OMG! Their Tuna slice is iconic and sublime. I prefer mine with some raw red onion and extra vinegar. It really is one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Really great thin crust pizza. Salad was standard house salad but the tiramisu was out of this world. Super fresh and just right. Definitely leave room for dessert.

Grew up in lower Westchester but had never been to Gianfranco's before tonight and feel as though I've been missing out!! Both the service and food were great. Chicken francese was delicious- the house salad and sauteed spinach were solid choices, and homemade bread was perfection. Will definitely be back!

This pizza place is famous for the TUNA SLICE! It is amazing. I heard they sell 40 tuna pies every day. Like to try something different try the tuna. The other slices are good too.

Tuna Pizza here is amazing. Which seems to have finally gone out on blast. I got an email today 2-23-26, from Eater NY. Subject : Tuna! Salad! Pizza! — and other best dishes NY editors ate last week. I have never seen or heard of anything like it elsewhere. Consistently the same awesome salad pie, no cheese but a thin layer of sauce, since I first had it in the mid 90's

Nice little pizza shop with all the classics, some unique delicious items and tons of desserts as well. They have average prices, ample seating and delivery, and friendly staff. Will definitely be back for more. What really caught our eye was the tuna salad pizza that is dairy free but still pretty good, being really good option for lactose intolerant pizza fans. Garlic rolls were also quite good. They also have stuffed garlic knots (slider knots) which were quite interesting and nice.
