    Plate of wings
    Mark F.

    Went on a Sunday for pizza due to the advertised fire oven pizzas. Once we sat down were told they can't do pizza today. No reason why, place was not busy. Ordered a Peroni beer that was on the menu. Wife got her high noon, kids got their drinks.After quite a while the waitress came and said the peroni was warm, was that ok or do you want a different beer. Menu advertises Bavarian pretzel, we got 3 pretzel sticks that were soaked in butter. I ordered wings which for the most part were good, but look at the quality of the wings in this picture. What the hell is that, did the cook take a bite out of the wing 1st. Chicken fingers the kids got were good. They enjoyed them

    Stopped in tonight and the place was packed, but for a party of eight the wait was only about a half hour. The wings were better than average, though probably not quite deserving of the high ranking they received from Wing Coalition. We ordered 10 hot, 10 BBQ gold, and 20 medium. The wings were big with plenty of meat, which was a definite plus, but they could've used a little more time in the fryer to really finish them off. Friendly atmosphere, clean, and decent service overall.

    First time here. We arrived to find it very busy on a Thursday evening. Hostess/server even asked if we had a reservation, we didn't, but she found us a table anyway. It was crowded, the bar was lined with patrons, seated and standing, and all the tables we could see were full. The service and food are overall pretty good. I wanted the garlic parm wings to be crispy, they weren't, but they were still pretty good. Steak pizza (on special this week) was the highlight.

    Home made hot wings extra crispy and all flats by request. Home made yummy bleu cheese too!

    This place has been blowing up on social media since I was last here and for good reason! I tried to get in here on Wednesday for 50 Cent wing night (reservations suggested via Facebook messenger) and the parking lot was completely full. House made hot chicken wings were cooked perfectly. Not overly hot but definitely overly delicious! Wood Fired pizza is exceptional too! Stop in and follow them on Facebook! Nice warm welcoming atmosphere here too with a nice outdoor patio.

    Sonny's Style Fire Fish = Buffalo fish fry (buffalo sauce on top, served with blue cheese). Potato salad, lazy pierogi, slaw, & fries.

    So glad we tried this spot before Shea's. My mom and I came on Ash Wednesday so the best of both options were being served - wing deals and fish fries. Everyone around us ordered the wings and lots of them. Service was a bit slow, but it was likely due to the offerings on this day. I went with the Buffalo-style fish fry and loved this spin on a traditional WNY favorite. The sides were plentiful, but could have used a bit more flavor, salt helped. Also really enjoyed that there were two potatoes (fries and potato salad) as well as lazy pierogi, my mom ate the coleslaw. Potato salad was different - scooped like mashed potatoes and had surprise cucumbers in it. The Rodeo Burger ended up being the star of the show - it was huge and well-seasoned. When we read "double patty," we were expecting smash burger size, nope, they were regular size and drool-worthy. Definitely try one of their burgers. Looking forward to coming back to try more of their menu.

    Finally stopped for the fire fish fry... have seen pics of it for a long time and had to try it. It was fantastic. Better than I hoped it would be. Wasn't sure about blue cheese instead of tartar sauce but it was pretty good. HUGE portions of 4 sides all obviously made in house. They were incredible too. Sat at the bar with Kate and she was awesome. Service was fantastic, she was so freindly and attentive. Loved the whole experience. Strongly recommend you give them a shot.

    Great post Bills game victory option. The poor KC fans even came by to cry in their beers and enjoy some of the best wings around. Above average sized wings cooked to perfection, we had buffalo sauced wings at our tailgate so opted for a unique sauce that left us hungry for more. Need to definitely come back and try their other flavors. Pizza was crisp and pepperoni charred just the right amount. Service was quick and vibe is very local sports bar. Come on by!

    Very good food here. I was surprised by a garlic butter sauce with my clams ! I highly recommend Sonny Reds ...

    I've had their amazing pizzas as well as chicken wings. But their fish fry is also very good. And was pleasantly surprised by a bowl of meatballs.

    $1 wing night

    We came for $1 wings and they were delicious. There was a good variety of flavors to try and the price includes celery and blue cheese! You must order each flavor in 10 wing orders. I got the general Tso which was a nice new flavor combo. Crispy, sweet and topped with fresh jalapeño slices these were my favorite for sure. My boyfriend got hot, which is a house hot sauce not just a Franks blend. They were tasty. His favorite was the blackened sweet jerk. I really liked the presentation on an old school fajita skillet. These were too sweet for me to have more than one, but the char was good and flavor had a nice spice to it. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was nicely decorated. We will be back for wing night for sure, but maybe get one of those wood fired pizzas too!

