![]() ![]() You can see that yellow grease in the picture above.Įric said the wings were good, but they weren’t the “best he’s ever had”. The pizza at La Nova was a little more greasy, maybe partly due to the good number of pepperoni they threw on. This also could have been because we couldn’t wait for it to cool down to dig in. The crust here was a little thinner but it was topped with the same amount of cheese, which oozed off of the pizza like crazy. The verdict: not as good as our first pizza stop of the day, Deniro’s. We ordered a small cheese and pepperoni, and Eric also ordered a side of the wings. ![]() We decided to sit down and eat, since we didn’t feel like just bringing a couple of slices back to our hotel, and we wanted to see some more of the local scene (which included a homeless woman on drugs coming into the pizza place every 15 minutes to harass the customers and staff). For a Friday night, the place had a huge delivery wait line, and plenty of people who stopped in for slices. It was clear when we were there that La Nova has a huge local following, even with all of the other pizza places around Buffalo. Not surprisingly, it also claims to have some of the best wings in Buffalo. The whole restaurant has a very 50’s-vibe, with red tables and walls and old pictures everywhere. It probably looked exactly the same back then as it did when we stopped in for dinner. It claims to be the largest independent pizzeria in the US (although I don’t think they’ve updated their website because the last time we checked, it was only ranked at #20). La Nova has been around since 1957, which is pretty impressive. Our second pizza stop in Buffalo was at La Nova. The good part of timing the trip like this, though, was that there were very few people at the park and we had great views of the snowy falls! We didn’t stay there too long, because it was cold and windy, and more importantly, we had more pizza to eat! There really isn’t too much to do around Buffalo, aside from visiting the Falls. The last two places on this mini-road-trip coming up next week!Īfter our first pizza stop, we headed up to Niagara Falls. But Eric enjoyed them the next night for dinner and said they held up pretty well.Īfter lunch, we hit the road to head down to Cleveland. These Buffalo pizzas are heavy! (And the baby bump in the photo on the left means that I don’t have as much space for pizza anymore to begin with). ![]() We didn’t quite finish this pizza either and had to take some leftover slices to go in the car. We thought it was really similar to the slab pizzas that we had in Maine. It was just as heavy on the cheese as the first two, but the sauce was a bit sweeter and the crust was fluffy without being overwhelming. This ended up being our favorite pizza place in Buffalo. We were not surprised to see that they also serve wings but unfortunately we didn’t get to try them. We ordered a half size, topped with half meatballs (honestly, we were getting a bit tired of pepperoni). Here, you can order a full or a half pizza, which is nice. It still seems to have most of its business as a take-out pizzeria because the only seating area is a few stools at a high counter along the far wall. In the 1980’s, it became the first restaurant to offer take-out pizza in Buffalo. It originally was a bocce ball club, with courts in the yard and sandwiches and drinks inside. After we checked out of our hotel, we drove down to Bocce Club Pizza and got there right at noon when it opened.īocce Club Pizza was opened even before La Nova, in 1946, when the owner bought a pizza oven after WWII. We saved the highest ranked Buffalo pizza place for last. ![]()
