Food is always fresh and outstanding. PIzzas are great, pastas wonderful, turkey dinners are next level. Wide variety of subs and other Buffalo staples. read more

Great food. Best turkey sub anywhere. We drive from Hamburg just to get one. Their pizza is awesome too. Go there now and thank me later.

We have been here many times over the years and never had a bad meal. As far as I'm concerned, Lunetta's has the best sauce of any Italian restaurant in the area. Great service, too! read more

Turkey sub had good flavor but very skimpy on meat, less than half the amount shown in another reviewers pics. Large antipasto had very little lettuce and the darker greens were black with rot. Loaded with too much cured meat, almost no cheese, and could use some decent olives and more of them. Has always been a go to but prices have gone way up with problems noted. read more

Fish fry is SO good. So many other things that are probably really good too but now it's just a matter of filling in enough letters so I can leave this review for their really good fish fry. read more

My boyfriends favorite favorite place for pizza In Buffalo! They always order half sheet with cheese and pepperoni! It takes a while though so be sure to call like 2 hours before when you need it. It comes out super hot and fresh! Sauce is bomb and pepperoni is perfect. Thank you! read more

Ordered to take out. Fish Fries were really good - ordered one batter and one breaded. Good portions. Tartar was yummy and I love getting a slice of rye with each order (reminds me of my Polish Aunt's fish fries. I'm confident that if we are 'in' instead of takeout, this would have been a 5 . read more

Going downhill (food, too) Place screams PUT ON HEAT and when another customer told them this a larger blonder gal said our staff gets warm - r u joking I wanted to say to the customer my days of eating in my jacket are about over Recently (to take home), got a pie it was thin and no flavor to sauce and skimpy on the cheese the peps had been burnt NEVER would I thought I say this So sit or take-out BYE read more

Phenomenal Turkey dinners and subs! They use roasted Turkey instead of processed deli meat.

Food was good but genuinely shocked at the price. $40 for a chicken finger dinner (large) and a chicken finger sub. Ask for price before ordering to avoid sticker shock. Note: large chicken finger dinner was 5 fingers plus maybe 20 fries at most (looked like a normal or a small) Yelp for this place should be "$$" not "$" read more

So one night, I was with these 2 girls from California (no, neither of them was Katy Perry), (no, neither of them was a guy dressed as a girl), (I don't think), and we were up on a hill in the medium-strength wind underneath the stars, and we were waiting for a Bonnie-Tyler-opposite, which is a "not-quite-total-eclipse-of-the-moon." And it was like, how long are we going to stand out here waiting for this thing, it's late. So we were all wondering "what is the Lunar ETA?" And one of the girls was like "I wanna open a sub shop and diner." And the other girl was like "I dare you to call it Lunar ETA." And Lunetta's was born. True story. Not even slightly. What to order: The Royal Sub. If you are one of those Loo-Needers, as in people that have to run to the bathroom a lot, then you will love this place. Because they have a bathroom fairly close to their seating area, so you can eat... bathroom... eat... bathroom... e... bathroom again quickly... eat some more... go out to car... run back in to bathroom... no worries at all. My favourite thing here is the Royal Sub. They recommended it the first time I came in and it was spectacular, and in fact is my fave Royal Sub in Western NY and possibly my fave sub of all in the region, definitely right up there as one of the best - and best value - sandwiches. Italian lunch meat that is thick and fresh with deliciously cooked spicy sausage. Awesome. Not too huge or filling, it's just right and the bread is fantastic too. As for the other stuff, I've tried a few other subs and they were always good, I've tried their Italian food which was okay but not amazing, and I've had a meatball (which wasn't amazing), and a milkshake (which I didn't like at all and went right through me) so based on my experiences so far, it's all about the subs... and they are so good that I'd recommend coming here just to get one. They also do fresh carved turkey which they are very proud of. If you like Turkey you will love this. I don't really like turkey, but it's so juicy and good that I often add turkey for a very small fee, to my Royal sub for a little extra awesomenessyness. You should give it a try. Check out my pic to see what that looks like. In terms of location, if you take the Cleveland Drive exit off I-90 East, you practically crash into their parking lot (and if you are speeding, you literally do). If you're coming from other directions, just take Union or Dick/Cayuga to Cleveland or to Wehrle which is nearby... follow the watertower, it's only a few blocks away from it on the same side of the highway. They're open pretty late every night too, 10pm I think. Incredible prices, great service, and the royal is one of the best sandwiches in town. And my friend who is a sandwich and sub lover, says it's the best Royal she's had. And the guys in Pulp Fiction love it too. Which would be true, if they were real, and had ever tried it. And whatever you order from here is known as a "Lunettable." As in edible. They don't sell Lunettable Underwear just yet but I don't even think that is hot to be honest. And I think almost everything is hot. But food is awesome and hotness is awesome but mixing food and hotness kind of eliminates the hotness in my none-too-humble opinion. read more

