    Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
    Daviyion J.

    Stopped in while doing laundry and was hankering for something sweet and opted for the Peanut butter chocolate cake ($6), per the staffers recommendation. It was in a cooler so I let it warm up a bit and it was really good. well made, and generously sliced.

    Cute inside Restaurant

    OMG! I've been here before, but it's been quite a while. The pizza we had was absolutely the best! Such a cute place too! Try, it will not be disappointed

    I went to Romeo and Juliet's café to get some baked goods. This is the first time I've been in there to actually buy some thing. At the Italian festival, I had stopped by their stand to get some things and I was very impressed with the Napoleon, the peanut butter bomb, and my mother loved the eclair. My son, although at the festival had a tiramisu and thought it was really bad. I figured it was probably just cause it was sitting outside For so long and maybe they made too many of them and they weren't going or something? But, I bought a $9.00, tiramisu today and was so excited to give it to my son, and he was very excited to eat it. He took one bite of it, it seemed OK at first, and then he just blurted out how disgusting it was. He actually had to spit it out. I told him it can't be that bad and I don't even like tiramisu, but I was willing to take a bite to try it. I took a bite and all seemed fine at first, but then once you swallow, oh my God, disgusting !! It tasted like straight up vomit ! I kid you not, and I am not exaggerating, it tasted like puke !! Why pay nine dollars for vomit when you can get it free at home ? So that was a waste of money and I will never buy tiramisu from there again. BUT, again, I bought the Napoleon, the peanut butter bomb, two eclairs and a piece of carrot cake. Everything was delicious ! I will definitely go back and try more things because everything was looking so good but like I said, I will never buy tiramisu again. The cookies looked so good, the dining area smelled good. I would like to go and get some food from there too. other than just dessert. I wonder if there is anything not in the store, that they can make concerning Italian desserts. There's something I want so bad that I can't seem to find and I don't even know what it's called. I ended up spending $39 even, for the two eclairs, the peanut butter bomb, the Napoleon, the carrot cake and the $9 horrible tiramisu . That's not too too bad, but all bakeries are a bit expensive.

    Margherita Pizza
    Mike H.

    I've had a hankering for this for a while now. Back around 2000, I used to live around the corner and would go get the Quattro Formaggi for $5 special once a week. Well, I didn't feel like driving so we got DoorDash from Hertel Ave all the way to Sloan. Got my fav pizza and also we added a Margherita too and the whole family ate it for rhe next 2 days. Wasn't piping hot by the time it was delivered but that's not a short drive so the pics don't do it justice. Taste was awesome and I know they have some incredible desserts too. I've also been to the Sheridan Drive (near Evans) location and love their food & service as well. Highly recommended trying this place.

    Huge Portion sizes decent prices friendly service This place is a hidden gem. Meatballs were really good.

    Scrumptious chicken marsala
    Jim G.

    Happy birthday to me! I didn't have to pay and I had the special Chicken Marsala with risotto. Cooked perfectly, with plenty of mushrooms. And then, for dessert, cannoli. This is no ordinary canoli. It's magnifico!

    Great selection of cookies! @rjcaffe

    If this restaurant was on my corner I would be there constantly! It's one of these places that has great food and a great ambiance. Where you want to sit with friends and savor your food and drinks winter or summer , people watch everyone on Hertel Ave and just enjoy life. So whenever we have friends from out of town we take them there. They make delicious brick oven pizza. The crust is light and crispy without leaving you feeling like you ate air pizza. The sauce is just right , not too sweet or too salty. So you aren't thirsty all day long!! Their bruschetta is that perfect sweet fresh tomato blend. Crusty bread without the sharp edges that cut the roof of your mouth! And everyone wants the last piece ,looking at it but trying to be polite. Not one bad bite. Their dessert case.... well for me the reason to eat a meal is to get to dessert. I simply can't just have dessert after dinner but I almost always take a box of goodies home for later. The cassata cake, the cannolis the cookies and those little tiny pies filled with something like cannoli filling.... oh so good. I don't think you can pick anything you won't like. At least I haven't found anything yet. There are several locations with hours that you should look up. If you can eat in , Hertel Ave is just such fun with the windows or the outdoor seats. Otherwise take it home!!! @rjcaffe

    I love this pizza. There was hot pepper in the sauce and I loved it. Will def get againread more

