    Doesn't look like fried fish to me looks like pizza
    Fox E.

    If I was a doorman, I'd deny re-ENTRY If I was a guard, I'd be a SENTRY If I was a mentor, I'd be really MENTORY If I wanted men, I'd plant a MEN-TREE But as it happens, pizza really TEMPTS ME The desire burns and pepperoni's the INCENDIARY If I am the peasant then pizza is the GENTRY And the best late night slices are at VENTRY WHAT What to get: Always get the cheese & pep slice, or whichever one is piping hot. For $1.25 What else can I get for $1.25: Not even a bus ride, these days. But you can ride my bus The food here is so greasy, you may get a clogged ventry-cle. But it'll be worth it. Once you get your pizza and leave, they may deny you re-ventry. So make sure you order enough. Otherwise you'll have to come on Yelp and Vent-ry about it. If you're looking to plant some kind of tree, there's no better option than a Ven-tree. The reason for the low ratings of both Frenchy's and Mr. Ventry's is that the area is rough and the people of this town do not know how lucky they are to have these 2, late night, piping hot, authentic unique Niagara Falls-style pizza places handing them out $1.25 slices which are utterly delicious, in a country that - for the most part - does not really know how to make pizza. Here in Niagara Falls, they do. Come and try it for yourself. I brought one of Houston's top Yelpers here along with his family, and I don't think they loved it too much. The part of town is a little intimidating and the food wasn't as piping hot as it should be. Bleh. In any case, NF and Buffalo pizza are acquired tastes, albeit very different from each other. One of the teenagers along for the ride was pressing the grease out using paper towels. The towels ended up completely soaked through and orange. I wasn't surprised. Orange is the new black. More like orange is the new heart attack. Strangely, the vast majority of WNY doesn't realize there are 2 distinct styles of pizza that only exist in WNY. One is Buffalo Pizza, which has thick crust, masses of gooey greasy cheese, and upturned pepperoni with pools of grease glimmering like a lake of cardiac death. The other style is even more unique and far more rare: you can only find it in the city of Niagara Falls, NY. What's more, while about 12 places sell it, only 3 of them have perfected it. Pizza Oven is probably the best, but their very limited hours and being closed months at a time don't make it easy to eat there. They also have no seats. The other two are both excellent, and more importantly, they are both open until the wee hours of the morning, and both have plenty of seating. One is Frenchy's (just a few blocks down from Pizza Oven) and the other is Mr. Ventry's, a few blocks north, on Pierce - not to be confused with Ventry's on Buffalo which is not as good, and has a different owner. Both sell squares of delicious pies for $1.25. Frenchy's has more selection (usually), because while Ventry's has traditional tomato (usually lukewarm), cheese, and cheese-pep (piping hot and ready to burn your mouth). You must always get the Cheese-Pep because it's absolutely magnificent. But only if it's fresh out of the oven. If not, get the one that is hottest, which will be the Cheese if not the Cheese Pep. The original tomato will usually be lukewarm. That's just how it's served. Niagara Falls Pizza is spectacular, if you ask me, but only when it's hot out of the oven and burning your mouth (badly), so make sure you ask for the slices that are fresh out and still piping hot. The clientele at both Frenchy's and Ventry's is poor, and the prices and seating are for poor people. The city is poor, run down, neglected and forgotten. The streets are full of pot holes. This is the real Niagara Falls. There's no fireworks here. Just some of the best pizza for miles. So while you have to sample the delights of Imperial, Bella (S Park Ave), Good Guys, Mattina's, DiPaulo's and Mia Mangia in Buffalo, you also have to come up to the Falls to have NF Pizza at Pizza Oven, and here, at Mr. Ventry's. Also, as a side note, Ventry's goes the extra mile and gives out free slices randomly along with your order. So forget your "Venti" from Starbucks and instead come and get a "Ventry."

    Good food had it delivered nice and hot !!! The kids and I both agreed good food the only down fall they didn't bring us any plates napkins or grated cheese or peppers a must for pizza Got hot wings was expecting celery and carrots but sadly didn't get any

    $1.25 Slice (very small)
    Mark M.

    Went in here Friday night and ordered a half tray and 20 wings, $28. The guy told me 20 minutes. I came back in 30 and still had to wait 15 more minutes for the food to be ready. No apology from him. The food was prepared okay. The pizza slices they sell are only $1.25 but they are pretty small.

    Just across from our Airbnb, my daughter suggested we try it so we walked across the street. Just a neighborhood pizza joint, very friendly. We ordered a full pan 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom. 10 min later and a 2 min walk back to the house we were in heaven! FANTASTIC! Not your everyday pizza, but so good. We didn't even eat half. Great experience at a great price...

    I was really excited to try this place and looking forward to the sweet sauce. I actually drove out…read moreof my way for it. I was let down. First off I will say, no complaints on the price or customer service. The woman was so friendly and personable it made me not want to leave a review since it's not a good one. She was a gem; the pizza: not so much. And judging by the reviews here, maybe it was just an off moment. The sauce wasn't so sweet as I wanted. But that's subjective. However, what I hated the most was my slices were soggy and cold. I mean so soggy I couldn't even eat my last slice. And cold it should not be, as I ate it in my car on the street because I live 35 mins away. I really wanted to love it here after my great customer service experience but unfortunately my experience with the pizza itself was not as great as everyone else's. If I ever happen to have it again (I go to Lewiston often), and have a better quality slice, I will update review but sadly it missed the mark for me.

    I've been to this place a few times but It's been a while since my last visit as every darn time I…read moredrive by it's closed. That's my biggest complaint, I never know when they are open. They have crappy hours and shut down every summer. Some people think that's cool and part of the appeal, I do not. Apparently they are open until June and then good luck trying to figure out when they reopen. Sept? Oct? At any rate, it's a royal pain, and even when they are open, it only seems to be Fri, Sat, Sun. I've tried calling them many times to see if they are open but the phone is never answered, or always busy--so frustrating. Today I actually found them open and grabbed a few cheese slices for $1.25 each. A 12 slice half tray is $14, wow a whole dollar of savings instead of buying them individually, generous huh? The slices were super sweet, like they poured massive amounts of sugar in the sauce and dough. The bottom of the slices were almost black (see one of my pics) because of being overcooked, making them very hard to bite into, and far too chewy/crunchy. Thanks, but no thanks--it's just not worth the hassle. I rather choose one of the other local places with normal operating hours, and better quality control.
