The pizza is very good for this local joint. It's near my work so it's super accessible off of Niagara Street. Parking is on the street so just be careful. Service was pretty quick. I appreciate the hard work of those making my food. The ambiance is low key and nothing fancy but to me those are the best pizza joints. Be sure to check them out. read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - Front entrance off of Niagara Street - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Ordered a pie for delivery and waited over an hour to find out they delivered the pizza to a completely wrong address and basically told me tuff shit. I called to get a refund and they hung up on me. read more

Lunch special is 2 large slices + a soda. Spicy pepperoni and a slightly tart sauce. Very decent pizza for the area.

We ordered off of Uber eats and food was a bit delayed but worth the wait. We wanted to try Buffalo style pizza and it was very delicious though a bit heavy. We ordered their deal of an one topping pizza with 20 wings. Wings were a great flavor lots of topping of sausage on the pizza, yum! read more

**Absolutely the Worst Experience Ever** I had high hopes for this place based on a recommendation, but it turned out to be a disaster from start to finish. First, our scheduled delivery was delayed by an entire hour, completely ruining our event. When we called to check on the order, the employee we spoke with had an unhelpful attitude, basically saying, "We're sorry, but get over it." We then spoke with someone claiming to be the owner or co-owner, but unfortunately, their attitude wasn't any better. We weren't even asking for a refund--just a reasonable explanation and better customer service. Instead, they falsely claimed the employee responsible had been fired, which came across as both unprofessional and disingenuous. As for the food, it was just as disappointing. When it finally arrived, the delivery driver was just as indifferent, despite the fact that we had prepaid a $7 tip. The pizza itself was a mess--burnt on the bottom, poorly assembled, and clearly rushed. Several guests at our event commented on how bad it looked and tasted. It was bland and didn't come close to the quality of the great pizza we're used to here in Buffalo. Because I am fair, something this place isn't accustomed to or practice, the wings were really good and made the way I asked. However, the bad experience overshadowed how good they wings were. Save your time and money. There are far better places to eat in Buffalo with better service. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy! Very disappointing. read more

Ricotta's pizza pies are a respectable choice in this city of great pizzas. The subs are worthy and if you say you want your sub dry so you can use your own mayonnaise you will get a passionate lecture about the great mayonnaise they use in their subs. And it's true, the mayonnaise they use is thick and delicious - get the subs with mayonnaise. And take their advice on anything they offer. I seriously trust their decisions on all things pizzaria. Don't be out by the funkiness of the front room, grab some take out for Netflixing and chilling and you'll be happy. read more

Place is a joke.. I ordered 10 wings and a small pizza.They said thirty minutes I came after forty five minutes.. The pizza was not even made yet or the wings.The one worker laughed and said to the other.I thought you took the order and the other worker said no you did and then they both laughed.. Obviously , they were stoned out of their bejesus... And then you know what I did?I was laughing as I left the restaurant and went somewhere else. read more

In town for Monday night raw spent 135$ the pizza is terrible bland I ordered 20 mild wings and got these plain wings and was told by the manager that she sauced them herself Terrible customer service will never order from this place again and I don't recommend you do either read more

I ordered a pizza tonight from door dash. I was skeptical because the yelp reviews were 3.7. But I still gave it a try. I ordered a small cheese pizza with extra sauce and added pepperoni. Pizza was excellent! Sauce flavor was great, pepperoni was thick cut and lots of it, the bread was perfectly fluffy and most of all I loved the pizza to crust ratio. I hate when there is too much crust. Underrated pizza! read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - Small Cheese Pizza 12 Round With pepperoni and extra sauce - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Very slow. Lots of employees sitting around. Our order took an extra 25 minutes and it was not busy

My favorite pizza place, 100% recommended if you're near here. The food is unbelievably good.

Have had both the pizza and salads here. Both are excellent. Pizza is exactly what you would expect from a buffalo pizza shop. Wings are cooked very well- has a nice crisp- sauce is just the right amount. Salads are generously portioned and use high quality ingredients. The chicken finger salad is one of the best I've had. Service is always quick and orders are ready when promised. Delivery service is great too. read more