    I'm always on the lookout, keeping my ear to the ground, for great pizza places in Buffalo…read more Although sometimes, I just want to try some place new. I had heard good things about Naked City Pizza, so I decided to take a break from my usual spots and give them a try and overall, I am very pleased! I called around 4:45pm on a Saturday and a gentleman took my order. He was courteous and friendly and said my order would be ready in 25-30 minutes. I arrived about 30 minutes later, easily finding a parking spot in their large parking lot, which is a mixture of pavement and dirt/gravel. Walking inside the shop, it's similar to most Buffalo pizza shops where it's relatively small and really about take-out, not for dining in. There were a few young guys working the counter and ovens, they were able to get me in and out quickly. From the limited time I was inside, the workers were friendly enough, they seemed to get along well. For dinner, I ordered a Quarter Sheet (6 slices) Steak and Three Cheese pizza but the gentleman who took my order over the phone put my order in as a Half Sheet (12 slices). They realized the mistake too late and gave me the Half Sheet for the Quarter Sheet price! I really do appreciate that, it's great customer service. I have half a pizza leftover for a quick dinner now! Naked City Pizza nails the traditional Buffalo-style with a doughier undercarriage and nice crispy, chewy crust. The dough was airy but it didn't seem as "heavy" as many other pizza places around Buffalo, but maybe I was just REALLY hungry. haha For their steak pizza, it seems like they use thicker pieces of steak, which was great, definitely felt more substantial. Most steak pizzas come topped with banana, hot, or sweet (bell/green) peppers, but Naked City uses roasted red peppers, which are sweet and have a more distinct flavor and softer texture - I was impressed, this paired VERY well with the other components! Along with them, there's also onions on top. The three cheeses used are cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, which of course are delicious. In addition to the roasted sweet peppers, the other component that I was surprised by was the white garlic sauce as the base. Steak pizzas around Buffalo vary from using a "hoagie oil/sauce" to just a huge variety of cheeses, no base sauce of any kind. I tend to stay away from white sauce on pizza as it's usually associated with garlic (I don't want my breath to be too... fragrant haha), but this wasn't too garlic-y, I didn't feel like I was "wearing it". I enjoyed the added creaminess the white sauce added to this pie. After six slices, I stopped myself and put the other half in the freezer. The six slices I had were delicious and filled me up nicely - The squares were cut nicely and they were plenty filling with tons of meat and cheese. I have a feeling these will reheat in the oven nicely. Looking at the prices, I was impressed too with how affordable Naked City Pizza is! All-in-all, I'm glad I gave Naked City Pizza a chance and had a great experience! The staff are friendly enough and quick, it's easy to get in and out quickly, and the pizza is traditional Buffalo-style so it's on the heartier end while being affordable. I look forward to ordering and trying a red sauce pizza from Naked City Pizza to see how sweet their sauce is.

    Pizza is so delicious. Great Italian style. Customer service is also very good!…read moreWill 100% be coming back.

    Wow. Hands down some of the best pizza we've had…read more We ordered the San Felice Pizza -- San Marzano tomatoes, house-made sausage, sweet and spicy peppers, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil -- and it was absolute perfection. The flavors don't compete... they melt together into one big, perfect masterpiece. The peppers leaned sweet (no real heat), which made them the ideal companion to the delicious sausage. And that sausage? Made in-house and seasoned beautifully, with the perfect amount of fennel -- enough to give it that classic Italian character without overpowering the pie. Perfection! The buffalo mozzarella added creamy richness, the basil kept everything bright, and the San Marzano tomatoes were clean and balanced. We love pizza in all its forms -- New York style and Napoli alike -- but there is something about the rustic goodness of true Neapolitan pizza that has a special place in my pizza-loving heart. That airy, soft center and char-kissed crust from the wood-fired oven is magic. The use of such fresh ingredients makes Forno Napoli my favorite pizza on NY so far - authentic and intentional. There is a lot of love and pride in everything from the handmade crust to all of the toppings. They also serve a garlic butter and cheese dipping sauce for the crust -- indulgent and completely unnecessary in the BEST possible way. That blistered crust dipped in that sauce? Unreal. The cheese? Yes, they have the most beautiful wheel of pecorino they hand grate from to make this happen. No green shaker bottles here! We met Felix, the owner, and he was incredibly welcoming. He has such great energy -- warm, engaging, and clearly passionate. You can tell he's the heartbeat behind the recipes and the success of the business. It feels personal. He made us want to share just how great our entire experience was and he certainly made us want to return. Our only regret? We were too full to try another pizza. Do not hesitate. This truly is a slice of heaven.

I'm a member of their rewards program and once in a while, they'll send me a coupon for $5 off, or a certain percentage off of my next order. So, when I get one of these rewards, I make sure to take advantage and order a pie! Shoutout to the staff as they're always friendly and courteous. I need to praise how open and honest they are, which was put on full display with a recent order. One Pie Pizza Co. bakes a truly authentic Buffalo-style pizza with an airy, doughy undercarriage, a balanced chewy, crispy crusty, plenty of mozzarella cheese and sweet red sauce with cup-n-char pepperoni, but I like my dough, the undercarriage, to be a bit more cooked, firm, crispy, so I've been requesting "extra crispy on the bottom/underneath" more recently. But the way One Pie Pizza Co. cooks their pizzas makes that request a little more difficult as they use a conveyor belt process, so when ordering online there are two "Special Instructions" options: LIGHT WELL DONE and WELL DONE (Dark, crispy crust with charred edges). I've been trying to figure out which of these options would offer the more firm, crispier dough I want, so I ended up talking to some of the staff working there and explained my conundrum. They were wonderful in hearing me out and suggesting how I should place my order to get what I am looking for. So, what's the way to get the dough more firm, crispy underneath? Order your pizza LIGHT WELL DONE and ask if they could put your pizza on top of the oven for 10 minutes before they put it into the oven to cook it! The dough might raise up a bit more, but it should help pre-heat, cook the dough a little bit more. Of course, nothing wrong with adding a note asking for extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. I've ordered a few times in 2026 and each time my order has been a QTR Sheet (six slice) cheese, pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers, and ricotta cheese pizza, LIGHT WELL DONE cook/extra crispy on the bottom, underneath. This is an excellent pizza, with tons of toppings on each slice and plenty of ricotta cheese ladled on top. Drizzle a little hot honey to add a little sweet kick. This pizza never fails to leave me happy and full. I will say, their pizza might be on the pricier end in Buffalo, but it's worth it. One Pie Pizza Co. certainly earned, and deserves its high marks and regards within the Buffalo pizza community! I'm glad to keep them in my list of go-to Buffalo pizza shops.
