You just have to try the stromboli here! We had the eggplant stromboli and it was amazing. The sauce for dipping was really flavorful and great. We were in town for an event at Eastman, and we hope to come back to try more of the menu. read more

Will be going back very soon for the vegan buffalo chicken Stromboli. The bread is so fresh tasting, the seitan tastes amazing with their homemade vegan buffalo sauce, and the vegan cheese is delish. The philly steak sandwich was yummy too. And the cheese pizza :) read more

This has been a go to place for my office. Their pizza comes out hot and the owner is always super friendly and interactive. Stromboli's are by far the best, but we love going here for the slices (couple slices and a drink for under $10) and salads. Specialty slices change everyday. They have some bottled beer here as well and entertainment too. read more

Bar none my favorite east ave eatery. The strombolis are a work of culinary art...and you can grab a burger there too. What a novel idea, a burger joint downtown. read more

Horrible I ordered a vegan Med Seitan Boli, lacks flavor just dough, couple green peppers and vegan cheese absolutely horrible. Not only that my Boli was $23 added jalapeños $1.50 like 5 of them. By the time my disgusting meal was delivered to me the total was $31.82 go figure!! I'm so annoyed that they would even sell something so disgusting. $31.82 for garbage I can't even eat it. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

I was just in the city for about 30 hours and this place was down the street from my hotel. I love stromboli's and Calzones and they did not disappoint at all. Cute small place, great service and even enjoyed a beer while I waited for my food. My real only issue was they guy making the food was wearing crocks or some type of sandals in the kitchen and were covered in flour not sure how sanitary that is. But the food was on point and the portions are large. read more

Seriously such a hidden vegan gem!!! Their vegan veggie boli and vegan Buffalo cauliflower boli with vegan ranch are delicious! My son loves their boneless wings and Buffalo chicken boli. Their is something for everyone! read more

Stopped in on a whim with a friend- we both have food allergies so had been looking at websites for restaurants in the area to see who could accommodate both of us. They have an extensive vegan menu, and my friend got the stuffed shells (and highly recommends!). I'm gluten free, and have been trying nearly every gluten free food I can find. I will DEFINITELY be returning for more. The gluten free pizza was even better than any "normal" pizza I've ever had. Not sure if the man working was the owner but he was extremely polite and respectful. We'll be returning asap :) read more

Stromboli's Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

I was happy to find some comfort vegan food downtown. They have a two page vegan menu (pics posted). Note that the costs go up a little compared to the non-vegan options. I tried the seitan steak stromboli. It hit the comfort/greasy craving that I find hard to fulfill. Be patient, it took about 5 min longer than the non-vegan orders after me. I'll be coming back to try some other options off the vegan menu. read more

We're back. I swore I'd never be back, but here we are. It feels like just yesterday I was being preached at, lectured and over charged in this wonderful establishment. Today however, sooo much better. While we tried to order I was told ordering a Stromboli as a pizza as forbidden. What the hell? Like I'm not asking for the same price or same box or same anything. I'm just asking for the same toppings. Apparently some toppings are strictly for calzone usage and not to be placed anywhere near a pizza. Then we moved to a sandwich where I tried to order a hot sub with a couple extra toppings. Rookie mistake. They don't DO that here. The guy taking my order literally said 'It doesn't come like that' like ten times. Finally I just asked if I could order a custom sub to be made at which point he humored my fancy and only charged me $12 for it. A real saint. The owners are so incredibly homophobic and their staff are totally lost 100% of the time. Today, it's just the one guy, who's been taking orders for the past 20 minutes AFTER we put ours in. Fingers crossed we get our food within the hour. I'm not sure HOW this place is still in business. I never write terrible reviews but no joke...if I could write 10 more terrible reviews about this place. I totally would. Just to add, there are more awful reviews of this place under the bottom tab see more reviews. Sadly the users' yelp ratings didn't place them at the forefront. read more

This is THE MUST go to spot in New York! The food is so amazing, the staff is super friendly, and you will want to order some to go!

