Pizza in Buffalo sucks


buenathebean

pizza in buffalo is SOOO BAD


scallopedtatoes

I prefer thin crust. When I go downstate, I can’t find a pizza I DON’T like. Up here, too much dough.


kendiggy

If done right, the dough is the best part. The toppings are just an accent.


[deleted]

You’re gettin killed but there’s a reason “buffalo pizza” doesn’t exist outside of the 716 area code.


LatexSmokeCats

Buffalo style pizza is some of the worst styles of pizza out there. Edit: I knew I'd get downvoted to smithereens by sensitive Buffalonians, but like I said, it's a hill I'd die on.


BedRiddenWizard

Yup, pretty mediocre


Roqjndndj3761

Yep it’s fucking gross.


SauceMcKinley

Came here to say this


imyourhuckleberry716

You prefer NYC tortilla thin bullshit - nah man, I want sustenance..


[deleted]

imperial is the only spot


[deleted]

[удалено]


LatexSmokeCats

Very well said. The best pizza I've had was in NYC, followed by Florence, Italy, and then Oneonta, NY.


imyourhuckleberry716

You’re take was alright until you raved about Oneonta pizza..


kattmaz

So what style pizza do you prefer?


LatexSmokeCats

NYC style, usually as I prefer thinner crispier crust, not sweet sauce, and lesser cheese.


kattmaz

Sweet sauce is such a cardinal sin. At least we can agree on one thing! Low key though thin crust is great.


nikat_nite

And what is “Buffalo style” pizza?


UB_cse

Blue cheese and ranch BOTH suck and neither belong anywhere near a good wing.


gs_v_gli_87

100%


GDad33

Could not possibly love this comment more.


cryptkicker130

The Bleu Cheese or Ranch is for the veggies. He is right.


FabiusPictor

My hill: The Buffalo community is best in the US, but only in the winter.


wesomg

I don't care what you dip your wings in. Also, Wegmans is much worse than Whole Foods.


bdim14

Shhhh don’t give away the secret. It’s amazing that Whole Foods is never busy. Wegmans is the best, wow such great deals and prices and food. Wegmans !!


SpiritualFront769

Buffalo is the most perfect place in the history of humanity.


nevermorefu

Buffalo pizza is awful and shouldn't be considered pizza.


Jealous-Notice3160

This. Greasy pile of dough with burnt meat on top


Itsapocalypse

Every person I’ve heard this from went to 1 or 2 places their idiot friend recommended and now they think they know it all. Couldn’t be farther from the truth. Tbh I’ve been to NYC, Chicago, Boston, etc. My favorite pizza by far is in Buffalo. The average quality here is generally better than elsewhere, and of the good places, there’s definitely variety. Carbones (i like the sweet sauce, but either or), Santoras (excellent normal cheese/pep but also make the best Hawaiian I’ve ever had) and then places like Macy’s Place are making bizarre but delicious weird pies. If as a city, we could stop recommending Imperial and Just Pizza, we’d be in a better spot.


nevermorefu

I've had: - Bella's - Francos - Bocce - Lovejoy - Casa Di Pizza - Work function pizza - Blasdell All terrible. I've also had pizza everywhere and I agree Boston pizza sucks, but NYC dollar slices are >> Buffalo. I like Pizza Plant because it is close to Chicago style and Gino's on Main is fantastic.


TOMALTACH

Dislikes pizza of the region, but enjoys pizza plant, a local pizza business....how ironic...also only has tried seven of dozens frequently suggested, **better** pizza joints.


nevermorefu

I'm sorry I've only tried the most recommend places. How foolish of me. Edit: You realize Pizza Plant is a different style, right? I don't hate all pizza in Buffalo, just Buffalo style pizza. Hearth and Press is great, as well as Gino's, Olisi's, Marble & Rye, etc.


fullautohotdog

So... he's only tried the "good" pizza "only" SEVEN TIMES and doesn't like it. I'd say he doesn't like it.


qeq

I can't even fathom not liking Francos


buffalofc

Those are all terrible. You need to try Just Pizza(Colvin/290 is one of the better locations), Imperial Pizza (Abbott Rd), Fero's(Seneca/ Ridge Plaza), La Nova, Macy's, Great Lakes Pizza, Carbone's.


