Was working late and couldn't get out to grab dinner so we figured we'd try a new place. I will admit the person taking our order was not the best. We had to ask how much our total would be (note, they add $2 to your bill if you pay with credit card instead of cash) and they didn't tell us how long it would be for the delivery. All was forgotten once our food arrived. we had ordered a small Yum Yum Pizza which was indeed yum yum. Even though it's a "small" pizza, it was more than enough food for the two of us. We also ordered some fries which were unremarkable but the sauce they provided was like a spicy ranch which was quite tasty and saved the fries. Definitely will consider ordering from here in the future. read more

So... I've been going back and forth with posting this review because I have mixed feelings at this time so I will just give my input good and bad.. My co workers and I recently started going to Lovejoy Pizza, my first order was a chicken finger sub and it was amazing. I'm unable to carry a phone with me at work so I was unable to take any pics of it. Based on how good the sub was I decided to order again, this time I ordered a steak taco with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, mild sauce and sour cream. When I say this taco was AMAZING!! It was AMAZING!! I raved and raved about how great it was that my co workers ordered them a few days later and loved it. For the last 3 weeks I have been ordering the same taco every week and I had no disappointments. This week is a whole new ball game. Yesterday I ordered my taco the same exact way that I've been ordering it these last few weeks and it was THE WORST TACO ever. I opened the foil and nothing but greases came out, there was so much grease that the taco shell was orange and soggy. I tell myself this can be over looked if I just woof it all down in 1 sitting and not have any leftover. Well that was wrong, I bite into the taco and all I could taste was burnt meat. So the Shell was soggy and full of grease, the meat was burnt, they didn't add cheese or sour cream and it was a complete fail. I didn't even attempt to eat anymore of it and called Lovejoy. I spoke to the guy who answered the phone (I believe he was the same guy who cashed me out) I told him how often I get the tacos and I'm not a complainer but the taco was absolutely HORRIBLE. He takes down my name and number and says I can come in to get a replacement taco anytime. Ok, cool, great!! He was very polite and provided great customer service. So, today I call to re-order the taco because I NEED my taco fix only to be disappointed again. The taco shell wasn't full of grease but the meat taste burnt again. I don't know if they have a new cook or if they are just having a rough week but I'm completely over it. I should've known it wouldn't last too long because I actually enjoyed it. Not sure if I will return again due to being disappointed two days in a row. I didn't call and complain today but I'm sure I will just take my business else where. read more

This place is great for take out (I've never ordered delivery). The staff is solid. Interesting variety of wings- they have a sriracha honey wing that is as unique as it is delicious. Subs are solid, well crafted, plenty of toppings. Pizza is solid as far as buffalo pizzerias go- my favorite is the BBQ chicken finger. read more

I have long been telling myself I want to try various pizza joints across the city (not suburbs) to find one that can be my favorite. So yesterday when I was craving pizza, I wanted to try something new and begin my quest. Upon searching Yelp, I stumbled upon Lovejoy Pizza, and saw that it had some good reviews. One of the things I really like is that they have personal pizzas. I don't like getting individual slices, because you never know how old they are, and therefore I don't feel like it is a good representation of their pizza when it's not hot out of the oven, because let's be honest, that's the product they are most focused on. So my boyfriend and I ordered two personal pizzas for pick up. Something I really like about it here is that you can "customize" the crust free of charge. I really wanted a cheese and pepperoni pizza, but I also wanted some garlic, so I asked for some garlic baked into the pizza dough. My boyfriend loves spicy food, so he got crushed red pepper baked into his crust (he just plain cheese). I really liked this because A) it's free, and B) It helps you jazz up the pizza! When I was inside getting the pizza, the workers were very friendly and were asking me how I was, and I told them about how I discovered them, and they seemed pleased and told me that they hope I enjoy it. I like that they actually cared! Now for the pizza: Overall, delicious. Not too much cheese, not too doughy. The crust had a nice consistency (not too chewy and not too crunchy), and had a ton of flavor, which I assume was because of the garlic. It was pretty greasy, which isn't necessarily bad, but I know the boyfriend isn't a huge fan, and I saw him dabbing off some of the grease. This is definitely a place to check out, as it totally surpasses a lot of pizza I've had in Buffalo. Is it the best in the city? Who knows! But it's the best I've had in a long time! read more

