If this pizza was a college, it'd be my Elma Mater.
You see, Buffalo pizza is unlike any other in the world... except perhaps Detroit. Homey, greasy, expertly made, incomparably good. Sure, several of the best slices may come from in or near NYC, and sure, the best deep dish pies certainly come from Chicago (but decidedly not from the national Chicagoan chains, at all). But when it comes to consistent, basic, perfect greasy Italian American pizza, nobody does it like Buffalo and Detroit.
And here, yet again, we have another perfect example of WNY's greatest and most underrated delicacy... it's pizza. Even as nearby as Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, Toronto, Erie and Cleveland, they simply can't do it like WNY does.
Elma Pizza is a pretty amazing Pizzeria and really underrated. It's thick and chunky and greasy and delicious and the person at home who loves pizza really loved it and helped me wolf it down (or Fox it down in my case).
I'm surprised that it doesn't have more fans and reviews, considering how good it is, which might be because it closed down and then opened up again.
In any case it's really great and you need to come out to Elma and give it a try if you want to try all the great slices of Western New York - this is definitely one of them and it's cheaper than most, with good service. While you're at it, you must also try Imperial, Bella, Mineo's, Franco's (Eggert), Mattina's, Pizza Oven/Ventry's (NF), Good Guys (NT), and more.
Now I hate to be like Elma Fudd, but I have to go find me some wabbits. read more
