The best pizza around ! Huge and I mean huge slices during lunch time special ! Dude working during day makes the best pizza we ever had there or any pizzeria for that matter. Highly recommended read more

First time here and Buffalo in general. Saw boxes of their pizza in our place of work that's why we came here. If locals order from thsi place and see them enjoy the food, we thought it might be good. Plenty of parking and on a Wednesday, very busy compared to other restaurants we have seen in the area. The server was bubbly and kept on checking on us. I enjoyed the pizza read more

The pizza here is like Chicago deep dish pizza without the pan: the risen dough is 3/4" high and filled like a pool with delicious sauce, cheese and toppings. It's an affordable feast! The service was also friendly and efficient. The place has been expanded with additions over the years from the original building. The high walls in one room are covered with old photos of the restaurant and surrounding Batavia area. You can feel the history here. read more

Batavia’s Original - I need a rake and gardening sheers to tackle this awesome Antipasto salad ! - Pizza Near Me - Batavia, New York

The food is incredible especially the pizza. The service is amazing. And the theme is amazing.

Great chicken Parma. Huge portion and very tasty. Side salad was include Definitely will take some home

I have to update my review to a 1. I'd give it a 0 if I could. The last 6 times I have came out here for a slice - they had no slices available. I've asked previously about this, and I was told that I needed to come "at lunchtime." I came out here to Batavia from Rochester at noon for a slice - again, no slices available. I'm not sure what they consider "lunchtime," but feels ridiculous that a pizza shop does not have slices, yet most gas stations do. So, I am done trying to come here anymore. read more

Great food, great price, run by great people! Food is always done on time when we order carryout. We are never disappointed. read more

Stopped in this afternoon for a quick bite of pizza. When we've come previously they've sold pizza by the slice but we were pleasantly surprised to learn they had a lunch buffet while we stopped in. This was not the largest buffet you're going to visit, however, it was one of the most tasty with a full salad bar, two pastas, two pizzas, boneless wings, garlic knots, and a dessert station. All of the hot food was hot, the cold food was cold, and the flavor of everything was incredible. We came across this by accident and can't wait to return! read more

We were on our way to another restaurant and noticed a sign advertising their 50 cent wings on Wednesday night. Turned around and never looked back as my husband loves wings. We got 3 orders: Bee's Knees Bourbon, Raspberry and Sweet and Sour. The wings were meaty, a good size and the sauces were yummy. My personal favorite was the Bourbon. As an after though we decided we shouldn't choose 3 that were all glazey and sweet, but that was our mistake. Carrots, celery and blue cheese are extra, and you must buy a beverage in order to take advantage of the deal, which I think is somewhat standard in these sorts of deals. The service was good, the wings were good, and I can't speak to anything else as wings were all that we ordered. Would head back to get the wing deal on a future Wednesday, or a different night for one of their other food choices, I was particularly intrigued by the deep dish pizza on their menu. We have been looking for a good deep dish pizza, and would like to try theirs to see if it has something on Chicago. read more

Ate with friends here on a double date recently. The guys got personal pizzas and the girls got salads. Everything was fantastic. Server was right on top of it. We stayed past closing and we got no pressure, they were happy to let us finish. Great experience. read more

been a customer all my life there but apparently I have to buy something to use their bathroom. but I guess that's just the way they choose their business. read more

I don't know how I've never reviewed them before, but it's one of our favorite pizza places. This is the sit of one of the original Pontillo's Pizza restaurants and Batavia's original is actually owned by members of the Pontillo's family but they can't use the name for legal reasons. The offer a full menu for dine-in or take out and have added a bar. Seasonally the have a huge screened deck for outdoor dining that we like to take advantage of. Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

Ordered Family Deal online. Wanted hot wing sauce on half the wings and half Nawlings Blues sauce on the other.. apparently they just mixed the 2 sauces and put it on the wings nothing separated and drenched. Ask for pizza to be pie cut that didn't happen. Wouldn't have bothered me as much if the pizza would have been actually cooked. Middle of the pie was completely raw. Must be tough to actually read the online orders. Last time they gave me someone else's pizza. 2nd time I've been screwed. I won't order from here again. read more

Went for lunch with a $5 off coupon, paid $36.18, we had 2 calzones and 2 soft drink. thought it was high. Checked the on line menu, it came out to $33.05, $3.13 more, so the $5 off was never applied and charged more than what it should be. Then, when the food was brought to the table was informed they were out of sausage for the italian meat calzone and added extra pepperoni, instead of before it was made to give an option to change it. then, had to get our own to go boxes for left overs. Food ok, service not good. read more

