    a tray of chicken wings
    Marissa B.

    Ordered Saturday night takeout from The Pizza Chef. 30 minute wait for our pizza. Not bad for a Saturday. Ordered wings and a large pizza. Love that you get a dozen wings (noticed not many places do a dozen now) The wings came with a sizable side of blue cheese. They were extra crispy and the buffalo medium was pleasantly spicy. Loved the pizza. Nice and thin. Great flavor. Pleased with our dinner choice!

    Small pizza with mushroom, onion, banana peppers
    Doug L.

    Went and ordered a small pizza with a few items. First the small isn't small. You'll get a second meal out of it so the prices are pretty good. Friendly staff. The crust was a bit mushy. It was undercooked a little. Cheese and ingredients were good. I also tried a slice of Mediterranean. Too much cheese for me They had a good choice of soda. No beer or wine The tables were nice Not a lot of seating but most people coming in seemed to be getting take out

    Half broccoli half sausage garlic pizza
    Lydia M.

    I really like their pizza, especially with the garlic sauce. I love broccoli on my pizza and I feel like they put the perfect amount and size of pieces. I'm not as big of a fan of their sheet pizza because the dough is usually really chewy for some reason. I would still eat it though.

    a pepperoni pizza in a box
    Sam B.

    Got pizza last night for dinner. Not bad at all. The crust was thin and cooked well. No floppy slice like some pieces can get. It was a tad greasy but their was also a lot of pepperoni.

    Large Cheese Pizza
    Andrew A.

    Not typically a fan of "NY Style" pizzas, but this place made a pretty amazing one this evening! They didn't have cup and char pepperonis - otherwise I'd probably be handing out 5 stars. Got a large cheese pizza, and whatever cheese blend they used, was absolutely delicious! Had just the right amount of sauce, and it wasn't too sweet or too sour like some other joints. The crust was above average as well, though nothing mind-blowing. Prices were pretty standard for what you'll usually see around Rochester. I'd def order from here again if I'm ever in the Fairport area again.

I originally thought they sold slices, but that's just a lunchtime option. Honestly, I wasn't disappointed at all to order a whole pizza instead! We got a half cheese / half sausage, mushroom, and olive. It came out hot and ready in under 10 minutes and was served right at our table. The toppings were generous, and we ate almost the entire thing. My son loved picking out a bag of Ruffles to go with his slices, and it was great that they had cold drinks on-site too. Looking around, it was clear that there are a lot of regulars including families. The people who work here clearly care about their customers, which makes for such a great atmosphere. When I tried to tip at the counter, the cashier politely declined and simply asked me to come back again. Since the table was serviced, I left a tip there. I was truly grateful for and impressed by their hospitality. Pro tip: they're cash only, so make sure to have some on hand. I'll definitely be back again!

Six o'clock reservation on a saturday walked right in and got seated. It is a bit cavernous (older brick building which used to be home to American Can Co). Was not cramped with well spaced tables and not overly loud, did not notice any music playing and was not crowded with a few open tables. Menus were printed on the paper table placings (front/back) which probably came about because of Covid and a great idea. Found serving sizes ample and food well cooked and seasoned. Hugh plate of egg plant parm, two rib bone in pork chop cooked to perfection, beef short rib, "The Bear" (off the bone, they also had a short rib special on the bone this night), 4th entree was a pasta dish (gnocchi?). Did not have drinks other than water and a couple of beers so can not review wines or mixed drinks. Only reason for 4 stars is the parking is horrible on location so save yourself the time and park right across the street at the municiipal free parking.

We got a selection of appetizers and they were all good: Brussels sprouts, meatballs and calamari. I opted for the veal parm which was a generous serving with pasta. One of my companions opted for a pizza which looked delicious. I opted for the "nonna's mule" as my drink and it was refreshing. It's always nice to be surprised by good Italian food because I don't always want to cook it myself!

In town for an 80's party, I was hoping to find some place that wasn't too far from our hotel, was open after we got out of the party at 1AM, and would be able to stuff my starving stomach. Generally this place has a very fast-food place vibe, though the garbage plate market is usually just central to this area. They didn't just have plates on their menu, but a couple of other things like burgers and desserts, but I mean...why would you not want to order a plate? I knew exactly what I wanted when I strolled in, and I ended up with a tasty combo of macaroni salad and french fries, topped with some moderately hot chicken fingers, that good hot meat sauce topping, and a ton of mustard, ketchup, and onions all slathered in there. I love that they hand you your food in a styrofoam take-home container, like they know you're going to bring your artery-clogging intestinal nightmare home with you. It came with a few slices of bread to soak up all the tasty juices in your stomach and some plastic utensils. I don't claim to be a garbage plate expert, as I've only had two plates in my lifetime (the second being from this Fairport Hots), but man, this place gave me a pretty freaking delicious garbage plate. I think I have some magical power where I can tolerate hot n' spicy foods the later in the night I eat, because the plate I ordered pulled all the hot stops and I was loving the spicy tingling sensation in my mouth. I'd definitely try to come back here if I'm ever in the area again.
