Franny's Opens in New Location on Flatbush Avenue

For those of you going through Franny's withdrawal since March 24, we've got some good news that will satisfy your needed fix.

The wildly popular artisinal pizza spot has completed its move into larger digson the same avenue, and will begin serving up its clam pies and pistachio citrus salad beginning at 5:30 p.m. tonight.

The new location inside 348 Flatbush Ave., the former Blockbuster site between Sterling and St. Johns places, is twice the size of the old spot two blocks north, allowing the often crowded restaurant to accept reservations for parties of six or more. The new space was slated to have two brick ovens for pizza and a private dining room.

Best of all, the new Franny's is planning to offer lunch, a wider take-out selection and eventually, delivery.

On Monday afternoon, final touches were still being added to the comfortable brick-walled space. Francine Stephens, who owns the restaurant with husband Andrew Feinberg, said construction is now moving forward at the old spot, 295 Flatbush (between St. Marks and Prospect). 

That space will become an Italian restaurant called "Marco's" after the couple's son. The new restaurant in the old space will focus on pasta and have a wood-burning grill and rotisserie, in addition to the pizza oven.

Stephens and Feinberg hope to open Marco's within a few months.