Studying late at Javas... you know how it is you get so wrapped up in the fact that you don't know any of your lesson plan and the test is just around the corner but you can't seem to focus because the world keeps spinning and spinning and wait.... I'm hungry! LOL.... Walked over to Moe's and wanted to smack myself in the head for even thinking of eating at this place! There is not that much hunger in me... not at all! Thought about Dim Sum, never lets me down but I was in the mood for FOOOOOOD not appetizers. Stromboli Express?? Is that the name? Really? Okay, whatever. Asked the waitress/cashier/short order cook if the sub special was any good. She looked at me and asked "what do you want me to make for you?" Thought I would throw her a curve, roast beef and turkey, banana peppers, sweet peppers, flavored oil, lettuce, provolone, pepper jack and tomato on the side. First of all... the bread!!!!! Shakes the camera for effect...THE BREAD!!! All the ingredients were fresh, not too wet not too dry! and I got chips and a drink with it! WHAT!?!?!? Found the late night spot just have to remember they close at nine. This place is the end.... wow my sub is A LOT! That's all I can say.... Enjoy. read more

Came to this place because I had purchased a groupon for $15 Its basically a hole in the wall,pizza joint downtown on East Ave, next to the bar Salingers, East Ave Commons etc. Stromboli Express is low frills. Seems like they specialize in strombolis but I did see some people ordering pizza slices. When my buddy and I walked in, sure we were a little skeptical. Did I mention the place is very low frills? I would call it a mom and pop place, but really there was only a mom. Yes, this was a one woman show. The cashier, cook and server were all one clearly overworked woman. I almost felt too guilty to order anything. Almost...I went with the chicken, pepperoni boli w/ a side salad, buddy chose the spinach feta boli with a side of fries. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the food here. Everything is made fresh to order, so there was a bit of a wait, but chatting it up with my bud and checking out the interesting characters that came in made time fly. We both finished our bolis, salad and fries. Cleaned our plates. I can't really comment on WHY the boli was good, it just was. I'm totally opinionated when it comes to conventional pizza, but when you basically roll it up into a boli, I'm at a loss for words? I mean the crust, sauce, fillings, cheese tasted great. The service was damn near exceptional considering there was just one broad running the place. I would definitely go back here, maybe next time I'll try the pizza. read more

Was working near-by and a local suggested it for lunch. I had "double decker chicken and pepperoni slices" and they were AWESOME!!!!!!! OMG it was goooood!!!! It was like chicken parm pizza with pepperoni!!! Everyone was very friendly and service oriented. Nice!!!!! read more

I had a deep fried chicken spinach with feta cheese Boli. It was pretty good but wish there's a bit of salt and pepper inside. Must try. read more

Very good food. Guy taking our order made us feel guilty for ordering 20 minutes before close, and we heard him guilt three other parties blatantly while we waited for our food. "I need an order RIGHT now, and it NEEDS to be takeout". It happened the last time we were here as well. Again - great food but they should revise their closing policy. Don't stay open until 9 you don't plan on treating people like normal customers up until you close. read more

Great pizza, even better Stromboli. My personal favorite thing here is the breakfast stromboli, but the original pepperoni is great as well. This place also has great subs for a more than reasonable price. As far as food for the price, this place is a 10/10. I love the atmosphere and the staff, as well as the food. I also understand that they're moving to a new location across the street which appears to seat more people and be quite an upgrade from their previous location. read more

Well, the pizza tasted good going in, but did not sit well on my stomach. I've never been sensitive to greasy food before, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Granted, the pizza was very greasy... I would have given it 4 stars as the food was okay, the outdoor seating was nice, and the kiosk to order so you didn't have to wait in line was very convenient. However, while I was waiting to order at the kiosk and chatting with a coworker, one of the cooks pushed through the line and said "out of my way" to me. How rude! I couldn't believe it. That's no way to treat a paying customer, let alone another human being. I hope that was just a one-off bad experience, but someone should talk to the cooks about proper manners. read more

Were so I even start the first time I ever tried this food it was amazing it blew my mind...I tried more stuff on the menu and it kept getting better and better if I could would've given it 10 stars I 100% recommend eating here. read more

The fried Oreos were to die for! I think it's a new menu item because I haven't seen them here before, but I strongly recommend!

