Sometimes a restaurant deserves a second chance, and John Fazio Farms Barbecue & Brick Oven Pizza…read moreproved to be one of those places. We first tried to stop in one evening at 8:21 PM, only to be told the kitchen was already closed even though the restaurant didn't close until 9. Not exactly the welcome we were hoping for, but no big deal. We found somewhere else to eat and moved on. On our way home, we decided to give it another try, and I'm glad we did. We split the brisket sandwich, which was piled high with incredibly moist, tender and flavorful brisket on what appeared to be fresh ciabatta. No barbecue sauce, no coleslaw, no distractions. Just straight up brisket flavor, which gets two thumbs up from me. The sandwich came with two sides, so we chose the baked beans and pasta salad. Both were absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the brisket. We washed it all down with an ice cold bottle of A&W Root Beer, the perfect summer pairing for a barbecue meal. The restaurant sits just off a relatively busy road, but the outdoor seating is tucked beside a beautiful pond. That gave me the opportunity to do a little birdwatching while enjoying lunch, which is always a bonus in my book. Best of all, the entire meal was about $20 for two people. The chef may not be the friendliest person, but fortunately he can cook, and I'm perfectly happy letting the food do the talking. I'd definitely go back and try some of their other dishes. Sometimes giving a place a second chance pays off.

The Beast rolled into John Fazio's expecting solid pizza... and honestly? This place came…read moredangerously close to greatness. The crust was legit -- crispy outside, soft inside, with that perfect foldability every NY slice should have. Cheese ratio was on point, toppings were fresh, and the overall pie had that old-school roadside pizza joint feel the Beast respects. But the sauce... that's the culprit holding this pie back from elite status. Not terrible by any means, just missing that punch. Needed a little more depth, a little more seasoning, maybe a touch more sweetness or bite to balance everything out. You can taste how close this pizza is to being a heavyweight contender. Atmosphere was solid, staff was friendly, and the food overall hit way above average. !! one sauce adjustment away from entering Beast certified territory !!

The penne regatta is in a delicate sauce that enhances both the chicken and the properly prepared pasta. It's easily enough to satisfy two. The owner makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. The dining room and lavatory are clean. I will be back with friends.

It wasn't bad, just kind of flat and lacking that garlic/herb punch you expect from a standout slice. Topping options (especially for slices) felt limited. If you're walking in hoping for variety or something creative, it's pretty basic. The crust was cooked properly, no complaints there it held up well and wasn't underdone--but it was missing a little texture. Could've used a bit more crisp or bite to elevate it.

Grabbed a Grandma slice from Pasqualle's and a White slice with basil & balsamic drizzle from Rino's, plus some garlic knots because, well, Beast's gotta eat and I was hungry. Pasqualle's: Classic feel, decent crust, but sauce was a bit flat. Solid traditional slice, nothing wild. Rino's: Crust was the star -- nice crust crunch, well-made. Sauce was loose, slightly chunky, and garlicky. White slice had great balance with the balsamic drizzle. Garlic knots from Rino's: Super garlicky in the best way. Both places were clean and roomy, prices were fair. Service was very good. Verdict: Pasqualle's is traditional and safe. Rino's brings more flavor and flair -- and wins this round.

They also have a spacious dining area that, while barebones, is still comfortable if you don't want to take it out. For the kids, we got a couple plain slices and some chicken fingers (for the bipolar three year old who sometimes hates pizza). The chicken fingers weren't anything revolutionary, but they fried them well, just like they did the buffalo wings that my wife was craving. Those were super saucy, but nice and crisp. Reminiscent of Western New York, and that's a compliment. We were also feeling like we needed some greens in our life, so we added a chicken caesar salad. It was better than expected, and hit the spot. Overall, I think pizza is the best choice here (it's in the name after all), but they have some variety if you need more as well. All in all, a very solid place.