YES! lovejoy You've got it right! Its so refreshing to walk into a pizza joint with not only great food but great customer service! This was my first time ordering from this place and it was great. Got a sheet pizza and a bucket(50) of wings for right around 50 bucks which is a great price. The wings were cooked and flavored perfectly the BBQ were grilled to perfection. The pizza was thin crust and great. The employees there are amazing! they even offered to carry my food out to my car for me, when I declined they had to at least open the doors for me! I will defiantly be back! read more

First time I ordered at Lovejoy Pizza and I was surprised at the quality of the food it doesn't look like much of a restaurant but the food is awesome I will be back again for another sheet Pizza and 75 wings read more

Stopped at a hotel and needed somewhere close by to get some food. Finally decided on pizza and then found this place. We glanced over the menu and decided on the signature hot stuffed pepper pizza. The service was great and delivery was fast for the bad weather conditions. The pizza got here and smelled great the second it was delivered. Brought the pizza back to the room and dug in. The cheese blend on this pizza is one of the best I've ever had and the crust was nice and thick. This is a great example of quality pizza and ordering from this restaurant was a great choice and a fantastic experience. 10/10 would recommend read more

The staff is always super friendly and fast. They add a substantial amount of cheese to their pizza which I love. I'd suggest trying their honey Sriracha wings if you haven't. I don't like anything spicy but these wings are my favorite. Hands down my favorite pizza and wings in Buffalo. read more

Ordered a sheet pizza with half pepperoni and half stuffed banana pepper and sausage. It was very good! Sometimes sheet pizzas are just not as good but it was great. Char bq and medium wings were delicious. They even helped me out to the car with it read more

Pretty good. I like the personal size. I ordered the ultimate veggie and a Greek salad. Not a lot of sauce on the pizza but thicker crust, which I like. The salad was huge! Didn't want chicken, but got it anyway. He could probably tell I need more protein in my diet. I'd order from there again. Took an hour to arrive. read more

When I ordered a pizza and wings, I was told it would be delivered in "less than an hour". At 70 mins, I called to see if there was a problem. I was told it would be there in "a few minutes". It didn't arrive until an hour and a half after I ordered. I wasn't impressed by the pizza, but it might have been better when it was warmer. read more

The best thing regarding this place was that the food was delivered hot. Was excited to try stuffed jalapeño pizza listed under the specials until I ate it. The peppers were individually stuffed sort of like what one would expect from stuffed mushrooms . It was written well "sounding" better than it tasted. Also ordered the wings from the pit.... These should have been called chicken fingers nothing impressive. Blue cheese was not from scratch but rather bought in bulk/pre packaged cup. Delivery guy was nice but the 2 dollar delivery charge pisses me off,even more so from small businesses. The majority do not pay for medical care and hide enough money from the govt that stealing 2 more dollars from me is unnecessary. Good not great but oven hot read more

Lovejoy Pizza food is consistently fantastic! Highly recommend! You really can't go wrong with any item on their menu. I'm always a sucker for their fries and their dipping sauce! read more

Ordered a three cheese steak pizza and deep fried mushroom, took 40 mins. Service was ok. The mushrooms were great, hot and fresh, just the pizza was really disappointing. it was a 9" personal pizza, quite expensive but any slice of pepperoni and cheese would taste better than this. It got no taste at all. read more

I don't typically write reviews for pizza places. I'm from NYC and pizza tends to be on every block. But this place is honestly exceptional. Delicious pizza ingredients and great service. I had some slices delivered down the block, with a customized letter, and it arrived not only on time but early. The guy who took my order was nice, efficient, and has super nice handwriting (I was told). Things did not go as planned with pick-up time on my part, but the delivery guy waited. Thank you for being patient!!! Delivery Customer Service: 10/10 Delivery Speed: 10/10 Pizza Cost: Good. Pizza taste: The pepperonis are the best. Coming back in person! Charismatic Cherie. read more

