Bleu cheese is a must!!
Kayla K.

Stopped by Pizza Florian in East Aurora, and wow, it did not disappoint. We ordered the Calabrian Crunch pizza, and it was easily one of the best pies I've had in WNY. The crust had that perfect wood-fired char while still being soft and chewy in the middle. The layers of flavor were incredible--the crispy pepperoni, melty cheese, and just the right kick from the Calabrian crunch gave every bite a punch of spice and smokiness without being overwhelming. We also tried the cannolis for dessert, and they were the perfect finish. The shells were crisp, the filling was smooth and creamy, and they had just the right level of sweetness. You can tell everything here is made with care and attention to detail. Between the cozy East Aurora atmosphere and the quality of the food, Pizza Florian is a spot I'll absolutely be coming back to. If you're a pizza lover (or just love good food in general), this place is a must-try.

Original Cannoli - Cherry and pistachio
Erin H.

This pizzeria has been ranked in the top 50 pizzas two years in a row - and it's clear to see why. The bright, eclectic space felt like a new age Italian pizzeria. We were seated at a two top, and listened to the great music selection under the cozy table top lights. The kitchen is open, and the staff moves around in a well rehearsed dance. The ambiance led us up to the best pizza we have ever eaten. We were immediately blown away. It's not often you get a thin crust pizza that can hold its own once sauce and toppings are applied. The thin, crispy crusts stands to attention when pulled away from the safety of the rest of the pizza. The post shift pizza was a classic - red sauce, gooey mozzarella, onions, and spicy cherry peppers. This pizza comes with a side of home made blue cheese dressing, which was perfect to ease the spice of the peppers and to dip the perfectly cooked crust. We also got the mushroom pizza which had a plethora of umami mushrooms, sweet carmelized onion, mozzarella cheese, and finished with a delicious drizzle of truffle oil. To my surprise, this white pizza didn't have a base sauce! It was packed with umami goodness, and I could have eaten the whole thing. Along with the delicious pizzas, Pizzeria Florian also has some great starters and desserts. We started with the olives, these were buttery, citrusy, and had a depth of flavor that was impressive for a vessel as small as an olive! We also sampled some cannoli - and all I can say is order one of each flavor. It's worth it. All in all, I can't wait to come back. This was such a treat. I had heard great things, but getting to try everything myself was even better than I could have imagined.

Chopped salad
Ashley K.

Brought another friend here. Had the same, Calabrian crunch pizza and chopped salad. She loved it! We also went on a Wednesday and wine was 1/2 off all bottles!

Calabrian Crunch

100/10. I absolutely love this place. Great customer service and GREAT food! The quality, flavor, and care in every detail makes it worth every penny. Whenever friends or family are in town, this is the first place I recommend and it never disappoints. The chill, welcoming ambiance makes it just as perfect for a casual night.

Pizzeria Florian, Artisan Pizza on Main St in East Aurora. Limited hours, finally found time to check it out. Chopped salad was unique and very fresh and flavorful. Unique topping combinations on the menu. Went with a the Post Shift red sauce and the Mushroom white pizza. Both were very good. Honestly it was good but pretty pricey. Hipster pricing I anticipated. Place was packed but food came out quick. Comfortable dining room with open Kitchen. Employees were all super friendly. Limited non alcoholic beverage selection Coke or Sprite glass bottles. Won't be our regular pizza place but would go back.

Calabrian Crunch Pizza

What an amazing and delicious experience of pizza! So happy we came out for lunch and glad it wasn't too busy to get a seat. Such unique and amazing flavors. Like I've never had before. They put a lot of effort making this food special. Great ambience and clean bathrooms as well. Overall great visit and would recommend highly.

Pizza Florian has the best pizza around! There I said it. Not your typical Buffalo style pizza, Pizza Florian offers pizza that has a thinner crust in nature and offers outside the box unique flavor combinations. I have been there several times and they do not disappoint. If you dine in the ambiance is casual and cozy. And if you need to do takeout the online ordering system is very easy to navigate and very efficient. Newer to EA this place is a must try!

Cacio e Pepe and Classic Cheese with Pepperoni
Melissa M.

We finally made it out to Pizzeria Florien, and I'm so glad. The pizza is fantastic, and the service was exceptional. Everyone was so friendly. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe pizza and the Classic Cheese pizza (with added pepperoni). They were cooked perfectly and so light and airy. We started with a chopped salad that was tasty, too. I can't wait to come back. I hope they open in the Northtowns.

Margarita like NYC coal fired !!!
Melissa B.

Great place for coal fired pizza! Innovative toppings and nice atmosphere. Had a late lunch with my daughter after shopping It won't disappoint

Always a delicious pizza! One of the best in East Aurora! Unique and full of flavor! Parking on the street can be tricky, recommend parking lot in the back.

Huge bowl of olives
Susan S.

