If you read my recent post on Giacobbi's, then you know I had a great experience and meal there. So it was a pleasant surprise to find out that the same family operates JJ's Casa Di Pizza. Talent runs deep here in Buffalo, as does my love for pizza. Casa is in prime location of downtown … Continue reading JJ’s Casa Di Pizza: Master of the Buffalo Chicken Finger Pizza
Forno Napoli: Wood-Fired Pizza for a Casual Night Out
I love going out to eat. But sometimes I don't always want all of the bells and whistles that come with going out to eat though. I don't always want to have to dress up nice. I don't want to deal with all the jacked up prices either. Luckily in Buffalo, eating pizza doesn't mean … Continue reading Forno Napoli: Wood-Fired Pizza for a Casual Night Out
Carbone’s Pizzeria: True Buffalo-Style Pizza
Growing up in Rochester, my family was loyal to this place called Carbone's Pizzeria. Carbone's had always been my favorite pizza. It was medium-sized crust, had cup-and-char pepperoni, was on the slightly over-cooked side with a crunch, and had a nice zesty sauce. I felt like there was nothing like this pizza anywhere else in Rochester. … Continue reading Carbone’s Pizzeria: True Buffalo-Style Pizza
DiPaulo’s Pizzeria: Bad Crust Makes You Appreciate Good Crust
Love at first sight? Welp, I definitely had my eyes out for DiPaulo's Pizzeria. It had all the right curves and appeal. Like some relationships though, as you get further into things, you uncover some flaws, you accept it's not for you, and you move on. Even though I was sad to see it happen, … Continue reading DiPaulo’s Pizzeria: Bad Crust Makes You Appreciate Good Crust
Giacobbi’s: Artisan Pizzas You’ll Be Talking About
Remember when I said 'this is my favorite pizza?' Or 'favorite restaurant?' Well, I have a new favorite! Giacobbi's Cucina Citta in Allentown is a newer, authentic Italian restaurant. They pride themselves on their artisan pizzas and family recipes, which I can appreciate their attention to detail and value of tradition. A Night Out In … Continue reading Giacobbi’s: Artisan Pizzas You’ll Be Talking About
New York City: First Impressions of Pizza, Dining, and Beyond
This is going to come as a shock, I know, but I've never been to New York City until this past week. So many of my favorite movies and shows that feature the Big Apple (SATC, Maid in Manhattan, Eloise at the Plaza, the list goes on...) have allowed me to build up this magical … Continue reading New York City: First Impressions of Pizza, Dining, and Beyond
Gino & Joe’s vs. Gino & Joe’s
I love working in downtown Buffalo, right on Main St. in the heart of the theater district. It makes for great walks when I need a break, plus there's a lot of solid restaurants in this area, even beyond pizza. A coworker of mine had mentioned that she loved this pizza place called Gino's and … Continue reading Gino & Joe’s vs. Gino & Joe’s
Mama Mia’s Pizzeria + Brookdog Fishing Company: Hooked on New Finds
I have a respect for pizza places that are the hidden gems. The one's where you're like, "This is convenient and affordable, however it's a bit of a hole in the wall and I have never heard of it, but hey, this could be good... or a disaster. Let's try it!" Mama Mia's Pizzeria was … Continue reading Mama Mia’s Pizzeria + Brookdog Fishing Company: Hooked on New Finds
Mattina’s Pizzeria: Sweet Sauce Success
I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm not a huge sweet sauce person. And I think that's because any sweet sauce pizzas that I've had overdid it! Those pizzas ended up being so overly saucy that they poor out with each bite, so all you taste is sauce. I guess it's not necessarily … Continue reading Mattina’s Pizzeria: Sweet Sauce Success
Macy’s Place Pizzeria: Not My Go-To Place
Occasion It was my birthday weekend, so I decided to kick it off the best way I know how: eating pizza and having a drink! I had to make a trip to the Galleria (obviously to treat myself to a new pair of bday shoes), so I figured I'd pick up pizza in the … Continue reading Macy’s Place Pizzeria: Not My Go-To Place
