    What a disappointment. Used to love this place. Parking lot is busy because they are enforcing zero covid guidelines for staff and guests. There's a sign at the entrance inviting patrons to say they have a medical issue so they go without masks. Not one server or bartender was masked up. If they are so carless with these health and safety guidelines, I'd hate to see their kitchen and other health protocols. We used to love this place but will not go back. Obviously there's plenty of people who are thrilled with their lack of following protocols, but this is a shame for a place we previously enjoyed.

    What a great experience. Wonderful food, great ambiance. My only criticism is about the two guys sitting at the bar being loud and using a lot of expletives in a family restaurant.

    food is usually good, but the last few times my orders have been repeatedly incorrect. i understand a few mishaps, but tonight i had it. when placing my order, the employee was not attentive at all only for me to get my food and it looks like someone stepped on it. very unsatisfied.

    Um, we spent a lot of money ‘cause we purchased a lot of stuff in the comics store. My best advice is not to wander into that section with your firstborn grandson! 😬 He loved the experience. We loved watching him love the experience. We also enjoyed our lunch. They make a very unique old-world style pizza 🍕 that is simply delicious 🤤. We order it double-cheese, double-pepperoni baked Buffalo style and never regret it!

    went yesterday during the game. the waitress's were rude. slammed a cup down on the table to get my attention. bad attitude, I'm not sure which waitress was assign to my table since more than one worked the table. staff seems really unorganized and unprofessional. The one with the heavy eye makeup acted like she didn't want to be there and that customers were bothering her. if you don't want to work with people you shouldn't be a waitress. She came to my table and asked me to order before I even had a menu and had an attitude when I asked for a menu. Rude staff caused you to lose my business.

    A great place to dine with kids. Loud and comic vibes inside. The apps and pizza were delicious and our wait was normal. Overall great stop to eat.

    1/8/23 First time ordered from. Here last time will order from here. No sauce on wings and told the guy 4 times no chicken on pizza you would think spending 80 some Dollard for 20 wing and 2 medium pizza they could have gotten the order right. SO SAD if there calling this grease at the bottom Buffalo sauce. There's not alot of place to eat on Grand island that has both good food and good customer service. Truly regret moving to this area. If you want good food you have to leave the island and pay toll fees leaving and coming back don't move here you will truly be disappointed at the food, customer service and Grand Island as a hole trust me you don't get what you pay for. Wife and I now looking to move to Buffalo, Lewiston or Sanborn any place would be better.

    If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! The atmosphere, service and food is absolutely amazing! We drive 40 minutes to go to Say Cheese, and don't even think twice about it! My only complaint........why have I not gone here years ago?!?!?! Lol We started coming a couple of months ago, and this is our new go to place. Every soup I have tried has been so good! Can't wait to go back!

    Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. I really loved the cheesy gooey goodness of the pizza and the sauce is fantastic. My boyfriend got the Beef on Weck and it was massive and he loved it just wished the vessel for the au ju was bigger to dip the giant sandwich. Fries were cooked to perfection. The Spicy Parm wings were yummy but just slightly dry. Only complaint was the pizza we ordered to go. It was supposed to be a Hawiian Pizza with added Mushrooms and Banana Peppers. Instead it was ONLY mushrooms and banana peppers but we paid for a Hawaiian with extra toppings. It was still delicious tho. We will be back for sure.

    I've been patronizing this establishment since it was a Picasso's Pizza and it's been awesome to see how they've evolved and grown into what they are today. I try to get here at least once a year when I visit from VA and now I love taking my kids here for the food and the incredible comic book atmosphere. Great food, especially the pizza and wings, and you could easily visit just to look around at the collectibles, decorations, and comic book store. A must visit if you're on the Island.

    Really great place to eat pizza peruse the comic book history. Had the "old world" pizza, was a great alternative to the standard cheese/pep. Loved it. Had the blackened BBQ along with spicy Parmesan wings. Service was good. Will be back in the future!

    If you enjoy comic books and food that cannot be mistaken for healthy, this is the place for you! A superhero themed restaurant or a comic book store that serves food, either way it’s a great time. We got the burrito with cool ranch chips on it, and aside from a bit too salty it was delicious! Tater tots were the perfect combination of crunchy on the outside while chewy inside. Well worth the trip!

    Most important thing in a restaurant is the food, that's the reason you really come back, decor is unique and amazing but the food and service were great. Now throw on some cool a$$ comic book and superhero decor .... bruhhh 5 stars

  • 5/5 Geoff R. 2 years ago on Google
    Try to stop in whenever I'm on the island. Great food and there's lots of stuff for the kids to look at and keep them occupied. The huge beef on weck is definitely filling and good. The old world pizza is delicious and the kids loved the cheese bread and wings.