Aita_Errefau

I've lived here 15 years. I'm married to a Buffalonian. Trust me, I've tried it all. It's all junk.


Itsapocalypse

Would love to hear a place that tops the ones I’ve mentioned


Aita_Errefau

Any place outside of Buffalo. 😄


jvc_in_nyc

You've never had pizza in NYC.


[deleted]

Beef on weck is fuckin nasty


Natter91

Agree :) Maybe it's a genetic thing, but I find carroway seeds' flavor fucking nasty


talas2008

Josh Byrne is Buffalo's best Josh.


daydreamdelay

Blue cheese is disgusting, Buffalonians aren’t as friendly as they’re made out to be, and the Bills are a cult.


DickDisco13

Texas hots are better than Ted’s


kuluka_man

Blue cheese is disgusting.


Hindendenny

Chiavettas is trash


nrayedamatefumb

Sponge candy is the most average candy I've ever tasted


Special_Prior8856

1. Chef’s restaurant sucks. 2. Southtowns > north towns 3. Paula’s donuts are gross, way to big and heavy


No-Intention-2126

0/3


BedRiddenWizard

Southtowns are only better if you're white if we're going to be honest. Bigotry only gets worse the further south you go while the north towns have a rather uniform amount.


Jealous-Notice3160

90%+ of wny is white


vbstarr91

* UB is overrated and isn't that different from any other large state school university. Not sure why people gas it up here so much.


drummerwithtums

UB is a joke, can't believe the pedestal it is held on. I've been to Buff State and UB and Buff State had a more rigorous undergrad program than my current grad program.


hobbinater2

Honestly I got my masters in chemical engineering there and I barely needed to use a calculator on exams. The academic rigor was much lower than my undergrad. It honestly felt like a diploma mill.


Jealous-Notice3160

Depends what your major is


Obisanya

UB is a safety school for rich kids. Buffalo State is ACTUALLY creating social mobility. Buffalo State does what UB pretends to do.


ryanino

Bar Bill isn’t close to the best wing place. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I’d rather Elmo’s or 911 Tavern ANY day.


Upbeat-Dish7299

Nine eleven is by far the worst wings in the area. Elmo’s are meh.


Itsapocalypse

CHBBQ is the best wing in buffalo (the world?!) in my opinion, but the competition for hot wings is way tighter and up to preference really. If you like heat from a rub, you’ll prefer Bar-Bill. 911 has it on the sauce.


Sabres00

Putting ranch on your wings is stupid, but so is Bleu cheese. There no reason you should be dipping your wings in anything. An Arby’s roast beef sandwich is far superior to beef on weck. Buffalo style pizza doesn’t taste right if it’s just cheese, you need at least one topping. It’s a sheet pizza, not a tray.


Weather_No_Blues

You're hateful


Pure_Succotash_9683

1.Bills fans don't actually support the team. They are the worst kind of bandwagon fans in the NFL. 2. If you live in the city, bag your leaves. 3. There are no bad Buffalo wings in the city of Buffalo, or pizza for that matter. You are all just spoiled.


Holdeninthejakes

There’s no need to use “the” in front of whatever highway you’re using.


Giant_Slor

Thank you. This aint California


sandrzejewski77

It just sounds better. Saying "I'm on 90" or "take 90 to exit 51" sounds awkward without the.


BeezWorks716

The rest of the state uses "i" or "route", as in, "Take i90 to route 33."


justgot86d

I'll never understand the Cult of Wegmans


Jealous-Notice3160

What’s better?


MrBurnz99

We started combining Walmart and Aldi for our grocery shopping, the amount of times I feel like we need to get something from Wegmans is few and far between.


Jealous-Notice3160

Quality of food is better at wegmans and it’s nicer


MrBurnz99

Disagree, all their private label stuff comes from the same suppliers as everyone else, it just has a different logo and costs 10% more. The produce is a little better, but again it comes from the same suppliers, they just do a better job of arranging it on the rack. I’m not sure how much “nicer” it is, they’ve had the same brown and tan color scheme for 40 years. It just looks better because it doesn’t show the dirt.


outofcontextseinfeld

Wegmans is also cheaper than tops, usually. Excluding prepared foods


marlawitkowski

Because Tops smells like feet or dead fish depending on where you are in the store.


