevates every flavor to a whole new level. The octopus pairing is another highlight. The refreshing sauce keeps it light and not greasy at all, making each bite so delightful that you just can’t stop eating. And I have to mention their Tiramisu cocktail rich aroma, perfectly balanced sweetness, not overly sugary or heavy. It’s like the perfect marriage of a classic dessert and a touch of boozy indulgence. Absolutely amazing!
