    Quattro formaggi
    Karla S.

    We ordered over the phone for pickup and seemed like it was organized but when we went to pick it up 30 min later, the order was never transferred from the bar to the connected pizza store. They slapsticked it together and just felt rushed and undercooked. Not impressed after such good reviews.

    Vodka 2.0. Amazing
    Tony C.

    Wow. What an amazing place. Went here twice in the last week because the pizza was so good. Ordered several different pies and wings and all were absolutely fantastic. The Candyman is a perfect wood fired pepperoni with that sweet heat of the hot honey added. For you ricotta, meat and hot banana pepper fans (one of my fav combos) the vodka 2.0 absolutely delivers. The loaded margherita was so unique and had the perfect ingredients of each topping on it. Mine and the tables favorite was the Quattro formaggi. So creamy and funky with the addition of blue cheese. Wings were cooked perfect. Went with the cattleman's and flaming garlic parm. Garlic parm are some of my go to wings but sometimes they lack flavor. I tend to drag them in a side of hot sauce when I order. These accomplished that with the sauce on them. Perfect amount of heat. Cattleman's were delicious if you like that flavor. Decor and atmosphere are very nice, and the tap list and mixed drink list has something for everyone. Owner Vinny and waitstaff were a 10/10. Our waiter was hustling all night and extremely attentive. If you haven't been here yet and have been eyeing it up, get here, you are not going to be disappointed.

    Came here for a special whiskey pairing dinner and had a great experience! The food was great. The pizza is brick oven style, and I really enjoyed both pizzas I tried (their cheese and pepperoni, and another with bacon, blue cheese(?), and walnuts). I also really enjoyed their salad and some fried appetizers they served. Drink selection was creative too. I ordered a loganberry cocktail which was delicious. They also have a bunch of beers to choose from as well. Service was fantastic too. Everyone was very friendly, drinks were made quickly, and food came out hot and often too. Cool atmosphere. Great place to hangout with a few friends, or enjoy a sit down pizza dinner.

    Decided to give the pizza a try, it was decent, but didn't really hit the spot for me. I'd give a 3.5 if we could. The sauce was a little sweet for me, and it seemed like the flour used for the dough was maybe a mix that had some brown flour included? Just wasn't overall my taste. It was well cooked, and I like how much basil was on it as I feel some places skimp. As for the ambience, typical local WNY bar feel. People were really congregating near the entrance for some reason with their drinks, which was odd. I did take out as my normal place was closed at it was later in the evening, so can't comment too much on the service, but the pie was ready fast after I ordered and the person who was at the counter was pleasant. Overall I likely wouldn't return as as the flavor overall just wasn't my taste, but I can see why some people like it so much.

    Pepperoni pizza!

    I was looking for a pizza place in the area and found this place during a Google search. It was a weekday night around 8pm and there was only one other table there. We ordered our food, the menu isn't as inventive as I would have hoped, but we settled on two pizzas. What makes this place unique is the wall decor. Every wall has something different and are good conversation starters, but you can only talk for so long before you start to wonder " where is my food?" Perhaps, because this restaurant shares a space with a bar next door they supply the food for them, which is why our 2 small personal pan pizzas took nearly 90 minutes to arrive! Aside from the wait, the pizza was just okay. The bottom was burnt black on both of them we ate what we could. The dough was dull and the sauce was bland and really left nothing to the imagination. All and all I would come back perhaps for the trivia Night which they do have weekly or maybe if I just wanted beer and bar food. I hope the menu and the service improves! The concept is unique, but poor execution

    I was looking forward to their very tasty pizza, with a crisp crust and flavorful cup and Char pepperoni, but we noticed that the table next to us got two pizzas that they said they didn't order it was given to them by a different server than ours. So it took an extremely long time to get our pizza. Our server made up for it. It wasn't her fault. Bourbon bbq wings were also done on the pit and worth the wait.Thank you to our server.

