We love Carbone's! The first thing I tried here was the turkey sub and fries. My Matt and I split the whole sized sub and fries and the quality of the turkey really stood out to me. The price was very reasonable at $9.95 for a whole. Fries are $5.95, they aren't fresh cut or anything and it's not a huge portion, but they are delicious. Since then we've tried several things. Their salads are generous and fresh. They have a great price on their personal sized pizzas with each topping only costing .99 cents. And we love their breadsticks, Adding a little salt on top is necessary though, no problem! The only issue is with asking for certain modifications like "well done" or "light sauce". I know they're always busy...so the results are inconsistent. That being said, it's easy to still love their food and service. They are our go-to for pizzas and subs...and definitely those breadsticks! Thank you Carbone's! read more

Had a pie delivered to our Airbnb. It was late night but came reasonably fast and it was super hot, fresh and delicious. Try the pickle pizza as a fun little starter. Crust on my custom pie was perfectly in between thin and hand tossed. Would love to have another pizza there. Delivery person was communicative and friendly. read more

We love Carbone's pizza, it is our go to when we have a craving. However, I always order online and the last 2 orders I asked for the pizza to be cut in squares, and both times they came cut in triangles. The pizza is still delicious, I just wish I got squares. Why ask, if you're not going to follow through with the request. read more

The "owner" Fat Nick assumed I was a door dasher when I was just a normal patron trying to feed an entire birthday party. I called with ample time for my order to be complete and was given a time to pick up my order which wasn't even close to being ready. This is the second time this location has tried to blame me for the lack of service. Holding yourself and staff accountable is not in their skill set here. read more

I usually order from a select few pizza places and I decided on a suggestion to try Carbone's. As I perused the online menu, there's an option to order online. IMO, so many businesses should follow suit. I was able to select every option to customize my pizza and wings. You get an approximate time as to when your order will be ready-I like this. Once I arrived, my pie was being taken out of the oven . I was informed my the cashier, Sky that we were only waiting for y wings to be sauced. It was at this moment that I realized that I order the wrong sauce. They were kind enough to make the correction and seemed more than happy to change them even though it was my error. I liked the way they engaged with their customers...some seemed like regulars. This shows me that they value their people. The true test, THE TASTE! Once I arrived home, I had a hungry bunch waiting to dig in. The crust was perfectly baked and the sauce, to cheese to pepperoni ratio was spot on. The wings were crispy, not too hard and sauced in every crevice. There weren't too many leftovers but the reheat factor wowed me. I'll definitely be back. read more

I did take out from this business while in Buffalo, NY. The service was good even though they were busy for a weekday evening. The pizza and wings in Buffalo are so very good. Love how they do pepperoni in this area. Usually the wings are either crispy and light sauce or very saucy. I love how this place gives you options on how you want your pizza cooked(normal or well done) and what type of sauce you want and how you want it cut(slice or in squares). Also, how crispy and saucy you want your wings. I loved the fact that you get to custom select your items to that level. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you're staying downtown. read more

Really enjoyed this cozy local joint. Nice people and terrific pizza. My slices were ready quickly. I tried both the normal peperoni and the sweet peperoni. Both were dynamite with really good crust, too. Will come back here for sure next time I'm in town. The ambiance is pretty typical of an old school urban pizza joint but a bit of sprucing up wouldn't hurt. read more

REVIEW # 32 CARBONE'S SOUTH PARK AVE. BUFFALO, NY SCORE 9.0 "Quality is our specialty" I may be a bit bias on this review. I used to live minutes from this place so I was here constantly. After a day of hiking at Tifft Nature Preserve, we decided to get some Carbone's. Haven't been here in a while now but it's still as good as ever. Pizza comes with a generous amount of cheese, sauce, and seasoning..cooked to perfection. Definitely get some bread sticks on the side, they have the best in the city. Staff is amazing and there's a huge dining room for you to eat. Make sure to check this place out if you're ever near Downtown Buffalo. Comment where I should review next! read more

So we ordered a sheet pizza , a large pizza and 50 wings through their website for delivery. Never got our wings and was told by a manager take it up with the delivery service they use and basically oh well. Completely ridiculous on the amount of money we just spent for shitty pizza and no wings . They said the delivery service they use stole them so call them . On top of that it's pouring and the food was left on the ground . Never even got notified. Never again.Update the owner reached out and stated that he will look into the situation and contact the company to initiate a refund. read more

Horrible. Meat sub looked nothing like picture on menu (hardly any meat) cold and the delivery package was disgusting.

My pizza was so hot & fresh & really good as well! I love their food from here, the service was also amazing, they were very nice && handled my order with care! read more

Service was quick to have a few slices. Pizza was great and the inside was clean and kid friendly. The pizza is buffalo classic pizza !