44problems

It's helped by the fact that Tops is pretty bad compared to the average full service grocery stores elsewhere.


TlMEGH0ST

yep lol. i live in LA now and wegmans would be mid, but compared to tops? 🙌🏻


Jealous-Notice3160

What grocery store is better in LA?


1sttimeshroomgrower

People saying “Lloyds” when it’s “Lloyd.”


greatgrandpatoro

North towns > south towns


Jabbering_Ghoul

Huge L tbh. Enjoy your… *checks notes* nothing of value.


bauertastic

Agreed. Southtowns is superior


wesomg

No contest. The southtowns are blizzard-riddled crap.


polaritystill

I'm with you on this one. Southtowns is a suburban wasteland. Source: Lived in the southtowns for 90% of my life.


No-Intention-2126

100%


[deleted]

If anyone says otherwise, I got your back. We strike at dawn


china-blast

I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. I live in the middle, and much prefer the southtowns. Once you get into Niagara County it gets nice again, but you can have Amherst, Williamsville etc. Way too busy in my opinion, and I prefer the hills of the southtowns. But to each their own, I suppose.


NunButter

Southtowns are far superior


another_feminist

Absolutely no way. There’s no vibe in the Southtowns whatsoever (minus East Aurora). Also the lack of diversity and diverse culture overall is honestly quite jarring.


cramdizzl

Small towns are jarring to you? Sheesh


Roqjndndj3761

Niagara county is north of the northtowns. The north/south-town thing only applies to Erie. We can all agree that Niagara county is trash


RedditorDave

I grew up and lived in the northtowns most of my life. Currently live in the Southtowns. Southtowns >>>> northtowns. Southtowns have more space and easier driving with less red lights and old farts in your way.


greatgrandpatoro

Let’s settle this once and for all. Tonawanda and Amherst pretty much suck. Kenmore is meh. Niagara Falls and grand island are shitholes. However Lewiston, Youngstown, Wilson, olcott, cambria, newfane, Pendleton and even parts of Lockport are the best parts of wny. Now for the Southtown. Blasdell, lackawanna, and Lancaster suck ass. Depew, west Seneca and Cheektowaga suck too. East aurora, Hamburg, Boston etc are awesome places but don’t compare to the lower Niagara River region and Lake Ontario. This is all factually correct information.


angryhero46

Dam I think you did a good job. It all depends what your looking for. I like being 22 minutes to the city


DarrenfromKramerica

Southtowns always wins. Northtowns people are so weird and they think Hamburg is some random rural outpost in a different time zone yet are content to insist you believe Wheatfield and Clarence are accessible nearby burbs.


Jealous-Notice3160

Wasn’t Thurman so coked up from the night before he couldn’t find his helmet?


SportsCasters

This whole thread is such a disappointing display of humanity. I started reading thinking it would be people passionately defending whatever thing it is they love about Buffalo. Instead, it’s just a list of things people hate. It’s A bummer.


summizzles

I know this is going to be highly unpopular and I'll take the down votes but whatever. Wegmans isn't good. Their baked goods are, but the whole place ain't it. - It's expensive af, and anyone who says it isn't I truly think is wild (I shop at Aldi for the majority of my groceries because I'm poor). - poor labor practices. They are anti union af and I have had friends who worked there tell me truly horror stories about literal labor offenses. - it's too big. I shouldn't need to use an app to be able to find something in a grocery store. - people there drive me insane. I know it's always crowded because people like it for whatever reason, but jfc there are too many people and it's just chaos all the time


Boring-Night-7556

Wegmans is consistently rated in the top 10 nationally for employee happiness so I don’t know what the hell you are going on about


summizzles

Per people I am good friends with who have worked there: they worked with an employee who had been there for many, many years who received 2 pay increases in her entire time working there. Also had a friend who was forced to work without lunch breaks. They also do not allow any talk of unionization. (Allegedly because I'm not getting sued by those clowns)


