    Small cheese, pep, mush, onion
    Laura D.

    Just like Josh Allen! Pizza is always reliably, EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! They followed my wants and needs to a tee. They really listen especially if you're not happy. So, they WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!

    The outdoor seating. Three picnic tables. All empty on a temperate summer Saturday evening around 6pm.

    First thing is first. I owe a huge debt of thanks to Fox E. for the recommendation. That man is a genius when it comes to Buffalo pizza and wings. Second, more than anything, eating wings this good at a divey little take out pizza place in South Buffalo just makes me angry. Angry at so many things. Angry that so many other wing places fall far short of the brilliance of these wings. Angry at folks who flock to places that are banking on their historical reputations rather than the quality of their wings. Angry at those places who know better but still put out inferior wings. Dear God, these wings are good. From Fox's fingers to my ears. Wings, medium, extra saucy. There is no need to ask for them crispy, because these wings are perhaps the crispiest I have ever had. Even crispier than at Fox's other favorite place. AND that crispiness does not come at the expense of juiciness. Not at all. The meat is tender, flavorful, and pulls cleanly from the bones. If I was picking at nits, I might knock off a point for a broken emulsion in the sauce. But hot damn, that medium stuff is tasty and the exactly the flavor profile I want in a classic wing from this part of the word. Wings come with celery sticks and a nice super chunky blue cheese cup. At first I was concerned WiseGuys may have switched over to Ken's industrial cups, since I saw a case of those sitting in the fridge, but thankfully those concerns were misplaced. It's a damn near perfect wing. While Buffalo style pizza is still not my thing, this is one of the better versions I have tried. Perhaps because the dough isn't quite as thick. Don't get me wrong. It's still thick and doughy, as it should be. Just not quite as high. And I dig those thick cut, cup and char pepperoni. We were the only people I saw eating our food on site. There are two booths inside, and one small two-top in the window. On the side deck there are three picnic tables. There are no bathrooms. Tap water wasn't available and Dasani is what they have in bottles. There is little ambiance. Eating outside meant being asked for a dollar from a passing local, and then breathing in his second hand smoke as he sat on the steps and had a conversation with an equally colorful guy from the neighborhood. But you know what? With food this good, I am happy to put up with all of this and more. Eating these wings filled me with such a sense of bliss and joy, and yes anger too, but much much more joy. These are what wings should be. Everywhere. All the time. I feel like everyone who eats wings should come here and get a taste. Then, perhaps, we might be less forgiving of every other place that falls so far short of this benchmark. This is why wings are famous. This is why Fox E is a national treasure. The best foods are rarely found at the famous places. They are at these little off the beaten path places that hold the line and do damn fine work day in and day out. Get here. Get happy. Then get angry. Then tell your friends and anyone else who will listen. I am already looking forward to my next visit, whenever that may be. Oh, one last thing. On a Saturday night the slice display was empty. Maybe that's because it was Saturday night. Forewarned is forearmed. Regardless, it doesn't change a thing about the excellence and surprising supremacy of WiseGuys.

    A large two slice of cheese & pepperoni pizza

    This is my absolute favorite place to get pizza! Outside seating is available with a few booths inside to enjoy.

    Divey pizza & wings with daily specials and everyday combo deals. Great plump and crispy wings, Zane excellent (if slightly doughy) pizza.

    Slice of "pizza"
    Savannah M.

    First time customer here ....We ordered a slice of pizza to go along with the rest of our order and this is what we received. Come on! You seriously box something up that looks like this? I am torn between a 1 star for appearance and a 4 star for taste. To charge for this mess is crazy work.

    Medium Pepperoni pizza
    Clifford H.

    I was in town for one evening and decided to try a local pizza place. All I can say is that it was an exceptionally good pizza. The dough had just the right amount of thickness, the pizza sauce was outstanding with a robust taste and the toppings were liberally applied and tasted perfect. If I ever go back to Buffalo I will definitely be going back for more pizza. I highly recommend this pizza joint!!

    Classic cheese and pepperoni
    Brielynn B.

    Mmmm! Loved, loved, loved this pizza. Just sticking with a staple, we ordered a large cheese and pepperoni pizza, with a side of blue cheese. This pizza was delicious. Perfectly crispy, classic buffalo cupped/spicy pepperoni and simple cheesy goodness. The sauce was different with a little bit of a sweeter touch, and once I added a little crushed red pepper, it was the perfect balance. If you look at the picture, it's almost like there was no crust on the pizza because it was perfectly covered in toppings, and that's exactly how I like my pizza! Every bite was full of flavor. I'm bummed that I am so late in trying this spot, but so glad that I finally did!

    Honest mustard fingers with fries
    Bianca S.

    It's been years since I've had wise guys and I was not disappointed. They used to have another location that closed. This location is south buffalo had some of the best fingers I've had in a long time. A little bit more pricey than others places for fingers, but totally worth it. Their blue cheese is so good not like the Ken's dressing most restaurants just give out. I can't wait to go back. Service was cool, I had an issue, and they fixed it for me. There were a couple tables inside and some old school video games to play. I also saw a Christmas tree and that they are collecting toys for something, which is nice.

