Welcome to Frank & Helen’s Pizzeria

Since 1956, Frank & Helen’s has been a family tradition in University City. Over the years, our pizza, entrees, and Broaster chicken have remained the favorites of our loyal customers. Children who grew up with us now introduce us to their families, and they are happy to find the food is just as good as they remember it (if not a little better). The devotion of our customers fills us with pride as we fill your plates in the same manner that we learned over the years. Frank Seitz, his wife Betty, and his sister Helen began a tradition that has been passed along to us. In keeping with this family tradition, and with our care and guidance, we pledge to keep Frank & Helen’s a place to find good food and good friends in a relaxed family atmosphere.

GENUINE BROASTED CHICKEN

JUST WHAT IS GENUINE BROASTED CHICKEN? Genuine broasted chicken seems similar to fried chicken, but the preparation and cooking process differs greatly. Our hand-selected chicken is first marinated in a special blend of spices up to 12 hours, and then it is lightly breaded in a carefully blended flour mixture. It is finally cooked under pressure in a unique commercial Broaster so that the oil we use never permeates the skin. The chicken, in turn, cooks from the inside out. It is seared and sealed instantly, creating a crispy-battered skin, yet the meat retains moisture and tenderness.

HOW DO I ORDER GENUINE BROASTED CHICKEN?
We offer it three ways:

(1) CHICKEN DINNER Half of a chicken, a house salad or soup and your choice of a side dish or pasta 14.29 | Substitute a Caesar for 1.00
