While here on a visit we stopped here for their NY thin crust pizza. We were not disappointed. Pizza is ordered by the slice. Many varieties. We got slices of pepperoni, mushroom and broccoli, bacon pizza and plain cheese plus a cobb salad with chicken. Everything delicious. Great thin crust and great mozzarella cheese. Salad was good too. Prices good, friendly service at the counter. Comfortable atmosphere. One of best pizza we had in a long time! read more

The slices are HUGE. $8 for a slice and a drink. The staff are quick, polite and knowledgable. I loved the subway murals on the wall. Very fun to look at. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but this is probably the best pizza in all Rochester. It's semi-tough find NYC style Pizza within Rochester. But this pizza is the best. This is the reason I stay in New York State when my family tells me we should move down south. Also if you get Pizza go to this location in the city it is much better than they're other locations. I even got it grubhubbed and it was still 10 outta 10 in quality. read more

The Pizza Stop - Pep & cheese - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Paid for pizza thru the Too Good To Go app. Went to pick up the pizza and the place was locked up tight and no lights on or staff present. Had a hard time explaining to my grandson why there was no pizza for dinner. Hours of operation need to be corrected especially for Sunday! read more

if you're reading these reviews: GO already. it's a bitch to find parking but it's in a nice section of downtown so i'd honestly recommend just catching the bus and walking from state & main. service is quick and polite, pizza is absolutely A1 -- maybe the best NY style i've ever had, but i haven't been to NYC yet. thin underside, some semolina for texture and crunch, plus an amazing edge with a nice crisp top. sauce isn't too sweet or salty or acidic; whatever brand of tomatoes they use is a damn good one. oh, and try the garlic knots. absolutely addictive. the prices are so fair that they renew your belief in the american dream. not to mention they sell off their end-of-day waste on too good to go even cheaper!! and because it's well-made pizza with good, real ingredients, you can throw it straight in the oven for a few minutes and reheat it and it's JUST as good as it is fresh. average price per visit for me is $7 and i'm satisfied with my meal for the whole day. it's almost unfair to everyone else how good this place is. during the warmer months when you can dine outside it's an absolute dream. anyone who lives (or is detouring) here NEEDS to try it. read more

Food, service is A1. Closest to NYC pizza I've had in Rochester. My go to when craving some city flavor. Would definitely recommend

First and last time ever going there. Their customer service sucks. It's freezing they got the door open. Standing in line 15 minutes and then the server takes other people in front of you. Never again. read more

Missing NY pizza? Want that authentic taste? Here's the place to go. Definitely a 10/10

Stopped in for a slice on State street downtown two days ago, I noticed that things felt different, the service was slow, the atmosphere seemed different, the two slices I ordered had been left in the oven a little two long, when I went to use the bathroom two wash up it was locked, in which I had to ask for a key, only to find that the bathroom had not been cleaned. So on my way out I asked one of the workers had the business been sold to a new owner and she stated that it had and that her dad had brought the business. I whish them luck because this is the only place I like to buy my pizza, to me it was a five star pizza place, but for the new owner I'm only going to give it three stars. read more

Nothing fancy. Just thin crust, NY style pizza the way it's meant to be. A large selection of slices, efficient and generally pleasant service and somewhat dated, and therefore authentic, serving and dining areas. I highly recommend stopping in for a slice or two and a hint of real Brooklyn Pizzeria atmosphere. I stop here frequently when I venture into the city. read more

The Pizza Stop - Fantastic variety of slices every day! - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Frequent patron of Pizza Stop! Best pizza this side of Brooklyn! Usually go with my one of my favorites, buffalo chicken or pepperoni/meatball, as they never disappoint. Today I was led to their newest creation - The Big Dominican! Savory pork, plantains, cheese, pickled onion all covered in this sauce that brought it all together! Well done!!! Satisfying!! Barstool has to visit this place! read more

Ordered a pizza online, when I arrived with my 2 kids, the 2 men working were EXTREMELY RUDE, saying they were closed and I didn't order anything online. I showed them my receipt and they said oh you will have to call someone online to get a refund cause we are done making pizzas today.. Seeing I had a receipt and 2 children, most would have stayed the extra 20min to make a pizza for a family who traveled there to eat, but not these scrubs! read more

Great NY Style pizza by the slice. Just what we were looking for. Enjoyed our stop here on our visit to upstate NY.

