I'm from Orlando, but this is a five out of five. Maybe we don't have a good pizza in Orlando, which I can understand but the pizza is fluffy with a lot of cheese and a lot of sauce. The toppings I felt were very adequate and also plentiful! This is what I dream that Pizza would be for sure! The service was pretty good even though I came an hour before closing which I hate to do, but I'm sorry I was a tourist and I had to try. I tried some wings which were pretty decent, but the Pizza is the star of the show at least for the day. I went back three times for the Pizza since my hotel was close by. The first thing I'll do the next time I come back in town is make sure I hit this place up every day! Well done guys!
Ordered a large pizza and an order of french fries. The bill came to $39.12. I feel that was a little to much to charge. The pizza had a good taste. There was plenty of cheese and the sauce had a good taste to it. It just seems like ordering out is becoming so expensive.
I ordered 10 bbq wings, all flats on the pit, and they were good, however the Westside location is better, I absolutely love bbq wings on the pit and lanivas is my go to place and the service was great also, it took about 30min to cook the wings, and it was well worth it, because I ate most of them on the way home
The chicken parm sub was really disappointing and the chicken parm sub was inedible. As you can see from the image it was burnt and extremely dry.
Some of the best food I've ever had. I'd say to go here but some of the staff are ridiculously rude. This was my second time in there. The girl working the register was very rude. She had to take my order several times before getting it right. She messed up on my order, she forgot my hot sauce I ordered and still charged $5 for hot sauce! She was getting annoyed and mixing my order up with the guy before me. This was approximately 5:30 6/9/2026 If anyone is thinking of going here be ready to leave pissed off. And there's no where to sit except some very uncomfortable bar chairs. I do not recommend this place.
Love me some greasy pizza. I usually get the family pack and eat it for days but this time I went with the mini pack. The mini pack has a large cheese + 1 topping pizza and 20 wings (boneless or bone-in). The family pack has a large cheese + 1 topping pizza and a bucket of wings. I wished there was a pack in between because 20 wings is never enough and 50 is too much. The packs are pricy. You'll be paying 60 dollars for the mini pack and $100 for the family pack. The pizza was cooked to perfection. Usually with La Nova, I like their wings better than their pizza but today and last few times, their pizza has been gettting better while their wings have been getting worse. I went with bbq pit style. It wasn't as crispy or charcoal-ly as I was hoping. Blue cheese is always lit and if you get ranch, you need to get your taste buds checked out. Waiting area is simple. Just a couple of seats by the window. They have enough space for 10 people ish. Service was quick and effortless. They are always working hard and so it was a quick and pleasant exchange. Parking is decent. They are in a mini plaza and have 20 or so spots between them and the other few businesses there. They have a ton of other things on their menu including chicken finger subs, fries, salads, tacos etc. Never had of those. I strictly go for the pizza. So why only 3 stars? I think their pizza is getting better and I was extremely happy with my last order but their wings are starting to get bad. I've been disappointed the last 3 times and so I'm starting to think that maybe my love affair with La Nova might need to end. Or if you want a slice and a couple of wings, or if its your first time to Buffalo and want a place to get chicken and pizza, this might be a the place to go. But if you're like me and been here multiple times and want to best of pizza and wings and feel like the quality is starting to lack here, then you may want to check out another place.
Cool local pizza chain. Wanted to try something 'local', and was told my a local to give it a shot. Service was good. Food was just ok. Cheese pizza was a 6/10. Pepperoni was a 7/10. Cheese breadsticks were a 6/10 (mostly over baked crust).
Ordered their biggest pizza a Big Joe 30" for a big party & it fed everyone! It was actually super delicious & made perfectly. The pizza was even delicious when it was cold. The only issue we ran into was figuring out how to get the pizza inside the car, so make sure you have a big SUV with seats that go down otherwise you'll be stuck. I am super pleased with La Nova!
Great food fast service tasty wings. Great waiting area nice and clean able to sit down and enjoy a slice if needed.
I love that they have hot, fresh slices ready to go. Regularly featured are, broccoli & chicken, steak & Cheese, sausage & pepper, pepperoni with a few different crusts, mushrooms. They are a slight pricey, but the food is stacked and you get what you pay for
Needed something quick and filing for lunch so I drove up the block to LaNova. Parking was easy to find and the pizza slices I wanted were fresh out of the oven. They had a few options available such as original pepperoni, steak, tomato and cheese. I got a great deal on 2 slices and a pop for apx $11. Delish! read more
I was starting to get hangry while shopping on Main St. in Williamsville when I realized I was right next door to LaNova Pizza, perfect timing! Two slices of pizza and a Ginger Ale later, I was completely back in business. They were definitely busy, but the staff kept things moving smoothly and efficiently, getting customers in and out without missing a beat. My slices were warmed up in about three minutes, and I was back on my way. You really can't beat great sauce, perfectly melted cheese, and a delicious pizza crust. Buffalo food never disappoints! read more
Best wings I've ever had. Probably had the pit bbq wings over 100x in my life and it's always been consistent and amazing. I come back to Buffalo every couple years and this is a staple in my local rotation. Blue cheese is just how I remember it as well. 10/10 read more

