Downtown Boca Raton is home to a New York-style pizza spot. Frankie & Joe's Pizza describes itself as a modern New York-style pizzeria serving thin and crispy pies, square slices, and classic Italian-American handhelds from a storefront at 199 West Palmetto Park Road.
According to a press release distributed through EIN Presswire, Frankie & Joe's Pizza is independently owned and located in downtown Boca Raton. The release lists the address as 199 West Palmetto Park Road, though a restaurant-listing page includes a Unit A designation at the same street number.
The shop was founded by Joe Colasacco and Frank Lucido. Colasacco is a veteran of the bread-baking and pizza industries with more than 50 years of experience.
What's on the Menu
The pizzeria's offerings center on traditional round New York-style pies, available whole or by the slice, alongside crispy square pizzas, the release notes. Standout items include the Grandma pizza and the Pepperoni Square, according to the same report. The restaurant's website separately describes one offering as a sophisticated pizza with premium toppings, baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven.
Beyond pizza, the menu includes fresh salads and pizza-roll handhelds, per the release. Those handhelds come filled with options like chicken parmigiana, meatball parmigiana, vodka chicken, and sausage and peppers. The lineup of pies themselves spans cheese, Margherita, white pizza, vodkaroni, Grandma, and Pepperoni Square varieties.
Ingredients and Prep
The release emphasizes an ingredient-driven approach, stating that the restaurant uses premium organic tomatoes for its sauce and high-quality whole milk mozzarella on its pies. Fresh pecorino cheese is grated in-house rather than pre-shredded, the release adds. Everything is prepared fresh and never frozen, according to the same source.
That focus on scratch preparation echoes the pizzeria's own self-description. Frankie & Joe's Pizza calls itself a modern New York-style pizzeria in Boca Raton on its website, reinforcing the New York lineage that both founders bring to the project.
For now, the details on hours, opening timeline, and any grand-opening specials have not been independently confirmed beyond what the restaurant and its press materials have stated.
