    We ordered a pizza today and it was absolutely disgusting. Delivery was pretty quick considering the busy weekend but once the food arrived, it was completely raw, cold and inedible. One of the worse slices I've had in my life. When we called, the employee was apologetic and accommodating but said we needed to send back the pizza in order to get another. Luckily we didn’t throw it in the garbage (where it belongs). We are new to the area and will never, EVER, order from here again. I plan on sharing this with colleagues and friends so they don’t waste their time. Update: After waiting another two hours for a new pizza, they sent another raw pizza! Absolutely terrible service and disgusting food. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!

    We came for wings and pizza and we left very happy. We tried the teriyaki and the kicking bourbon molasses flavors on the wings and they were delicious. We also had some chicken and broccoli pizza which was yummy!

    Recommended on the wing tourist wing guides, my brother, Jhony Onist, a local, also recommended this place to pop in for the authentic Buffalo experience. Pizza and wings were delicious. The key is the get the "pit" or "BBQ" wings as they are fried and then grilled. Delicious. The pizza is Brooklyn/Buffalo style, which is thicker than typical NY style but thinner than Chicago style. I highly recommend.

    The Hawaiian pizza is delicious. The cherries, pineapples and sauce combination has a unique and interesting taste. The Honey and garlic crust leaves your fingers sticky. I look forward to trying a different pizza.

    BEWARE::: THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS UNSAFE If you want to be in an open air drug market with dope fiends, illegals and refugees and don't care about your safety this is the place. Drug addicts buying dope, a "behavioral health" center, meth clinic, shelters are right here. The man Tony was nice. The pizza did not taste anything like Pizza. I purchased two slices because I was excited to have "NY Pizza". The total investment for two slices was more than $10 I rate restaurants on CLEANLINESS BATHROOMS TEMPERATURE OF FOOD SERVICE FOOD PRICE vs QUALITY CLEANLINESS It looked clean BATHROOMS Didn't use the bathroom TEMPERATURE OF FOOD It was heated in the brick oven SERVICE Tony was very nice 👍🏾 FOOD - GREASY. NO SAUCE. UNDERCOOKED Horrible. I had the white Pizza. It was $5 with taxes. The cheese was weird... and nestled with were uncooked onions and uncooked tomatoes...There were a combination of cheeses but not top quality. The cheese didn't move and didn't melt after it was heated... Horrible. I had a slice of cheese. It was over $5 with taxes. I don't know how anyone can f up a slice of cheese pizza. The pizza has no sauce and sesame seeds... on pizza. I should have taken photos during the consumption process but I literally took three bites and threw it in the trash outside of the restaurant. GOOD vs QUALITY Nah. The prices should have been less but like any other immigrant that opens in a Black neighborhood, the underclass is always exploited with price gauging. PRICE GAUGE Dinners were $30 Subs were $17.99 Bread sticks $6+ I also saw items on the menu for $50+

    Best pizza I have ever had. Came for the wings, but the pizza was what blew me away. Very cool to visit a local Buffalo favorite.

    Good place for pizza 🍕 my daughter likes the place, it was also recommended by my coworkers when I came to Buffalo as one of the top pizza places in the city. You can tell there's a lot of history here, by looking at the pictures on the wall.

    This is not authentic New York pizza, it’s “Buffalo NY’” pizza. It big slices of greasy nasty. And they use provolone, Yuck. Ice cold rubber wings with no sauce. $70??? Glad I don’t ever have to eat this garbage again and call it good.

    After we stopped by La Nova. Came here after 10 pm and man it was busy. We found some street parking and headed in. Tons of delivery drivers and tons of to go orders. Easy to order, just walk in, get your slices, they heat it up and you eat there or take it to go. We ordered the Steak, Buffalo Chicken and Pepperoni. Another good spot to eat in Buffalo.

    A friend recommended this place for good wings, good pizza, and local atmosphere. It delivered on all fronts. Pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling, local rock and roll radio station blaring, absolutely delicious wings, lots of choices for hot slices, slightly gruff guy behind the counter whom you respect and fear just a little bit.

    Finished half the pizza before we got around to take a picture. Went with cheese with the garlic crust and if you’re a garlic fan always do that. Yum. Thanks for a quick delivery and tasty meal.

    Bright lights, the oven is hot and a full staff hustling in the back! The action is happening, La Nova making plenty of noise slowly pushing it all out. Wings fried and then chard, combining the best of both wing worlds. Sesame seed, old world oven crust , cheese stringing like a spider’s web.

    The BBQ chicken wings are absolutely amazing. The garlic bread is a large serving and was warm and delicious. The quality of the food is super consistent especially at this location.

    Great food... Was visiting from SWFL to see family and my Godfather and Godbrother wanted to meet/eat here and it was awesome.

  • 5/5 Diego Santos j. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this pizza place. If your hungry for a tummy filling meal this place will do the job. The pizza is super tasty and when they put the sesame seeds on the crust, Ooh My is that a TREAT… The selection of different topping pizza is amazing.. The staff is on their toes making sure to take care of the customers.. The dining area is a nice size that not tight at all.. being from NYC this place reminds me of a busy pizza joint in NYC.. I love this place and anytime I’m close enough to stop by “I do”.. Keep up the GREAT JOB GUYS… 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

    This restaurant was recommended as a great place to take a group and wow it didn’t disappoint! It’s local and family owned. The fish was fresh and delicious, pasta was homemade and mouth watering. I’m back in town in two weeks, and already booked my reservation!

    Great place to dine in or take out. We ordered out and seen the dining area and decided to stay and eat with our 6 year old and they were accommodating and great. Love the variety. People were great. Good spot to chill.

    Asked for medium sauce on side. So they give me the frostbite chicken fingers that were so rubbery. Sick of this place thinking they are good. Also, why do you put the hot chicken fingers on top of the fries which are now soggy with everything else that arrived an hour after. God awful. I’ll prolly be on the toilet the remainder of the bills game. Thank you !

    This has to be the best pizza store I've ever eaten yet! Better than anywhere in America, better than the locals stores in Italy. Every pizza here is a solid 10/10, extremely thin and crispy base, crispy crust, lots of cheese on any pizza, and sesame or sunflower seeds on the crust. Incredible taste, recommend their pizza anytime. The interior of the restaurant is incredibly well designed, perfect for an instagram post or just a place to hang out. TVs to watch baseball, great designs on the lighting and interior. The service is great as well!

    I come in and ask for 2 blue cheese dips and the guy jokingly asks :"That's it???" I replied yes. He rings me up for $3.24, which is fine, but as I was leaving, a white woman comes in asking for 2 large sides of blue cheese and he gives them to her at no charge.🤬🤬🤬It is not a race thing, but what is the difference?🤔🤷‍♀️It was a slap in the face and bad customer service. What's good for one should be good for another, unless it was an isolated incident, but to do it right in my face...I spend a lot of money on wings there and after this, I really don't want to spend another penny there so...🤷‍♀️

    Posting this just to make you guys aware. I always come here and never have had an issue! Came in tonight for slices and found melted plastic in my pizza!

    Ordered 2 Slices of Chicken Finger Pizza on Tuesday. Went back to order a Whole One on Wednesday because the slices were so good... Unfortunately, the experience wasn't equally delicious. I'll still go back but, with lower expectations. The whole pie wasn't bad it just wasn't nearly as good as when I had it the day before. I'll return for an update on my next trip.
