    The Big Time Spark
    Bruce R.

    Wood pizza was very good. Cooked perfectly. Very nice size pie. Toppings were very good. Service was good. Clean, comfortable, quiet atmosphere. On street parking only on Abbott and a side street. Didn't order them this visit but the wings smelled great at the table near by....

    Arancini was under seasoned inside and crispy/chewy on the outside. Weird!

    Service was great, restaurant was packed but the food wasn't really spectacular or anything I couldn't find at any other American or Italian restaurant in Buffalo. Again, it was packed so we'll chalk it up to just not my style. The biggest feedback I have is that everything was generally under seasoned.

    I came here yesterday for lunch. Indoor dining is allowed again in Erie County and I wanted to catch up with a friend. I had a Michelob Ultra. They have many kinds of beer on tap and many kinds of wine. Unfortunately, they don't serve mixed drinks. I'm not sure if that's a new thing or if that's how they've always been. We came after their brunch time so we couldn't order brunch. We came before dinner time so we were told, except for the steak sandwich, that we couldn't order from the entree menu. That left us with soup and salads, appetizers, and brick oven pizzas. My friend and I split stuffed banana peppers and a Reuben pizza. The stuffed banana peppers were great. It came with more than enough mozzarella sauce to dip it in. There were only two peppers and two small garlic toast points. The Reuben pizza was fantastic. This review is five stars for the pizza alone. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It had a thin crispy crust with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on it. Order it!!! You'll love it!!! The service was okay. I came here about two months ago, the night before the last restaurant shutdown period. I treated two friends who helped me move. My one friend ordered the Reuben pizza. He loved it. My other friend ordered the chicken parmesan. She loved it. I had a dark beer, french onion soup and barbecue meatballs. Their barbecue meatballs were fantastic. They had a lot of flavoring and were so delicious. Their French onion soup is the best I've ever had. I was so glad that I ordered it. We had really great service. It was a young(er) server. She was enthusiastic, kind and efficient. I came here either last summer or the prior summer with a friend. We sat on the patio and had drinks and shared food. I can't recall what we had. The service was great though. I came here during lunch about 2/3 years ago. I met up with some former coworkers. There were 10 of us. They had us in a small side room for our bookclub meeting. I had a Guinness, the French onion soup and a Reuben sandwich. The soup was fantastic and the sandwich was great. I can't recall if the sandwich came with fries or chips but I really enjoyed it. We had a great server too. If you're in the mood for great takeout or a nice sit down experience, come check out this South Buffalo staple. You definitely won't regret it!!!

    The restaurant has a number of more regular pizzas on the menu, but also a couple with their own twist. I decided to give it a try and ordered the reuben pizza. What a surprise that was. A nice and crunchy crust topped with plenty of corned beef and sauerkraut. On top thousand island dressing. A really great pizza! The service at the restaurant was okay. Waitress was attentive and friendly.

    I came here with the family for lunch, and it was perfect. Delicious pizzas, sandwiches, soups, and beer! We started with French onion soups, it wasn't show-stoppingly amazing, but it was good! We also got the chicken wing soup which was amazing. It wasn't too spicy, the chicken wasn't tough, it was absolutely perfect. The beer list they have is very impressive, some of the more niche/hard to find stuff is there which was a pleasant surprise! We decided to split a couple pizzas and the steak sandwich. The sandwich was a bit spicy with the peppers, but I love spice so I wasn't concerned. The PIZZA though! We got the bistro white, mushroom, and margherita pizzas. The white was my personal favorite. It had the crunchy arugula, crispy and salty prosciutto, and the crust was perfect. The mushroom tasted more like French onion pizza with some mushrooms on it, but the goat cheese went so well with it I found myself loving that one too. The margherita pizza wasn't amazing... I thought the sauce tasted more like tomato soup than pizza sauce but it was still okay. All in all, the service was fast, attentive, and friendly and the food was pretty amazing.

    Ordered curbside pickup during the Covid 19 crisis on a Saturday evening, order took about a half hour to prepare, we were instructed to park in their side parking lot and wait for them to bring the food out. I ordered a Beef Sort Rib dinner over wide pasta with peas and a Margarita pizza, both were excellent. The order took a few minutes longer than expected as they had a steady flow of vehicles picking up orders. Happy they are open for orders, one of our favorites. Will certainly return.

    My friends in South Buffalo recommended Brick Oven Bistro as their favorite casual lunch location without hesitation! I enjoyed every single bite of my meal. My family and I split three pizzas: Margherita Pizza with prosciutto, Reuben Pizza (Sauerkraut, corned beef, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island Dressing), and The Mushroom Pizza with white sauce and goat cheese. Each pizza was delicious in its own way, but my favorite was the Reuben Pizza. I had never had Thousand Island Dressing on pizza and I really liked it! The corned beef was also perfectly flavored. In addition to the delicious toppings, all of the pizza crusts were cooked perfectly in the brick ovens. The buttery crust was thin and crispy, but not burnt. I will absolutely be returning to Brick Oven Bistro the next time I am in South Buffalo. It's a great place to go with your family or with a group of friends for food and craft beer! If you're not in the mood for tasty pizza, they also have sandwiches, pasta, Italian dishes and stir fry.

