    Cheese pizza
    Jacob A.

    I think we may have found our favorite pizza spot in Rochester. Pizza and wings were fantastic. Parking was tough. Folks were pleasant.

    Pep & cheese

    I usually don't write reviews, but this is probably the best pizza in all Rochester. It's semi-tough find NYC style Pizza within Rochester. But this pizza is the best. This is the reason I stay in New York State when my family tells me we should move down south. Also if you get Pizza go to this location in the city it is much better than they're other locations. I even got it grubhubbed and it was still 10 outta 10 in quality.

    Fantastic variety of slices every day!

    Nothing fancy. Just thin crust, NY style pizza the way it's meant to be. A large selection of slices, efficient and generally pleasant service and somewhat dated, and therefore authentic, serving and dining areas. I highly recommend stopping in for a slice or two and a hint of real Brooklyn Pizzeria atmosphere. I stop here frequently when I venture into the city.

    Great pizza!! Awesome cinnamon knots! I googles best pizza near me and this Pizza Shop came up, so I had to try. Florida girl in NY

    Spinach garlic white pizza on the left, cheese on the right
    Max K.

    Yum! Huge selection of slices available during lunch. Garlic pizza with spinach or mushroom and broccoli, red sauce w/ sausage, pepperoni, various veggie mixes and more. They are quite busy during lunch time, but they are ready! I got my slices piping hot in record speed. I'm impressed. Huge selection, fast and delicious. Will be back!

    I usually only eat salvatores, but surprisingly the pizza (pepperoni and buffalo chicken) was good. The staff is ok.

    Vern's is definitely one of those spots that's worth a visit! They don't take reservations, and…read morewhen we arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening, it was packed. We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

    We tried out Vern's for the first time on a Thursday evening! We made it there by about 5:00 PM and…read moreit was easy enough to get a table for 2 with only indoor seating available. It's a small space inside but it's designed well enough to manage a flow of traffic for customers and staff. We sat in the back greenhouse area. I think the least enjoyable part of our experience was how loud it was in the restaurant. Definitely not a good spot if you're trying to catch up with someone and your voice doesn't carry. I couldn't actually hear the specials the server was telling us. I want to try out Vern's again, so I may wait until there's an outdoor table or ask to sit in the second level to see if that's quieter. We tried one of their spring menu appetizer items, the Japanese sweet potatoes with kimchi ranch and dill. One bite and I was addicted, these were so so good. We then moved on to the classics for entrees -- bee sting pizza and the ragu-- and we were amazed at how good everything was! The only note we had was about the pizza, it was very soggy in the middle but still edible if you rolled it over in itself. We also had a few cocktails, and while they were somewhat small, you could tell they weren't watered down in any way. Two drinks was more than enough for me. Overall it was a great experience and we want to try it again. If you're someone who struggles to enjoy a meal out where you can't hear much, maybe wait for outdoor tables.

    Stopped into Peels on Wheels yesterday with three friends for a mid-day lunch on a freezing…read moreRochester afternoon. Exactly what we needed. It's a true grab-and-go setup -- no real seating beyond a small high-top, and most people seemed to be taking their food to-go. The vibe is relaxed and unfussy. Service stood out. The man taking orders was very friendly and accommodating, and he let us know fresh pies were about to come out so we could wait for hot slices -- which we appreciated. I ordered the Rosa with pepperoni (they also offer it without) and the Buffalina. Both were very good, especially fresh out of the oven. Nice bonus: buy two slices and you get a free can of soda. Simple, solid pizza and great service. I'd definitely come back.

    I needed a quick bite before my flight and found Peels on Wheels on Yelp. From the friendly…read morecustomer service to the delicious food, everything was definitely five-stars. Louis was very helpful, explaining the menu and specials since it was my first visit. I decided to try the Detroit-style white top with Mike's honey drizzle and a pineapple Jarritos. While waiting, I sat on a few chairs outside in front of the garage. It took about 15 minutes, and my pizza was piping hot. My ricotta melted due to the steam, but it was still very good! The portion was generous, I could only finish one slice and took the rest to go. It's not a sit-down restaurant, it's perfect to take to-go; however, there is a table that you could stand and eat at, if you needed to. The decor was also nice and bright, with a unique twist with decor. Louis also mentioned they source most ingredients locally, which is noticeable in the freshness of every bite. He was kind enough to offer me a New York-style cheese slice, which was also delicious! While a little pricey, the quality justifies the price. I can't wait to return! If you're in the area, definitely check them out!
