I'm from northern New Jersey and grow up eating New York thin crust pizza Olisii's thin crust is better then what I remember and the wing are good to highly recommended. Friendly service to. read more

NY style pizza is their specialty so that's what I tried and it was very very close. As a NYC transplant I grew up on nys pizza so gotta use my bragging rights on knowing what NY style is :) So... service was great - friendly guy waited patiently while I scanned over their menu. I dined in - plenty of seats so you know, don't be a loner and bring some friends. It was cold/warm today (unpredictable May weather in good ol' B-lo) and it was pretty warm in there so good thing if you've an aversion to cold temp. My cheese slice - love it they really re-heated it up til it burned my mouth when I took my first bite. The crust was thin, I was able to do the classic NYorkefold in half and the amount of cheese was perfect! Only thing missing is a chewy crust, this one is a tad too doughy. read more

Olisi's NY - Pizza Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

As a native New Yorker, I'm always skeptical when I see "NYC-style pizza" outside the city -- but this place comes surprisingly close. The cheese slice really captures the essence of a classic NYC slice: thin crust with a generous layer of cheese and that satisfying fold. I also tried the chicken slice, which was good, though the cheese-to-sauce ratio leaned a bit heavy for my personal taste. Service was quick, and the seating area is small but very cute and inviting. Overall, by Buffalo standards, this is a very solid slice. If you're craving something that actually resembles a New York-style slice, this is probably the closest you'll find around here. I'd definitely come back. read more

Good pizza staff not very friendly, had two different women wait on us at the counter and I felt put out to be there.....

Since Zettis closed, I have been dying for a NY style pizza but had no clue where to go ... until I saw a post on Facebook, and my best friend came to the rescue, bringing home a cheese pizza! I can't speak to service or ambience since I wasn't there, but the pizza was fantastic! Cheese, sauce, even the dough was excellent! My friend says they do sell it by the slice as well. My only complaint is that this location isn't closer to me. read more

Stopped in to Olisi's for their NYC style pizza! Thin crust and huge slices! We had all kinds of flavors plus their garlic knots! My son had a cheese burger sub which looked amazing and he said tasted amazing! Man on Friday dinner hour that place is very busy dine in or take out! Guess we are not the only ones who find it a great food venue in the Town of Tonawanda! Enjoy! read more

The staff is kind and the food it cooked to perfection I had a chicken in the grass the bread was so good I highly recommend and the restaurant was nice and clean read more

It's a genuine NYC slice...but it's done in a Blodgett oven and they charge 4.50 a slice. I grew up in the tri-state area....if you charge 4.50 a slice it had better be something memorable. It's ok for Buffalo...but that my friends is a complete price product mismatch. Not to mention the chili flakes, parm, and garlic dispensers are paper coke cups w poked holes on the top lids (get some glass shakers jeez!!).... read more

First time at Olisi's. I've been to Buffalo several times and have been craving "NY style pizza." I really like that they have options of slices so that I can try variety without ordering whole pizzas. I got... - basic calzone with pepperoni: this was amazing!!! It was freshly baked and the cheese was sooooo gooey and hot. I loved this calzone and this was the best calzone I have ever had. - garlic knots: love it with the marinara sauce. This was also really good. - steak pizza: i think this was like philly cheese steak in a pizza. A bit heavy but amazing taste. Just a few bites and I was getting full so I had to stop eating this slice to taste the others. - basic cheese: good cheese, not overpowering and crispy crust - pepperoni and sausage: amazing taste. Surprisingly this was not salty at all!! Usually pepperoni pizzas are too salty but this was just right. - chicken fingers pizza(?): different but tasty, saucy but not overpowering. Also, I really want to give a shout to the owner and the staff at Olisi's. I accidentally left my wallet on the table and they found me via facebook and let me know right away. Usually people just wait until someone calls but they went above and beyond to find me. Then they held my wallet in the back until I came back. I couldn't thank them enough!! I will definitely be back to try more variety next time! read more

If you're looking for NY style pizza Olisi's is a great option. Tons of drinks to choose from, can dine in or take out. Restaurant is clean and looks like a simple pizzeria/Italian eatery. We enjoy it for quick lunches and dinner solutions for the family on the fly. Wait is never too long and staff is alway good. I personally don't love the flavor of the BBQ they use on pizzas but that's my only real dislike here, other than that I've enjoyed each and every slice I've tried! read more

Not a lot of pizza places with good New York slices in Buffalo. This one's convenient and generally has a good variety. I actually like to bring it home and put it in the oven to crisp it up a second time. read more

The food wasn't bad, but very basic. It was ready on time, and as fresh as it could be. There is a lot of flop to the pizza, but the crust had a good flavor. May try some other items at some point. read more

Olisi's makes the traditional thin pie you take for granted when living in NYC. It's definitely worth trying if you want a change of pace from the thicker/heavier local pizza places. read more

