I ordered delivery from them, last week. It was pretty good pizza. The crust was very chewy which I didn't hate. We ordered a large pizza with pepperoni extra cheese and light sauce. It was still pretty saucy so I'm glad I ordered light sauce. I wouldn't order from here regularly but it was decent. It was priced around the same as other places I just prefer more. I'm still trying to find my favorite Rochester pizza... read more

Pontillo's Pizzeria - Large, light sauce, extra cheese regular pepperoni. - Pizza Near Me - Pittsford, New York

Great place to get a slice of pizza. I'm sure their whole pizzas are good too, but I've only ever gotten slices. They normally have buffalo chicken, pepperoni, cheese, and maybe 1 or 2 veggie options available for slices. However, they do run out towards the end of the day and don't make more. There isn't seating inside, but there are benches to enjoy your food outside. Service is usually quick and friendly. I've had the cheese slice and the artichoke pizza. Both are good slices. I'll definitely be back in the future! read more

Pontillo's Pizzeria - Cheese & artichoke slices - Pizza Near Me - Pittsford, New York

Rochester has been recognized as one of the leading pizza cities in America, and Pontillo's is the progenitor of the Western New York style pizza. Great thick crust, slightly sweet sauce, and so many toppings. Oh, and if red sauce isn't your thing, there are several others from which you can choose. read more

This is our go to pizza place. Food is always fresh and delicious. It's not your typical NY style Pizza. Crust it thick and doughy like a bread. Customer service is always friendly and they typically get your order out quickly. read more

Best slices in Roch.not much for atmosphere but I don't care.2 slices and a soda 9.75 I'll be back again and again

Best pizza in the area! Fast service and consistent quality . They are always busy so plan ahead with big orders on game day .

You see the undercurrent in these reviews (here and on Google) regarding rude and unacceptable behavior from the staff? Believe those reviews. Great pizza isn't worth the kind of blatantly disrespectful behavior we experienced from the employee working the ovens this afternoon. A very nice older gentleman with a much more level head apologized for the behavior of the employee. Even offered us free pizza. But it seems that there's a pattern of accepting this kind of nonsense from their staff. It's too bad. I've been going to Pontillo's for fifty+ years, but today was the last time. It takes a lot to make me post a negative public review, and I waited several hours after the incident to be sure I wasn't just posting angrily in the immediate aftermath. I hate the idea of bashing a locally owned business. But this guy's behavior was over the top and this negative review was earned. read more

The pizza is the best pizza I have ever had in my life. My mom refuses to go in there because they treated her so bad once. She will still eat the pizza though. You can eat outside but not inside. read more

These guys absolutely kill it in there! I got 2 slices and a drink they got it to me in about 5 minutes while in their lunch rush. It wasn't expensive at all and the food was really good! It gets a little crowded in there when it's busy but other than that great experience. read more

Absolutely love their assortment of lunch slices, especially the Buffalo chicken slice. I have tried a handful of them and they're always large, fresh, and tasty. The service is also very quick, so it's perfect to stop in during a lunch break. read more

Our neighborhood Pontillo's which happens to be the most popular one. I'm not usually a huge fan of chain pizza places, but this Pontillo's stands up to the test. They make a good pie and are reliably fast. I can expect the pizza to be ready in 20 minutes even on the busiest of days. The staff is friendly and there's plenty of parking space. read more

We were those people who go to a pizza place and don't order pizza (gasp!). The food was still very good, and we are looking forward to updating the review when we try more than a cold sub and a calzone. The options for the two items we did have were great, though. You have the option to add a wide variety of fresh veggies to a sub, and the amount of meat given in the sub was more than expected. They toasted my bread when I specifically asked them not to (I don't like how rigid it makes the bread when the sandwich is loaded up), but I'm sure that had it not been toasted, I'd have been very happy with the sub. My husband's calzone was well made, with the crust being the best part. He noted that on its own, the taste itself was a bit wanting, but with the sauce they provide, it hit the spot. The shop isn't huge, but they do offer takeout, which is definitely preferred these days anyway. They do have a giant television in the dining area - unclear if this is always the case or if it's just because no one is dining in. I think the guy behind the counter said two words to me, but my food was ready on time, and good overall. read more

