They have entire vegan menu, upon request. The pizza was phenomenal. The ricotta on top was so good. We are are good eaters and one pizza is enough for two people. We got two because we wanted to try more than one, and we took half of each one home. It was great leftover, too. Best vegan pizza I've ever had.
I'll start with the good... I really LOVED the salad and the flavors of everything worked really well together. There was also no shortage of dressing which was nice! The pizza was good as well and I usually don't like a thinner crust but it allowed me to eat more! We tried the Calabrian crunch and the cacio e pepe and both were worth it. The homemade blue cheese was really good too but you don't need it because the pizzas have a lot of flavor. The staff was very friendly and good with water refills. The downside is that the place is small are you are right on top of other tables that you can barely hold a conversation, the set up is strange with ordering and then making sure you get a seat to eat once it's ready, and not knowing how to get a box once you are ready to go because you don't have a designated server and just hope someone walks by to get their attention. I really would like to give 3.5 because it's also a bit pricey but it's def worth more than 3 stars so it gets a 4!
This place is busy and when I say busy, I'm talking about a good 45min wait type of busy. But you know what, it's totally worth the wait. You order at the counter and they will bring your food/drinks to you. I love the open kitchen concept, and it's always a joy to watch fresh pizza being made. Would definitely come back Chopped salad- easily can serve 3 people. If I didn't want pizza, I would definitely just come here for the salad and wine itself. Mushroom pizza- nice thin crust and delicious flavor profile. Cacio e Pepe- a ricotta top pizza that tastes really amazing.
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.
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.
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!
I've tried MANY pizzas in my life-- those in NY and California. BUT NOTHING TOPS PIZZERIA FLORIAN'S CALABRIAN CRUNCH. I've never had such exceptional pizza in my life. Please order the 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.
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.
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.
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!
Great place for coal fired pizza! Innovative toppings and nice atmosphere. Had a late lunch with my daughter after shopping It won't disappoint
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.
My friend brought the Cacio e Pepe as her favorite local pie to our pizza party, and it hit all the right notes! Salty and peppery, with that nutty, creamy flavor. She remembered to order it mid-afternoon (thankfully) because otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to get one close to party time. It's pretty clear why this pizzeria has such a great reputation! read more
This place was average for me so 3 stars it is! Wish I could do maybe 3.5. My 2 major complaints are the fact that there are no signs outside to tell you where this place is. You have to actually go inside the small vestibule area where prima oliva is to see the carpet for pizzeria Florian. I get that they are so busy that they don't need signs but I felt like it was very odd. Also the cleanliness of the floors was a bit of a turn off. Again, I understand they're really busy and just trying to seat people but if you are wiping the tables it would help to sweep the floors too. With all of that aside I actually REALLY loved the pizza! Of course I order the top choices- Calabrian crunch and the cacio e Pepe. Both were absolutely amazing, full of flavor and delicious crisp of the crust. One of the best pizzas in the area, of this style (not traditional Buffalo). The chopped salad was also good and had a great dressing that definitely tasted like a good quality balsamic vinegar. I would highly recommend both for future guests! Staff are fantastic and really work hard to get everyone's orders taken and food out as quickly as possible! read more

Yeah this pizza SLAPS I think the best is the Calabrian crunch We also liked the vodka sauce pizza too We were sadly a little underwhelmed by the margarita, the mushroom, and the cacio e pepe But honestly the best part of this place is their vanilla cannoli - best cannoli I have ever had in my life read more

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. read more
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! read more

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! read more
This was our first time trying this establishment. We were very pleased with how incredibly delicious the food was. We are always on the lookout for new restaurants to try out. Well Pizzeria Florian didn't disappoint. We tried several of the pizzas to find out perfect one. We had the classic cheese, mushroom, cacio e pepe, the Amanda, citrus and herb, margherita and the sausage and fennel. Every pizza had its own flavor profile and every pizza was made to perfection. We were thoroughly impressed. My favorite was the mushroom. It had me saying "wow that was delicious" till the next day and beyond. Congratulations on a great formula for success. Until next time. read more
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! read more

Y'all I cannot even begin to express how incredible of a place Pizzeria Florian is. They have found the balance of a beautiful elevated space with a casual atmosphere that is approachable, warm and inviting. Everything design wise has incredible attention to detail with my favorite being the diner type feel by the front windows. Service wise everyone was incredibly nice. Walking in you're seated and once you decide what you want you head back up to the counter to order. The team came around and offered water and brought out any beverages ordered. Finally y'all, the FOOD. My shoulders could not stop dancing with excitement as every item came out. We started with Small Plate no. 2 which was beets and stracciatella cheese. Fantastic. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe pizza. And y'all I am not a white pizza girl but my world was truly changed. Absolutely rocked. To top the night off we had the cannolis. Holy smokes y'all. The shell was perfectly crunchy. The filling had all the right flavors. And let me tell you I'm a cannoli purest but the chocolate one was fantastic. Do yourselves a favor and get there immediately and tell everyone you know. read more
From the founder of Jay's Artisan Pizza, we've been anticipating this for months, and we made it in for their opening night. You'll quickly notice that Pizza Florian already has its own identity. Different oven, different crust & toppings, but same affinity for making great pizza. Started with olives and chopped salad, both great. It was a make your mouth happy salad. For pizzas we had Margherita and Cacio e Pepe. Both were good, but the Cacio is what would bring me back. Crust is like a delicious focaccia in a thin way. I'm a huge ricotta fan, and the carefully placed ricotta made each bite perfect. We got one of each cannolis to go, and they were wonderful too. Pizza preparation and oven are on full display, highlighting the hustle and care the team has with their craft. Staff were attentive, kind and dedicated to making the experience great. If you're a pizza aficionado, this is a must visit. read more

We arrived to Pizzeria Florian at 3:59pm and were the first group seated with a line behind us. The entire staff was pleasant and the food was delicious! We started with the chopped salad which appears to be their version of an antipasto salad, followed by 2 pizzas. We had a hard time choosing which to order, as they all sound delectable. We went with the Calabrian Crunch which was a combination of sweet and spicy and the Mushroom which was a beautiful combination of garlicky, cheesy greatness. Highly recommend! read more
Staff was friendly and the environment is very cozy and beautifully decorated. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends. This is the best wood fired pizza that I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and packed with layers of flavor. We ordered the kale Caesar and the Cacio e Pepe pizza and added mushrooms. Absolutely delicious! I am already planning my return back! read more

This isn't La Nova or Just Pizza. Pizza is going to be pricier, but it's worth every penny, and then some. And the reason it's pricey is the high-end ingredients and best in class technique / artistry. The dough / crust is some of the best I've ever had. The pies aren't greasy but are still full of flavor. And because of that, you can eat a ton of it and not feel bogged down or bloated. It's tough to not eat the entire pie. The vibe when you dine-in is electric and hip, as you get a buzz from the staff in the open kitchen and front of house staff that is firing on all cylinders, while getting slammed by the always present crowd. In my experience, they are always busy. It's a great gem to have in my town and I always look for a night where we're too lazy to cook so we can grab a pie and a Kale Caeser, to go. The Calabrian Crunch pie has been an issue because since we found it, we basically stopped trying any of the other options. It's soooooo good and checks off a ton of boxes. Pictured are a Margherita and Cacia E Pepe. read more
