The heist...
Phil W.

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!

Another enjoyable meal, made better by having our 3 dogs with us on the dog friendly patio!…read moreRelaxing vibe, nice breeze and good food. Check out the HUGE burgers and the amount of tender steak in my steak salad!

I've been here a couple times years ago with coworkers during lunchtime and decided to come by with…read morefriend today to check it out myself. Always remember the food was really good. Today, same thing, the food was really good. My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese with pork belly, I tasted the mac and it was delicious! I ordered a bacon, egg burger, asked for it to be cooked well, no pink, and it arrived with lots of pink. Instead of sending it back, I just ate half and brought the rest to go so I can cook and eat it later. Our waiter was great, I forget his name though, nice guy. So, when I arrived at 11:15am there was only one other couple seated. I walked in and said hello to the waitress (think her name was Sally), she gave me a very dry hello, I told her I was waiting for someone, she said they weren't there yet, sat me down for two, said something else but it was under her breath, I couldn't hear her, didn't feel very welcomed but it's okay. Our table had crumbs on it, my menu had crumbs on it. I was disappointed but honestly, I just wanted to have a good brunch with my friend so I cleaned it myself. I finally had a moment to take in the decor and it made me feel a little uneasy as I noticed a Hindu Buddha head, some scary dolls, sculptures and some weird decor going on, goats everywhere except one wall that had monkeys on it. Goats and monkeys are fine, just saying it was weird Whatever. Lol That's fine and all but it's just not my thing.

So this was a bit of a bust. Just got home from a trip and decided to order takeout. We really…read morewanted to try Papi's since we haven't yet in Lancaster. Called and ordered our food. A kids taco, an enchilada, chips and queso, and a carne asada burrito. I drove over 25 minutes later to pick it up. When I got into the village, I realized there was a street festival happening. The restaurant was busy but I talked to the hosts and got my order. I should've double checked each box but I was hungry and didn't think I had to. Got home. And this was the not correct order. My wife's enchilada was a chicken and cheese burrito. My carne asada burrito with pico and sour cream was actually a birria burrito. The only thing that seemed right was the kids taco with cheese and rice. I called when we noticed and talked to the same host. There was no solution offered, a pretty awkward silence and a quick apology before we hung up. We ended up eating the food instead of waiting for another order and it was fine. Nothing we really were craving so it wasn't great. Very disappointed. I know it was a busy night but this wasn't a complicated order and the service wasn't very helpful. Will definitely rethink takeout from here in the future.

Possibly the worst margarita any of us have ever had. There were 4 of us, and we all agreed, no…read morealcohol and tasted like it came straight from a bottle of that super sweet margarita mix from a grocery store. I would have expected better coming from a Mexican restaurant. At $15 per margarita, we spent $60 and koolaide would have tasted betted The Birra egg rolls, very very greasy and very little filling. Would not recommend The enchiladas ... imagine an enchilada with no enchilada sauce. They were not rolled either. Like small soft shell tacos,with a little chicken and melted cheese on top. Would never recommend them either The Spanish rice,at least that's what I think it was supposed to be, came out cold. It had zero flavor. No spice, no seasoning, no onions,or tomatoes, or some of the other things I have had in other restaurants. Very very disappointing. I was excited to try this location and then the new location at IsleView Park, but that will never happen. To say we were all disappointed is an understatement.

One tip if you're going for the band playing in the front room: don't sit on the enclosed patio. Even with the door open you really can't hear the music from there. I stayed and finished dinner of course because the Reuben was absolutely delicious. One funny moment was being served a beer in a Solo cup. At first it caught me off guard, but honestly with how slammed they were I totally understood -- I wouldn't want to be doing all those extra dishes either. After dinner I moved inside to try to actually hear the band. I ended up seated near the bathrooms, and unfortunately there was a pretty unpleasant smell in that area. Not sure if it was coming from the bathrooms because of how close the table was, but it definitely wasn't the best spot to sit. The hostess who sat me asked if I wanted a drink and I said yes, but about 20 minutes later someone else came over to ask me what I wanted again. I completely get that they were busy, so I'm not upset about it -- but the drink unfortunately never made it to the table. Overall, the food was great and the place clearly draws a crowd for live music, but seating location really matters if you're there for the band