I've been walking past this place in the East End for a while and my boyfriend and I have been very curious. After another place was closed, we stopped in for an impromptu drink on a Sunday afternoon/early evening. Everyone was extremely nice and allowed us to stay while we drank and not rush us out. So when we got caught in a storm yesterday (another Sunday!) we decided to try their food. After how nice they were and the ambiance inside, we had to try it. Somehow, the food surpassed even the kindness of the staff. We were able to order online, the delivery came quickly and was reasonably priced, and when we tried our food it was PHENOMENAL. We got the mini bolis which were still a decent size. The chicken and broccoli boli was great, the bacon cheeseburger boli was delicious, but the real star was the original boli. Every flavor worked well together and each bite was a punch of amazing flavors. Definitely a must have and it already has me itching to have more! read more

Pros: They have vegan cheese; the pizza I ordered tasted OK; the staff were polite. Cons: They seem disorganized; I think I was overcharged, and they didn't respond when I tried to contact them through their website; parking on East Avenue can be a real problem. My review is based on just a single take-out order. I bought a vegan-cheese pizza to go. When I first tried to call-in the order, the employee told me that Stromboli's didn't have any vegan cheese that day, so we ended the call. Then, a minute later, he called me back and told me that they did, in fact, have vegan cheese. So I ordered a large pizza with four toppings. When I came to pick it up, the clerk apparently hit the wrong button on the point-of-sale system, and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Another woman came out from the back, and she couldn't fix it, either. So they couldn't charge my credit card. Luckily, I had enough cash on me to pay the bill in greenbacks. When I got home and started to think about the cost, I felt that they had over-charged me. I tried to contact them through the website to ask about the cost, but I never heard back from them. The pizza itself was OK but not great. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

It's so luck that I have tried 4 kinds of Bolis for free(Thanks for Warner School!) Eggplant, Chicken Broccoli, Ham Cheese and Supreme. For me, eggplant and ham cheese are not very special, they are OK though. Chicken Broccoli is good, but not as good as Supreme, my favorite one! I feel a sense of happiness when I chew and swallow it! read more

Don't come here. Anti maskers! Workers weren't wearing a mask and my friend and I were sitting next to the register for so long without anyone greeting or serving us. They even saw us there! Terrible first impression. read more

does not wear mask while cooking your food. Got two Strombolis and owner did not wear mask the entire time while making it so we didn't eat it. just a warning to those who are covid conscious. Delicious food though, it is a shame they are not following protocol. read more

I want to start by say that I regularly order from stromboli express and have had good experiences,until today I ordered boneless chicken wings and in rochester the assumption is that they they are breaded and fried chicken but what we got was was unbreaded and unfired chunks of chicken. When I called back to see about getting this fixed I was told that was how they served boneless wings and they won't replace them or give me a refund, I spoke to the owner and was told I can get a $5 credit for the next order basically saying he doesn't care how others make their food he makes food the way they want and doesn't care if people like or not if it's wrong or not what you want you're stuck with it. As an executive chef my goal is to make my guests happy so they come back this was not his customer service goal. Read his other reviews and the stores negative health department fails I gave 1 star I wish I could give negative stars read more

I'm not sure what the deal is here, but the customer service is unlike anywhere I've ever been. I have been to (or ordered from) the restaurant three times, and every time the employees have been shockingly rude. At this point, I can no longer chalk it up to someone having a bad day. It takes the fun out of eating out when you can almost guarantee you will be given attitude. It's a bummer. :( read more

We went to get some "Bolis" tonight with a group of ~15, and it was awesome! We had the Breakfast boli, Meatball boli, 2 of the Originals, and the Buffalo Chicken. All of them were excellent. Parking in this area is always tough to come by, but the stromboli makes it worth it! Thanks guys for a great night. read more

Great food so far but when the cook was refillibg the sauce on the line he poured from the can into the pan that had been there. Not a new one. He then stuck the can under the tap for the handwash sink, swirled it around and poured that mix into the pan holding the sauce. Not sure its unsanitary but its def something. read more

They just can't seem to get it together here. Food is good but they are constantly late on orders and do not seem to understand how to time things. I ordered a pizza over the phone. Arrived ten minutes late of the pickup time and they hadn't made it yet. I bought the pizza for the office and now I won't have time to eat it myself. This is not the first time this has happened either. I got an apology and nothing else. It's a shame. Great location. Their stromboli is great and I recommend the breakfast pizza if you request it a day before. read more