    Well based on other reviews, get ready for unpopular opinions and controversial reviews lolol. Take out review only here. Based on pics and reviews, it's one of those places that looks good, sounds good, probably is good.. but, for what we paid (avg. $14 for a 10" pizza) it was very underwhelming. I've had plenty of brick oven style pizza in my day. We had the pepperoni and margarita pizzas and they look great to the eye, but the crust was not that desirable buttery crispy type, kind of dry, undercooked, and cardboard-ish.. and on a personal note, red sauce had sizable onions through out.. hard no go for me, not into sauce with chunks of tomato or onions in it, keep it smooth please. Again, probably going for their own thing here, with plenty of people liking that sort of thing. Don't get freaked out here, this is prob a one-off review.

    I'm always on the lookout, keeping my ear to the ground, for great pizza places in Buffalo…read more Although sometimes, I just want to try some place new. I had heard good things about Naked City Pizza, so I decided to take a break from my usual spots and give them a try and overall, I am very pleased! I called around 4:45pm on a Saturday and a gentleman took my order. He was courteous and friendly and said my order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. I arrived about 30 minutes later, easily finding a parking spot in their large parking lot, which is a mixture of pavement and dirt/gravel. Walking inside the shop, it's similar to most Buffalo pizza shops where it's relatively small and really about take-out, not for dining in. There were a few young guys working the counter and ovens, they were able to get me in and out quickly. From the limited time I was inside, the workers were friendly enough, they seemed to get along well. For dinner, I ordered a Quarter Sheet (6 slices) Steak and Three Cheese pizza but the gentleman who took my order over the phone put my order in as a Half Sheet (12 slices). They realized the mistake too late and gave me the Half Sheet for the Quarter Sheet price! I really do appreciate that, it's great customer service. I have half a pizza leftover for a quick dinner now! Naked City Pizza nails the traditional Buffalo-style with a doughier undercarriage and nice crispy, chewy crust. The dough was airy but it didn't seem as "heavy" as many other pizza places around Buffalo, but maybe I was just REALLY hungry. haha For their steak pizza, it seems like they use thicker pieces of steak, which was great, definitely felt more substantial. Most steak pizzas come topped with banana, hot, or sweet (bell/green) peppers, but Naked City uses roasted red peppers, which are sweet and have a more distinct flavor and softer texture - I was impressed, this paired VERY well with the other components! Along with them, there's also onions on top. The three cheeses used are cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, which of course are delicious. In addition to the roasted sweet peppers, the other component that I was surprised by was the white garlic sauce as the base. Steak pizzas around Buffalo vary from using a "hoagie oil/sauce" to just a huge variety of cheeses, no base sauce of any kind. I tend to stay away from white sauce on pizza as it's usually associated with garlic (I don't want my breath to be too... fragrant haha), but this wasn't too garlic-y, I didn't feel like I was "wearing it". I enjoyed the added creaminess the white sauce added to this pie. After six slices, I stopped myself and put the other half in the freezer. The six slices I had were delicious and filled me up nicely - The squares were cut nicely and they were plenty filling with tons of meat and cheese. I have a feeling these will reheat in the oven nicely. Looking at the prices, I was impressed too with how affordable Naked City Pizza is! All-in-all, I'm glad I gave Naked City Pizza a chance and had a great experience! The staff are friendly enough and quick, it's easy to get in and out quickly, and the pizza is traditional Buffalo-style so it's on the heartier end while being affordable. I look forward to ordering and trying a red sauce pizza from Naked City Pizza to see how sweet their sauce is.

    Pizza is so delicious. Great Italian style. Customer service is also very good!…read moreWill 100% be coming back.

    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'm a member of their rewards program and once in a while, they'll send me a coupon for $5 off, or a certain percentage off of my next order. So, when I get one of these rewards, I make sure to take advantage and order a pie! Shoutout to the staff as they're always friendly and courteous. I need to praise how open and honest they are, which was put on full display with a recent order. One Pie Pizza Co. bakes a truly authentic Buffalo-style pizza with an airy, doughy undercarriage, a balanced chewy, crispy crusty, plenty of mozzarella cheese and sweet red sauce with cup-n-char pepperoni, but I like my dough, the undercarriage, to be a bit more cooked, firm, crispy, so I've been requesting "extra crispy on the bottom/underneath" more recently. But the way One Pie Pizza Co. cooks their pizzas makes that request a little more difficult as they use a conveyor belt process, so when ordering online there are two "Special Instructions" options: LIGHT WELL DONE and WELL DONE (Dark, crispy crust with charred edges). I've been trying to figure out which of these options would offer the more firm, crispier dough I want, so I ended up talking to some of the staff working there and explained my conundrum. They were wonderful in hearing me out and suggesting how I should place my order to get what I am looking for. So, what's the way to get the dough more firm, crispy underneath? Order your pizza LIGHT WELL DONE and ask if they could put your pizza on top of the oven for 10 minutes before they put it into the oven to cook it! The dough might raise up a bit more, but it should help pre-heat, cook the dough a little bit more. Of course, nothing wrong with adding a note asking for extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. I've ordered a few times in 2026 and each time my order has been a QTR Sheet (six slice) cheese, pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers, and ricotta cheese pizza, LIGHT WELL DONE cook/extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. This is an excellent pizza, with tons of toppings on each slice and plenty of ricotta cheese ladled on top. Drizzle a little hot honey to add a little sweet kick. This pizza never fails to leave me happy and full. I will say, their pizza might be on the pricier end in Buffalo, but it's worth it. One Pie Pizza Co. certainly earned, and deserves its high marks and regards within the Buffalo pizza community! I'm glad to keep them in my list of go-to Buffalo pizza shops.
