    I have been on a chicken finger run lately, and this place hits the spot. I get them plain with hot sauce on the side. They come with fries, which are also delicious. You can also upgrade to curly fries. Recently, I had a friend over and I ordered a pizza and single order of fingers and they were both delicious. My friend even asked where I had ordered the food from because she liked it very much. The owner and employees are very nice, friendly and accommodating.

    5/5!!!!!!!!! Gandy's is the best place for a fish fry, in all of Buffalo. Do not waste anymore time and pick up the phone to place your order now.

    This is just single mushrooms!! Usually to get this many mushrooms you'd have to say "double" or "extra" at other places! Amazing!!!

    I cannot say enough about Gandys. Every item that I have gotten off the menu is perfection. The owner is friendly and cares about customers. Once they had accidentally mixed up my topping, he was so very apologetic and honestly it was unnecessary but completely heartfelt and so appreciated. You don't see that much in business and if I wasn't already a customer for life that would have sealed the deal. I cannot recommend enough their pizza especially with mushrooms is today for. Their chicken wings are large and the meet is plump, white, and so very tender. I'm not sure how they do it - either they get in top-quality wings or they brine them or something. I'm assuming it's just their focus on buying quality ingredients! Their chard barbecue wings are extra special and they make their own barbecue sauce and triple dip before putting them on the grill. It is not overly sweet like some of the processed ones and other pizzerias- it is phenomenal. The fish fry is one of the best in Buffalo and I grew up on ginmill authentic fish fries! They wrap it in such a way that it stays crispy... the salads on the side are all house-made - potato, macaroni, coleslaw- all delish! The chicken puffs are unique to them and out of this world - they are beer battered chicken tenders. Get those with the potato wedges and you cannot go wrong. Their turkey sub is cut into a "turkey club style" with the roll cut in thirds to make three layers - delicious and it seems that they roast their own turkey because that was not deli meat! A personal tip from me because they are abundant with their ingredients I order light cheese on my pizza because they put on more than I've ever seen from another pizzeria, again I think this is because they enter please enter customer and quality oriented. There is always a few people waiting and socially distancing for their food, they have a great system - everyone goes in one at a time and pays, you can go back to your car and wait for them to bring your food out or you can feel free to wait outside if you like. RUN to Gandy's.. you'll never be disappointed! Support one of the best local businesses in town. PS- if you think I'm hamming up this review, rest assured that it is only from my LOVE of their good. I have no investment in this business, nor do I know the owners or staff . But I'd be happy to call them friends- as they treat everyone with the same heart they must give their friends & fam. Bravo Gandy's! Continue to show 'em how it's done.

    Gandalf from Lord Of The Rings kept his Handys up his sleevies and he didn't Bandy about feeling Randy, although if he did, that would be just fine and Dandy... much like the Barry Manilow song Mandy, or the British electronics store Tandy, his organizations seemed to be very disbandy, as in they fail at plan A, B and C, and end up also failing at Plan-D, with Gandalf ending up sleeping on a beach (at least it's Sandy), and then finally having the idea to open up a pizza shop named Gandys. I really wanted to love Gandy's and they came highly recommended... but I have to be honest and say that I didn't love them that much at all. The service was nice and the people are good people... their most popular dish seems to be the Chicken X which are basically fried pieces of chicken, and actually sound really delicious. You would hope and expect them to be delicious for the price (I think the smallest order is $10), but the truth is that they are pretty basic and standard fried chicken tenders that are breaded in the same sort of batter that you would expect for a Fish Fry, but not a very good one... a sort of bland, tasteless one. Very unfortunate to say this. After 5 or 6 unsuccessful attempts, I was finally able to try a pizza slice here recently. Thank goodness. The slice was average. I liked the crust even though it looked a bit generic, it tasted good. The sauce was okay, a little bland. The cheese was fine. The pepperonis were nice. In a city full of wonderful pizza I found this one to just be okay. However my travelling companion said it was delicious, and she loved every bite. However I didn't taste anything that would cause me to raise Gandalf up from 4 to 5, or indeed to lower it to 3. Honestly it is more like a 3 star place to me, but with nice service, honest people and a family-owned place, it's always going to get that extra star from me. I do think they have excellent service, and I think that people who are fans of fried stuff in general, and bland American style fish fries, might really like them. They're worth a try, they're definitely different and original, in the sense that I haven't seen them on the menu at any other pizza places recently. Or ever. At all. Like, ever. Whoa. So anyway, head on over here and take a gandy at them moccasins. There's an Amish girl on TV telling a kid who looks like the guy from Malcolm in the Middle that she has never been to a party before. Interesting. Verrrrry interesting. Hmm.

We were in town attending a large national conference for families affected by their condition, and many conference attendees were also staying at the hotel. When we arrived, the restaurant appeared to be about 80% empty. Our children mentioned to the waitress that they were hungry and tired, and the first response we received was, "Do you have a reservation?" She explained that they couldn't seat us because they were expecting a large party. Instead of being seated at a regular table, we were directed to the bar area, where the bartender kindly took care of us despite the fact that our group included two minors. We stayed for over an hour, and during that time, the large party never arrived. Meanwhile, we watched other guests without reservations get seated at tables without any apparent issue. The experience left us feeling singled out and, ultimately, discriminated against. Whether that was the intention or not, it reflected a disappointing lack of empathy and inclusion--especially considering that so many families with children with disabilities were staying at the hotel for the conference. I'm giving Bella Ciao three stars because the food was decent, the portions were generous, and the bartender provided good service. Unfortunately, the way we were treated upon arrival overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

I tried the components like the sauce and meat on its own and I think there the dish was imbalanced and oversalted because of the combined layers of salt in the dishes' components. We had a show to get to so didn't have time to send it back, but the meal was quite disappointing, especially considering the price. I did enjoy the homemade chili flakes which had fruity peppery flavours and a nice kick. Service is friendly and attentive. Parking can be difficult to find.