Best NYC-style pizza outside the 5 boroughs and Jersey, hands down (and this from a Buffalo/Bocce Club ex-pat living in Manhattan the past two decades). Super friendly staff. Good prices. Not to be missed. read more

Olisi's is the best pizza place in North America and I love Olisi's pepperoni pizza and it's thin crust man

Such a nice change when you want thin crust NY style pizza. We got a large cheese/pepperoni and an order of chicken fingers (which were super simple but crispy and satisfying). Also got two orders of garlic knots which were a nice addition to the order. Was ready at our scheduled pickup time and a good temperature. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

I got a xlarge pepperoni and sausage pizza and 20 wings for pickup paid $60. Pickup was fine no issues staff was fine. I got back to my room and the pizza looked perfect exactly what I was hoping for. But unfortunately that's where it ended the pizza was very bland nothing really had any flavor not even the sauce. Very disappointing the wings were fine nothing special but I was so hoping for some delicious NY style pizza. I wouldn't come back for those prices and or the pizza. read more

** COVID-19 REVIEW ** We were in the mood for pizza but wanted to try a new place just to shake it up in these dull-drum times. We like "NY" style pizza and heard that this place is really good. We called on a Saturday night and since we were picking up, it was only a 30 minute wait. We arrived right on time and all our food was ready for us. We scored our timing because three other people came in right after us to get their orders so we didn't have to wait for our turn. The drive home was torturous as it smelled SO good! We couldn't wait to open the boxes! We ordered a large pizza, garlic knots, and single order (extra crispy) chicken wings. OMG, everything tasted amazing!! Wings were perfect, the pizza crust was on point, and garlic knots were perfectly doughy and buttery. We will definitely revisit this place again and probably try some other menu items. For a place that isn't mentioned as some other local pizza places, I highly recommend this joint in the Northtowns. read more

OK - just not something you'd crave. We ordered a pizza and 10 wings. It was good- just nothing special. Not sure I'd return. But it was good. I think it depends on your preferences. read more

Let's start off by saying I'm a thin crust girl. Pizza is a very controversial subject in Buffalo and some people prefer thicker crust. There are some serious pizza reviewers who will tell you this place is one of the best, and I have to agree. It's a good thin slice where all the topping won't slide off and you can eat it how it's supposed to be ate. The sauce isn't too sweet like some places and the cheese is good. The people who work there are really helpful as well. read more

Olisi's NY - Pizza Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Wow !! I was in the mood for Pizza, but wanted NY Style as I haven't had it in a while. I was in the Tonawanda area and after a quick search Olisi's came up. Walked in and selection was plentiful, I asked the guy serving me what they had available and opted for a Steak Slice and Buffalo Chicken Slice. Grabbed a Monster Energy drink from the fridge and then was blown away by what came next. That'll be $18.65 please ?? .......for TWO SLICES and a drink !! I know the slices are larger and I'm sure the Monster is marked up a little over what it would cost at the Grocery Store but assuming the monster was lets say at most $3.65 that means you're looking at $7.50 per slice !!!! The Slices were very good and amongst the best NY Style i've had in a while, and I am willing to pay up to a certain degree but wow. I was impressed with the food, but i'll go somewhere that is in line with everywhere else in WNY. read more

this is a fantastic New York style pizza. I enjoyed every bite of the sausage and cheese pizza. We ordered a large- $32 delivered with tip. Well worth it. read more

Olisi's has the best NY style pizza in the Buffalo area! I've been coming here for a few years and their food is always consistently great. I typically order a large cheese pizza (well done) to share and of course, garlic knots. Their pizza is thin and not too oily. I love topping it with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and ketchup (please don't judge me ). Their garlic knots are super buttery and soft. Not as garlic-y as I'd like them to be, but I'm kind of a garlic freak. As of now, they're offering pickup only. The service is always great here. I used to dine in and the place was clean. This is why I keep coming back! read more

This is a great spot for some authentic NY style pizza. We came in during a Bills game and still got the pizzas we ordered in a fair amount of time. Olisi's has a wide variety of pies to choose from including some very unique specialty pies. Meat loves, steak in the grass, and buffalo chicken are among my favorite options. The garlic knots make for a great appetizer or side dish. In addition, unlike many pizza shops. they have plenty of other dinner items if any one in your party doesn't have the pizza vibe. These items include salads, burgers, wings, subs and even tacos. Plenty of parking and a very clean restaurant. Olisi's is a great option if you are in the area. read more

Pizza was very good. Real NY style pizza. Garlic knots were excellent too. They had a variety of slices.

