    two pizzas on a table
    Terry B.

    My rating is a 5 Star but the story goes way back when they were Pontillo's on East Avenue, then Walnut St up in the city. This is my all time favorite and nothing can ever change that. I've been around the world I've had pizza everywhere I've been. Pizza is very subjective but I've had three great pizzas. One in Athens Greece, one in Oslo, Norway and Lock City pizza. Whenever I get to make my way home this is a must stop!

    From Texas and all I can say is yummmmm! This place will disappoint. We got a pepperoni pizza and mild Buffalo wings and you can tell the amount of love that went into creating this food! Worth it!

    We've heard a lot of great things about Lock City Pizza, so we bypassed all the pizzerias in Williamsville and drove to Lockport to check it out. The place is like an old time pizzeria, but the annoying thing is they only accept cash. The pizza and wings are great! I would definitely go back. They put a ton of cheese on the pizza.

    Oh my gosh freakin Lock City. It's been a life long debate in my family. As a kid growing up I hated it but here I am in my 30's ordering it. This place is old school and hasn't changed since I was kid...maybe ever. They only take cash, they have one phone line and don't open until 4pm. Getting a busy signal is common. There's no website or online menu, but with all that being said, I love all of those things about Lock City. It's a visit back in time. It's not just about the pizza, it's about the nostalgia....But let's get to the pizza. It's their own dough, heavy cheese, and quality toppings. Yeah, it's greasy on top but it's a delicious experience. Just do it.

I still willingly drive out to Lockport just for this pizza and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I *always* order a sheet pizza and it never disappoints. Whether it's hot out of the oven or cold leftovers, Pizza Oven's signature sweet sauce is everything... maybe even a little addictive. I know sweet sauce isn't for everyone but for me it's pure perfection. I can (and do) eat way too many slices in one sitting - all with zero regrets. Pizza Oven is consistently delicious and I get the consistency every single time. The service is fine, I usually call ahead to place my order. The ambiance of the pizzeria is, maybe a little run down but it's like a good dive bar - the greasier, the better. Whether it's for a game day, a family gathering, or just because, Pizza Oven is always my go-to when I'm in WNY. Some spots are worth the drive, the calories, and the nostalgia and Pizza Oven is absolutely one of them. Never change, Pizza Oven!

    I am a sucker for Pizza Oven. It is not my most frequently visited slice in Lockport, but when I am…read morecraving it, nothing else will do. The slices are cheap, often ready when you have a drive by craving and are always consistent. I happen to like a sweet sauce pizza, which is a regional specialty. If you don't, you will without a doubt hate it. If you haven't had it, I would suggest giving it a try and keeping an open mind, but know this is not a normal slice. In addition to liking the pizza as a whole, anywhere that uses cup char pepperoni gets a bonus star from me. Are the the cleanest looking? No. Do they have seating? No. Do they do anything awesome outside of the pizza? No. So, know what you're getting into and if it's your thing, you'll love it. The pizza is in my top 10 and the staff are nice, so I love it.

It is more reasonably priced than some of it's competitors, so it gets value points there. I feel like they would be good for a party because of their price and agreeable quality. I do feel like their chicken cordon blue pizza is a little bit better than everything else on their menu, I'd give that a 4. Service is the same, no one is particularly warm, but I also feel taken care of. Can you guess what I am going to say about the atmosphere?... also adequate. Walk don't run to Papa Leos and grab a slice if you need something without breaking the bank. If you want higher quality taste and a have a little more money, their competitor a block away would get my vote.

I was told that he doesn't know how to do refunds and to call back "another time" to talk to a different manager who knows how to process refunds. Sadly, that was a mistake. I called the next day and talked to Emma who was an absolute ball of sunshine (not really, she was super rude and did not care about my experience). I politely asked for a refund and she said she would remake the food for me. I told her I didn't want that because my experience the previous night was so awful that I didn't really want to eat it again. She told me I could come pick up the cash refund (I paid with a card) that day, and that day only. Sadly I was at work so I once again politely asked for a refund to my card, which is how I purchased the food. She told me she had to call the owners, then call me back. I was told my refund would be processed in 4 days. Well, she's a liar. It's been 3 weeks and I never got it, so I won't be going back here any longer. The food is garbage and the employees that gave me the runaround are terrible at their jobs. I wouldn't recommend that you eat here.

I had lasagna- the noodles were to al dente making it chewy, cook them a few minutes longer, the food temp was warm at best. I ordered a meatball on the side, it literally fell apart when I cut into it, it should be firm and ease up on the oregano. Your sauce was very good, the fresh bread wonderful. My husband had the jumbo stuffed shells and had to request more sauce, but he enjoyed them. The French onion soup was excellent, problem here is our entree showed up before we finished, we felt rushed and couldn't enjoy it the way we would've liked. There was a great dessert selection. I had the brownie sundae and hubby had the Italian cream cake, both were very good The server was very friendly and accommodating. Her name escapes me, but we were at table #3 on New Year's eve, which was why we didn't send any food back for correction. It was very busy. The restaurant ambiance was nice, not overly noisy considering how busy they were. I might suggest a less busy time to go to this restaurant. I feel they might have been overwhelmed with the amount of guests. We have been here a few times and the food seems like it tasted better during those visits. The price of our meal was what you would expect from a mid scale restaurant including drinks and dessert.