This review is not a reflection of the food, but the chronic stupidity of the kitchen staff. I have ordered multiple times and requested NY Style, thin crust, and either the cook can't read, or they do not know how to create a thin crust pizza. Why do they offer flats only, or extra crispy, as options IF they are going to ignore those instructions???? Ordering through GrubHub or Uber Eats, etc. means you can't get your refund back or new food, because you are most likely outside their delivery range and it is impossible to speak to the owner, who only comes in and out to collect money. The day to day is governed by apathetic managers, who could care less. It is time to STOP patronizing Carbones! read more

Really good wings. Very tasty and cooked very well. My family used to order from them a lot when I was a kid. Fun fact. My little league baseball team played against theirs when I was a kid. We won because they were caught cheating. LOL! Stick to pizza, wings, and subs. read more

WOAH, this place tastes really good.. but the people, or "person" they have working at the front register should be removed. She was rude to my partner, who went in to ask about an order we placed over an hour ago. After asking, she rolled her eyes and had zero interest in helping locate the order. When I walked in to talk to her, shortly after my partner left, she was being rude to another customer, throwing their receipt paper behind her back. I asked why she was acting this way towards my partner and she started yelling at me. I left soon after she called me a b*tch. This is someone who shouldn't be representing this establishment. Next. read more

This place is getting a remodel, hopefully they keep the grease off the dining room floor/tables,other than that the food is great.

They messed up the order. The subs were saturated, bread was soggy. We called to complain and they were dismissive. Never again. read more

Carbones is easily in my top 8 for best Pizza in WNY. They never hold back on their toppings! Just the right amount of not -too-sweet sauce and a thick topping of cheeeeeeessseeee. So yum! Their wings are about average. Actually the last time we got them, they were a little on the smaller side but that doesn't seem to be the norm. Try out their cajun dry rub, it'll clear your nostrils! Their subs are great too! Honestly I don't think I've ever had something I haven't enjoyed here. Their service is pretty good too compared to other local pizza places. The ladies behind the counter actually want to make sure you are satisfied with your meal. Prices are affordable too! read more

Honey hot wings are bomb. Pizza is very good, comparable to other top Buffalo style places

Very good food and great service. A very special community restaurant with a great local vibe. Loved the wings and Buffalo-style pizza was very good ( thick with good flavors). 4.75 stars Bathrooms and sit down area need attention and is need of cleaning and repair. 3 stars read more

My wife and I wanted to try some true Buffalo Pizza so we narrowed down the selection. And chose Carbone's. It's an old school neighbourhood pizza shop. They do the cupped peppperoni. So we got some wings and a large pizza. It's a greasier pizza than you get in Toronto, but I think it's the cheese (which is much better imo). Probably full fat cheese. And the amount of prepperoni is also contributing to the grease content. We told the staff we had come to try the good stuff. They were very friendly and helpful. And asked if we wanted Regular sauce or sweet sauce? We didn't know and I said how about just the regular. The wings were huge, hot and crunchy. On the well done side. My fav! I've been known to polish off a large pizza fairly frequently, but not this fat bastard. A few wings and 2 slices and I was plugged! On the way out the front counter called to us. "Here's a couple of sweet slices for you to try so you know what you want next time" with a wink of the eye. We loved it all. No 5 stars only because what if I found better, then what do I give them? If you like old school and you like flavour. You're gonna love Carbone's! read more

Pickle Pizza is the best! Their smiles and friendly attitude make me feel at home. Always accommodating when I'm running late for work.

I heard a lot of good things, so had to try. Wings juicy and sauced up the way I like! Only pizza joint with their own app. I'm not a fan of cash hungry apps I will not name. Carbone's utilize their own app to cut down on other apps fees. Thanks read more

Service or lack of. Is absolute dog water. Food has gone way down hill. Seems like nobody there is aware they are at work. Turn of the lights and lock it up. Wish I could give a -1 star. read more

Ordered the family pizza special for $59. This includes Large pizza one topping, and 50 wings. The days of the $.25 cent chicken wing are long gone. Matter of fact, how many of you are old enough to remember when they were $.10 cent? Well nowadays, with wings being $1 a piece now. The family special is so much worth the price. The honey mustard wings (25) were amazing, actually finger licking good. The medium wings (25) were just as good. I love the fact that the wings were crispy. As for the pizza, I love the chewiness of the dough. I always enjoyed doughy pizza with a nice crisp crust. I think this will be my new place for pizza. read more

My family is in town from Lexington Kentucky and they wanted Buffalo favorites, pizza and wings. Ordered to go so I really can't comment on the ambiance but the service was excellent. Very friendly and very helpful. The pizza was delicious, cup and char as we all say here. We had four different types/flavors of wings they were all very, very good! We would, without a doubt, order from here again and I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to others. read more