Solid little pizza shop that doesn't have much else around (at least in freezing January). You can order full pies or just slices, and mix and match with those slices as well. A few different cans of drink options (soda, etc). A few tables inside. A simple yet pretty yummy pizza choice if you are ever in the area. I tried the Buffalo chicken and the pepperoni and both were spot on for me. My friends and I devoured our two slices in less than 10 mins. Do it. read more

The Pizza Stop - Pizza Slice with 1 Topping - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Not sure what all the hype is about. Stopped in to get couple slices to go. Returned to work, opened bag and...Pizza slice very small and stingy on toppings-big time. 4$ not cheap. I don't mind spending, but don't chinze on ingredients. not a good look. Sauce overwhelmingly oregano-not good! Couldn't stand to eat it. Very disappointed!!! Won't be going back. All done! read more

Yum! Huge selection of slices available during lunch. Garlic pizza with spinach or mushroom and broccoli, red sauce w/ sausage, pepperoni, various veggie mixes and more. They are quite busy during lunch time, but they are ready! I got my slices piping hot in record speed. I'm impressed. Huge selection, fast and delicious. Will be back! read more

The Pizza Stop - Spinach garlic white pizza on the left, cheese on the right - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Some friends and I were craving pizza and we decided to take a walk over to the Pizza Stop to get some. Tip: This place is totally worth visiting, but I'd suggest being careful when walking here after dark. The four of us had trouble agreeing on toppings for a whole pie; we eventually decided to go with a cheese pizza, and then a couple of extra slices with different toppings so that everyone would end up getting what they wanted. The cheese they use on the pizza here is excellent, the dough is tasty and both the sausage and pepperoni are top-quality. We were all very happy with our choices, and didn't have any leftovers when we were done. Highly recommended! read more

Worst experience ever I had with pizza stop I ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was delivered I received the wrong pizza called in and was told I would need to have the pizza refunded then pay for new one. There was no accountability on their end the customer service I rate it a 0 because the supervisor said he couldn't help because the owner was not there. I had to drive over to them with the pizza. Will not be returning. read more

OMG! I'm so bummed this spot is closed on Saturdays. I was in town about 2 weeks ago and had a slice of their broccoli mushroom garlic pizza and I was blown away. Never thought broccoli on pizza would be a thing for me but it is now! I ate it so fast didn't think about taking a pic of it. Service was fast and friendly and the spot wasn't fancy but the pizza was so it's all good! Plenty of tables and there was a steady cycle of customers coming and going; I assume it's a local favorite. You have the option of by-the-slice or whole pies. I had slices, with my second slice being pepperoni and it was good too. Nice large slices at an affordable price- I will definitely stop by when I'm in town again! read more

Overall dive place to find great NY Pizza slices. Reasonable prices, and large selection of slices available. What a little treasure! read more

Fast, greasy, cheap, and filling -- this restaurant delivers on everything you could want from a high-volume, speedy pizza joint. Lines may be long but you get through it fairly quickly, pizzas are churned out constantly as hungry diners rapid-order slices, there's a decent amount of dine-in space that turns over quickly as people quickly finish their food and get back to work. As for the pizza, it was alright given the price and restaurant style. The thick pizza has a nice soft dough with slightly crisp edge and toppings are slighty crisp as they're finished a bit more in the oven. The thin crust is nice and crispy, with a nice firm bite. Overall, the thick chewy cheese layer is a bit oily and sauce is slightly sweet, but it works well with the different topics, particularly the pepperoni with an almost bacon-like crispness. The cinnamon knot is sweet and a bit too firm for me, and was a letdown compared to the pizza. Quick and simple -- cheap and filling, a nice pizza place for a delicious meal. read more

pizza is absolutely incredible, slices are huge, and cheap compared to other places. only thing wrong is the attitude of the workers. young girl barely looked me in the eye, clearly miserable about something, didn't ask if i wanted my slices in a box or bag. i worked in minimum wage, it sucks, if you don't like it find another job. no need to be rude to people who are being respectful and kind towards you. you're bad day is not mine. read more