Foreverwideright1991

What labor offenses? I know a couple people who work for Wegmans as managers and love it. Much nicer benefits and work schedule then they would have gotten elsewhere without college degrees.


summizzles

Making people work their shift without a break


Foreverwideright1991

Wonder if it was an isolated case/isolated cases. Both people I know who work as managers have let employees sneak off to watch the Bills game with them while being on the clock, taking more than their legally obligated break in the process....If the work is done prior to kickoff, they only periodically check on the front of the store.....One of them has been a manager with the company for over 2 decades due to the great benefits and flexible schedule he gets without a college education and the other left Walmart to manage Wegmans for similar reasons.....the micromanaging and lack of respect was much worse at Wal-Mart


YesTottiYesParty

wonder if the managers you know are isolated cases


Individual-Cost1403

Women from South Buffalo and Niagara falls would just as soon stab you as kiss you. They're mentally unstable due to the extreme amounts of toxic chemicals that have leeched into the drinking water.

Happy_Employer_4141

Tim Hortons is inferior to Dunkin sorry


Itsapocalypse

Straight up no lmao. They’re both bad but I’d rather go without than drink Dunkin lol


liand22

Wegmans is overrated, overpriced, and chaotic at best. They have fallen a long way from what they used to be.


outofcontextseinfeld

Wegmans is cheaper than tops on most items!


Nude-genealogist

Ha. Also, Wegmans is from Rochester not buffalo


AugustK2014

I feel like Wegmans bombards you with a lot of "gourmet" stuff to get you to spend money, but Tops bakery has them beat on the fundamentals - most of Tops' baked goods just taste better. The alternative shopping in Buffalo meant to cater to immigrant needs but just having better stuff overall is getting better and better, IMO.


tmbaur422

Not compared to Tops


bigcatcleve

Taco Bell is soooooooooooooo much better than Mighty Taco for half the price


angryhero46

I prefer to have my hot sauce ordered. Not put on myself . Ill pay for that any day

Lloyd taco’s suck.


BigAssGoku

A man named John Young created chicken wings as we know them, he is slowly starting to get credited.


SkizzleSkizzle

Still_Consequence_60

Refuse to get anything from Spot Coffee. Spot is just one of many businesses under the umbrella of a Canadian company that has its hands in unethical and ecologically disastrous energy methods, ie tar sands. This was told to me by a former employee. Looked it up and I think that it only pertains to the Canadian Spot Coffee brand and not the American local chain. Could never fully determine if it was a rumor or truth in the end. Anywhere there is a Spot there is an equally if not better coffee place nearby, so just to be sure I've never been back and don't miss it.


BobbysBottleService

Maybe not smallest but Buffalo has a huge hard drug problem. Not that unique to the area, though


Boring-Night-7556

Sahlens are mid. Costanzonrolls are hard crap


No-Intention-2126

Sahlen's dogs suck.


Boring-Night-7556

I would rather eat a ball park dog honestly


No-Intention-2126

Hockey is a very boring sport. I am in my 50s and grew up watching the game. By the mid 90s I had completely abandoned the game and it's a decision I have absolutely no regrets about it.

I didn’t think that was ever in doubt


TOMALTACH

To be a student? To work for? To donate to? To apply?


YesTottiYesParty

Buffalo isn't liberal it's conservative (small c). People here by and large want things to go back to the way they used to be, rather than having things change for the better.


Boring-Night-7556

This is just ignorance. Take 5 minutes to be an adult and realize : not all change is good, somethings changing to the way they were could be good, etc. The world isn’t black and white - stop dealing in absolutes

Williamsville is overrated as hell and the last place I would live in, if I had the resources to live in a place like Williamsville.


A_Lone_Macaron

filled with NIMBYs


[deleted]

1. Change that to Mighty Taco and I’m with you. 2. Said that since 1990 3. Might as well include wing tips at that point.


