    Dude. Everything was awesome. We were visiting Buffalo for a few days after a stay in Niagara Falls Canada. I was checking on Yelp for local pizza places, and discovered that Buffalo seems to have a style of pizza all its own. So I had to try it (of course). Lovejoy did not disappoint! The pizza was flavorful and yummy. (For those curious, Buffalo style has a thicker crust than NY style. Not as thick as Sicilian or Detroit, but definitely thicker than NY. And although it's not woodfired, it has a little more char than a NY style pie.) I LOVED the pizza, and Big Daddy enjoyed it too (and he doesn't normally like pizza). I am not a huge fan of wings, but these were delicious! Crispy and juicy... really good. If we had wings like this where I'm from, I'd eat them more often. The meatball sub was fire, too. Very flavorful with massive, tender meatballs. Overall, this place was lit. For sure we'll eat here again if we ever return to Buffalo.

    Lovejoy Pizza never disappoints it's so good. Anthony is a gem of a human and makes you feel like you have been friends for years! Keep supporting Lovejoy!!

    Wow! Ordered "The Ultimate Veggie Pizza" and it was one of the best I have ever had. This is Buffalo Style which is not NY, Chicago, Detroit.... It's Buffalo! The proportion of the ingredients was a masterpiece. The garlic, spinach, broccoli and mushrooms we all well balanced. That crust was light, and just the right thickness, crispy but melt in your mouth. Damn! My wife has 10pc wings medium sauce. First thing she said is "that is the way wings are supposed to be done!". Crispy, saucy and the heat was just right. I couldn't resist and dipped my crust in the sauce. I wanted a cup for dipping! The blue cheese stood up! Anthony, the owner and his crew definitely know how to deliver! Listening to Anthony greet every customer and knew everyone that came through his doors. You don't find that anymore. What service, someone that cares about your experience and wants you to enjoy his pies as much as he does. Don't expect a fancy sit down, but prepare for great food. You will not be disappointed.

    Lovejoy with the clutch delivery tonight! In town for a few days, wanted a BUF style pepperoni pie while slugging down a few nice beers at Other Half downtown. Easy ordering over the phone, asked for a few plates, napkins and some crushed red. Everything came as promised; on time and still crazy hot! Will order again. Guy who delivered the order was a cool guy, said he was the owner, forgot his name (beers). Will support anytime in town.

    Shawn's Pizza Reviews REVIEW # 26 LOVEJOY PIZZA E. LOVEJOY ST. BUFFALO, NY SCORE 6.9 One of two locations, the other being downtown. This one is located in Lovejoy near Buffalo's east side. Pretty cool spot with a friendly staff who were enjoying a Yankees game when I went in to pickup the pie. Not a huge fan of the pizza though. The sauce was pretty good, although they did use a bit too much. The cheese didn't taste all that great and the crust was hard as a rock. Check it out if you're ever in the area!

    Was passing by Buffalo, NY to check out Niagara Falls and of course you gotta have Buffalo wings in Buffalo. Used the Yelp app to see who was the "cock-in-the-henhouse" around the area and Lovejoy Pizza looked promising. Walked in and almost instantly the owner had a conversation with my girlfriend and I and made us feel at home. Since we made the drive up from San Antonio, Texas, he let us try some complimentary wings which were amazing! The employees were real humble and showed a lot of respect. Now to the food: the pizza was ON POINT! The cheese and dough were FOR REAL. But the actual takeaway were the wings... nice and crispy without being stingy with the sauce. So glad I'm able to say I had Lovejoy Pizza. You guys rock!

    Sheet pizza. Two slices already taken. Look at that cheese.

    When I'm in Buffalo I make it my goal to try a new pizza and wing place that I've never been to before. Lovejoy kept popping up as places that not many people know, but always ranked high on pizza list I have seen. Plus just the people talking about it finally made me go try it. It's good. It's all good. Classic pizza and wings buffalo style. Here's what's different from this place from every other, cheese. I can honestly say this was the cheesiest pizza I have ever had. Not sure if it was just this pizza or if it's always like that. Also, the pizza heated up the next day was excellent. Good wings as well. Lightly sauced. Crispy. Big.

