    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.

    We tried Lovejoy for the first time as a treat for the Bills game. We LOVED the pizza (traditional cheese and pep with sesame crust)! Their pizza has tasty crust, cup/char pepperoni, and loads of cheese that is slightly crisp on top and melty underneath. A true 'Buffalo Style' pizza. The 'char-b-q' chicken fingers were good, but not the best I've had. The chicken was a bit tough and the sauce wasn't great. We will definitely be getting the pizza again, and I'm curious to try their specialty pizzas.

    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.

From the outside, the restaurant was inviting, with a clean and nicely kept outdoor seating area. The inside was equally pleasing, with a full view of the pizzas being prepared!

On the menu for this visit: Panzanella Salad, a half-pepperoni/half-sausage pizza, and Affogato. The Panzanella was beautiful in presentation and tasted just as good. Firm, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, red onions, crostini, and dressing that all complemented each other perfectly. Refreshing and delish! The Affogato...AffoMazing!! Such a simple combination: espresso and vanilla gelato/ice cream, but goodness!! Sometimes simple is all you need. Now, the : At first, I was getting ready to be unimpressed. But NOPE!

And did I mention...very little grease?! The taste was light, fresh, and not overly filling, just right! Overall, Forno Napoli was a fantastic choice!

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 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.

The man who greeted us was kind helpful and I was impressed with the pizza options. We ordered: - Buffalo Chicken: had a really good flavor & was my favorite! - BBQ Chicken: my son loved it - Margerhita: also had a good flavor - Pickle: the best we've had by far - Beef Pattie: looks like a Jamaican one but isn't spicy and had a very strange almost veal or lamb taste. Overall the flavors of the pizzas were really very good, but unfortunately every slice was so overcooked and burnt that it quickly overtook the great flavor of each bite. Now, the thing is, everyone likes different kinds of pizza, and apparently Brooklyn style isn't necessarily our jam, but for something we really don't like (black crust), it was still very good and we would highly recommend it to people who like more cooked pizza.

This time I ordered their take on a WNY specialty pizza: the chicken finger pizza. In short, it was fantastic! Since I'm a member of their rewards program, I received a "$5 off your next order" code and figured it'd been a couple months since my last visit. The coupon couldn't have come at a better time. I placed my order online on a Saturday around 4:15pm for a 5:05pm pick-up. I know, you lose a bit of the personability when you don't call the restaurant to place an order, but online ordering is so easy and quick, and I love being able to pick my pick-up time and know my order will be ready, and paid for, when I arrive. As of 07/2026, the inside of One Pie Pizza Co. underwent a remodel. It's not as spacious, but I think it opens up their kitchen more, which I'm 100% on-board with since that means more pizza and other goodies. The staff are just as friendly and courteous as ever, I'm glad that hasn't changed. So, for dinner, I ordered a QTR Sheet (six slice) from their "SUPER Specialty Pizza" menu - The BFLO Chicken Finger (blue cheese base) cooked "LIGHT WELL DONE", which is a choice between their homemade red sauce or blue cheese base that is topped with diced chicken fingers, mozzarella cheese, and Frank's (medium) sauce. The "LIGHT WELL DONE" option is for cooking the dough underneath a bit more, firming it up, making it crispier. I like a little extra cook on my pizza as, sometimes, the Buffalo-style dough is a bit too limp, almost soggy/wet, which makes holding a slice... challenging. haha Now, I've had a few chicken finger pizzas throughout the years and while I love them, they don't always love me back. They're typically very dense pizzas thanks to all the cheese (blue cheese base AND cheese blends on top) but I was impressed with how well One Pie Pizza Co.'s sat. Don't get me wrong, this pizza is absolutely loaded. When I opened the box, I was worried how I was going to pick it up as it looked messy, but as they say, appearances can be deceiving! I was impressed and didn't finish my meal wearing it all over my hands and face. Every slice was generously topped, the flavor was spot-on. Now, I love a cheesy pizza, but I really appreciate the constraint One Pie Pizza Co. showed with not going overboard with a "blend" of cheeses on top of a blue cheese base - The layer of mozzarella was plenty, a great flavor on its own. As with all of their pizza, this left me happy and full. With that $5 off coupon, this brought the price to under $20, an incredible price, especially in 2026! One Pie Pizza Co. remains one of my favorite pizzas in Buffalo. I'm glad I finally tried their chicken finger pizza, this was excellent. With how well it agreed with me, I'm pretty confident in saying One Pie Pizza Co. will be where I order chicken finger pizzas from exclusively going forward!