It was one of those late night moments when the unstoppable craving for pizza really hits hard. I wasn't thinking clearly and my partner was in the "your wish is my command" mode. Unfortunately, the place where I wanted a NY style slice had already closed. La Nova was on our way and was not only open, but also extremely busy. They offer slices which is what we wanted. Our cheese and pepperoni slices were big, covered with a massive amount of cheese and plenty of grease. It scared me a little, but that's what I wanted. Maybe not exactly, but it's still pizza, right? I was wrong. Eating it, I felt like I was biting into a loaf of bread with bacon grease. The sauce was also vividly sweet which didn't help. I was never a fan of La Nova. After last night, I wouldn't go back for more. On the other hand, my partner enjoyed it. He prefers Buffalo style pizza like this. By definition Buffalo style is "a thick, airy undercarriage with little structural integrity that's topped by sweet sauce and enough cheese to guarantee a stringy pull". Let's not forget about Cup-and-Char pepperoni. La Nova must be a hungry crowd pleaser. On Friday and Saturday, it's open until midnight, which is very convenient. read more

I grew up across from the W Ferry location in the 80s and having lived in cities around the world I can say I always compare restaurants to those found in Western NY. IMO, La Nova on W. Ferry still to this day has the number one BBQ wings found anywhere and decent hot wings as well (but I prefer Duffs). Their classic Buffalo style pizza is very good but I prefer "Just Pizza". La Nova subs (particularly their Turkey sub) are also very good but be sure to tell them what condiments you want on it or you may get a dry sub which is not good eats. Their beef soft tacos are also surprisingly good for a pizzeria but only if the meat is hot when you eat it. (Don't let it get cold or let the lettuce get soggy sitting with the hot meat). The Williamsville location is a very sorry excuse for a restaurant bearing the La Nova name, very inconsistent quality, lack of attention to detail. Drive the extra 20m to the W Ferry location on the West Side, it's well worth it. read more
When I lived in Williamsville, I used to frequent La Nova on Saturday nights for a small pie and since I've moved out of the area, I went to new places that were closer and easier to get to. I read a few recent reviews and was worried that their quality had gone done while the prices went up. While yes, their prices did go up, like almost every other pizza shop's prices in the area did, their quality did not go down. It was the Saturday before Easter Sunday 2022 and I was looking for just a couple slices for a later dinner. I was going to go to another pizza place near UB that serves NY-style slices, but they had to close for the weekend due to short staff. The last time I came to La Nova for slices, I was put off, albeit I do like their pizza as I used to order a small pizza on Saturdays from here quite a bit. It was almost 6:45pm and so I decided to give La Nova's slices another chance. I was able to grab a spot right in front of their entrance and walked in and started browsing their slices. Almost immediately, a courteous young woman came up and asked me what I would like to order. I picked out two slices, that she boxed up without heating, per my request, and cashed me out in less than four minutes. There was another woman working next to her and they were both very friendly and nice! For the slices, I got a chicken finger slice on sesame seed crust and a Mr. Food slice on their regular crust. These slices were heavy, dense with toppings but the dough held it all together without a problem! I warmed them up in my oven, at 400 degrees, for about 10 minutes and pulled them out to the perfect temperature! Both slices were phenomenal! I've always thought of La Nova's chicken finger pizza as one of the better ones in Buffalo and that sentiment remains true after that slice. The Mr. Food slice was one that I don't think I've ordered before, because of the fresh garlic (a small pizza with all that fresh garlic would've been a bit rough for my breath... haha), but was pleasantly surprised it wasn't too pungent. I loved the toppings and appreciated the swap out of the sweet peppers for jalapeños. Their crust is more Buffalo-style but still not the doughiest I've had in WNY, and was also cooked perfectly with the right amount of chew to it while keeping the crust crispy but not burnt/charred. Their red sauce is on the sweeter side too, very much in-line with Buffalo, which I enjoy, though I thought the garlic added a slight spice, or extra punch to it, so that was really nice! I paid less than $10 for two good-size, and loaded, slices that filled me up without sending me over. La Nova has a fairly big reputation in Buffalo with many liking them, and just as many not liking them. While I hate to see prices increase, I can't be too upset since pretty much every restaurant around has had to do the same. I've not really had a bad experience with La Nova and this last experience reaffirmed them being on my list of favorite pizza shops around Buffalo! read more