The people here are rude. Not thinking about what they're doing and how they're doing it. They were shouting at my bf and not even giving him a chance to put his wallet away before shouting "it hasn't gone through yet". Plus every time we've asked them in the past not to cut our pizza they've cut it. What are you doing? read more

Good pizza, medium thin crust, the bottom is crispy which I really like. Very convenient for slices, they have the same types available daily and have a sign so you can easily identify what they have. Tried the garlic broccoli and tomato, pepperoni and hot pepper (banana pepper), and regular pepperoni. All were good and consistent with thickness and crust texture. No complaints, the staff was also helpful and friendly. Would definitely stop in again. read more

Pizza is still really good, a lot of attitude behind the counter tho. Someone tell Ron to smile every now and then

Pizza is always good but the service is embarrassingly bad, and the hours of operation are comical. Called to order a pizza at 6:30PM on a Friday night during football season and we were told they weren't taking any more orders. Brilliant read more

The Pontillos in Bushnell's Basin is hands down the best pizza in Rochester! It is a staple to get whenever we have out of town visitors or cannot figure out what we would like for dinner. read more

Service was good, as for ambiance, just a busy pizzeria, awful pizza. The crust wasn't fully cooked, was soggy and was poorly formed. Never again. read more

We were referred to this chain on multiple occasions. Hubs andnI were eager to give this place a try. Personally, I'm not a fan of this style of pizza. There is WAY too much dough creatung an improper toppings/sauce ratio. It felt as though I was chewing much longer than normal, which made the experience a lot less satisfying. No knock on those who love it. read more

By far, the best pizza and wings at this Pontillos location! The service and speed the kids work there is amazing to watch. They get a lot of pizza and other food out quickly and the quality is good and the personnel is always friendly. read more

Post-COVID Update: things running on all cylinders. Pizza is as good as always and no major changes at Pontillos. Have been getting delivery a lot lately, and it is always correct and always fast. A+ read more

For your chain pizza place I love this place! Pizza is always hot & fresh. Staff is friendly & my order has always been on point. They follow the social distancing rules & this location is pretty clean. Wings are awesome & prices are not to bad either! Would definitely recommend read more

My wife and I had hoped to hit one of the most talked about restaurants in Rochester. But after getting up at 4am to start the drive from Toronto and sight seeing all over Rochester, we were dead tired by 7pm. So we decided to find some delivery on Yelp to our hotel room. We ordered wings and pizza for delivery to the hotel. Medium Pizza -pepperoni -sausage -hot peppers -black olives -bacon Delivery was within 45 min as they told me and the delivery guy was friendly and funny enough, seemed excited for us! The pizza was heavy. I'm talking the pizza box had heft! The pie was loaded with toppings. And arrived hot! I absolutely loved it, the crust was thick. The pizza was a bit greasy..but in a good way (and understandable with the amount of meat). You'll need forks for all the extra toppings that will fall off if you get this same pie. In Toronto we seem to have two types of pizza. Cheap tasteless (corporate) or thin crust and a light sprinkling of gourmet toppings). Pontillo's is a throw back to 80's or 90's pizza that I knew. Loved it! Wings, good size. Crunchy exterior, moist interior. Ordered hot - could have been hotter (spicy) - but they were steaming hot. My wife also ordered a toss salad. I didn't try it but I heard no complaints from her. Only problem was there was no cutlery included. Luckily the hotel had forks in the kitchen. As I write this I wonder when I'll next be able to get another pizza like this. Highly recommend! Ask for forks, and extra sauce on the side for the wings. read more

