Roundybout Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Franco's - the official pizza of St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute. I swear we kept that place in business. Fantastic stuff. Leonardi's on Millersport is really good too, but their pie is expensive. I was really excited to try Blasdell Pizza in West Seneca, but I found it pretty meh. Anyone been to Carbone's? Heard its the best in WNY but I don't want to make the trip out there to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food is terrific, give it a try when you come back home. http://gallocoalfire.com/ 22 hours ago, 145B4IDIE said: Brooklyn Bakery -Olean, NY https://www.facebook.com/Brooklyn-Bakery-182053975161590/ Damn! Both of those places look awesome. Since my last great pizza (11/10). I've tried one new place here. Stoner's Pizza Joint. Their use the slogan "Stone Baked Pizza" on their boxes and menu, but I swear I saw one of those conveyer belts you see in many pizza chains. I was immediately turned off by the woman behind the counter, who seemed annoyed at my questions, and not very friendly or knowledgeable about pizza. But I sucked it up and took my chances. Pedestrian, at best. I improved the leftover slices quite a bit, on reheating them later in the week. But never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I blew it! My family is here this’d week for my mom’s 90th BDay. I should have ordered Bocce’s and had it overnighted for game day. We’re having Sahlens hot dogs, but the pizza would have been a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I read an article over the weekend about some startup called Zume Pizza, which is made by robots and cooked enroute to your house so it arrives piping hot.

They still have one on Transit in West Seneca I think near the apple cider mill (Myers?). Santora's/Picasso's (do they have same ownership now?) is my go-to when I visit Lancaster. For some reason it doesn't always agree with me going the other way though - although always also gorging almost exclusively on wings / beef on weck (Franks), Ted's, and Zorba's might have something to do with it Edited November 29, 2017 by stevewin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back to Buffalo to visit folks and go to games 6-10 times each year and always get JustPizza (Center Rd. West Seneca) three cheese steak pizza and BBQ wings. Then another night it’s BarBill for wings, then to Pasquales for cheese pepp. Then Teds. My eyes tell me one thing, and my intestines tell me another. Soooo damn good.

Luka Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Pontillos will always have a place in my heart, considering I worked there for 5ish years. If there weren't so many damn pizza places I would open one myself, loved the work but you've gotta do it for yourself otherwise you make no money lol On 11/10/2017 at 3:54 PM, Augie said: Good eye, I am both. (But I think of Sarasota, FL as home now, and the WNY pizza ex-pats there do the trick for me.) I am an ex=Sarasotian. Moved back home, couldn't take it anymore. Somehow managed to convince my Venice Beach native wife to come with me haha But on topic, Pizza Chef on Fruitville near 75 (plaza with Publix)is amazing. Family is from one of the buroughs I believe. And if you're on the island in Venice, Ntinos. Doesn't look like a pizza place but trust me, order the pizza.

Thanks, I’ll look to check them out when I get back. Pizza Chef (which I️ don’t remember but we’re about 8 years removed) is only one exit from Casa Di Pizza off University which I loved!

His first Pontillos outside of WNY was actually Hawaii, then Gulf Gate. Our guilty pleasure was always the Hungry Howies buffet on University. For the price, I still haven't found anything nearly as good. Sarasota has pretty good pizza actually, Joey D's for deep dish is another stand out. We also liked Dino's on Bee Ridge.

Kelly the Dog Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Casa di Pizza was good because it was a triple threat. Had good pizza, good wings and good subs. They made a good royal sub and some super sub that had mile high meats, not to mention (on Elmwood) a full sports bar attached to it. Wasn't the very best of any of the three but one could pig out on a lot of stuff. A lot of them have all three but are pretty weak on one or more.

Casa di Pizza was a Godsend when they opened in Sarasota...and it just happened to be between my office and my house. Very good food and they had Labatts. I’d take the family there when they came to town. It was almost like going home! Just Pizza also opened in Sarasota, and it just wasn’t good. Then they kept adding more to the menu...and now it’s a Jimmy John’s or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who owned and operated it had a couple in Buffalo, too. That was just weird. There also was a really hot bartender in the bar in that same plaza who was from Buffalo, and right across the street there was a breakfast and lunch place that was owned by a guy from Buffalo that sold Sahlen's hot dogs by the pound so you could cook at home and had a bunch of Buffalo foods on his menu. I heard it closed a few years ago though, maybe around when Just Pizza did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Well.. not really Western NY in terms of Buffalo but I LOVE Pizza Land in Caledonia NY. I rarely get over there but when I do I always stop by. However, IF it has to be in the Biffalo area I really like La Nova on Ferry Street.

The Wings and Weinies (Sahlen's place) was a nasty, greasy dive, and I went there all the time for wings when we lived in Laurel Oak. The one on Fruitville is, I believe, still open.
