As a food enthusiast, there is nothing more rewarding than discovering a restaurant that not only meets your expectations but exceeds them. This was precisely my experience at Uncle Frank’s Pizza and Cocktails in Wantagh. Having visited twice already, I can confidently say that this place has left an indelible mark on my culinary journey.
The Pizza Experience: A Flavorful Symphony
During my visits, I enjoyed trying out two of their brick-oven pizzas: the Margarita and the Butternut Squash pizza. Both were incredible.
The Margarita pizza was a classic done right. The rich tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil were beautifully balanced. Each bite was a delightful blend of tangy, creamy, and fresh flavors, all atop a perfectly charred crust.
The Butternut Squash pizza, on the other hand, was a unique delight. The sweetness of the butternut squash paired with the smoky char from the brick oven created an irresistible flavor combination. It was a refreshing departure from traditional pizza toppings and one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new.
More than Just Pizza: Pasta and Baked Clams
Uncle Frank’s isn’t just about pizza; their pasta and baked clams are equally impressive. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with the sauce complementing it beautifully. It was a comforting and hearty dish that left me thoroughly satisfied.
On my second visit, I decided to try the baked clams. They were a revelation. Fresh, succulent clams baked with a flavorful topping that added just the right amount of crunch. It was a dish that showcased Uncle Frank’s ability to excel beyond their pizza offerings.
A Cut Above the Rest: Better than Charred in Seaford
Having dined at Charred in Seaford, I can say with certainty that Uncle Frank’s has managed to surpass that experience. The food at Uncle Frank’s not only tastes fantastic, but there’s a certain warmth and authenticity to it that sets it apart.
