TPS Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Scanned through the thread and not sure if it was answered, but Casa di Pizza moved downtown. The space isn’t as nice, but the pizza still is. Moved out to Snyder a year ago, and I have to say, We weren’t taken by Bocce. Maybe it was a bad day. Frank’s Sunny Italy on Delaware does a nice pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza business is tough in Buffalo with all the competition. ive been getting the wings from the same place for years. They used to be big , plump and juicy. Then a year ago they started getting smaller and more bony. Then the quality wasn't good enough so I had to buy their next step up which is more $$$ happens a lot unfortunately I know what you’re saying, and I’m sure you get this, but TOO big and plump is actually a bad thing in my mind. My favorite local joint in my old home town had good food, but lousy wings. They were super jumbo style and they just never perfected them. Oh, how I miss good pizza and wings....

THAT is where I fell in love with wings. A small house turned wing/pizza joint I think, probably long gone. Details are sketchy other than the great taste of the wings. Oh, my....

No Way! You rank right up there with Bocce Club IMO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Raymondo's pizzeria on East Delavan in Buffalo/Cheektowaga is very good. You have to ask specifically for the "sweet sauce" on your pizza though. Their regular pizza is good, but their pizza with sweet sauce is amazing. The sauce is unreal. They have probably the best honey mustard wings I've had, too. All of their wings are good. Love their BBQ, used to love the hot but my stomach doesn't allow that anymore... Carbone's has great honey mustard wings as well. Good pizza too. Chick n' pizza works also has some good pizza from what I remember. Haven't had them in a while but the last time I did the pizza was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
