Great pizza been a customer's forever ... consistntly good ...: woot... have to try the wings

Updating a review from many years ago because some things simply don't change and Pizza Oven is one of them. 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! read more

I am a sucker for Pizza Oven. It is not my most frequently visited slice in Lockport, but when I am craving 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. read more

My dad takes me here every time we visit Lockport. Best sweet pizza in the city! The service is fast and reliable too. read more

Sweet sauce is tasty. Pizza is baked well done. Pepperoni is delicious. White pizz as is also a good choice.

Fantastic Pizza I especially love their Stromboli. Service is always friendly & responsive.

Maybe you have to be a local to appreciate this pizza...but I am a local and think the sweet sauce is great. Love the cup and char pepperoni topping. Easy online ordering is available as well. Parking can be a challenge, but it's because it's so good! read more

White pizza is phenomenal. I am usually a cheese and pep only guy but every now and then I need to branch out. Loved having the white pie, and the extra toppings on the other one. Coulda been cooked a touch more but always good. I like it well done from PO read more

Pizza Oven by far has the biggest best chicken wings around! I wish I had some of their chicken wings right now! The atmosphere is always busy and friendly. The delivery is quick and the food is always hot. read more

My kids all like pizza oven and if they recommend it, it's gotta be good cause they are connoisseurs of pizza Five stars read more

Definitely one of the better pizzas in the area. Great crust, flavorful sauce, and the perfect amount of cheese.

The best pizza in Lockport, only I wish that they would cut the pizza in slices and not squares. It certainly has the best sweet sauce pizza from anywhere. On football nights and weekends, you can't find a parking place and really due to the fact that they only have parking for 3 cars at the most. But it's sort of out of the way, but no traffic or city to get to their place!* Star rating a 5 star rating for Pizza Oven!***** I really don't know what to say about Pizza Oven anymore than I already have! I can't say anymore about Pizza Oven They always have your pizza ready when they tell you it's going to be ready! Service is great--in and out. Ambience could be a little better but you aren't staying there!There is nothing more that I can say about Pizza Oven!! How much do you need to post your post? read more

There is no place quite like pizza oven. No pizza quite like it either. Always a pie ready to be sliced and individually divy'd out for everyone's enjoyment. Only one person serving the masses though so I had to be patient. She was properly gloved and masked and a nice young lady. read more

Another Lockport staple for many many years. Pizza Oven has one of those polarizing pizzas, that many either love or hate. Bottom line the sauce is VERY sweet. I'm more of a traditional pizza sauce person, but still very much enjoyed this place. The crust is thin, soft, with crispy burnt edges. Cup & char Pepperoni is great, and the cheese has just the right amount of pull/chew. The overall combination of flavors is very unique. I'll absolutely go back for more, but it'll be awhile - That occasion when I'm craving something different/Sweet. read more

What a great little place for pizza and wings! On the recommendation of our daughter we wanted to try a new place for pizza (and wings) so we have them a shot. The pizza. Crust was a thin crust with sauce and cheese all the way to the end. Sauce was sweet and the pepperoni was charred and cupped like old school pizza. The wings. Half mild and half honey garlic. The honey garlic sauce was awesome! Not too garlicky and just the right amount of sweet. Definitely hitting this place up again and maybe gonna try a Stromboli as they looked amazing! read more

It has been pry 20 years since I last ate here. It is just as good as I remembered. The prices are still very reasonable and the menu has quite a few options. The stromboli was so delicious and so much gooey cheese and pepperoni the dough was cooked just right. Crispy and cheesy and yummy. Will be back again to relive my childhood with some good stromboli. read more

I ordered two Stromboli's with sausage and mushroom, to my surprise I was given pepperoni and mushroom. I remember why I haven't ordered from them in the last six months. Way to go guys! read more

Pizza Oven is a staple of Lockport. Everyone knows it for its sweet sauce, cup-n-char pepperoni, and it's just good hangover greasy pizza. However, I have an issue with the owner, John. He is loud, crass, and extremely inappropriate, always running his mouth no matter where he is and doesn't matter who he offends with his opinion. Just recently, he decided to share his views on what "makes a real man" and how liking certain foods and condiments make you gay. As a gay man, who isn't offended easily, this pissed me off. I also know from past experience that his employees are not hygienic. I worked a loading job with two of the workers there, who would get disgustingly sweaty and gross before going to their job at the pizzeria, never cleaning or showering before clocking in. There are many other pizzerias in the WNY region, and Lockport, that I will take my business to. read more

I LOVE this place! It is always on my "must have" list when we visit my Hubs' family. The sweet sauce is phenomenal and typically I'm a thin crust eater but I love this crust. It's a must try if you're ever in the Lockport area!!! read more

Pizza Oven is one of two pizza joints in Lockport that you either love or hate (the other being Lock City). I love Pizza Oven so keep this in mind. The pizza is the original sweet sauce for which Lockport pizza is known for. The crust is soft and thin and reminds me a bit of the Indian bread Naan. The pepperoni is the classic cup and char with plenty of grease filling the cups. Yes, the sauce is very sweet, the crust is soft and thin, the edges get burned, it's greasy, they slice it weird, that's what makes it great. Just know this going into it. Everyone should give it a try to see if they are a lover or hater. Their wings are average sometimes better than others. On this occasion the medium was a little lacking. The barbecue is a little tangy and spicy, reminds me of Open Pit bbq sauce. read more

We have been loyal customers for almost 30 years. Lately, we have noticed there are less ingredients on the pizza. My kids now want double cheese & double pepperoni. The pizza is way up in price already. Sorry, we're moving on. read more

