Franco's Pizzeria and Pub has been a family owned and operated Waltham staple since 1980. All of its food is made the same at Franco's as it would be in the chef's home. It is no wonder that Franco's has won the "Best Pizza in Waltham" award for seven-years-in-a-row as given by Market Surveys of America. Meatballs, veal, chicken and lasagna are just some of the homemade dishes available here. While Franco's has some of the best food in Waltham, people stop by for many other reasons, too. Franco's features the full Massachusetts state lottery, keno machines, pool tables, a 105" projection screen TV, five additional TVs, video games, a stage for local bands, an Internet jukebox with over 200,000 songs, darts and a prize wheel. It also has the only karaoke machine in the area which never gets old with its 86,000+ songs! There are eight beers on tap and pitchers are served well after the kitchen closes at 10 p.m. No worries, if you want something to eat late, plenty of appetizers are still available.