    I was in a bit of turmoil when I heard it was national pizza day. Immediately I knew I wanted to participate, but which local do I patronize. I haven't had pizza from my favorite joint in a while but sadly they were out of a few key ingredients and their covid hours were not convenient. What to do, what to do?! I scoured the Inter webs, wracked my brain, consulted YELP...aha! Lovejoy pizza - with the works! It's national pizza day so I figured I better get my order in early. That was a wise thing to do because the wait time turned out to be 45 minutes. Well, I arrive to pick up my pizza and tell the counterman...the works hold the anchovies...so he asks me why don't I like anchovies? It's not me, I say, it's other people sharing the pizza. I got good anchovies he says, I'll put them on the side for you. Wonderful, I say. And the Lovejoy Pizza with the works was definitely epic. Everything was spot on...from the fresh mushrooms to the crunchy, chewy crust. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Thank you, Lovejoy Pizza on Main St. for making national pizza day.

    Wow. Hands down some of the best pizza we've had…read more We ordered the San Felice Pizza -- San Marzano tomatoes, house-made sausage, sweet and spicy peppers, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil -- and it was absolute perfection. The flavors don't compete... they melt together into one big, perfect masterpiece. The peppers leaned sweet (no real heat), which made them the ideal companion to the delicious sausage. And that sausage? Made in-house and seasoned beautifully, with the perfect amount of fennel -- enough to give it that classic Italian character without overpowering the pie. Perfection! The buffalo mozzarella added creamy richness, the basil kept everything bright, and the San Marzano tomatoes were clean and balanced. We love pizza in all its forms -- New York style and Napoli alike -- but there is something about the rustic goodness of true Neapolitan pizza that has a special place in my pizza-loving heart. That airy, soft center and char-kissed crust from the wood-fired oven is magic. The use of such fresh ingredients makes Forno Napoli my favorite pizza on NY so far - authentic and intentional. There is a lot of love and pride in everything from the handmade crust to all of the toppings. They also serve a garlic butter and cheese dipping sauce for the crust -- indulgent and completely unnecessary in the BEST possible way. That blistered crust dipped in that sauce? Unreal. The cheese? Yes, they have the most beautiful wheel of pecorino they hand grate from to make this happen. No green shaker bottles here! We met Felix, the owner, and he was incredibly welcoming. He has such great energy -- warm, engaging, and clearly passionate. You can tell he's the heartbeat behind the recipes and the success of the business. It feels personal. He made us want to share just how great our entire experience was and he certainly made us want to return. Our only regret? We were too full to try another pizza. Do not hesitate. This truly is a slice of heaven.

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!

    First time in a while, I'm glad that One Pie Pizza Co. continues to cook up excellent Buffalo-style…read morepizza! I'm a member of their rewards program and once in a while, they'll send me a coupon for $5 off, or a certain percentage off of my next order. So, when I get one of these rewards, I make sure to take advantage and order a pie! Shoutout to the staff as they're always friendly and courteous. I need to praise how open and honest they are, which was put on full display with a recent order. One Pie Pizza Co. bakes a truly authentic Buffalo-style pizza with an airy, doughy undercarriage, a balanced chewy, crispy crusty, plenty of mozzarella cheese and sweet red sauce with cup-n-char pepperoni, but I like my dough, the undercarriage, to be a bit more cooked, firm, crispy, so I've been requesting "extra crispy on the bottom/underneath" more recently. But the way One Pie Pizza Co. cooks their pizzas makes that request a little more difficult as they use a conveyor belt process, so when ordering online there are two "Special Instructions" options: LIGHT WELL DONE and WELL DONE (Dark, crispy crust with charred edges). I've been trying to figure out which of these options would offer the more firm, crispier dough I want, so I ended up talking to some of the staff working there and explained my conundrum. They were wonderful in hearing me out and suggesting how I should place my order to get what I am looking for. So, what's the way to get the dough more firm, crispy underneath? Order your pizza LIGHT WELL DONE and ask if they could put your pizza on top of the oven for 10 minutes before they put it into the oven to cook it! The dough might raise up a bit more, but it should help pre-heat, cook the dough a little bit more. Of course, nothing wrong with adding a note asking for extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. I've ordered a few times in 2026 and each time my order has been a QTR Sheet (six slice) cheese, pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers, and ricotta cheese pizza, LIGHT WELL DONE cook/extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. This is an excellent pizza, with tons of toppings on each slice and plenty of ricotta cheese ladled on top. Drizzle a little hot honey to add a little sweet kick. This pizza never fails to leave me happy and full. I will say, their pizza might be on the pricier end in Buffalo, but it's worth it. One Pie Pizza Co. certainly earned, and deserves its high marks and regards within the Buffalo pizza community! I'm glad to keep them in my list of go-to Buffalo pizza shops.
