    I don't like pizza and I don't believe in god, but this mannah was kissed by Jesus and sent from the heavens on the wings of angels to give us mere mortals a glimpse of what the afterlife is like. This is the cheese pull we have all been coveting since The Goofy Movie in 1995.

    Small (12", 6 slice) Big John's "World Famous" Stuffed Hot Pepper pizza - Plenty of stuffed hot peppers!
    Clark S.

    Another Saturday, another Buffalo pizza! I wanted to give Lovejoy Pizza another try and, all-in-all, it was fine. On a Saturday, around 5pm, I called and placed an order for pickup. The gentleman on the phone told me to pick it up in 40-45 minutes. I arrived around 40 minutes later and was able to walk in, pay, and pick up my pizza without any issues. The customer service here was good, nothing to complain about, but nothing noteworthy. Just note that if you're paying with a credit card, be prepared to wait a few minutes as it takes a few minutes for their machine to process everything. This Saturday, I ordered a small (12", six slice) Big John's "World Famous" Stuffed Hot Pepper pizza. Overall, it was ok, the best part about it was the sliced stuffed hot peppers. The stuffing was a six cheese blend so there's no meat on this pizza. The red sauce was on the sweeter side and plentiful. Just a quick side-note: I'm used to stuffed hot pepper pizzas being made with a white, creamy, more garlic-style sauce base but Lovejoy uses their red sauce. I would've preferred a white sauce base but the red sauce was fine, this is just my personal preference so ymmv! The Romano, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses on top were fine but, oddly, no real standout flavor between them. The last time I grabbed a pizza from here, the dough was a bit overdone. This time, the dough was a bit underdone and the crust had no crisp to it. The pizza needed to stay in the oven for another five minutes. The size of the pizza was good though and filled me up without leaving me "stuffed". When it comes to the price of this pizza, it was a bit steeper than compared to other Buffalo pizza shops. I've had some time to think about and compare Lovejoy Pizza to the other Buffalo pizza shops. They're okay, but the true test came when I had family over and they wanted pizza - Lovejoy Pizza was immediately taken out of the discussion. Lovejoy isn't bad pizza, but there are better, more affordable, pizza shops in Buffalo.

    Pizza is great!!! Excellent wings, sides, and subs. Reasonable prices and full of flavor and unique combinations. A Buffalo staple with friendly service.

    Best buffalo pizza!! The quality of the dough really makes it. Their subs are great too!

    So I've had food from here before and have never had a problem always been great. However ordered wings and peppers Sunday evening and I was highly disappointed! The wings were dry! Look at the photos! What? At least don't count those pieces towards my order! And the peppers were so greasy! BF first and last time to have food there! A waste of $50!

    Love Joy Street Sub

    This sub was AMAZING! I've been eating this pizza for years as my sister lives on North Ogden and we would always get food from here. I haven't tried anything else besides the pizza and wings (which I recommend) until my boyfriend wanted a chicken finger sub. So I picked up a "Love Joy Street sub" for him which is a chicken finger sub with stuffed hot peppers. My god this was the best chicken finger sub I ever ate. There are sliced stuffed hot peppers underneath the layered chicken fingers! It tasted as if they spread the stuffed pepper insides on the roll like a mayonnaise. It was so tasty with the flavors of the spicy chicken fingers. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great pizza joint or some delicious subs!!

    I'm always on the lookout, keeping my ear to the ground, for great pizza places in Buffalo…read more Although sometimes, I just want to try some place new. I had heard good things about Naked City Pizza, so I decided to take a break from my usual spots and give them a try and overall, I am very pleased! I called around 4:45pm on a Saturday and a gentleman took my order. He was courteous and friendly and said my order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. I arrived about 30 minutes later, easily finding a parking spot in their large parking lot, which is a mixture of pavement and dirt/gravel. Walking inside the shop, it's similar to most Buffalo pizza shops where it's relatively small and really about take-out, not for dining in. There were a few young guys working the counter and ovens, they were able to get me in and out quickly. From the limited time I was inside, the workers were friendly enough, they seemed to get along well. For dinner, I ordered a Quarter Sheet (6 slices) Steak and Three Cheese pizza but the gentleman who took my order over the phone put my order in as a Half Sheet (12 slices). They realized the mistake too late and gave me the Half Sheet for the Quarter Sheet price! I really do appreciate that, it's great customer service. I have half a pizza leftover for a quick dinner now! Naked City Pizza nails the traditional Buffalo-style with a doughier undercarriage and nice crispy, chewy crust. The dough was airy but it didn't seem as "heavy" as many other pizza places around Buffalo, but maybe I was just REALLY hungry. haha For their steak pizza, it seems like they use thicker pieces of steak, which was great, definitely felt more substantial. Most steak pizzas come topped with banana, hot, or sweet (bell/green) peppers, but Naked City uses roasted red peppers, which are sweet and have a more distinct flavor and softer texture - I was impressed, this paired VERY well with the other components! Along with them, there's also onions on top. The three cheeses used are cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, which of course are delicious. In addition to the roasted sweet peppers, the other component that I was surprised by was the white garlic sauce as the base. Steak pizzas around Buffalo vary from using a "hoagie oil/sauce" to just a huge variety of cheeses, no base sauce of any kind. I tend to stay away from white sauce on pizza as it's usually associated with garlic (I don't want my breath to be too... fragrant haha), but this wasn't too garlic-y, I didn't feel like I was "wearing it". I enjoyed the added creaminess the white sauce added to this pie. After six slices, I stopped myself and put the other half in the freezer. The six slices I had were delicious and filled me up nicely - The squares were cut nicely and they were plenty filling with tons of meat and cheese. I have a feeling these will reheat in the oven nicely. Looking at the prices, I was impressed too with how affordable Naked City Pizza is! All-in-all, I'm glad I gave Naked City Pizza a chance and had a great experience! The staff are friendly enough and quick, it's easy to get in and out quickly, and the pizza is traditional Buffalo-style so it's on the heartier end while being affordable. I look forward to ordering and trying a red sauce pizza from Naked City Pizza to see how sweet their sauce is.