I would never go into this place. The outside looks so bad that you have to wonder how the kitchen looks. BUT my husband used to live in that neighborhood so he picked up a pizza. It was actually VERY GOOD. I was surprised. Can we get John Taffer in here? read more

I for some odd reason was craving Thanksgiving dinner and I said... I'm not sure if they'll have it today with it being a holiday weekend? They did! I ate it with a birch beer! OMG SOOOO GOOD!!! read more

Lunettes is the place you sometimes forget about then kick yourself for not going. Always delicious and served in a timely manner, the food is a cut above the regular joints. You'll find all the regular pizza and subs (which are great) but also some handcrafted specialty items that will surprise you. It was also a nice surprise to see a pretty decent draft beer selection including Rusty Chain, and the beer was cheaper than anywhere I've ever seen. The staff is polite and attentive and Tony manning the kitchen is always on his game. If Escoffier were alive, he would be envious of Tony's bologna! read more

Drove past this place many times and was always curious. I mistakenly thought it was a hot dog stand/greasy spoon type of place. Was pleasantly surprised when we tried it the first time. Everything is home made including their soups and dinner entrees. Prices are pretty reasonable and friendly staff too. read more

Beware of the OWNER.. placed an order today and when we drove 20 mins there & back to find the fish sub was on a plain bun missing the cheese, lettuce & mayo. When calling all they said was we will issue a lettuce & cheese credit.. how do you do that? My sandwich still isn't what I ordered! After being put on hold with 2 different girls the owner got on. He refused to redo the sub and wanted the original to be brought back and finish making it. We said no... wanted a new one and will bring the old plain COLD sub back for a fresh HOT one made the correct way. He said to F__K the lettuce and F__k the cheese and hung up. We called back and every other word was the F Bomb and he ended it with I don't care about your business I will be closing up in a week.. What happen to I'm sorry this happen and will do it right give me 20 mins and come pick up a new HOT one..not bring me your old one and I will work with the soagy roll, and COLD fish and now how many hands touched this? This isn't the 1st time I heard the owner/manager was vulgar and throwing things at employees!! Sorry to lose a place we frequented every other week.. but when he treats customers like that maybe it's time to Retire! Classic Fish sub read more

We love their breakfast. Their French toasts are crunchy and awesome. We have loved this place every time we have been here. Calm, friendly and local. read more

I was house sitting in Cheektowaga and wanted to order takeout. It was already 730pm so most of the places I called weren't answering (closing at or around 8pm). I happened to find Lunetta's and decided to try it because it was close & I liked their name (that's how normal people choose takeout places, right?). So I called and the woman on the phone was very helpful and answered all my pasta/salad dressing/portion size questions. Most places I've called have been short and snippy but the woman on the phone was pleasant and patient! I ordered stuffed shells with a side salad to go and when I went to pick up my order, she made sure to warn me about the lid (sometimes they pop off when the food is super hot, I've had this happen before and without warning!) so she taped the sides for me, making little easy pull tabs for easy pasta access and even put my salad in a separate bag so that it didn't get warm while being in close proximity to my pasta. Most places don't take the time to do this and I get home with things that should be cold.. that are now room temp, yuck! Needless to say, the service was great, the prices reasonable, the location (if in Cheektowaga area) awesome & the food delicious! I'll be ordering from here again! read more

