    First time trying small Pizza from the Heist
    H L.

    First time trying the Heist. Excellent in and out service, Pizza flavor was an "A", the price was right, and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend.

    The heist...

    Super clean interior, friendly cashier at the register. Perfect presentation on the pizza, sauce is on the sweet side and it had the perfect amount of cheese. Pizza logs, well they're pizza logs. Nothing really spectacularly different than most other ones. Wings. Touch on the smaller side, sauce was sparse on the medium and wasn't really "medium" it ate like a dry mild. The garlic parm, I'm sure was buttery, but the paper container drank most of that up. On par with most pizzerias, if you're close it's worth it, but not worth traversing the city like we did.

    Decent slices for great prices!

    Pizza Heist has decent pizza for great prices. A tomato paste tasting sauce with a good amount of cheese. Two slices are about $5. You can't beat that pricing anywhere in Lancaster! My biggest gripe with PH is that they don't serve slices after 4pm. So don't bother stopping in for a few for dinner because they just don't have them. I get that's their busiest time but the financial benefits of offering slices would be worth it. I've never known a place not to offer them all day. The parking lot is also the absolute worst. The intersection where it is located is one of the busiest 4-way stops in the area and their parking lot consists of 4 parking spots, backing right into the street. It's awful. That alone would keep me from going there. The pricing is the reason I do.

    Pizza was good, I like that the crust isn't paper thin. Could use a sprinkle of oregano on top though. But the cleanliness of the place is questionable. Ceiling fans had cobwebs on them, garbage can was half full yet the place had just opened.

    Shawn's Pizza Reviews REVIEW # 1 THE PIZZA HEIST Lancaster, NY Score 6.3 The Pizza Heist had the right idea with a thick slice that looks very appealing to a Pizza eater. A prime location on the corner of Como Park Blvd & Aurora St with okay customer service. Unfortunately, the pizza was decent at best.

    Yeah I like the black olives; wanna fight about it?

    I love the dense, oregano heavy, thick sauce. A little sweet. The sauce so rarely sticks out at places. This one does. It reminds me of childhood somehow. Also a slight biscuity crunch of the dough reminds me of Chicago style. It's a local place that tries to stand out. It isn't some fancy brick oven, Neapolitan, New York, New Haven, Coal Fired, Detroit, style this-or-that.... It's consistent stuff every time. Very much in the Buffalo vein. And a good deal. Standard, hot, fresh, good quality pizza from a local joint that you should go to.

    I'm roni eating half of it

    If this pizza were in college, it would win the Pizza Heisman. But it isn't in college, because Ariana Grande showed it how to graduate. So rather than the Pizza Heisman, you just seriously need to get down to Depew-Lancaster and try the Pizza Heist, man. Just don't show up when the place is being robbed, okay? I mean with a name like this, it gets robbed all the time. And usually at gunpoint. You don't wanna be in that room when those robbererers bring that Bang Bang into the room. And you might get that Pizza all over you. But if you do, they'll let you have it. And you'll be like... wait a minute, can you heat this up (ah ah), wait a minute can you (ahhhhh). Not a fan of that song. But yeah I know Domino's been good to you, you need a Pizza Heist to blow your miiiiiiiiind. What to get: Slices. There are some pretty amazing slices in Western NY, but Pizza Heist is right up there with the very best of them. Not only amazing, juicy, delicious, Imperial-esque slices, but amazing service and prices too. Slices and prices... two reasons to go here. I mean look at the name. And the marquee says "a meal for a steal!" and they are right. Maybe because they market themselves as dirt cheap, people think they are also dirt poor quality. Not at all. It's some of the best pizza around. The first time I went in, they endeared themselves to me by selling me a slice for around $2 which totally rocked my world and was significantly better than most of the other slices I've had. Typical Buffalo pizza but done right... fluffy sexy doughy crush with generous hot melted greasy cheese and yummy tasting not-too-sweet homemade herby tomato sauce and those pepperonis that turn up at the edges and get slightly burned and turn into bubbling cauldrons of heart-stopping grease. Yeah, DON'T eat pizza too often. But when you do, try Pizza Heist. I don't always eat Pizza. But when I do, I Heist it. So the second time I came here it was even better. It was late night (they're open til Midnight, baby) and they were about to close, so they had no slices left. But they had a "burned pizza" from earlier which wasn't that burned and still tasted amazing. They said... you can have these 5 slices if you want... I was like... hmm, okay. How much? Oh, it's free. They're burned and we're closing. Okay then... so I tipped them heavily and took the slices (which they kindly warmed back up for me!) and they were absolutely fantastic. So this place earns top marks on every level, for me. I could not recommend it more highly, and it is easily one of the 10 best slice places in WNY in my none-too-humble opinion. So in the words of AG, they literally let me have it. Not that. I mean the pizza. Neither Pizza Heist nor AG has ever let me have *that*. And I'm okay with that. I don't like salt with my pepper anyway, I prefer pepperonly. Tomato is another day. I thank Jesus crust I am still here to write about pizza. Dough not ever take anything for granted. If you feel down, locate the sauce of your negativity and get it out of your life. Three cheese for great Buffalo Pizza!