    Great place, great atmosphere, great fries. Awesome place if you like superheroes. Went with family + friends and had a good time. They have a little arcade so bring cash if you want to play some games, had a lot of fun with the racer game. They have a bar if you're into that, as well.

    Fun place for adults who loved comic books as a kid. Lot's of superhero stuff for sale. Has a bar or has a small dining area. Good 🍕

  • 5/5 Em G. 2 years ago on Google
    Unique decor, great service, and amazing wings. Carrie Ann recommended the Artie wings and they were fabulous. Flavorful, crispy, and delicious! Highly recommend it

  • 4/5 Rob M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool ambience if you are into comic book super heroes. A mini gift shop and a large dining area. The staff was very friendly. I enjoyed my Chicken Finger Taco. I would go back and give other menu items a try. Reasonably priced grub.

  • 5/5 Halla L. 9 months ago on Google
    It's absolutely amazing. If you enjoy comics or pizza or both, then this is a must-have. The bbq fries were delicious, and so were the onion rings. I'd die for the pizza, so 😩 Absolutely must try if in Buffalo

  • 5/5 Barbara M. 1 year ago on Google
    All I have to say is... YUMMMMMMM!!!!! The menu has such a variety of food and the price is perfect! Coming from Jersey where we know GREAT pizza, we were not let down! And it's such a lovely day out, and we had the option to sit outside with a nice breeze!! So glad Google didn't let me down with this one!!

    Being a former Buffalo resident, stopping back through town, we stayed the night on the island. We found Say Cheese for an after flight dinner before heading to our hotel. Arriving, we found several seats open and thought, great, we will get in and get out. The food menus was wide with options. We ordered drinks and they were basically room temperature with a few pieces of ice floating at the top. I asked for an additional cup of ice. I ended up drinking half my cup before the ice arrived. We ordered after about 10 minutes of being seated. My wife ordered a salad and my three kids and I all ordered slices of pizza. About 20 minutes later my wife's salad arrived, but the waitress (Gwen) put it in front of me. She also brought the slices for two of my children. We had to wait for Gwen to return so we could ask for forks. She came back with plastic ware as they had no clean silverware. (Remember the restaurant was not full at all). I finished the rest of my drink over the next ten minutes while waiting for my slices. Gwen finally came back and realized I needed a refill. She brought my refill with my two slices and my other child's slice. By this time my wife was done with her salad. After finally getting everyone's food and finishing, we were ready to get out of there. But again waited for Gwen to finish socializing at the bar before she brought us our bill. Gwen was nice. However niceness alone doesn't provide good customer service. Being attentive to your customers and ensuring they get what they order within a timely manner and correctly is a big part of being a good restaurant. Service is one star. Food is two stars. Out of the 6 booths, we sat in one while a single local sat in another. So the place was not busy. I will not recommend or return to this restaurant. It's probably a great place for the drunk loud locals sitting at the bar who return weekly. But this place has no idea how to draw back new customers. I felt like I was in an episode of bar rescue. This place needs help.

    A bit pricey but not a dish on the menu that doesn't justify it. GREAT food and a fun and friendly family atmosphere. Pop in for a slice or bring the family for a full meal. This place is great!

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was fantastic - quick and efficient. The food was amazing! We got the chicken bread app and the huge beef on weck. Both were absolutely delicious. Picture is of the chicken bread - we ate the sandwich too quickly to get a picture! As a big superhero fan, the atmosphere was really cool too with life size statutes and other figurines decorating the whole restaurant. It was also decorated for Halloween, with different statues in costume (Batman wearing bunny ears) which made me laugh!

    Our family loves Say Cheese. I love that the owner loves comic book canon but am sad to see that the marvel stuff is being replaced with his original works. His stuff is really cool and the world needs more super heroes and villains (along with pursuing a creative dream) but my kids ask me who & what the characters are and because I don’t know, I can’t tell them or explain. The food is great, family type food. The pizza is some of the best and I haven’t had any food there that hasn’t been good, whether wraps, tacos, subs, etc. They’re very consistent, too!

  • 5/5 IDragonov 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down one of the BEST pizzas I've had in western New York. The sweet and spice was blended perfectly. You can't beat this when ordered fresh. Must try if you're in the area or no where near.

    Ordered the Knight Club, substituting fries for tots. Food was great with huge portions. Our waitress was great and came back often to check on us.