We had been hearing good things about this place for a while, and we were not disappointed. If you are a wood-fired pizza fan, you are in for a treat at Pizzeria Florian. It's a counter service place, so go in and ask for a table and menus, then go up and order and pay. They'll bring your items to you when they are ready. I was surprised at the size of the bowl of olives. I mean, for $7 you expect maybe 20 olives. This was a HUGE bowl, with fennel pollen, chili, and some other stuff. Lovely taste, spicy at times, but a delightful appetizer. Then the pizza. We had the Cacio e Pepe, which is apparently the #1 "white" pizza. It is peppery, as the name implies, and the crust.... I daydream about the crust. It was absolutely perfect. I will definitely go back to try some other pizzas. The decor seems a bit bland for a pizza place. Very demure, unassuming, nondescript in every way, but it doesn't take away from the AMAZING pizza. You have to go!

What is this Wizardry?!? One bite has a mouthfeel like it's a crispy sweet cereal while it reconciles that same bite that has your tastebuds dancing a spicy number; and then you take another bite and it immediately transports you directly to an outdoor kitchen table in the Amalfi Coast of Italy tasting a piece of crusty bread seasoned with cured meat and fresh vegetables from the garden five feet from where you sit. This pizza walks a fine line between black magic and miraculous but I cannot recommend it enough. Get to Pizzeria Florio!

Mushroom pizza
Heather A.

Delicious pizza, beyond compare! We are pleasantly surprised every single time! We've had the mushroom pizza and the Cacio e Pepe which is topped with ricotta and immaculate. Don't sleep on the chopped salad - it's huge and also fantastic! (Make sure you order once you get to the restaurant, our first time we waited and realized it's an order at the cashier place) would love to see them add some sort of seltzer to the menu!

Wallenwein's Hotel - Fish fry- during lent

I use my wifely powers of persuasion to convince my husband to stop in for lunch at Wallenwein's…read moreHotel on Friday. I'm so glad I did! We arrived at 11:55 AM. The sign on the door said they open at noon. So we settled into a park bench at the corner and watched people strolling in the sunshine until they open the doors. One very energetic waitress was covering all three rooms. She was quick to apologize for any delay. My iced tea came up very rapidly, and I took a few minutes to look over the entire menu. Despite all the enticing mini items, I ordered what I had been craving: the beer battered fish fry with all the sides. It did not disappoint. I have had a fish fry or two in my life, and I'm not gonna argue with anyone. Wallenwein's is my new favorite fish fry. There's plenty of food to choose from. Salads, soups, sandwiches, and wraps, pizzas, and wings. Everything that we have tried has been absolutely delicious! I love the primitive antique vibe going on in this 19th century historically accurate tavern.

This place is an institution I'm told and glad I tried it out. It's basically a tavern with bar…read morefood and they have their famous Friday fish fry but I was a day too early for that so I tried the beef on Weck which is a very traditional local dish. It was good but I'm a Chicagoan so I have to say I prefer the Italian beef sandwiches over this. Beef on weck is more of a sliced beef served on a salted kimmelweck roll which has salt and caraway seeds and prepared horseradish on the side. Yes it was good and I'd probably get it again but if you grew up around here, it's a local fave. The place is like old rustic and had a nice vibe to it. Great service too!

I keep seeing Riley's pop up on Seize the Deal, so I grabbed another voucher since we're always…read morenext door at the rink for sports (and usually making a stop at BEB for scones). Not going to lie, it's nearly impossible to sit through a lacrosse game while smelling burgers from this place the entire time. We came by on a Sunday and took advantage of their kids' meal special: $5 including a drink, which is a really solid deal. We ordered burgers (split with my fellow burger lover) and chicken fingers for two of the kids, and the food definitely hit the spot after a long day when everyone was starving. The burgers were decent, though I would have loved slightly larger patties and a few more topping option. I'm all about an over-the-top handheld, so maybe that's just me. My only real disappointment was the fry portion size; I must have been spoiled on my first visit when my meal came with an overload of fries. One of my favorite features is the patio, especially during nicer weather. Service was good, and I appreciated the little outdoor station stocked with condiments and water, which was a thoughtful touch for patio diners. Overall, it's a convenient spot to grab a casual meal before or after games, especially if you're already at the rink.

First visit today. We frequent East Aurora often, not sure why we haven't stopped before. Glad we…read morefinally did. The food was great. We started with stuffed banana peppers. They had a nice kick. My husband had chicken parmesan and I had chicken piccata. Each came with soup or salad. Servings were generous. Personally though I would have preferred a couple smaller pieces of chicken which probably would have been more tender. Tara was our server. She was wonderful. She kept checking in and making sure we didn't need anything. I love seeing old buildings repurposed.

Riley Street Station - Undercooked - couldn't pick up a slice without it falling apart. It was okay flavor, would describe as a saucy, not-sweet sauce pizza.