    We love Wiseguys, they always treat us like family and the food is scrumptious. They keep it simple and just follow through with there customer service. They are very considerate and always open to feedback.

    Terrible quality pizza. It used to be so good and I'm not sure what happened. Pizza is soupy, undercooked and gross.

    Wow. Hands down some of the best pizza we've had…read more We ordered the San Felice Pizza -- San Marzano tomatoes, house-made sausage, sweet and spicy peppers, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil -- and it was absolute perfection. The flavors don't compete... they melt together into one big, perfect masterpiece. The peppers leaned sweet (no real heat), which made them the ideal companion to the delicious sausage. And that sausage? Made in-house and seasoned beautifully, with the perfect amount of fennel -- enough to give it that classic Italian character without overpowering the pie. Perfection! The buffalo mozzarella added creamy richness, the basil kept everything bright, and the San Marzano tomatoes were clean and balanced. We love pizza in all its forms -- New York style and Napoli alike -- but there is something about the rustic goodness of true Neapolitan pizza that has a special place in my pizza-loving heart. That airy, soft center and char-kissed crust from the wood-fired oven is magic. The use of such fresh ingredients makes Forno Napoli my favorite pizza on NY so far - authentic and intentional. There is a lot of love and pride in everything from the handmade crust to all of the toppings. They also serve a garlic butter and cheese dipping sauce for the crust -- indulgent and completely unnecessary in the BEST possible way. That blistered crust dipped in that sauce? Unreal. The cheese? Yes, they have the most beautiful wheel of pecorino they hand grate from to make this happen. No green shaker bottles here! We met Felix, the owner, and he was incredibly welcoming. He has such great energy -- warm, engaging, and clearly passionate. You can tell he's the heartbeat behind the recipes and the success of the business. It feels personal. He made us want to share just how great our entire experience was and he certainly made us want to return. Our only regret? We were too full to try another pizza. Do not hesitate. This truly is a slice of heaven.

    I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time and finally made it in!…read more There's menus at the counter and you can take your own seat. When you're ready to order, head up to the counter. After ordering, head back to your seat and the will bring you your food when it's ready. My friend had the meatball sandwich (napoletana panini). It looked fantastic. But when I asked his rating, he gave it 6/10 stars. However, I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like cheese so take it with a grain of salt I was torn between the Bianca and Quattro pizza so I asked the kind man at the register for his suggestion; he said the Bianca is more popular so I went with that. I enjoyed my pizza, although I wouldn't order this one again. I do want to say that it is pricey but you will get a very big pie of great quality. The dough was excellent! It was actually my favorite part and I've never said that about any pizza! Atmosphere is extremely casual. There's fruit infused waters to have and you go and grab them yourself (back right corner). But you can order bottles of soda, alcohol, etc. Also in the back right corner are small pizza boxes for leftovers you can grab if needed. When you cash out, be sure to enter your phone number for the rewards program!

They had carrot cake available for dessert and it was delicious.

    I went to Tappo this past Tuesday before a Sabres game with my brother and overall it was a really…read moresolid pre-game dinner spot in Downtown Buffalo. While we had a 5pm reservation, in hindsight it probably wasn't necessary as we were seated right away and quickly greeted by our server, Allie G. To start, I ordered the Apple Cider Mule (mocktail) which was festive and delicious while my brother went for the Logan Mule (so Buffalo). Naturally, we wanted bread (what I thought was a given in an Italian restaurant). Sadly, it was $3 for warm bread, which felt a little rude, but of course I ordered it and devoured it, too! I also started with the mushroom bisque that was on special and it was fantastic as it was rich, flavorful, and the kind of soup you want to eat slowly so it lasts longer. For my entree I chose the Crespelle while my brother got his favorite, the Brasciole. The food was truly the highlight of the evening. Everything was prepared well and very, very satisfying. I would say that the service, unfortunately, left a bit to be desired. Not terrible, but not great. I hate having to ask another server to bring a box, the check, etc. because our server was no where to be found. There is free parking somewhere, though we only noticed the sign for it after we had already paid to park. That said, the atmosphere at Tappo is always lovely and the portions were generous for the price. Of course, I'd absolutely return - especially to try one of their fun igloos someday!

The restaurant has a very generic modern bar scene vibe with roll up doors and the bar dominating the space. The staff were friendly and promptly directed me to the bar for my take out order, which was mildly delayed. The spaghetti and meatballs were basic. The sauce left much to be desired and a basic jarred sauce is more enjoyable. The shrimp were properly cooked, but the risotto did not shine. The dish lack cohesion and it was as though they cooked rice and tossed it in a flavorless sauce. The accompanying lobster sauce was desperately needed, but underdeveloped. The dish needed significant seasoning improvements.
