Fralo's Art of Pizza Restaurant

My family is not able to get together very often due to major distances between my two sisters, our parents, and me. While visiting my parents in Boerne, my sister suggested we try FRALO'S for pizza. What a good idea it turned out to be!!! Our server, Melanie, was prompt, polite and very obliging to our requests. The other girl helping her was also a credit to your business. Our wait for seating was short because we arrived early on Saturday (9/20/08) evening. The live musician was fun to listen to and did his best to honor my sister's request. Being from the Chicago area, Pizza here is considered an art form. Fralo's lived up to the raves my sister had given it. We had two salads and two pizzas. Everything was delicious, served hot when appropriate, and was worth the price. The atmosphere was relaxing and gave my family and me a chance to have a good time. Thank you for providing some great memories. Please acknowledge Melanie's great service. I rarely write a business but thought you would appreciate being told about our experience.

We read the reviews and we thought it was good, we went there and first they took a loooong time to attend us, they just passed besides us and didn't pay us attention, finally some girl ask what we wnated and we order, they took 1 HOUR!! I am not exagerating, we wait there for one hour to get our food, which by the way wasn't that good, was very salty, very sensible about cheese and sauce, and they didn't cook it long enough, also very expensive!. Add to that they are just kids pretending have a restaurant, I don't have any idea how they got awesome reviews or even prizes unless they do them for themselves. YUCK! I WILL NEVER COME BACK!

Pros: NONE!!!!!!
Cons: ambience, parking, is not clean enough, food, SERVICE etc, etc

Having grown up in a very culinary family & being a chef myself, I am highly critical of every aspect of food service. Fralo's is a delight.

First, the ingredients are fresh & of the highest quality. They use the best of all the ingredients you are used to: tomatoes, basil, & garlic. However, they also artfully employ a host of ingredients less familiar to pizza such as lamb, artichoke hearts, pine nuts, & kalamatas. Even their cheeses push past the standard with pizzas featuring gorgonzola & smoked provolone (including mozzarella di bufala in their salads & starters!).

But Fralo's isn't using semi-exotic ingredients with any pretense. The menu is well thought out. The palette of flavors, whether familiar or exotic, marry fantasticaly with one another. You won't find that the tapenade or chicharron are on the menu solely to impress ''foodies," but because the end result is a balanced, delicious blend of clean tastes. For example, the heavier tastes of the alfredo & applewood smoked bacon on the Pozzi pizza are countered with light new potatoes & the crisp kick of cilantro. The harmony of the Nutty Chicken pizza's earthy, warm flavors offers half a dozen different tastes that leave none of them overwhelmed, even against garlic chicken. NOTE: If it's your first visit, get the Fralo's Sampler or you're doing yourself a disservice.

The only potential snag in my opinion is when the Texas weather doesn't cooperate. The seating is primarily outside at rustic wooden tables. Find the right day/time of day & you are in for a treat. The live music has been performed by pretty good musicians when I've gone. A pie at Fralo's will run you more than Pizza Hut etc. but you ARE getting what you pay for here.

After my first experience at Fralo's, I was stuffed. I had eaten far too much, but when I smelled more pizzas from the kitchen, they still smelled enticing. That is my ultimate test for great food. Maybe one day I'll get enough pizza to try some pasta. Bravo.

Pros: Ridiculously great pizza, fun environment, good live music
Cons: Outside seating in Texas means go a bit later in the evening.

I've been going to Fralos since they've been open and never have I left with a bad taste in my mouth. They've had servers come and go but the same friendly and outgoing attitudes are still there. Frank and Lori pride them self on great service and wonderful food. They'll take time out of a busy friday or saturday night to sit down and get to know their new customers and make them feel like they're part of the "family" that is Fralos. The live music is always a plus when visiting on the weekends, the food always exceeds our expectations, the smiling faces never get old and the outdoor dining allows for a relaxing experience. The five dollar corking fee is well worth it as they provie wine and frosted glasses, ice buckets, they even provide a wine key if you forget yours at home. Every time we come into Fralos we are always greeted by name and a positive attitude that makes us feel that we are the only ones in the restaurant! We've had just about every server wait on us and have loved all of them.

The food is just as wonderful, if not better than the amazing service that is given. Every pizza is made to order and are cooked on a stone oven so that when it reaches your table, it's cooked perfectly. Our favorite pasta is the Ravioli with the creamy sundried tomatoe pesto sauce (which was recommended by our server) and when my family can't decide on which pizza to get, we always know that the kitchen is willing to make a pizza that is half one pizza and half another.

Anytime we have family or friends come in from out of town there's never any questions to where will be taking them.

Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: None