THE. BEST. PIZZA. IN. ROCHESTER. Hands down. We've gotten both slices from the State Street location and a full pie from the Monroe Ave location last night. (I am THRILLED that they offer delivery now through DoorDash!) And we can confirm that whether you get a full pie or a slice, the pizza is amazing either way! This is true New York style pizza. Thin crust that's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese! Not too saucy and not too cheesy with a hint of seasoning. The State Street location does have a lot of seating, though I'd argue it's best for running in to grab a slice to go. They are super quick! Do yourself a favor and get The Pizza Stop your next pizza and movie night. I guarantee you won't want any other pizza ever again! read more

The Pizza Stop - A medium (14") cheese pie - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Can't go wrong with a cheesy NYC style slice of pepperoni for $3. The crust is thin and crunchy, just the way I like it. Served fast and hot, but is pretty greasy. To-go slices are put on paper plates and into a paper bag - not very convenient, esp. when greasy. The ambiance of this location reminds me of an off-beat NYC pizzeria, complete with exposed brick, grime, and the attitude to boot. I had heard really good things so expected it to be better. read more

As a transplant to WNY, the only thing I possibly dislike about WNY is the pizza. I am more accustomed to NYC style pizza, and have had no luck finding similar pizza in WNY. Well, no luck until now! This pizza was delicious, and very authentic to NYC style! The prices were fairly decent too at $2 for a slice with pepperoni and 75 cents for each additional topping. When you walk in, there are atleast 10 different pizzas to pick a slice from, or you can order a whole pizza. The bottle of water was a little overpriced at $2. The dining area has a very hole in the wall NYC pizzeria feel to it too. I can't wait to go back, or find another reason to visit Rochester! read more

The closest thing your going to get to a down state NY city pizza. Make sure you go to the one ridgeway. Because for some reason the one on state street has some assholes working there. read more

This place is amazing. The pizza is great, the garlic knots are out of this world, and somehow their cans of Mountain Dew are more amazing than any other can of Mountain Dew I've ever had. I'm not even sure how they do it. I was stuck in Rochester because the LaGuardia airport was taking a snow day, so we decided to check this place out. It was right down the street a couple blocks but let me tell you, I would have walked miles for this food! Oh and did I mention the price is right? I got a slice of pizza, 3 knots, and a soda for $6... boom! read more