Subs are great, pizza is good Buffalo style, wings are good. I would frequently order lunch from here on Friday's while at work. Never have eaten something from here I didn't like. The location is convenient right downtown. Wish I still worked near here so I could keep ordering food. The Davey St. sub is incredible, meatballs, gravy and melted cheese. Also the Love Joy St, with chicken fingers stuffed hot peppers and cheese is a great option. If you want a change from normal hot wings they have a couple nice flavor options. I like the garlic-Romano style. So if you are looking for some good food right DT check this place out read more

Thank you Lovejoy Pizza. My husband was at Rowell Park for surgery. Not being from this area I didn't know where to go when the hospital cafeteria closed. The nurses station gave me your menu along with raved reviews. They were correct. I got your white pizza twice (personal size)and it was delicious. Also another time I got a Reiman St. One of Anthony's classic. Just as great (huge) I was able to get 3 dinners and 3 lunches. I want to thank you for being so friendly, timely and very kind. Keep up the great work. Thanks read more

Lovejoy Pizza is the best! They Consistently deliver hot, delicious food, and are my go-to place to order from during Bills games. The pizza dough is delicious with perfectly cooked crust, and the small, spicy pepperoni is always crispy. My favorite are the BBQ chicken fingers which come piping hot coated in delicious smoky bbq sauce and a side of French fries. Their turkey club sub is also excellent with plenty of bacon and high quality sub roll (probably Costanzos). Lovejoy is highly recommended and should be considered next time you're ordering delivery. read more

Let me say that I tried every item on the menu and it's all fantastic! The service is very friendly! Come say hi to Big a John,Frankie and the Pugger! That's if the Pugger isn't sleeping! Lol! I wish the Pugger would listen to his best friend in the whole wide world Michael A. Marchitte III and get a fried bologna sandwich in his joint! Lol! Salut'! read more

This is my favorite pizza and wings. Consistently delicious and their onion rings are awesome. If you're calling in your order beware their phone-side manner is severely lacking but your food will still taste great. read more

Food is just okay, there's only few people in front of us but we was waiting forever. Every thing is so slow. I would not suggest people to come here. read more

Long time ago on the East side there was Bocce's and Lovejoy Pizza and all the wannabees. Bocce's has gone by the wayside (Imperial is trying but still not there) but Lovejoy has remained as THE best pizza on Buffalo's east side. Outstanding quality. The Main St store is new so give them a bit but DO NOT miss out on a Lovejoy Pizza! read more

great flavours, great texture on the pizza- I'll order the wings extra crispy next time but the sauces and Cajun rub is delicious

I was at a compition with my daughter and her friends at Canisius college. Needless to say after a long morning they were starving! Called and ordered lg pizza, 30 wings and garlic breads. I was totally stoked when I was told it would be ready in 20 min. When I got there my food was done and piping hot. Wings at Lovejoy were perfect! We ordered medium. They were perfectly sauced and crispy, something I have a hard time finding here in the city. Pizza was good and crust was well cooked. Garlic bread was a treat..Gooey with cheese and garlic! We will definitely be ordering from Lovejoy again! read more

My second favorite pizza place in Buffalo (Imperial wins every time). Definitely the best place in down town. Super underrated.

Solid Buffalo style pizza and wings. Nothing more nothing less. Would totally order again if I'm ordering delivery for a party.

The love joy st sub is a game changer. Hands down best sub I have ever had. I would like to take this time to thank the man that created this masterpiece. read more

Lovejoy Pizza - The love joy st- chicken fingers, stuffed banana peppers, lettuce, blue cheese - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

White pizza was amazing and fresh. The gentleman who helped me was very cool and I would def recommend this place to anyone traveling to Buffalo! read more

We decided to order some pizza for the game, I recommended Lovejoy to my friends who never tried it. They loved it! It's great Pizza, Great wings, and great service! Especially the honey Sriracha! Highly recommend. read more

Let me just say that I have never felt compelled to write a review on here before, but the quality and service of Lovejoy Pizza changed that. The pizza is outstanding! We ordered the chicken finger pizza, and it was simply amazing; the sauce, chicken finger chunks, and even the crust were absolutely delicious. Just a well made and hearty pizza (they do not skimp on toppings at all). The customer service was second to none as well- these folks appreciate your business, and they make that known. A true rarity to find people that care so much about customer satisfaction with their craft, and this pizza and service separates them from all the other pizza places. Outstanding. read more

Lovejoy never lets me down. Doesn't get any better than that! They're always my 1st choice.

