JoeSchmoe Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I made mention of WNY pizza in another thread. 🤤 In my opinion, pizza from the Buffalo area is the best anywhere. Cup and char pepperoni is the main factor, but the cheese (lots!), sauce, and crust is also the best. Back when i was a kid, Sammy's in the Falls was our family's go to. Up until maybe 15 years or so ago, it was still my favourite, but then the quality dropped off. Since then we've hit Gagsters and Mr B's in the Falls and a whole ton of places around Buffalo but don't have a go to spot yet. The closest would probably be Pearl St Grill, but thats partly due to the location by the arena and my son liking it so much. The chicken finger and the stuffed banana pepper pizzas are really good though. That said, I'm betting there are better places out there, given this is somewhat of a tourist trap. We also really like Tim and Bonnie's pizza in Ellicottville. The steak sub there is probably my favourite too. So let's hear it... School this hungry Canadian on where to go first once the border opens up! 🍕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Buffalo pizza is indeed gold, in my opinion. You can never go wrong with Imperial Pizza which is probably one that many here might mention. My personal favorite is Bocce Club Pizza. I also think Just Pizza is a bit underrated. They've got a slightly different style but the one on Elmwood Ave is consistently so good. I guess I'll do a top five: 1. Bocce Club 2. Bella Pizza 3. Imperial Pizza 4. Just Pizza 5. Carbone's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Buffalo just caught up with everyone. Pizza used to be way cheaper here than anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crust is not greasy but there is def grease from the cheese and pepperoni happening. The fact he only got cheese at Bocce seems weird, you gotta get the peps. As someone who had Bocce cheese pizza a couple weeks ago, it wasn't greasy at all and tasted delicious. They have a sweet sauce and a good crust to cheese ratio going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right temperature is a key to buffalo pizza, you gotta let it cool a little so the grease from the peps reabsorbs a bit and the cheese is just starting to firm up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had francos the other day that was pretty good. Daddios is usually solid. Just pizza is really consistent which i appreciate. Macy's makes some weird stuff but some of those are really good. I got kinda sick of picassos from when i worked at Ingram Micro and that was like THE pizza there - they even sold it in the cafeteria. You couldn't get away from it! It's been a couple of years and I'm still like ehhhh when someone mentions picassos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 In my youth I delivered pizza to ingram micro on occasion. Franco's I always have to tell them extra bake on my pizza or the crust isn't cooked enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