It had been a while since I've been here... seeing as I'm working on trying newer places and revisiting some older spots figured it was about time. First off, I need to state that NY Style pizza is my favorite, but you really need to go to the city if you want to truly have the best... it's kinda like going anywhere but Brooklyn for bagels. Maybe there really is something in the water making the dough that special... But of all the NY Style pizza places that I've been to in town, Olisi's is definitely a cut above the rest. Their prices seem to have gone up quite a bit from my last visit, but the quality has remained. I ordered the large (which is their smallest whole pie) bruschetta pizza, and I really enjoyed it. Will likely return soon for lunch slices sometime soon. read more

Olisi's NY - Large Bruschetta pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

For me this is the very best pizza in WNY! I love their sauce and NY style crust. Today I tied their meatball parm sub for the first time, it was AMAZING! I didn't notice until today how many places have taken the meatball subs off Their menus! So glad Olisi's had was I was looking for!! read more

Other than some of the crust being uneven, the pizza was great! Olisis is our go-to because we've never had bad service over the phone, delivery, or when we pick up, the pizza quality has always been top-notch. I don't care about the crust being uneven. When I pick up my food, the workers always give me a feeling that they are a team with the same objective of great pizza, customer service, and the order completed with the highest quality in the given timeframe. read more

Best NYC style pizza in WNY. I've tried everyplace I could find with NYC style pizza.

The first time I walked into this pizza place I was impressed with the wide selection of slices ready to be warmed up. Maybe a dozen. And the slices are huge. Service is prompt and courteous. The ambiance is pizza joint! They have other entrees but I've stuck with the pizzas so far. read more

Being a native Long Islander I have to say this pizza is as close to NYC/LI/North NJ pizza you could find in this area. Go there get the slices thrown in the oven with a couple garlic knots and a fresh tap cherry coke and you have yourself a great meal. Dining area has plenty of places to sit and the workers all seem nice as they gave my 8 year old a free lemonade. read more

Was in the area and was looking for a NY style pizza place to grab food on the way home. Honestly it was pretty good, great flavors is what stood out here, good crust too. I did ask for well done, unfortunately they did not oblige lol, so I stuck it in my oven at home for 5 more minutes on 350.. the pic is the final product. Was great, would definitely order from them again. read more

Olisi's is the spot for New York style pizza in buffalo. The food is great the service is great. I would highly recommend the bruschetta pizza. If you ever have a free lunch break they got all different kinds of slices too. read more

Probably some of the best NY style pizza I've had! We only got a cheese & pepperoni pie but they have a whole host of other "flavors" to choose from and I cannot wait to try some. Garlic knots were also pretty good, basic knots. The only negative was the wings, too soggy! I think next time (and I'd recommend to anyone who reads this) I will get them extra crispy. That said, the flavor (medium) was ok. This will definitely be a place we order from on the regular. read more

Go with your second choice over this place. Food was disgusting! sent Alfredo with spaghetti in it instead of fettuccini . Buffalo chicken calzone was the worst thing I've ever tasted. Wasted $85 on this garbage place and would recommend anyone thinking of eating here to go somewhere else! Rushed our order and nothing tasted good except the cold subs. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now and recently decided to order a cheese pizza. First thing you have to understand is that Olisi's clearly advertises that they are "New York Style" pizza. That being said, I did not go in expecting Buffalo style pizza and in all fairness I do not have much experience with New York style pizza, but I will say this pizza was excellent! It has thin crust, but is nice and chewy- not crispy which was great. There was the right amount of sauce and cheese. The pieces were good sizes as well. Although I found myself eating several slices! Please don't go here expecting your typical thick crust Buffalo pizza but if you enjoy thin crust NY Style pizza- you will love this place!! read more

Good spot for NY style thin pizza. Had a large order over the weekend and they grouped everything best they could to make some combo deals. Really nice of them to do. Only thing is the pizza adds up quick if you want a few toppings. They also send coupons out in mailers around the area. So you usually have a coupon on hand. I've ordered subs and wings here before and they are delicious as well. Thin crust isn't always my jam, and it can be a little greasy but if you're in the mood it's a great local spot read more

While in Buffalo I was craving some authentic NY pizza. I know Buffalo has its own style of pie, but a floppy slice of pep was on my mind. I did a quick search and found Olisis. This place is everything you'd expect a pie joint to be. Unique pies sitting at he counter waiting to be reheated to its glory. I'd highly recommend anyone come grab a slice. It was pretty busy at 2PM when I was dining in. Plus they have orange Fanta on tap. read more

I didn't grow up here and I'll be honest... I can't stand Buffalo style pizza. I don't mean to offend anyone - I just don't get it! That's said, I'm always on the lookout for local places that have a good thin-crust with non-cup and char pepperoni. And Olisi's has it!!!!!!! I was thrilled by the first look at it, and even more thrilled upon biting in! Finally - a pizza in WNY that you need to fold!!! The sauce wasn't overly savory and the amount on the pizza was absolutely perfect. The crust was wonderfully crunchy. A little bit of oil even dropped down my wrist at one point and honestly... *chef's kiss.* God I've missed that. The wings were solid! I typically don't love the wings from pizza places but like.. yeah! Medium had a the perfect amount of heat in my opinion, and wasn't drowned in sauce (again - chef's kiss! Can't stand a wing that's drowning in a lake of sauce). They were nice and crispy. Nothing bad to report! Definitely recommend Olisi'sThis will be our neighborhood pick going forward!! read more