They have such a great unique style. Slightly sweet garlicy sauce, respectable amount of salty cheese, and nice thick spicy chunks of pepperoni that slightly char in the oven! *chef kisses* I hate when places just use pepperoni as a garnish, this place brings the meat! I'm Italian so I want to actually TASTE the pepperoni. They are a Buffalove must for me. read more

La Nova is a well known established pizzera in our area, that can be hit or miss depending on what you order. Im usually a fan of slices, the customer service is always great, even if its pricey, theres always a decent selection from speciality broccoli & chicken, and pepperoni and cheese. read more

I ordered what was called a small cheese pepperoni pizza. I added green olives for extra and chose sesame and onions under the crust. Give. Pepperoni was in the name I would have thought it would be on the pizza. No pepperoni whatsoever on the pizza.... Make sure you check your order before you leave or you will be disappointed and overpay This is a copy from the online order 1 SM CHEESE PEPPERONI $15.99 SESAME SEED CRUST Onions SM WHOLE Green Olives sm $2.00 Normal Slices Extra Sauce Xtra Cheese read more
This place hasn't changed. I keep hoping they'll improve but the carry out service is still substandard. I came in tonight to pick up dinner for my husband and myself. He likes their tacos and I wanted some pizza-by-the-slice. Upon arrival there was a line almost out the door. It's a Saturday at nearly 6pm so no surprise there. I sat in the car and watched to see if it was just a little rush and it might make sense to just wait for the line to go down, or if it was going to be a steady stream of customers. Fortunately I didn't have to wait long. The line died down so I went in. The pizza case was almost empty. All that was left were a few slices of cheese, a few slices of pepperoni, and a white pizza with one piece missing. None of it looked enticing but I figured the line *was* just pretty long and who knows how long they've been this busy so it's not unimaginable as to why they were low on pizza. So I decided to wait and see what comes out, which had to have been coming soon. So I waited. And waited. And waited a little longer. You'd think management would anticipate a dinner rush at 6pm on a Saturday night, but that's just me. So I say down at the counter and started playing on my phone to pass the time. While I was waiting, a woman came in to pick up an order she said she'd phoned in about 25 minutes earlier. Problem was they didn't have her order ready. In fact they didn't have the order at all. They didn't even know what it was supposed to be for. I couldn't quite hear everything that was going on but somehow they were aware they'd lost a phone order about a half an hour prior but they didn't know whose, so they weren't able to contact her. They retook her order and she angrily went out to her car to wait. Before I knew it half an hour had gone by and they finally started putting more out. A new 1/2 Pepperoni 1/2 Cheese, a Chicken & Broccoli, a Chicken Finger, a Super Steak, and a Pepperoni & Sausage. So I got up from my seat at the window and went over to the counter. I went straight to the pizza case instead of the register because the cashier seemed confused about everything and I didn't have much confidence in her. The young woman at the pizza case took my order for a large taco, hot, with double meat, no lettuce, no tomato. She said once it's done I could choose my slices. While I was waiting for the taco to be done a man came in with an order he'd picked up a few minutes prior. He asked to speak with a manager. Apparently he'd ordered pierogis and received jalapeño poppers instead. The manager offered to make the pierogis, and the man politely declined. He said he'd just prefer his money back as he had to go and couldn't wait. The manager became insistent and said he could drop them (in the fryer, I'm guessing) right now if the man could just give him 10 minutes and they'd be right up. The man responded that he'd already given him 20 minutes and didn't want to wait any more. The manager went on to insist again. He said he'd give the man back his money if that's what he really wanted but again, if the man could just give him a few minutes they'd be right up. In frustration the man relented and agreed to wait. My taco came up, and the young woman who took my order waved me over. I selected the slices I wanted and she boxed them up. I signed the credit card slip, pointed to it and asked "who gets this tip?" and she replied "I do" so I filled in a nice one. As I turned to leave, I stopped next to the man who was waiting for his pierogis and with my hands full of my order I asked, "Did that manager even offer you a discount for all the trouble?" Nope. The man just shook his head. I shook my head and he said "Hey, it happens." and I replied, "Yes it does-- but so does good customer service, but not here." and he raised his eyebrows and pointed at me as if to say, "You got it". In fairness I left before the mans replacement order came out so I don't know if he got a discount or not. I hope he did. It seems pretty clear to me that this place has poor management. The service is consistently disappointing. That speaks to training, which is the job of management. It's about time for you to get it together, La Nova. I'd be in there a lot more if I wasn't so consistently disappointed. read more

