Did the Fredo's tonight, food was good, fresh, upscale-ish. Biggest problem is location which seems even smaller than it was before. It felt packed with less than 20 people in there, 2 of which had babies, and one was a party of 8 with 4 adults and 4 kids. Not sure why all those people didn't just go to one of our many mexican places because this place is just not for kids. With an adult-only crowd, it would be ok.

The food was... um, different. Is there such a thing as "california italian?" That's how I would describe it. I think best advice would be to order a pie to go, and when you pick it up you can kinda check out the place and try their food at same time.

I apologize for picture quality of the food... i need a new phone, i have the same blackberry for over 3 years now. One is a lasagna (note the green pesto on top) and other is a one-half order of Frutti Di Mare (a seafood, pasta, sauce dish). The sauce needed something... when i asked for red pepper, the guy kinda looked at me like i was speaking greek. But that is what it needed. The bread served before dinner is basically their pizza dough baked with italian herbs and spices on it and served with a marinara, both of which were good (but nothing compared to napoli's garlic knots).

And the menu scans are sort of weird because the paper menus are black print on a greyscale background, but if you zoom in, you can read ok.

My bottom line is, hello napoli's and thank you for being here (i prefer their ricotta, mozzarella, bread), and best wishes and good luck to Fredo's. The location just sort of kills it for me.

Edit: I just noticed they have a website for Terrell location, I believe menu is same though for Forney, not sure.

oh, sorry... its over by walgreens, closer to care united? there was a chicken place there before (pollo something), next to a nail salon.
And btw, wife said she could still smell the nail salon, i didn't
certainly not as much as the pollo place.

I created an account just to post about this place...I was going to start a topic but since one is already going...

The BEST pizza I've ever had. Better than the one I had on a business trip to Rochester, NY many years ago that had for years been my all-time fav.

The "Genovese" with Pesto, Carmelized Onions, and Chicken was out of this world. I couldn't get enough. I eventually stopped myself on a large just so my wife could taste some. Putting in the box to take home was actually a difficult event.

I went not expecting too much... I found the "go to" place for pizza in this town. Outstanding. The waiter told me, "It isn't Domino's, is it?" ...No, sir, it is not.

Have to agree that the bread is nothing special nor is the marinara sauce, but my only focus is that sweet, sweet, pizza.... Oh, and I didn't smell the nail salon at all, but I don't really know what a nail salon smells like.

As for the Napoli's comparison... the ambiance is much better at Napoli's for sure. Garlic knots better than bread and marinara, but there is absolutely NO comparison in their pizza. None. Napoli's reeks of generic...Fredo's is unique, fresh, and not been there done that like Napoli's.

I pretty much agree with l8 about the place. We went there for my son's b-day. Good service, pretty good food, (a tad pricey for us but it was a special occasion), intimate (real estate speak for small), and no salon smell. We will go back as our budget allows.

I would absolutely go get a large two topping for $8 they advertise to go and try that because I can see where it would be better than most. And I don't care for napoli's pizza either.

I could smell it when the old place was in that location but not now (my wife is hypersensitive or she convinced herself she was *going* to smell it)... as for what it smells like, think maybe model airplane glue crossed with sharpie and paint?