If you never rode Ginuwine's Pony And never ate grease-pool Pepperoni Then your life must be sh*t But don't worry bout it Just come get a slice at Carbone! Much better than Planebone's, Trainbone's, or Busbone's which is the worst. Buffalo has some of the best pizza in the world and the pizza right here at Carbone's is some of the very best you will ever put in your mouth. When the pie comes fresh out of the oven and it's hot and gooey and burning your mouth there is really no comparison. This is the highest praise I can give Buffalo Pizza: It's as good as some of the ones down in South Buffalo. Like Imperial, Bella, Franco's, but with thinner crust and maybe a little more gooey sloppy sauce (which isn't a bad thing). You must try a hot fresh slice from Carbone's. Right up there with the best in the city and we're talking about a city that makes some of the best pizza in the world. If you're near Larkin Square or Downtown or Canalside, you simply won't find a better slice within a couple of miles of you. Dirt cheap, filling, boiling hot (it'll burn your mouth), and nothing short of sensational. So if you feel tired or lonely And most pizza slices taste phoney I won't tell you twice Just come get a slice From a perfect pie made by Carbone! Here's my original review: What is now known as the CaRBone family was famous in Chicago back in the 30s. They were mobsters. The head of the family, Al, faked his own death and snuck away to Buffalo and opened this place. He inconspicuously changed the "p" in his name to "rb" and gave everyone the impression that the food he served was full of carbs. It is. What to get: Slices, Garlic Breadsticks. I used to go to the location in Lovejoy regularly, I haven't been in ages. I remember it being one of the best in Buffalo. Slices were insanely good so I gave it a 5. However when I went recently the quality had slipped slightly though it was still good. However the quality at this location on South Park is off the charts excellent. I finally tried this location and while it wasn't my fave pizza in town, it was very very very good, and easily in the top 20... possibly even the top 10 slices in town, which is a very hard list to get onto. The slices are juicy, wet, and enormously huge (you know, huge, like my thingy or something), and what's more, the girl (who wasn't very friendly, but was cute), gave me a slice, but couldn't detach it from another slice so since they were about to close, she gave me both of them for the very low price of 1 (it's right around $2 and it's enormous). Since that occasion, the service rating has gone through the roof. In fact this is probably the friendliest service I've had at any pizza place. The girl with red hair (not the one that served me the first time) is so insanely friendly, always gives me extra stuff because it's near closing, and totally rocks my pizza world. I buy one slice, she gives me two or three. Free breadsticks. Loves my cat Starlight. She's just fantastic. I've become a regular because of her and her great service, but also because of the excellent, typical Buffalo slices and the really good crust they're on. Slices are usually piping hot too, like burn-your-mouth hot without even being heated, which was very impressive. And a relief too because that's how I like them, but I wasn't going to ask her to She's already too nice to me for me to ask for extra stuff... lol. Definitely stop in and try a slice here and see how it compares to your fave places. They're open late, maybe 10 or even 11 or 12... not sure but yes, really awesome place. Buffalo actually has the best Pizza in the world - it's not quite like New York's, and not quite like Chicago's, it's an entity unto itself and it's the best I've ever had. Other than Carbone's, the best are Imperial (South Buff), Francos (Northtowns), Mattina's (North East), Bella (South), and some of the ones in Niagara Fallas like Pizza Oven and Mr. Ventry's. Watch out for Al CaRBone though. read more

I ordered a small (13", six slice) Buffalo Chicken Finger Pizza [medium-sauce on the chicken fingers and blue cheese base sauce] and had to update my review and say how much I loved it! This was a pretty much perfect chicken finger pizza, in my opinion. A Buffalo-style dough that was cooked perfectly, gold and brown with the right amount of chew and it didn't feel "limp" like some places in Buffalo do. The crust was the right balance of chewiness and crunch. This pie was absolutely LOADED with chicken finger pieces, all cooked properly, and with that nice medium-sauce heat and flavor. The blue cheese base was distributed perfectly and I could taste it with each bite I took. The mozzarella cheese on top blanketed everything nicely - upon glancing at the pie, you'd think there was little to no chicken fingers but you'd be soo wrong - and tasted wonderful! :) The small size was perfect for my appetite, but note that with every chicken finger pizza I've ever had, it can be a little salty so be sure to have a cold beer, errr a refreshing beverage, nearby by to wash it down and keep yourself hydrated. Carbone's Pizza and Subs in South Buffalo is a fantastic pizza shop. Their toppings and quality has been phenomenal each time I've gone and their prices are incredibly reasonable. They've become my new "go-to" pizza shop for when I'm craving a Buffalo Chicken Finger Pizza, so I can't wait to come back again! read more

Ordered a pizza at 3:30, was told it was ready at 4:15. It wasn't done until after 5:00. Then was told they forgot the wings. Had to wait again. We bring the pizza home and the pizza is underdone. Go back and return the pizza for a replacement. The pizza is still underdone. The crust is so thin it couldn't support the toppings. Absolutely awful. read more

Alright. I'm reviewing AGAIN. From a 4 to a 5. Order one of the speciality/gourmet pizzas. It's well worth it. And that's what you want now-in-days. Especially for the cost. We ordered the Blazing BBQ pizza (I believe) four slices later and I knowwwww I'll be ordering again. It was really really good. I love everything: not greasy, holds up, the spice, the cheese, def the crust, the CHICKEN (wtf this was LARGE chunks). I brought this up to a friend tonight over drinks.. I'll be sending more people! read more

Someone ordered from here, and the Lovejoy location would do NOTHING to fix the order. It was a chicken finger dinner with small, cold, rock hard pieces of Chicken Fingers. When they called to see if it could be fixed they explained that "that is how we make them." Well, this is how we respond. Hopefully more people are willing to speak up on sub standard service. You provided food to someone for $$$. That food was subpar. You do not deserve to run a business this way nor take advantage of customers read more
