We've eaten the wood-fired pizza at Francesca's On Chestnut twice and the consistency holds — blistered crust and barely-cooked tomato that makes the alternatives feel like a compromise. The price point makes returning easy, which is exactly the point. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.