Located right on central ave , there is street parking along the tree lined street. There is a counter where you order and a seating counter along the large picture window . The place sits about 30 max. It's bright and airy, but it was freezing the day we went - to the point where a few of us kept on our winter coats . The little cafe tables are marble like you'd see in a bistro, and they make an effort to keep them clean - accounting for their 100% health score! The menu has many drinks, hot and cold to choose from. Lattes, chai, boba, smoothies, and also offers some food- I didn't try it but the burger looked great. Husband and I both had lattes- made Quickly and brought to our table- the coffee was Smooth- could have been a bit hotter. He had a lemon muffin which had a nice surprise inside ofLemon curd.

    Walking around downtown Lancaster, I saw plenty of places to grab dinner. Running a search on my…read moreYelp app for best restaurant for dinner, Skoob's Village Grille popped up and all-in-all, it was a good experience. I walked in around 7:20pm on a Wednesday night to a busy restaurant and bar. I had no issues with parking as I used one of the public parking lots near downtown and took a short walk over, but if tried to find a parking spot on the street, that would've been pretty difficult. I did see the parking lot for a, now closed for good, Rite Aid that had a few cars and some open spaces, so that seems to be an option as well. Upon walking in there was a host station, which said to wait for the host to seat you. Past the host station, there is a good-size bar and several high-top tables and chairs, a separate dining room with plenty of tables and chairs for families/larger groups, as well as an outdoor patio with more high tables and chairs. Plenty of TVs were hung up around the bar/restaurant and classic rock was playing over the speakers, but it wasn't too loud, you could carry a conversation with relative ease. The hostess was going to seat me but then a random couple came, ignoring the sign, and took it that table... The hostess managed to find me another high-top table by their outdoor patio entrance. After I was seated, I was forgotten about for nearly 15 minutes. I was about ready to get up and leave when one of the waitresses going in/out of the patio stopped by and asked if anyone was taking care of me. She apologized and immediately took my drink order. Once I got my drink, I was about ready to order dinner but was undecided, so I asked her what's the more popular item and went with it. The wait for my dinner was a bit long, nearly 40 minutes passed by the time my dinner was brought out - At this point, it was after 8pm. For dinner, I ordered their Chicken Finger Sub, with the fingers sauced in their "Jessie's Everything" specialty sauce (a small upcharge) and topped with bleu cheese served with a side of fries. The chicken finger sub was excellent! The chicken tenders were fried perfectly and there was the right amount of lettuce, tomato, red onion. The "Jessie's Everything" sauce was great - It wasn't too spicy-hot, the sauce reminded me of a banana pepper. The Constanzo roll with the tomatoes on the bottom did make this sub a little hard to eat as the filling kept sliding around and falling out the sides, but it was worth the mess! The fries were fine, nothing special. Looking over my bill, I thought the price for my dinner was reasonable for the quality and quantity I received. Skoob's Village Grille nails the vibe of being the bar in a small town where everyone goes to for a drink, classic bar food, and to relax with friends. If I have one nitpick, I think the service times need to be looked at and improved. But even with that nitpick, I'd come back and try one of their burgers or an order of chicken wings with one of their specialty sauces!

    First time here and just moved recently to the village. Brooke was amazing!!! Super attentive,…read morequick, and made sure I had everything before I even had to ask. She recommended multiple things but I ultimately decided on the Royal Sub and it was hands down the best I've ever had. Service and food were both top tier. I'll definitely be back.