Lunetta's has been around over 50 years. I used to go to Cleveland Drive location as a kid as I lived a few house from there. The now owner, Tony has been there all his life as his grandfather started the place. Food has always been exceptional. This last year with Covid has taken a toll on all restaurants and businesses so if something is wrong we as a community have to realize that the owner and what employees he or she have are trying to do their best under the circumstances. I have been going to Lunetta's off and on for 50+ years. Yes you will get a bad day, doesn't everyone? If you do try Lunetta's go for the turkey sub. Real roasted turkey! Best around! If you do have any issues Tony will make it right. I give it 5 Stars! read more

A fantastic, historic staple. Simple food, but it's good and easy on the wallet. The pizza is unexpectedly enjoyable- it has been for years. All of the food besides is delicious diner food that I never miss when passing through the Buffalo area. The waitstaff is just as fantastic and nice. Do yourself a favor and stop by, like locals have been for decades. read more

Lunettas has been around forever and while it doesn't look like much from the outside it's with a visit. They have the best BLT subs I've ever had in my life - something about the bread, crispy bacon, and the perfect amount of everything else. Their pizza is also very good! read more

The staff is trying but do not order from here. Not practicing social distancing, an employee touching money and then food without washing hands. We were told 45 minutes for food but it took 1 hr 25 minutes. Got home and I ordered a beef sandwich. They used bread. We asked for gravy on the side. They didnt do that. By the time I got hom the bread was so soggy you couldn't pick it up. Worst meal! read more

4th time been here...NOPE Sauce is bland (spaghetti is one of their fortes, too) Say homemade turkey but fake potatoes and fake very poor flavor gravy - why waste the turkey!!! Small as in like a teaspoon of cranberries - again, don't make this your claim to fame = $$$$ for an extra Desserts are very bland and almost taste old Soup has a water-down flavor - many times Hires the disabled and that is kind, but they seem to lack supervision - present as dirty No refills - sign says Pepsi and they don't serve it We will not give them opportunity 5 or 6 read more

Extremely disappointed this time. Came all the way from Phoenix and looked forward to their subs which are usually fantastic. The pizza sub was about 3/4' tall with very little inside. My "cold" sub was about 1: tall and that included the bread. read more

I loves me some Lunetta's! Lunetta's happens to be around the corner from my house. Being single and male, I tend to order out more than I should. Lunetta's is a diner type joint with friendly staff, good food and fair prices. I typically do takeout but the dining room is always hopping when I stop in. Remember those places where you'd go in years ago and the wait person would know your name and say hi? Lunetta's is that type of place. If you're good, she might even call you "honey" like the ladies at the old Your Host! Get to Lunetta's, relax and enjoy a meal in a casual atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you want to taste Buffalo come to Lunettas. They truly take pride in what they do here, and they do it well. The subs are a thing of beauty, literally picture perfect. My favorite is the Imperial, and the hot turkey with hot salami. Speaking of turkey, its all roasted in house and Sun and Wed are hot turkey nights, get the sandwich with gravy fires. You want a chargrilled Sahlens hot, they got you covered. Want a perfect Buffalo style pizza with cupped pepperoni and a nice crispy yet doughy crust, they got it. The only thing I can not really recommend is the pasta dishes, the red sauce is not very good. They do have beer and wine and an old school lunch counter, plus it's great for kids. Step back in time, and enjoy some Buffalo style home cooking. read more

A great neighborhood place that serves good food at a decent price. I wish the dining room was open, but takeout is very quick.

The best turkey sub in WNY. ALL entrees are A+. Besides me all my friends will agree on this too.

Best family diner I've found in the area. Our waitress was extremely welcoming and explained the specials and what the restaurant was known for since we were first timers. The chicken parm I had was crispy and satisfying, but my partners stuffed shells were very delicious. I am very picky about red sauce and theirs was not overly sweet and was a good consistency. I loved how much bread came with our dinners and that I could order a small portion, even at dinner time. Overall we had a great experience and I cannot wait to come back for a white pizza or turkey dinner. read more

I enjoyed my experience at Lunetta's, it's a small diner restaurant, and it seems like they maintain a lot of their business from their regulars. We had the chicken wings and they were so crispy good! We also ordered spaghetti dishes and they were only $5-6 with portions large enough to overfill ourselves. I would definitely come back if I were in town to try other things. read more