When you have a taste for something, you just have to get it. My mom wanted chicken bites. I called and ordered ahead, with an estimated pick up time of 30 minutes. For a Friday evening, that's not too bad of a wait. The Greek salad is loaded with chicken and feta cheese. #ThankYouThursday (on Friday lol) read more

Came here on a recommendation by a friend. There are two locations for la nova - one that is dine in and one that's delivery with a few seats around. This location is not a dine in location. There are a few seats against the window if you'd like to sit and eat or two picnic tables outside. When you first come in, you get a hit of amazing pizza aromas. The menu is a takeout menu, double sided. Don't be overwhelmed. There's a lot of things on the menu, but remember you're at a pizzeria... get some pizza! I ordered the grandma t's, small... not thinking how large the small is. You can comfortably feed 2-3 with a small pizza. They don't cut it up in slices but squares. The grandma t has Italian sausage, banana peppers, tomato sauce and very little cheese. The dough is good. I would have preferred it to be saucier and cheesier, but it may have just been me overlooking the actual menu. A friend ordered the meat lovers and it was cheesy, greasy and saucy... Pizza was alright. I think this is a pizza preference. I prefer to focus on the ingredients on top of the pizza, so my choice of pizza wasn't the best fit for me. I also ordered the bourbon wings. Nice sized wings that looked fried and finished on the grill, topped with tons of sauce. Sweet, sticky and a real good kick to it. I loved the wings. Overall, it was about a 20 min wait to get food. Very very busy place for delivery. Friends thought it was a great place. Just not my preferred pizza joint. People were super nice though! Slightly pricey for pizza, but I'm not from this city so I can't really judge. I wouldn't necessarily choose to go back for the pizza... but the wings were on point. Side note... Loganberry juice.... is this really popular? Not the biggest fan. Tastes like a melted red freezie. Sweet and... sweet. read more

Ordered cheese pizza with Light Sauce, comes drenched in sauce. Nothing more frustrating when exactly what you DONT want on the pizza is what you get. Especially when it's $30 for a cheese pizza. My son hates extra saucy and he won't eat it. Also extremely floppy and undercooked. Won't be going back read more