I phoned in to place an order yesterday and the guy was very brief with me--I don't like that. If you're talking with the public, you need to hire friendly people. Anyway, I ordered a garlic bread with cheese ($4.32) and he asked me what type of cheese, I went with provolone, he said 10 minutes. I got there in 15 and the guy was busy for several minutes cutting up pizzas and unloading them from the oven. Listen buddy, I get it that you're busy, but when a customer walks in for their order, get the darn thing, don't keep working until you're good and ready. He finally pulled by garlic bread from the oven and of course because of his poor attention to it, he left it in too long and the bottom and edges were overcooked. He took my money and I was out of there. Not sure I'll go back with poor customer service like that, and on top of it, we both felt sick from it the next day. Also, I noticed the pizzas they make are made with super thick crusts. And, the pizzas they have for slices (around $2.25) just sit out in the open on a rack, lord only knows what flies on top of them--no thanks. I really question the sanitary conditions of this place. read more

What an operation. This place is like an airport runway - one car comes in one car goes out. They have 30 kids in there like a Ford Model T assembly line. I ordered 3 sheets with 6 dozen wings and they had my food ready in 25 minutes during the Friday evening dinner rush. Every pizza was cooked to perfection. The cherry on top was the complimentary blue cheese - as it should be. Most places nowadays charge $2 for blue cheese the size of a bird dropping. I was thoroughly impressed with this establishment - next time I stop in I'd like to shake the owner's hand. read more

Honestly my family's ordered from this place a billion times, they have great pizza. But today, get this, so my mom calls and asks for a large pizza half pepperoni half garlic(I'm not a big red sauce fan), anyone in their right mind would go okay half the pizza garlic no sauce and the other half sauced up with pepperoni yk the usual. Tell me why we got a pizza half pepperoni but the other half is cheese pizza with minced garlic covering it. So I tell my mom and she calls them up like hey this ain't right what can we do? (This pizza was 32 dollars.) They make her wait and then go the next time you order we will give you three dollars off. That 3 dollars is only 60% of the TIP my mom gave of 5 bucks meaning we'd basically be buying a pizza for the exact same price. It's just disappointing to say the least cause I thought they would respond better or help us out somehow but nope. And no it's not being eaten I just wanted to show yall what it looked like on a plate. read more

Love always! Only place we get pizza. Just wish they would get a spinach topping. I sure notice the neighbors love them too!

They load the pizza with DELICIOUS toppings! Great pizza and GREAT people! You will not be disappointed!

Professional pizza joint. Delicious- the pizza never disappoints. Haven't tried much else but maybe next time.

This is hands down the best pizza in Rochester. I've been coming to the Bushnell's Pontillo's for decades, and every time I try something else I'm always disappointed. On top of that, the owner and his crew are legitimately the best people. I am a loyal customer for life. read more

As a NYC transplant, I'm always missing a true pie. Pontillo's Basin serves just that - dough is perfect, lots of cheese, rich sauce, and can't go wrong with any of their toppings. 11/10 - grateful for fast delivery and delicious food! read more

I am visiting from Texas and this was the best Pizza I have had in a LONG time. Us Yankee's know how to do it right.

Took the Girl Scouts out horseback riding and after went to Pontillos to grab a pizzA and eat it at the Canal. As always WOW. the pizza at this Pontillos is nothing short than amazing. It is like when The Pizza gods created a pizzaria to visit themselves, they went to the Basin on the Eerie Canal and said "Let there be an awesomely delicious Pontillos" the crust is crisp but not thin or burnt. toppings are abundant and just wow....always. the taste of their pizza will make your taste buds explode with happiness. Like Duncan McCloud says in the movie Highlander...."There can be only one". Well this is it. read more

Okay pizza but staff seems a bit uninterested in their jobs. Maybe it was a bad day - who knows. Regardless, it doesn't help create a promising impression. read more

Amazing pizza!! I'm basing this review on my 50+ times I've been here during the lunch time hours. On arrival they have a wonderfully planned system where tell them what you want and pay, while another employee is already preparing your slice or order. This is a great in and out process. For pizza slices they have all kinds. Also the pizza is very consistent, you will never have a bad slice... ever!! The slices are perfectly sized and not gigantic like some place and the prices for every slice is $2 with free, yes free blue cheese. read more