The Pizza Stop - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

If the Hunchback of Notre Dame ran this place, it'd be the Pizza Stoop. By the way, Yelp... this place is literally *next door*. Can't you just edit the address rather than doing the "MOVED" thing, because now all of the scores of amazing reviews are no longer part of this listing. What to get: regular slices, specialty slices, and big sicilian pies. All amazing. What in particular: The White Garlic Broccoli slice is probably my 2nd fave garlicky slice in the world, after Sunnyside (Queens NYC) and their Garlic Bread Pizza. If you got a free baby (delivered by bird) with every slice, it'd be the Pizza Stork. This is Rochester's best Pizzeria, just ever-so-slightly inching (not those sorts of inches, you dirty people) ahead of Joe's Brooklyn in Henrietta. I had a friend who was a female pizza slice, but unfortunately my friend Henry ate her (Henrietta). Ha. Ha. Ha. If the employees followed you home after you bought a slice, it'd be the Pizza Stalk. Anyway, where was I. I've been here so many times, they probably know my name. Okay, they don't, but they could. Sometimes they have lines way out the door around lunch time, and so they should because all the slices here are just orgasmic. It's New York style thin crust heaven, but they also have a bunch of heavy specialty pies including some triple layer meat paradise pizzas, which remind me of one I had at Margherita's in State College, PA one time, and loved. Imagine three layers of pizza crust in a pie with pepperoni, cheese, ham, sausage, and hot wet luscious tomato sauce all inside the pie. It's so damn f*cking good baby. If you were imprisoned in a Medieval Holding Device upon entering the shop, it'd be the Pizza Stocks. Make sure you come in here at lunch time, the earlier the better, so you have a huge choice (huge like my thingy) and everything is piping hot and fresh straight out of the oven. You probably won't have to wait in line until after 12. I think 11.50 or 11.55 is probably the perfect time to get here, but even if you come later on, it's still well worth it. It's one of my favourite pizza places not only in WNY, but in the whole country. If it were in Buffalo it would easily be top 5 there, and if you know how good Buffalo pizza is, that is an enormous compliment. Enormous like my... oh never mind. If they sold Gorgonzola Garlic Slices, it'd be the Pizza Stink. For those who love this pizza and think I have good taste in pizza (I do!), when in Buffalo, try Imperial (the best), Mattina's on Sheridan (similar), Franco's on N Bailey (square slice but similar), Molinaro's on Sheridan (a bit like Pizza Stop), Zip's on Hertel (but mainly for the wings and eppy roll), Rocco's on Transit (lunch time only), Chuck's near downtown, Pizza Oven in Niagara Falls, La Paloma in Alden, Pizza Heist in Lancaster and many more. In Rochester, try Pizza Stop and try Joe's Brooklyn too. So much good pizza in WNY, it hurts. And expands the tum tum. And if everyone here had an awful sore throat, it'd be the Pizza Strep. Pizza Stop. God's gift to Rochester Pizza. Allah's gift too. And if you're not religious, then it's Science's gift to Nature, and Nature's gift to you. So if you're attractive I think you should pay Pizza Stop back by coming here for slices "au naturel". If you get arrested, I'll bail you out. Maybe. Oh, and finally, if you do come in here au naturel, and therefore the employees have their way with you, and if you absolutely love it, then it'd definitely be the Pizza Don't Stop. read more

If there are other "by the slice" pizza places around town I don't know about them and if there are it would be hard to fathom that they would be as good as the Pizza Stop. This long time downtown institution is a simple set-up: stand in line, order your slice(s), the guy behind the counter grunts at you, he pops'em in the oven, you pay, you get your hot slices, you devour them. Nice thin crust, NY style slices. The pepperoni is very good as is the white garlic. Perfect! The garlic knots are also very good. I just wish I worked closer so that I could come here for lunch as often as my wife does... read more

The Pizza Stop - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

it was ok, sauce tasted like canned cheap sauce and had huge chunks of seasoning. The garlic was really heavily seasoned. Did not deliver.

I ordered a thin crust extra large last night , downtown in 14604. It was huge and very good . I got it in less than one hour by ordering early at about 4:30. I wish they had margherita on the menu and I wish they let you add special requests like extra crispy. I will order again. It's a quality pie read more

Great food but rude service. Recently that irritation blew over And I am adjusting my review because when I posted it I was angry. Calzone is phenomenal it's so good that I come back even though every single time there's at least one person there that is unbelievably rude to me read more

A nice short walk from the office and a great slice of pizza ! Lots of varieties all the time. Today but had pepperoni and banana peppers- a delicious combo. Big slices too- today one was enough but sometimes I have 2. Went after the lunch rush today so it was a quick in and out. Best pizza in downtown! Update- wait! I was going to write the same thing as last time- except today I had 2 slices. Made the lunch walk, on a beautiful day. Loved the pizza and the Jerry Garcia channel tunes playing on the big tv. Still my fave pizza stop! read more

Came to Rochester from Hawaii for the first time and was hungry so saw this pizza place. Best decision ever. First ordered two slices of pizza for my wife and I but after taking a bite of it, we called our friends to eat with us and ended up ordering a large pepperoni pizza. It was the best pizza my wife and I had for quite some time. The shop is simple, the cooks were nice when you spoke to them and the cashier was pleasant. Nothing fancy but who needs fancy when the food is great and that's how this pizza tasted! Wish we were staying longer as we would definitely have come again. Five stars for the food and the customer service from the guy cashier who was patient and friendly. Hope this business stays open for many years or at least until we get to visit again! read more

I am really really picky when it comes to pizza. I am from Long Island /NYC and as a result I am pretty much a pizza snob. THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE.