5 stars again. Ricotta's wings when they are on their game are my favorite in the city. Pizza is underrated as well. Great no frills food. read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - Slice, 5 medium wings, 5 medium lemon pepper wings. - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I always forget about this place despite being a few blocks away. I had a rotten day and wanted some pizza. I was looking at the usual downtown suspects and gave up because it's SO expensive. Then I remembered Ricotta's. You can't beat their prices!!! I think delivery was $3 and the lady who delivered it was very nice. I got the loaded pizza which is ANY 6 toppings for $17!! Veggie pizza is my fav so I loaded it up. So many toppings it's heavy and so delicious. The sauce is the perfect amount of sweet and herbs. I also got a single order of wings which they will do in 2 different sauce. Which is AWESOME in my book. Got mango habanero and teriyaki. They were the size of a pterodactyl wing! Love me some fried mushrooms too, bummer they didn't come with a dipping sauce. Mac salad, your standard but I was craving it. I will remember this place from now on. read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - 6 topping loaded pizza. Veggie my fav. - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

So I was navigating Dave Portnoy of Barstool "One Bite" app which is an app cultivated around finding the best pizza around you and this place had an 8.7 in regards to their pizza. If you're familiar with Dave's pizza reviews, his typically land in the mid-to-high 7's so whoever reviewed the pizza at Ricotta's would receive a "rookie score" as David politely puts it. But I was enticed either way now. The place isn't much inside but it's a great place to grab a slice and go about your day. So I ordered two pep and cheese slices and they were fresh. They even had 5 wings which didn't look quite fresh but if you're feeling extra hungry, it's a pretty sweet deal. So I got my pizza, "one bite, everyone knows the rules," and wow, this is great pizza. The sauce was tangy and sweet and their was very little flop to it. The ingredients were superior to local pizza places in the area and now that I know its not too far from my apartment, I'll be back for more. read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

We've sampled pizza up and down the East Coast and we really know pizza! New Jersey pizza, New York pizza, Chicago pizza (via UNO's), the Papa John's chain, it goes on and on in big cities and small towns. On a recent visit to Bflo we Airbnb'ed near Ricotta's, and ordered one with fresh tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms. It was a revelation, unique to Bflo, unlike any other style of pizza and perfect in it's composition. The crust of a Ricotta's Bflo pizza is not as thin as a NY pizza, but it is just right on its own terms. The sauce, the cheese, the doneness of the crust, we've been talking about it to everyone. Bflo is not just about wings! We ordered two more during our stay, and froze one to take with us on the next leg of our journey. It's worth a trip over to Niagara St. for a Ricotta's pizza. We're going to miss it when we finally get back to Florida. read more

Better wings than Franco's, better pizza than La Nova and better service than both. Ricotta's doesn't do anything "The Best" but it does everything above average. To me, that is the hallmark of an elite Buffalo pizza establishment. If you haven't tried Ricottas, make it your next pizza and wing destination, trust a fat guy who has eaten way too much Buffalo food in his life. read more

We got a large pizza for lunch to share and it didn't take long for it to be ready. We all enjoyed it. It was hot and very tasty. It was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of ingredients on it. The price wasn't bad either. This will be my go to for pizza. read more

Great service very clean establishment good food Pizza very good quality. Very friendly establishment highly recommend read more

Service was amazing, the staff was great!! Im from out of town but i would recommend them to anyone. the wings were top notch !!

The food is great but the driver was rude, when my bf asked for cash back he gave him an attitude n mumbled something under his breath, and then when he dropped our sodas back off bc they were forgotten, he called me said they're on the steps outside and hung up on me! How unprofessional I tried saying thank u n everything smh! But again food is great ! read more

Not a bad slice at all! They always have slices ready to go. Swing by here for an affordable lunch special

The staff was super friendly and waited for me to arrive, even after closing but per their 45 minute wait time which they called to inform me the order would be behind. The pizza and wings were really good and so worth the experience since we drove in from NC to celebrate my mother's birthday (this was the only thing she wanted to eat). Thank you to AnnMarie for being patient and understanding. You're amazing for wishing my mom a Happy Birthday from the staff. I will definitely be back. As promised. read more

Definitely have the best employees in Western New York!! They are always incredibly accommodating, friendly, gracious, and thankful. From the person who take your order to the person who delivers it. Their pizza is always excellent. They use very fresh ingredients and are generous... nice thick pepperoni too. For some reason on this particular occasion, their wings were not as good as usual. I think the oil may have needed to be changed, but definitely impacted the taste. You must try... You can almost taste the love. read more

Front of the house Staff seemed like they weren't very interested in taking the order or even being there - but in all fairness , it was a Sunday night after 9pm. They literally answered the phone to tell someone they were closed , lol. Yelp seemed to think they were open until 11pm? The pizzas were fine ( pepperoni & cheese , chicken & broccoli ) - the right temp , NOT burned or undercooked, pizza crust here is fairly thick. Tables and seating areas were clean and tidy :) Wish they had a medium size .... small or large options only ? read more