Got calzones from Batavia's Original last night with my fiancé and they never disappoint! They have my favorite calzones that I've had anywhere. Always so delicious and you get so much for a good price. read more

The ad in the paper says all offers are good all day. I get there for the buffet at 3:00 and I'm told they are taking it down. How do you not honor what you advertise? False advertising! read more

Batavia's Original is not what I remember it when it was Pontillo's back in the day, but you can't complain when you're looking for Sunday lunch in Batavia. I opted for a soup and salad... And I've been meaning to get my hands on some French onion soup lately. It came in a larger than most crock (which was good considering the 4.99 price)... And it was actually REALLY tasty! It also came with a slice of garlic bread. I tried their February salad special as well... A pittsburgh salad which is reminiscent of a Primanti Brothers sandwich in salad form. Waffle fries, shaved steak, a bed of lettuce. My only complaint was that it wasn't hot enough. That dressing it came with (warmed poppyseed something or other) wasn't my favorite so I needed something else. Luckily they had Frank's and I was then satisfied with my meal. Presentation want great, but I don't expect five star plate art when I'm dining at the local pizzeria. Wait staff was pleasant. Wait time was relatively short. And my friend and I managed to find some place to eat since our first and second choices happened to be closed on this particular Super Bowl Sunday. All in all, who can complain? read more

We have ordered periodically from here. Over the past few years they are hit or miss. Mostly miss lately. Today the food showed up really fast, which is actually unusual for them. However the wings were overcooked and weren't even fully covered in the sauce. The pizza was not fully cooked. It is so disappointing when you spend $60 for a simple pizza and wings and they continually mess up. Such a shame. Years ago it was always a great meal. read more

Awesome food great prices. We have gone many times haven't been disappointed yet !! Would recommend!!

First off I wanna say, the people I talked to and my delivery driver were the nicest, most polite people that I have dealt with in New York in a very, very long time. I love you guys. I ordered pizza for delivery, I was told 45 minutes and it arrived in about 30 minutes. Hats off to y'all. Another plus, the pizza and garlic knots I ordered were piping hot. Love it. I didn't take a picture before I started but this is the picture I took when I decided to quit eating. The crust was hard as a rock. The sauce left something to be desired. It almost seemed like it was painted on with a paintbrush. There was nothing to it, it was all dried up. The cheese was burnt and crispy. But the pepperonis were freakin greasy awesomeness. So there's that. The pepperonis on the pizza and the garlic knots were great. I'll try your pizza one more time but, guys you got to work on your sauce and maybe not leave it in the oven so long and if you have to extend your delivery time a little bit longer to take more care on the pizza, please do so. read more

This is an update...I truly do not understand why it is so hard for pizzerias to be consistent with what they serve. Last time we ordered it was awesome. I did pay extra for thick crust. This time opted for the x-large with regular crust. Garbage. So thin and looked & tasted like the dough had been rolled out for awhile before the pizza was baked. The middle of this pie was total goo. You would think that with the crust being so thin it would have been cooked thru. Overall, gross. So gross and so disappointing. read more

We ordered 4 different entrees from the catering menu for our holiday lunch. Lasagna, chicken parm, eggplant parm, and pasta alfredo. WoW! It was all delicious and we had enough for lunch the next day too! read more

Sorry but this place went downhill imho, their classic cheese and pepperoni was the most bland and tasteless pizza I've ever received in my life. If the basics aren't good you're doing something wrong. I will say some of their specialty pizzas aren't bad but with so many pizza joints in Batavia why settle? Especially when main st is down the road. read more

Pizza arrived Luke warm, barely cut through. Had to cut it ourselves. Crust is so tough only interior squares could be chewed. Worst dough in town. Service was good. Patio has worst plastic uncomfortable chairs in town. Patio also full of flies. Sam & Betty would be ashamed. read more

I just waited for 2 1/2 hours after being waited on (6:30pm-9pm) for chicken wings and ended up leaving never got the wings and they said they comp'd us for the wings we never got, So they didn't actually comp us for anything. And all the owner lady said was sorry. You wasted my time. read more

It definitely is the same Pontillo's recipe. Crispy on the bottom, chewy in the middle, topped with both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Yummy. They have large 24 inch pizzas now. They advertise jumbo slices. It's pretty cheap, two slices two toppings for $7.75 read more

The cook complains loud enough for the guests to hear that they do NOT want to accommodate anyone with an allergy, especially gluten free. If you have an allergy, I Would NOT eat here. Not sure why they have gluten free items on their menu. Would not recommend. First and last time here. I wish I could give ZERO stars read more

