New York is known for its pizza, and one Long Island restaurant is bringing their legacy down south.

Frankie’s Pizzeria and Restaurant in Merrick just opened a second location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The sister shop, called Frankie’s East Side Pizzeria, is serving slices via Door Dash, Uber Eats and Slice, for now, with plans to open a full restaurant soon.

Family-owned and operated on Merrick Road, the Nassau County eatery has been cooking up Italian favorites for more than two decades.

The owner made the announcement about the new spot on social media, saying he's got New York roots with a Florida state of mind.