Right off the bat I'll gladly point out that it's 5 star service. The waitress was so so nice. Very geniune. Anticipated our every need: refills, crackers for the baby, ect. The turkey sub really is good. I could use a smoked flavor or something a little more to it...as its slightly bland but don't get me wrong delicious. Their garlic bread that came with the penned and meatball was good. Fries also good. Meatball itself not too bad. The sauce is where I got lost. The place was swarmed with a more elderly crowd. Perhaps regulars/locals. All and all an okay place. Nothing bad just bot amazing. I highly emphasize how nice the staff was though. Really nice to have that level of service any where you go. read more

Okay, so this is not my usual sort of fare however, I was starving en route home and decided to pull off the road. Glad I did, as not to die this early on behind the wheel due to a bout of hypoglycemia. Seriously, this little 'ole place serves its local yokels well. I got out for under ten dollars this evening, and it was alright. I didn't die - so that's a plus. Either way stop off sometime, sit at their counter and start a conversation with the lively customers they have. The regulars make this place what it is. And kudos to Karen, I love you - such a sweet owner of this place she is. I had a blast meeting some more colorful characters this neck of the woods. And they got my humour so that's a good thing. read more

Lunetta's - Dark German beer on tap - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Delicious sandwiches, pizzas and salads! As well as an awesome variety of dessert Pies!

What I can say. This is the old standard in Cheektowaga. Classic Fish Fry offered on Friday nights, still as good as I remembered it from about 14 years ago. Subs are also great. Its the real deal turkey subs here...meat cut off the tukey not turkey deli meet. Really good and good prices. I just wish they were open later than 10PM. read more

I was visiting the area from Richmond, VA and this was hands down the best restaurant of our stay. Randomly found it on Yelp and we were not disappointed. Luckily it was on a Sunday so we enjoyed the Turkey dinner for a little over 8 bucks and ziti with awesome meatballs and sauce...food like this is unheard of in VA! If you live around Buffalo consider yourself lucky because this is a hidden gem that is worth regular visits. From the old Lunetta's sign out front, to the lunch counter and stools inside, you will definitely catch a nostalgic vibe. I will be back in May! read more

Lunetta's - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Lunetta'a has delicious diner food, but the restaurant desperately needs to be remodeled. It has not been updated since at least the 1980s. The service can be slow too, but if you don't mind waiting a bit, you'll be happy with the food. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. The Royal Sub is a family favorite. Right off I-90, we stop there everytime we pass though Buffalo! read more

Lunetta's - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

There are some things in life that don't and should not change. I can remember going to Lunetta's on Hertel as a teenager for good quality Italian food. The menu had pizzas, submarines, wings , and so much more. There would always be this big Italian man with glasses sitting at the bar with a beverage doing paper work or talking with customers. I found out soon enough it was Tony the owner who set a high standard of what his restaurant represented. It was the most consistent place with great service and food were we enjoyed for many years. So now his son and great staff continues the tradition on Cleveland Drive. Thanks read more

Cheektowaga neighborhood diner-style home-cooking restaurant with a variety of options (and a host of Italian-style standards). Must try favorties include their Royal Sub (italian sausage, capicola, and cheese), their delicious hand-carved turkey sandwiches (night and day difference between this delicious, moist roasted turkey and the pressed turkey you'll find at a deli or most sub shops), and their pizza & wings. They definitely have an old-fashioned Buffalo vibe about them, and their service is pleasant and top notch. Best of all, you won't break the bank eating here, as everything is very reasonably priced. (Breakfast is served on Saturday and Sunday mornings if the mood strikes) FBBC Alert!: Upon a recent visit, we were drinking our fall seasonal, Bisonfest Lager, until the keg ran out and was quickly replaced by our Rusty Chain Vienna-style Lager. Proud to be one of the few local selections on offer! read more

The owner (Tony) is loud and brash. No sense for dining room etiquette. Food is bland, our waitress Karen was rude and not helpful in the least. The meatballs were SOO flavorless, and the pasta, overcooked. The German potato salad was ok. But came out pretty cold. The portions are also very skimpy. Overall a horrid experience, I'd rather see a McDonalds in its place...and I refuse to eat there. Unforgivably bad... read more
