    Thin crust pizza
    Callie C.

    Delicious thin crust pizza !! Our go to is Italian beef and giardiniera ... thank me later. The thin crust is crisp and crunchy and the toppings were generous. We've dined in and it's very family friendly inside. Carry out is quick and convenient with a separate entrance. This specific visit I ordered online so I didn't have to call in and the website to order is very user friendly and the order time was very accurate.

    Medium Sausage Pizza

    Overall no complaints. Ordered medium thin crust sausage pizza. The dough, the cheese, the sausage, all good. The sauce is solid, but nothing special. Good to solid at everything is a good thing. And a good reason to go back, which i will.

    Great beef sandwich and Fries.

    We ended up at Papa Joe's because another restaurant down the street we originally were headed to was closed. We are happy it was. Isabelle was a great server. The fried chicken was delicious. It came with the best side salad I've had. The bread that's served with the dinner was warm and fresh. The beef sandwich my hubby got was great as well. I like that they cover the plates to bring them out to the tables...nice touch. We will be back to try more.

    We loved it! This was our first time here. Three of us met here for dinner on a Sunday night. We were seated promptly and Sydney took our drink and appetizer order right away. With our drinks, we shared an order of Calamari. It was decent. Had it been a bit crispier and a bit more drained, it would have been amazing. I had the Spaghetti with Mushroom Sauce and an Italian Sausage. Wow - this was a large dish and was really good. My wife had the Chicken Chantel. Also a huge meal and she said it was excellent. Our friend ordered the Pork Chops and said they were very tender. For the cost, level of service and food quality, this place gets 5 stars from me. Thank you Papa Joes and thank you Sydney for the excellent service.

    I guess 4.4 miles is out of their delivery zone. Seems like you might want to change that could have been a regular.

    This pizza is the best pizza I've had in a very long time. They are kinda expensive but well worth it. Highly recommend it.

    Phone girl had a bad attitude and the food was disgusting. I think the blue cheese dressing tasted the best

Nancy's is a consistently decent spot with a few caveats. But alas, a chain. Pizza at the Point.. bleh. Alright, onto the next joint. Tried this place out with my simple go-to topping duo-sausage/ onion. I do long-cut caramelized onions, and of course they couldn't accommodate. That's fine. Do you atleast just have long cut onion? No. Diced. Sigh... Expensive little pizza. Bitter sauce... or was it spoiling cheese? Either way, that was the over arching flavor profile--bitter. Microscopic onion bits. I thought the sausage was halfway decent. Wife felt it was dry. Ordered easy well, was announced as well done when I arrived to pickup, and was barely done. Sheesh. They couldn't even cover the entire pizza with cheese, as I had a washed out section with just sauce. "Well maybe it was a busy night and they were moving and shaking!" Nah. Dead Monday night, place was empty. They garnered a 2-star because their breaded mushroom app was pretty good. It honestly saved the evening, for me at least. But to put it in perspective and sum it up, my wife was coming home late and fiending for pizza. When we get a good pizza from somewhere, it's usually at least an 18" and it ends up demolished. This 16" thing was barely half eaten before everyone threw in the towel. The bitterness was overwhelming. Doughy and bitter tasting. I wasn't even going to leave a review but instead move on, but I combed through some of the reviews and quickly found somebody talking about the bitter flavor as well which prompted this. That's a wild flavor profile that you would never think to relate to pizza. Someone posted on a Lockport Facebook page asking what the best pizza spot was in the area. One of the commenters stated, "Doesn't exist." And I'm beginning to fear this is true.
