Frankfort isn’t a pizza town in the way Louisville is, but that’s exactly why you have to know where to go. We spent weeks eating through every corner of the city, from the wood-fired Neapolitan pies at Limewater to the sourdough slices that travel well from Locals.

Some spots, like DaVinci’s, feel like a trip back to your childhood, all checkered-tablecloth comfort. Others, like Bourbon On Main, are best enjoyed riverside with a good pour.

I called ahead at Serafini and was glad I did. Here are the twelve pizzerias worth your time.

I called ahead to book a table, and I'm glad I did. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive and friendly without hovering. The food amazed our whole table.

This place has earned a spot on my regular rotation.
