Restaurant Review: Falcone's Pizzeria & Deli

5/6/07 -- OKC, OK - What to do on a Sunday afternoon? Why not some authentic Italian pizza at a locally owned pizzeria! And there is no better place for pizza by the slice than Falcone's Pizzeria & Deli in NW OKC (and coming this week to Bricktown).

Owner Danny Falcone (see photo) is a 2nd generation Italian American, born and raised in the Little Italy district of New York City.

Danny brought his secret family recipes and techniques to NW 67th and N. May Ave. in August of 2006.

Within a couple of months Falcone's (pronounced Fal-coneys) was a hit. The lines were to the door and tables were being turned several times a day for pizza pies, pasta and fat deli sandwiches.

Personally, our family favorites are cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, any of the fresh salads and the chicken cutlet parmigiana sandwich. For dessert you can't miss with any of the flavored Italian ice (cherry, lemon and chocolate) or tiramisu!

To top it off, how many restaurants do you go to in OKC where the owner serves you and even walks around the tables and genuinely seems interested in the dinning experience of his patrons.

Today I did two slices of pizza (cheese and pepperoni), a house salad and lemon ice. The wife, mom and dad each had cheese pizza, house salad and Italian ice.

As always the pizza was hot and fresh.

Danny sat down for a second and shared the progress on the new Bricktown location.

The new location will open this Friday and promises the same high quality foods with just a slight increase in prices over the original Falcone's.

Danny seemed particularly delighted in the outdoor dining and canal view the Bricktown location will offer.

Best of luck to Danny and we can't wait to try the new restaurant on one of our weekend trips to the movies.

Falcones has the worst customer service I have experienced in a long time. We were there (Sat. 2-2-08)for 50 minutes waiting for our pizza and when I went to find out how long it would be, they were unable to produce my ticket order and one guy making the pizza yelled, ma'am we will get to your order when we can, we have 20 orders right here! I immediately asked for my money back and we left and went to Hideaway pizza and got our pizza in 15 minutes. Also, my husband went to get his nasty tossed salad that he ordered and he heard one of the guys tell his employees he was ready to fire them. Right in front of customers. Real professional!
