    Attention Yelpers ! $10 wood fired pizzas on Wednesdays ... this is what brought me here last week ! I chose the Candyman Pizza - think pepperoni and cheese with hot honey . Enough for 2 meals . Tasty . I also sampled a piece of my friend's Quattro formaggi pizza - delicious as well . Also , wings and the chicken slider (much larger than a slider ) got rave reviews . Service was friendly and they did separate checks for our 6 top . They collaborate with Caputi's Pub next door - look out for their special deals as well . I'll be back to order some wings !

    We ordered over the phone for pickup and seemed like it was organized but when we went to pick it up 30 min later, the order was never transferred from the bar to the connected pizza store. They slapsticked it together and just felt rushed and undercooked. Not impressed after such good reviews.

    Came here for a special whiskey pairing dinner and had a great experience! The food was great. The pizza is brick oven style, and I really enjoyed both pizzas I tried (their cheese and pepperoni, and another with bacon, blue cheese(?), and walnuts). I also really enjoyed their salad and some fried appetizers they served. Drink selection was creative too. I ordered a loganberry cocktail which was delicious. They also have a bunch of beers to choose from as well. Service was fantastic too. Everyone was very friendly, drinks were made quickly, and food came out hot and often too. Cool atmosphere. Great place to hangout with a few friends, or enjoy a sit down pizza dinner.

    Decided to give the pizza a try, it was decent, but didn't really hit the spot for me. I'd give a 3.5 if we could. The sauce was a little sweet for me, and it seemed like the flour used for the dough was maybe a mix that had some brown flour included? Just wasn't overall my taste. It was well cooked, and I like how much basil was on it as I feel some places skimp. As for the ambience, typical local WNY bar feel. People were really congregating near the entrance for some reason with their drinks, which was odd. I did take out as my normal place was closed at it was later in the evening, so can't comment too much on the service, but the pie was ready fast after I ordered and the person who was at the counter was pleasant. Overall I likely wouldn't return as as the flavor overall just wasn't my taste, but I can see why some people like it so much.

    I was looking for a pizza place in the area and found this place during a Google search. It was a weekday night around 8pm and there was only one other table there. We ordered our food, the menu isn't as inventive as I would have hoped, but we settled on two pizzas. What makes this place unique is the wall decor. Every wall has something different and are good conversation starters, but you can only talk for so long before you start to wonder " where is my food?" Perhaps, because this restaurant shares a space with a bar next door they supply the food for them, which is why our 2 small personal pan pizzas took nearly 90 minutes to arrive! Aside from the wait, the pizza was just okay. The bottom was burnt black on both of them we ate what we could. The dough was dull and the sauce was bland and really left nothing to the imagination. All and all I would come back perhaps for the trivia Night which they do have weekly or maybe if I just wanted beer and bar food. I hope the menu and the service improves! The concept is unique, but poor execution

    I was looking forward to their very tasty pizza, with a crisp crust and flavorful cup and Char pepperoni, but we noticed that the table next to us got two pizzas that they said they didn't order it was given to them by a different server than ours. So it took an extremely long time to get our pizza. Our server made up for it. It wasn't her fault. Bourbon bbq wings were also done on the pit and worth the wait.Thank you to our server.

    Naked City Pizza - 3 cheese steak

    Naked City Pizza

    4.6(33 reviews)

    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.

This is an amazing pizza from the crust up. The crust is light, flaky, and so good. It's got a great balance between the crunch and the integrity of it to keep everything together. The sauce is great. The cheese and pepperoni balance each other out and add so much more flavor. The added ricotta and hot honey puts this over the top and gives it that amazing five star review. Mike made this pizza and got it to me so quick. I was so happy with how fast and professional the service was. I tried my best not to finish it while I was driving home. Such a good pizza! I will definitely be making my way over here for more pizza soon.

    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.
