I needed to run an errand up in Redmond today, so I called up Carl and
Dave and arranged a quick lunch rendezvous at Frankie's. I've eaten at
Frankie's before, but it has been awhile. Carl, however, is a Frankie's
regular (mainly for dinner). All of the servers at Frankie's know Carl
by name. We received excellent service throughout our meal; probably
because of Carl's charming persona.
For lunch, I ordered up the pizza/soup special and supplemented it with a glass of raspberry lemonade. It wasn't really a lemonade kind of day today (cloudy and overcast), but the description of the beverage intrigued me (freshly made daily on site) and so I ordered one (Carl ordered an ice tea, so I wasn't the only one at the table with a summer drink). The lemonade was delicious. The tomato basil bisque had a hearty consistency - chunky and full of earthy tomato flavor. The soup came in a large bowl filled almost to the brim; I could tell I wouldn't be able to finish it. I ate about half and packaged the rest up to take home for Kristy. The sausage gorgonzola pizza slice (a generous one, perhaps almost a quarter of a medium-sized pizza) arrived at the same time as the soup. The sausage topping was a mild sweet Italian type. It was well matched with the gorgonzola. The pizza sauce was not overwhelming (a plus) and provided a nice compliment to the toppings. The pizza crust was seasoned slightly with some Italian herbs and was quite tasty. The crust had a nice structure, giving the bread a chewy and moist texture. I was very pleased with the pizza and consumed it completely. Summary: Highly recommended.