    Pizza is so delicious. Great Italian style. Customer service is also very good!…read moreWill 100% be coming back.

    Wow. Hands down some of the best pizza we've had…read more We ordered the San Felice Pizza -- San Marzano tomatoes, house-made sausage, sweet and spicy peppers, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil -- and it was absolute perfection. The flavors don't compete... they melt together into one big, perfect masterpiece. The peppers leaned sweet (no real heat), which made them the ideal companion to the delicious sausage. And that sausage? Made in-house and seasoned beautifully, with the perfect amount of fennel -- enough to give it that classic Italian character without overpowering the pie. Perfection! The buffalo mozzarella added creamy richness, the basil kept everything bright, and the San Marzano tomatoes were clean and balanced. We love pizza in all its forms -- New York style and Napoli alike -- but there is something about the rustic goodness of true Neapolitan pizza that has a special place in my pizza-loving heart. That airy, soft center and char-kissed crust from the wood-fired oven is magic. The use of such fresh ingredients makes Forno Napoli my favorite pizza on NY so far - authentic and intentional. There is a lot of love and pride in everything from the handmade crust to all of the toppings. They also serve a garlic butter and cheese dipping sauce for the crust -- indulgent and completely unnecessary in the BEST possible way. That blistered crust dipped in that sauce? Unreal. The cheese? Yes, they have the most beautiful wheel of pecorino they hand grate from to make this happen. No green shaker bottles here! We met Felix, the owner, and he was incredibly welcoming. He has such great energy -- warm, engaging, and clearly passionate. You can tell he's the heartbeat behind the recipes and the success of the business. It feels personal. He made us want to share just how great our entire experience was and he certainly made us want to return. Our only regret? We were too full to try another pizza. Do not hesitate. This truly is a slice of heaven.

I'm a member of their rewards program and once in a while, they'll send me a coupon for $5 off, or a certain percentage off of my next order. So, when I get one of these rewards, I make sure to take advantage and order a pie! Shoutout to the staff as they're always friendly and courteous. I need to praise how open and honest they are, which was put on full display with a recent order. One Pie Pizza Co. bakes a truly authentic Buffalo-style pizza with an airy, doughy undercarriage, a balanced chewy, crispy crusty, plenty of mozzarella cheese and sweet red sauce with cup-n-char pepperoni, but I like my dough, the undercarriage, to be a bit more cooked, firm, crispy, so I've been requesting "extra crispy on the bottom/underneath" more recently. But the way One Pie Pizza Co. cooks their pizzas makes that request a little more difficult as they use a conveyor belt process, so when ordering online there are two "Special Instructions" options: LIGHT WELL DONE and WELL DONE (Dark, crispy crust with charred edges). I've been trying to figure out which of these options would offer the more firm, crispier dough I want, so I ended up talking to some of the staff working there and explained my conundrum. They were wonderful in hearing me out and suggesting how I should place my order to get what I am looking for. So, what's the way to get the dough more firm, crispy underneath? Order your pizza LIGHT WELL DONE and ask if they could put your pizza on top of the oven for 10 minutes before they put it into the oven to cook it! The dough might raise up a bit more, but it should help pre-heat, cook the dough a little bit more. Of course, nothing wrong with adding a note asking for extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. I've ordered a few times in 2026 and each time my order has been a QTR Sheet (six slice) cheese, pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers, and ricotta cheese pizza, LIGHT WELL DONE cook/extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. This is an excellent pizza, with tons of toppings on each slice and plenty of ricotta cheese ladled on top. Drizzle a little hot honey to add a little sweet kick. This pizza never fails to leave me happy and full. I will say, their pizza might be on the pricier end in Buffalo, but it's worth it. One Pie Pizza Co. certainly earned, and deserves its high marks and regards within the Buffalo pizza community! I'm glad to keep them in my list of go-to Buffalo pizza shops.
