Franchetti’s

Franchetti’s Crosby is officially closing its doors on 21/03/26

Before we switch off the ovens for the final time, we just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s passed through our little corner of L23 over the last 6.5 years — for the laughs, the chaos, the endless orders, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together.
You made this place more than a restaurant.

We’ve loved serving you — arguing about pineapple on pizza, watching kids grow up, hosting date nights, hangovers, celebrations, Mike Knowler DJing, Backyard Balearic and everything in between.

While the doors may be closing… the memories, the flavours, and the questionable jokes from behind the counter will live on forever 🍕
A very special mention to my big sister — an absolute tower of strength throughout this journey. Your practical thinking, constant support, and belief kept us going more times than you’ll ever know.

Max - what a legend and restored my faith in people ❤️ we couldn’t have done it without you - good luck with your new venture at Piccola Litherland.

And an extra special mention to all the criminals we encountered along the way — now that we’re closed, karma can finally do its thing 👊

Grazie mille from the bottom of our hearts.

The Franchetti Family

Ode to the Pizza

Oh, noble creation of fire and stone,
Born from the hands of the artigiano, alone.
With flour and water, a symphony begins,
A canvas of dough where true art spins.

The touch of an artisan, deliberate, refined,
Transforms the simple into the sublime.
Tomatoes, like rubies, their essence impart,
A masterpiece painted with the brush of art.

Mozzarella, soft pearls, in their creamy embrace,
Dance with basil leaves in a tender space.
A drizzle of oil, liquid gold in its flight,
Crowning the pizza with shimmering light.

In the oven’s glow, a fiery ballet,
The crust awakens in a passionate display.
From humble origins to a table’s delight,
The artigiano’s craft ignites the night.

Oh, pizza, you are more than mere fare,
You are the art of love, beyond compare.
A timeless testament to hands that create,
The artigiano’s gift, a dish to celebrate.