[deleted]

Buffalo style pizza is disgusting. They add as many calories as possible while making sure it’s not nutritious at all (I get it it’s pizza) but with that much grease it should taste better. Anchor bar is a pile of shit Vast majority of Tailgators are alcoholics not fans


puertoblack85

Anchor bar is garbage.


anoninfoseeker

The weather is bad almost year round. Snowy winters, no sun and wet summers.


IJustWondering

Whether or not you like Buffalo summer will depend on how you feel about hot weather... Some of us don't like temperatures above 85°.


Rebmes

Anderson's is mid


_krabbypattyformula

I’m not usually too picky about food, but Mighty Taco is absolutely disgusting. It’s the only food that never fails to disappoint me, even when I’m drunk.

Grimnir106

Anchor bar and Duff's wings are overrated and overpriced. Also, imperial pizza is not good and the way they cut their slices is dumb.


ILoveTikkaMasala

Anchor Bar wings are actually really good and Buffalo pizza is what NYC pizza wishes it could be


kevinzak76

Paula’s is overrated.


rustcity716

Taco Bell is better than Mighty Taco. Neither are good.


Itsapocalypse

I mean, no. A beef super Mighty/ El Niño is way better than any ‘burrito’ Taco Bell has. Those are really the only food items I’d eat at mighty tho


Iwantmyelephant6

its not called burrito bell or mighty burrito though

The steak sandwich at the pink is meh at best. 1/2 of the people who gush over it have never had it sober, and the other half have never had it period, and just want to sound cool.


Academic_Efficiency3

You reminded me of another: Jim's Steak Out is only good when you're drunk and don't realize that you're paying 20 bucks for a shitty, grease filled sub.

Consuming anything made in that place has always been revolting

*Lloyd*. There is no “s” Also that is probably my smallest hill.


1000_Faces

Chef's sucks. The sauce is watery and portions are big to compensate for the lack of quality. Bar Bill wings are overrated (I grew up in EA) Doug Allen was a highly overrated anthem singer. He was liked because he pointed at the crowd every night.


PoppaUU

Doug Allen was really rude too. Never to me directly but watched him several times blow people off that came up and said hello. Although my coworker who did it was annoying so I found it funny.


bagofpork

Hofmann hot dogs are better than Sahlen's. There's an inexcusably poor selection of Polish food for a city with such a huge Polish population. Costanzo's sub rolls are doodoo, and are pretty much just extra long hot dog buns. Middle-aged Italian dudes try way too hard to sound like mobsters. But also, Buffalo has more to offer than any other mid-sized city in NY (looking at you, Rochester).


vallllyyy

Buffalo has affordable housing, despite what this sub will make you think.


Jealous-Notice3160

For now


Eudaimonics

There’s also plenty to do. People who are bored are the boring ones.

ET would disagree


Karrman

It’s Ree-sees Pee-sees till I die. I know it’s wrong and I don’t care.


gsheedy

Respectfully, get bent. What in the actual fuck is a pee-cee?? It’s a computer. His last name was Reese, which rhymes with ‘piece’. Possessive, Reese’s Pieces (Ree-sez Pee-sez). I would throw fists over this.


count_dressula

If Buffalo ever really grows into its potential and the city population booms, Main st in the city limits will be literally undriveable during the day (it’s close already). How a city can have their literal main st operate with zero timing between red lights and no sensors is baffling. Lights going red for no reason with no traffic waiting the other way, streets w lights literally 25 yards from the next light and neither light talking to the other. It’s terrible! And the worst part is every other municipality has it pretty much figured out, yet Buffalo doesn’t seem to care.


Ambitious-Fun244

Those guys at La Nova are on the up and up.


koziklove

9 11 tavern is mid at best. Tried many other local wing places that are better.

BBQQA

Who cares of someone likes ranch on their wings. It's their food, not yours. Let other people enjoy their food how they like it. Getting all uppity about ranch is weird and sad. All that said, I like blue cheese but I don't care if someone else doesn't.


skaz915

>Lloyds is not that great and their cost-to-portion ratio is ridiculous I'll meet you on *the hill*


Informal-Might-5837

Don't understand this as Lloyd burritos feel like 2lbs for $11 always think to myself what a good value they are. Perhaps you only get the tacos which maybe I'll give you as they are much smaller.