Ricotta's Pizza Niagara - Chicken & broccoli pizza 1.21.2018 - Pizza Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Ah man, sadly this pizza was a bit of a disappointment. The cheese and pep toppings themselves were tasty BUT--and this is a big but for pizza--the sauce was totally flavorless. And the crust sort of reminded me of Pizza Hut, which I guess could be a good thing in some people's books but is definitely not in mine. Mostly I just wanted some flavor to the sauce--some sweetness, some zing, some anything. read more

Forever on a pizza hunt, this place is your quintessential Buffalo type of pizza. Medium crust, sweet sauce, lighter (but not skimpy) on the cheese, and fresh toppings. I do like it a little crispier, so I think another minute or two in the oven, it would have been perfect but that could have been just pulling it out early. It was refreshing to see a special and not pay $50 for a weeknight dinner, so a Large Cheese & 1 topping plus 20 wings comes out to $33. The wings were good, they were crispy as ordered but I should have asked for a little extra sauce. Overall, I'd come back for sure. They have pit wings too, which I'll try next time! Expect another review, because Ricotta's is on my keep list! read more

So their regular pizza and wings are mediocre at best, but the chicken finger pizza is absolutely killer. Hours are a bit inconsistent but the delivery drivers are always super nice and within the quoted times. It's a solid go to on nights I don't feel like cooking. read more

Hour 45 wait from when order was placed, we're 2 blocks from them. Had to call just to see what the ETA was after an hour. First they say were busy/short handed. When the delivery guy gets here he says his breaks are locking up on his truck and tells me to fix it when I tell him we should get a discount for the wait instead of him finding a profession he can properly perform in. I wouldn't even be writing this if the food was fresh. Pizza is room temperature only one set of 50 wings we got were warm the rest are cold. Thanks for getting us for $80 and here was our experience. read more

Decent pizza wasn't cooked enough. But it had potential. Sometimes delivery isn't the best way.

Chicken finger pizza was 6/10. Wings were ok but I'd like to try fresh as we had to wait for awhile before we started to eat them.

First, the pizza was amazing. Tasted fantastic, and delivered piping hot! I have to say that they went above and beyond, getting our large order made and delivered so quickly. read more

I discovered Ricotta's through a friend of mine. It is the go-to place for her when ordering a pizza, so on a cold winter night I decided to ditch my normal pizza joint and try Ricotta's. So glad I did! The pizza was delicious and at a great price too! I've orderd from them a few times now, always a pizza with veggie toppings, so I cannot comment on anything meat related, but everytime I have ordered, the pizza is made exactly to order and arrives within the time frame specified at the order. The pizza crust itself has a sweet note to it which really pairs well with the sauce and toppings. It is crispy on the bottom yet fluffy and chewy on the inside. The perfect balance of crunch and chew in my opinion. The sauce is mild but tasty. I usually order mine "well done, " so the outside crust gets nice and toasted. They do offer some speciality pizzas, subs, wings etc, and from looking at the menu online, their prices beat everyone in the area. I will definitely be ordering from them again and again. read more

What horrible service, wait an hour for a pick up only to realize they have not started the order yet, reason?? Very busy, but no body was there, no food was being made for potential pick ups, read more

They gave my son the wrong order. Then refused to offer a partial refund, or credit towards another order. Basically stole $60.00 because they don't know how to give the right order. Then had the nerve to say it was my sons fault??? Place is dirty, food is nasty, and they WILL rip you off. Don't recommend. read more

Let me start off by saying Buffalo style pizza isn't my favorite. Personally, I prefer a less greasy, thinner crust pizza. With that being said, Ricotta's has to be my favorite "Buffalo style" pizza. The crust is comparable in thickness to Mister Pizza but more crisp on the bottom. There was definitely less grease than La Nova. A few slices were lacking cheese, similar to the cheese found at Just Pizza. Not the sweetest sauce in buffalo, which is a good thing. The prices were cheaper than all three of those competitors too. I contemplated giving 5 stars for a long tine. But I just haven't experienced enough pizza in Buffalo to say that it is the BEST pizza. Once I try a few more spots on my list I'll come back for comparison. read more

Had a very tasty Sicilian double risen slice here. Economical and delicious, perfect for a quick bite.

Great pizza and great wings! I would not hesitate to to recommend this place to anyone!

Yeah man... this is what I was looking for! Real good NY pizza!! THIS is your Neighborhood pizza joint. I'll be coming back there next time I'm in town, definitely! read more