We ordered from Lovejoy from a recommendation of a family member. We ordered the large stuffed banana pepper pizza and 20 wings hot. The delivery time was on time. Anthony, the owner, delivered it and was very personable at delivery. He seemed very passionate and cared about the quality of his food. Well he should be proud because the pizza was excellent! I typically like the thin NY style, but I always enjoy the thick pizza also. This isn't TOO thick, but it has a good thickness and at the same time is light anf fluffy. The banana peppers are made whole and sliced up for the toppings. The hot wings were a good level of hot, with fall off the bone type chicken and had a lot of flavor. I absolutely would order from here again and look forward to trying the different styles of pizza they have to offer! But I highly recommend the stuffed banana pepper pizza..I believe it was called "The Big Johns" if I'm not mistaken. read more

This place is great. Super convenient, the employees are always super nice, they deliver fast. We'v ordered from here many times for subs and pizza. The pizza is great Buffalo-style with thick crust. I had the stuffed pepper pizza last night (vegetarian :)) It was delicious with just a hint of spice. Thanks Lovejoy, we'll be back! read more

Worse than chain pizza tasted like bread with tiny bit of sauce and sprinkle cheese eww

Working Downtown it was hard to find a really good pizza place that delivers anytime of the day. Owning our business on Main street for over 30 years we have seen many come and go. Lovejoy pizza we hope is here to stay. The owner Anthony is very hands on and when he says his ingredients are the best they really are. His crust is just right , homemade sauce very good. Homemade sausage on his YUM YUM pizza or sub excellent. In addition to his traditional cheese and pepperoni, he makes a variety of specialty pizzas including a stuffed hot pepper pizza, What's not to love about that. They really go out of their way and it shows. SO GOOD!!! They do take a little longer to deliver but it is well worth it. Or pick up and say hi to Anthony. read more

Great food, great people, great pizzeria! The wings are as good as it gets in Buffalo - and that's saying something. The sub with Chicken fingers and stuffed banana peppers is incredible as well. Staff was all very friendly when I stopped in, would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Like every other Buffalonian, I have my own favorite pizza places. For me, it's usually La Nova on W Ferry, and maybe occasionally Imperial Pizza. But we tried this one tonight for the first time, takeout, and I have to say....it won't be our last time. Classic Buffalo pizza, very cheesy, nice greasy crispy pepperoni. Just how we liked it. Next time we'll strongly consider it against La Nova. Good stuff. read more

Incredibly rude, tried to place an order and got hung up on twice, when I finally got through they placed me on hold again! When I was finally ready to place an order they were absolutely rude to me. Fuck this place! read more

I drive by here all the time. I was looking forward to eating here for months. I thought I ate at the Lovejoy location as a kid. Tried the two slice with a drink special. I saw a bunch of slices in the display. It was 2 PM and I thought at the most, they made the pizza for the lunch crowd. I asked the clerk for two of the freshest he the display box. The clerk took the slices out of the display and appeared to heat them up. I was wrong, perhap the gas was off in the oven. I can still feel the WARM greasy, gooey piece of yuck in my mouth. I would swear that I received day old, fresh out of the frig pizza. Remember these words, keep driving it's a big city full of pizza joints. Any other will be better than this one. read more

I'm picky about my pizza. I've had long discussions about my favorite pizza places in western New York. I grew up in the Boston valley, where it felt like there were more pizzerias than people at times. This place has quickly replaced all my other favorites. It's exactly what I want and love in Buffalo pizza: thick doughy crust, good sauce, and a hearty amount of cheese. Wings are on point too. Top it off with some of the best customer service I've ever had from a pizza joint (or really any place I order food from) and this is the only place I order pizza and wings from any more. And I recommend it to all of my guests and friends. As we speak, I have some leftovers I'm wrapping up for lunch. read more