Good carry out pizza. Staff was young and inexperienced. Pizza was steaming hot and when home was a good eat. Pepperoni and cheese was better than expected. Must have been the cheese and crust combination. Also had spinach and mushrooms on other half. Was cut in squares which was great to share combinations. read more

We were on our way home from Niagara Falls and stayed overnight in the Batavia area. Looked on Yelp for some help for local pizza joints to order some delivery to our hotel. I see "big slices", I think, "ok, we are in state of NY, should be some decent NY pizza, right?" I should have known I was in for trouble when the girl on the phone was having difficulty understanding wanted a small container of "crushed red pepper." The pizza came and it was cut Chicago style! what the what? This is New York! Come on! Then, it was mostly crust. To add insult to injury, she did not send me the crushed red pepper flakes I asked for, but giardiniera like peppers, no carrots or cauliflower bits. Just odd. I also ordered a bowl of Italian wedding soup, that was woefully bland. The dinner salad was fine, but the oil and vinegar on the side was oddly packaged. Literally, a container of oil and a container of vinegar, which was not particularly tart like vinegar should be, was it watered down? I don't know. The best thing I can say about this place was that it delivered to my room door and it was open until midnight on a Friday night. read more

Good service yet disappointing pizza. I went here about a month ago with two friends after a day trip to Niagara falls. One of my friends is a local that said this was the best pizza in Batavia. As an avid pizza lover I had to try this place. I didn't even look at the reviews beforehand and have drawn the same disappointed conclusion. Their pizza is nothing to write home about. The service was average and the atmosphere was nice with plenty of room and seating. They even have outdoor seating which looked equally pleasing. We began by ordering garlic bread and medium chicken wings. The garlic bread was yummy with plenty of flavor and the nice added touch of cheese. The wings were of average size and taste. The sauce was decent yet tasted like redhot and butter, something I can make at home just as well if not better. The appetizers were a nice way to start off the meal but what I was really looking forward to was the pizza. We ordered all pepperoni with half hot peppers. When the pizza came out it looked delicious with thick fluffy crust so I eagerly took a piece with peppers. As I bit into it expecting that burst of flavor you get from pizza there was a lack of such satisfaction. I continued eating thinking that it was just too hot to taste the flavor but even into the second and third slice there was an empty taste accompanied with longing for pizza goodness. I still can't pinpoint what went wrong with it. It wasn't gross by any means but it was missing something. Maybe the dough didn't have enough salt or the sauce had no seasonings but I ended up resorting to my go to action when the taste of something is lacking flavor: drench it in hot sauce. In the end I ordered a pumpkin cannoli which looked and tasted great, but still didn't make up for the craving I had for a good pizza. Overall, I don't know what other options there are in Batavia for pizza but next time I would much prefer to spend $15 on ingredients to make my own pizza, which I know will be good, rather than leaving dissatisfied. read more

Hardly anyone in the restaurant upon arrival. Waitress took our pitcher of soda and never brought it back after telling us shed be right back. Pizza wasn't cut. Manager is a BITCH. Never rectifies any situation and treats her help like shit read more

Very disappointed in the service the owner sat us after asking if we wanted to sit outside gave us a table inside (because tables were dirty outside) we were also showed very poor attitude, as if we were disturbing them. Most frustrating part was watching the owner get food and eating Multiple plates while we waited an hour for 2 orders of wings, just to receive the wrong single order of food 40 minutes in. It also took 15 min for our drinks to come. Everyone looked to be busy but service was terrible, no one came to tell us it will just be a few more minutes or to apologize for the long wait. This was not the first time eating there but will certainly be the last. . read more

This was a disappointing experience. The only positive was our waitress! The fans blowing from above started the evening poorly. The plate being dirty was next. Then the pizza looked like whoever made it threw all the extra toppings in the middle & forgot the outside not to mention the sauce was almost nonexistent. The garlic Parmesan wings were excellent we asked for crispy & they were! We won't be back. read more

Since I was here last Batavia's Original has gone a steep slope down hill! My two children and I ate at the restaurant, each ordering separate entrees. First off we waited an hour just for the appetizer of mozzarella sticks (which were so over cooked there was pretty much no cheese left inside). The waiter then tells us it will be quite a while longer before our food comes out because they are busy. When the food begins to come out, it comes out in increments - the ravioli, then 10 minutes later the personal pizza, then 15 minutes later fries, and the salad about 10 minutes after that. We weren't even able to eat our meals together at the same time. The waiter says he will not charge us for the salad, however, he did. We were in the restaurant almost 2 hours and the food was definitely NOT worth the wait. Needless to say we will not be returning!! read more