This was a first and a last time we will go to Pizza Oven. Buffalo pizza is the best in the United States hands down! This was recommended to me by my BIL who used to live in Lockport. We recently ordered Franco's pizza for our daughter's birthday party at Monster Golf. He stated that we were missing the boat by not trying this place instead. And so it goes kinda like this... The crust was flimsy and doughy, edges burnt (not good burnt like a Bocce club pizza). The sauce was overwhelmingly sweet. Remember the taste of corn syrup? Now add that to your favorite red sauce + thin it out more. That's what you get! Cheap cheese and sparingly so applied. The best part were the burnt pepperoni. We make our own dough and our own sauce. I grew up in an Italian & Polish household where there was love and care put into anything we cooked or baked. This was thrown together by someone who needed to get that next order out and done so they could get a smoke break perhaps? If you're going to try this place out, I recommend just buying a slice first. 3/3 in our house gave it thumbs down. Sorry Pizza Oven. If you make a different sauce, you should offer it up front so customers are aware. And throw some TLC into your end product. read more

The best pizza in Lockport, maybe in all of Western New York. I ordered three large pizzas for a party on Saturday night - cheese, pepperoni and pineapple. Three large pies for $39 seemed a bit on the steep side, but I had a buzz so I didn't care too much. The pizza was gone in about 20 minutes. Everyone loved it. read more

Don't try printing off any coupons from the internet they won't take them. I printed some off and they turned them down then I found out the same thing happened to my mother in law a month ago. Personally, I think it is bad customer relations and just makes the customer mad for a few bucks. I'll start off with the good, they have great wings. We got them extra crispy and plain so we could dip them ourselves in the sauce. Some of the best wings I've had in awhile. Now the bad, there pizza just isn't good. The sauce is super sweet which I personally hate, but I know some people love. Our pizza was also over cooked. I liked the pepperoni's. I won't be back I'll be checking out one of the other hundreds of other pizza places in Lockport that are nicer to their customers and don't have sweet sauce. read more

My favorite pizza hands down!! The crust has a nice crispy grilled edge, the sauce is nice n sweet, the cheese is perfect, and that crispy cup n char pepperoni on top.....I could eat this pizza everyday. You can order a small which is half a pizza - this is pretty awesome because it's perfect for like 2-3 people. They also have pizza by slice for only a dollar - such a steal! read more

I literally just got home about 3 minutes ago. Just moved to Lockport and have been told by many people we have to try pizza oven. We ordered a large cheese pizza and single order of wings medium. When we got home the wings were dry and had barely any sauce on them. They looked like plain wings. The pizza was not cooked all the way through and was extremely soggy in the middle. I had to put the pizza in my oven at home so that we could actually eat it, as well as add the wing sauce I had in the fridge to the wings we ordered. We will never go here again. Do not go here, I don't care how long they have been in business, clearly they have fell off. Try a different pizza place in Lockport. read more

We LOVE the Pizza Oven! We actually heard about this place at the Transit Drive In and decided to give it a try. It has quickly become our favorite pizza in WNY! The sauce is very sweet. If you don't like sweeter sauces, this may not be for you. The crust is relatively thin and always cooked so perfectly. Crispy pepperoni and well done cheese. We're in love. We've also tried chicken wings which were delicious! So glad we found this place!! read more

I work here this shits the bomb man. We got some super good sweet sauce. The pepperoni is amazing. The wings are to die for. The cheese filled breadsticks !! Boyyyyy and let me not get started about how good their chicken fingers are. Especially with the homemade blue cheese read more

My favorite pizza! I need to eat here every time I'm home. The wings are so tasty and the hot sauce they cook them in is the best. The pizza sauce they use is sweet sauce and very unique, something you can't find everywhere. If you are in the Buffalo area drive in to Lockport to try this hidden gem! read more

The best pizza!! Try and pick one up every time I'm in town to take back to MI with me. No one is MI understands what sweet sauce is. Just a side note: parking can be a nightmare but it's worth the hassle read more

Pizza oven is my favorite place to get pizza in Lockport. The sweet sauce they use is a rare find, not many pizza places have sweet sauce. I also love how thin the pizza is and the cup pepperoni. The pizza is always slightly burned around the edges which makes for a perfect crunch. The menu is not fancy but if you're just looking for a good slice of pizza it will do the job. We also love getting the honey garlic wing sauce, perfect combo of sweet and tangy. read more

Maybe the second time is a charm. Just this week we gave Pizza Oven a try, and it tasted pretty good. The first time we had it, back in January, the sauce was just too sweet and seemed a mismatch with the cheese and the rest of what constitutes pizza. This time the sweetness and understated. It was still there but didn't bully its way to the top of your taste buds. So we are sold on this pizza and will no doubt try it again. All the positives of the original review still apply, so I can endorse getting this pizza. And if you have a Lockport address (and maybe otherwise if you get the flyer), the Lockport Savings Magazine always seems to have coupons, including quite a few $1 off any large pizza. That drops the price to $11.25 for a plain cheese pizza, with toppings costing $1.85. read more

This is the best pizza I have ever tasted. I live in Buffalo but visited my father in Lockport every weekend when I was a child. We would get pizza oven pizza all the time, for every birthday party and just simply because I would come there on the weekends. He has moved from Lockport over 27 years ago but I still have to come to Lockport every once in awhile just to get that pizza. Now my kids absolutely love it and I try to go once every few months to get a sheet and bring it home. It's a taste you will never forget and I'm so happy they've kept it the same all these years. You will not be disappointed. And gor me, its definitely worth the 45 minute drive! read more