I called a little after 4:30pm on a Saturday and an automated system answered and provided multiple options, with "1" for calling in a pickup/delivery order. After pressing "1", it took a couple minutes for someone to answer and when they finally did, they told me they had to place me on hold, thankfully this was not even 10 seconds of waiting though. A gentleman then took my order - he was courteous and I appreciated him asking the cooks in the back a question I had about topping substitutions, which they were good with. After giving my phone number and they found my name and I placed my order, he said give them 30 minutes, which is pretty reasonable, standard. Imperial Pizza on Abbott Rd. does have a parking lot, but it's usually jam-packed so I usually park along the road on a side street close-by. The pickup process was simple and quick, but I will say, the gentlemen working behind the counter weren't too friendly, but they were quick. So for dinner, I ordered a Half (9", six slice) Stuffed Hot Pepper Pizza, but I substituted the Italian sausage for meatballs. The pizza was excellent and had a nice heft to it! Perfect cook on the dough with a nice crisp to the crust and plenty of (sweeter-side) red sauce and cheese. The stuffed hot peppers are diced up and placed generously on each slice, the cheese filling within the hot banana peppers is creamy and does a nice job to contrast the spice from the hot banana peppers. The meatballs were crumbled nicely across the pizza but I could've used a little more (but that's me though :) ). Doing the substitution for meatballs did not increase the price, which was very nice to see, and compared to the other pizza shops I frequently go to, the price was reasonable! Imperial Pizza truly is a Buffalo pizza "heavy hitter"! I don't come here too often but when I've worked up a healthy appetite, I know a pizza from Imperial Pizza will satisfy it.

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.

It was so refreshing for me to have this follow-up as it showed they want to earn my repeat business again as I had fallen off due to some quality and timing inconsistencies. They followed up again to let me know they made adjustments to their menu and then went a step further and created a new specialty pizza based on the pizza toppings I've been ordering around Buffalo. Based on the experience I had this Saturday, Wiseguys Pizza is coming back, with a vengeance, into my "go-to" pizza list!! On a Saturday, I called around 4:45pm and was connected to a young woman, who immediately informed me she was a new hire in training, which I appreciated - It helps to level-set expectations and show extra grace and patience. It took her a few times to get my phone number (I do have a Rochester-area code and live in Buffalo so it's a little jarring... haha) and when I asked for the new specialty pizza, she had a little difficulty finding it and at one point asked what toppings I wanted, so I was a little worried, but she quickly grabbed a manager and everything was squared away. Once my order was in the system, she told me it'd be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived about 35 minutes later and parked on the street, right at their front door. I walked in, paid for my pizza, chatted with one of the managers working for a moment, and walked out, literally two or three minutes I was in there. This was a critique from the last few visits so it was very refreshing to have my pizza ready when I got there, no delays! For dinner, I ordered a medium (13", eight slice) new, 2026 specialty pizza: The Clark Kent Pizza, which is mozzarella cheese, red sauce, pepperoni, HUGE slices of meatballs, banana peppers, then hot honey drizzled over it all. I took the business owner's recommendation of asking for the bottom to be a little extra crispy too. For transparency, they actually ended up making my pizza an extra-large (18", ten slice) but didn't catch it until they brought it out, but had no issue with me taking it, while paying the medium-size price. I will take a side-tangent here and say, whenever there was a mistake at Wiseguys Pizza, the management and staff have always gone above and beyond for me to make things right! I have had orders where the wrong toppings were put on and they go out of their way to make the right pizza and let me take home the "wrong" pizza, free of charge, and they deliver the right pizza for free, instead of having me wait around for it. The managers at Wiseguys Pizza are incredibly customer-first, friendly, and do whatever they can to accommodate. So, The Clark Kent Pizza... one of the best pizzas I have ever had, period! There was so much cheese and (not-so-sweet) red sauce on every slice. There were soo many pepperonis, the banana pepper rings were plentiful, adding a nice level of spice without scorching the tastebuds. But my goodness, the meatballs... 2025 was the year of ordering meatballs on pizza and Wiseguys Pizza's spin on meatballs has got to be the best I've had - Thick, meaty slices bursting with flavor. To help seal the deal was the drizzle of hot honey on top, which they measured out perfectly as each slice had an extra sticky, sweet heat, while not leaving your hands a sticky mess. Asking for the dough underneath to be extra crispy was also the solution I've been looking for as the dough was perfect this time - Not floppy, wet in the center and every slice held up the denseness of the toppings with zero issue, while the crust had an excellent level of crispy and chewy. It doesn't really need to be mentioned but the extra-large size is more than plenty for one person (even for a guy with a "healthy" appetite like me), but every slice was nicely sized and I'm looking forward to reheating the other half for dinner very soon. As for the price, even though I paid for a medium and received two sizes larger, I've ordered medium pizzas from Wiseguys Pizza before and they are very much in-line with the majority of Buffalo pizza shops, so no complaints/surprises here. If you've made it to the end of this review, congrats and thank you! haha After being reached out to by the business owner from Wiseguys Pizza, I saw how much they cared about his business, but also cared about earning my business back. That really impressed me. If you've read my other reviews, I really like Wiseguys Pizza, but the big thing now, for me at least, is they can consistently keep this level of quality. Going off my most recent visit though, I most certainly will be ordering more of my Saturday night pizzas from Wiseguys Pizza!