This place sucks. I was told 30 minutes for the delivery of a calzone. One hour and 15 minutes later it arrived. Cold, soggy, and completely inedible. It was quite honestly one of the grossest things I've ever attempted to eat. It was completely undercooked, I tried feeding it to my dog so it wouldn't be a complete waste of $20, but even he wasn't having it. Never again. GROSS. read more

Came in at 11:00 am. Despite the door being, open, the place was dark and music was blaring. I asked the (owner?) if they were open, and he condescendingly replied, "we are always open." I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fried mushrooms. It took about twenty minutes to get my food. I was the only one in the restaurant. I get my food and drive back to work. I discover that there were no fried mushrooms. I drive back. The cashier who took my order said she heard me say fried mushrooms, but forgot to bill me for them and didn't put them on the ticket. Then I get back to work and discover that the burger is raw, not rare, RAW in at least half of the burger. If this is how they are at 11:00, I can't imagine the messed up orders when they are busy. read more

I can't speak for the other food, but I had their pizza twice. Once during the Jazz festival and again in Oct. Clean place, good service, but the worst pizza I've ever had. Bad crust, bad sauce, bad cheese, bad pepperoni. Its just awful. Their other food may be fine, I don't know, but don't order the pizza. read more

They make a great cauliflower crust pizza! We ordered ours with white sauce, tomatoes, bacon, chicken, and jalapeño! The food was delicious and we had awesome custom service. We did not have to wait long for the food. read more

I really tried to convince myself that 5th time was a charm. Because this establishment is across the street from my work and there are limited food options, i decided to give Stromboli's one last try..... That was a mistake. I won't even bother getting into the prior 4 times my order was trash, but this was the absolute tipping point. I ordered a vegan stromboli online and selected a side of blue cheese. Online there is no designation as to vegan or regular, so i made sure to check with the gentleman cashing me out. He assured me that everything in my order was vegan and i went on my way. The blue cheese was great and i was raving to my coworker how close it tasted to regular blue cheese dressing that contains dairy. I know they have a vegan chef on board for their cheeses so i figured the individual was just really good at recreating flavors. There were no chunks of cheese to let me believe otherwise. Once i reached the bottom of the cup i found a chunk... I squished the chunk between my fingers to discover it was not tofu but an actual piece of blue cheese. When i walked back to the establishment to make the restaurant aware of their error, the owner became indignant and said it was my fault for not specifying in my online order that i wanted vegan blue cheese. (Mind you there was no option for V blue cheese, i ordered a vegan stromboli, and the guy at the register assured me everything was vegan.) When i explained they did not give an option online and that i verbally asked an employee he said that most of his customers that order vegan aren't vegan -_- I said that is irrelevant to my situation and that i was assured by the cashier it was vegan. His response was that that guy didn't know what he was talking about, and that if the sauce was vegan it would say this on the outside. I asked how i as a customer am supposed to know how they designate their sauces and explained that i just consumed nearly a whole container of sauce when i haven't had dairy in 2 years. He asked what i wanted him to do about it... A simple apology and recognition of their error from the beginning would have sufficed but instead it became a whole ordeal resulting in me never ordering from here again. I do hope they can learn from their very obvious mistake. In the meantime i will be letting everyone i know (especially people following a plant based diet) to not patronize this establishment. read more

Unbelievable pepperoni pizza (two times in a row). Not too thick, perfect sauce. This is the only place I have have gotten a good pizza at in Rochester in a year, and we've ordered out and been disappointed a lot. Get this- I call ten minutes before they close for delivery. The guys like, "yeah I'll bring you a pizza." Fresh and what we expected and possibly the friendliest delivery guy ever. So glad we found this place !!!! read more

The pizza was okay. They were nicely seasoned large NY style thin crust slices, But priced a bit too high (add a drink to the final cost for same total in most other establishments). Sauce was kind of bland, Not much flavor. I can't think of anything else to note that really stood out. Nothing special caught my attention that would probably bring me back, unless I was maybe in the area. read more