    I'm always on the lookout, keeping my ear to the ground, for great pizza places in Buffalo…read more Although sometimes, I just want to try some place new. I had heard good things about Naked City Pizza, so I decided to take a break from my usual spots and give them a try and overall, I am very pleased! I called around 4:45pm on a Saturday and a gentleman took my order. He was courteous and friendly and said my order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. I arrived about 30 minutes later, easily finding a parking spot in their large parking lot, which is a mixture of pavement and dirt/gravel. Walking inside the shop, it's similar to most Buffalo pizza shops where it's relatively small and really about take-out, not for dining in. There were a few young guys working the counter and ovens, they were able to get me in and out quickly. From the limited time I was inside, the workers were friendly enough, they seemed to get along well. For dinner, I ordered a Quarter Sheet (6 slices) Steak and Three Cheese pizza but the gentleman who took my order over the phone put my order in as a Half Sheet (12 slices). They realized the mistake too late and gave me the Half Sheet for the Quarter Sheet price! I really do appreciate that, it's great customer service. I have half a pizza leftover for a quick dinner now! Naked City Pizza nails the traditional Buffalo-style with a doughier undercarriage and nice crispy, chewy crust. The dough was airy but it didn't seem as "heavy" as many other pizza places around Buffalo, but maybe I was just REALLY hungry. haha For their steak pizza, it seems like they use thicker pieces of steak, which was great, definitely felt more substantial. Most steak pizzas come topped with banana, hot, or sweet (bell/green) peppers, but Naked City uses roasted red peppers, which are sweet and have a more distinct flavor and softer texture - I was impressed, this paired VERY well with the other components! Along with them, there's also onions on top. The three cheeses used are cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, which of course are delicious. In addition to the roasted sweet peppers, the other component that I was surprised by was the white garlic sauce as the base. Steak pizzas around Buffalo vary from using a "hoagie oil/sauce" to just a huge variety of cheeses, no base sauce of any kind. I tend to stay away from white sauce on pizza as it's usually associated with garlic (I don't want my breath to be too... fragrant haha), but this wasn't too garlic-y, I didn't feel like I was "wearing it". I enjoyed the added creaminess the white sauce added to this pie. After six slices, I stopped myself and put the other half in the freezer. The six slices I had were delicious and filled me up nicely - The squares were cut nicely and they were plenty filling with tons of meat and cheese. I have a feeling these will reheat in the oven nicely. Looking at the prices, I was impressed too with how affordable Naked City Pizza is! All-in-all, I'm glad I gave Naked City Pizza a chance and had a great experience! The staff are friendly enough and quick, it's easy to get in and out quickly, and the pizza is traditional Buffalo-style so it's on the heartier end while being affordable. I look forward to ordering and trying a red sauce pizza from Naked City Pizza to see how sweet their sauce is.

    Loved it. Pizza was awesome, crust was really good, everything was really fresh. Totally recommend…read moretrying the pizza if you haven't. Not really any I side seating, but outside tables if weather cooperates. And a decent size shared parking lot next door. A little pricey but with the dough

Most recently had an antipasto salad. Had a lot of toppings and was bigger than I expected. Blue cheese was less chunky than I prefer but it was very flavorful. Almost had a garlic note which made it unique. There were some people in the bar mid day on a weekday and it looked like a good atmosphere and fun crowd.

    I wish we could give half stars, they definitely be. 3.5 for me, four is generous…read more I come here strictly for their stuff hot pepper pizza! I will dare to say no one in the area makes a better one. The pizza is super cheesy, and there stuffed hot peppers are amazing! Spicyyyyy!!! I always add either sausage or meatballs, this time went with the sausage.. this pizza never disappoints! The family wanted some things so also tried the cowboy burger, this was basically a Burger King rodeo on steroids! My son loved. I tasted the actual burger and it was seasoned well and pretty thick! Id order again. The hubby went with a steak hoagie and a chicken taco. Nothing special. The steak hoagie really had no flavor, and the chicken taco was super soggy so the tortilla basically fell apart. Again, I didn't think the chicken had any flavor. I ordered a half of there "bomb sub". Glad I got a half because it is huge!!! It's made up of ham, capocolla, sausage and ham! They did not hold back on the meat. I actually took half off and made another sandwich out of it. This was good, only thing I asked for garlic ailoli and either they forgot or hardly put any on, it was dry, but I'd definitely order again. Half for 9.00 and like I said made another meal out of it, can't beat it.

    There's an exceptional Chinese Restaurant next-door, and I've been walking past Forno Napoli for…read morethe past few years, and always wanted to try it. I took my son there for lunch the other day, and we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who as it turns out, I knew from his previous restaurants stops. I hadn't seen him in about 15 years, but I recognized him instantly. Great service, polite and courteous staff, and delicious fresh food, are my initial reactions. I was surprised how good the San Franco pizza was! I also had a bowl of Pasta Fasola which was outstanding. I live in the city of Buffalo between Delaware and Elmwood and there are many pizza places around here, plus, I grew up on Bocce on Bailey pizza. However, the Forno Napoli pizza now ruins all others for me. I have never been to Italy, but I imagine this is what pizza is like there. Authentic and fresh. I'm taking all 3 of my kids back there tonight. Trying their salads and pasta as well. This place was very busy on a weekday at 4pm, so it is not a secret. It is also not cheap. You are paying for the quality of the food, and it is worth it.

    I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time and finally made it in!…read more There's menus at the counter and you can take your own seat. When you're ready to order, head up to the counter. After ordering, head back to your seat and the will bring you your food when it's ready. My friend had the meatball sandwich (napoletana panini). It looked fantastic. But when I asked his rating, he gave it 6/10 stars. However, I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like cheese so take it with a grain of salt I was torn between the Bianca and Quattro pizza so I asked the kind man at the register for his suggestion; he said the Bianca is more popular so I went with that. I enjoyed my pizza, although I wouldn't order this one again. I do want to say that it is pricey but you will get a very big pie of great quality. The dough was excellent! It was actually my favorite part and I've never said that about any pizza! Atmosphere is extremely casual. There's fruit infused waters to have and you go and grab them yourself (back right corner). But you can order bottles of soda, alcohol, etc. Also in the back right corner are small pizza boxes for leftovers you can grab if needed. When you cash out, be sure to enter your phone number for the rewards program!
