Pizza Plant Italian Pub (Pizza Plant) is a pizzeria offering specialty pies, bread bowl salads, pasta, and sandwiches in a casual setting. Serving the Buffalo area since 1980, it is perhaps best known for its pods. Pizza Plant has vegan and vegetarian menu options. It also has its own, homemade, gluten-free flour. I was at Pizza Plant over the Labour Day weekend with my family. I had a âHawaiian Pieâ for $11.99 and it was fantastic (a tropic blend of juicy pineapple, tender ham, mozzarella, and sauce). A small pizza, like what I had, is nine inches in diameter. Look for Pizza Plant at 7770 Transit Road in the New York State community of Williamsville. One of two pizzerias owned and managed by the Syracuse brothers, it is open daily from 11:00 in the morning until 11:00 at night (12:00 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays and 10:00 at night on Sundays). Pizza Plant offers table service (indoor and outdoor) as well as takeaway service. Note that the pizzeria does not take reservations. Amenities include an on-site bar, live music, highchairs, wireless Internet Access (free), and washrooms. Service is exceptional. Pizza Plant accepts all major credit cards. Parking is free on site.

Everyone in Buffalo, NY, knows that one of best sports bars in town is Santora's Pizza Pub & Grill. The Transit Road location features 42 different taps to enjoy while you watch the game on one of the 110-inch TVs studded throughout the restaurant, and wh

We happened to go here the same day due to it's close proximity to our hotel... I'd give it a 4 1/2 for lunch and 3 1/2 for dinner.First off, it's a sports bar, so I wouldn't recommend taking little ones past say 5 or 6. The menu is EXTENSIVE. Almost a little too big... during lunch we were trying to figure out which combo we wanted, and felt rushed because you have to flip back and forth through the menu. It took about 20+ minutes for us to decide, and lunch specials end at 2. Granted, we were exhausted due to the nature of our stay in Buffalo, so maybe we were just a bit overwhelmed.They offer traditional American entrees, pastas, pizzas, bomber sandwiches, an extensive salad menu, soups, apps... probably more I've forgotten about.We decided on a salad/pizza combo, and pasta/soup. Minestrone was very good, salad was, well, a regular green salad but fresh (beware... there's an upcharge for salad dressing... huh????), pizza was thin, crispy, and decent sauce, and lasagna pretty good, although basic. They DO use fresh herbs though.Went back for a small pizza during the "big" hockey game. Our waitress was a little slow, place was so loud we couldn't talk, and bathrooms trashed. Of course, that's to be expected at 10pm during a game. But the QUALITY of the pizza went from a 9 to a 4. Undercooked, sauce all on one side and cheese on the other, and just kinda gross.So, I guess it's a hit or miss. I don't expect an establishment of the like to be quiet during a hockey game in Buffalo, NY, LOL, but I DO expect quality food.

I really enjoy their food. Friendly service, great buffalo atmosphere. My only complaint is that they do not except card, but that is certainly not stopping me from frequenting this place

We were here for a birthday celebration and had a private room. The appetizers were set up and drinks served by very attentive staff. Salvatore himself oversaw our party for most of the evening and even prepared my wife and her mothers food himself. The whole of the hotel, bars and rooms are beautifully designed and appointed with the bar having a very welcoming atmosphere We would defiantly come here again. Our food was piping hot and the steaks were cooked to perfection Overall a great experience

My family went there for dinner this week and had another great meal. For the first time, I had the eggplant Parmesan, which was undoubtedly the best eggplant Parm I've ever had! One of my kids had the pork chops, which are always top notch, and my other son had the Angus burger. The chef was even able to prepare a dairy-free chicken dinner for my wife, who is allergic to dairy.A shout-out to Sandy our waitress, who did an excellent job!!

This was our fifth visit to this restaurant this year and it just gets better. The food was all excellent and my personal favorite was the calamari appetizer which was NOT served in the usual breaded and fried manner. It was served in a tomato soup/sauce ( not sure how to describe it) which was slightly spicy and it left me wanting more even though the serving was generous. My wife had the special which was a pasta with pesto and shrimp. Fortunately she couldn't eat it all so I helped. It was delicious. The place is not big and only open four days a week and a 25 minute ride for us but well worth it

The Royal Pizza and Italian Bistro, Inc., located on the right side of Main Street in Clarence, when heading toward the town of Akron. Our second visit to this one-story venue did not disappoint as there are so many offerings of an exceptional variety of food selections in a surprisingly unassuming space. Parking is in the rear or directly on Main Street. The entryway is a single door that takes you directly into a small front dining area to the right and directly to the left is a counter that serves for take-out business with a lit menu board. Having dined at this restaurant in the past, we knew that we wanted to sit in the back dining area, which is again small with four, 4-top tables. A friendly team member brought us toward the back, handed us our menus and asked for our beverage selections (two fountain drinks â sierra mist and diet soda for $1.30 each). A friendly team member brought us toward the back, handed us our menus and asked for our beverage selections (two fountain drinks â sierra mist and diet soda for $1.30 each). As we remembered, the menu is really large with appetizers, classic pizza, gourmet pizza, calzones & Stromboli, wraps, soups, salads, chicken wings & fingers, fish dinners, Royal pasta specialties, baked pasta, Royal Pizza family pasta packs, old fashioned submarines, subs from the grill, burgers and lunch specials, dinner specialties, kids menu, everyday specials, and desserts â WOW!!. There are also Royal Pizza family pasta packs and Royal Pizza family dinner packs that can serve 4-6 for takeout. I ordered Chicken Francese @ $13.99 (boneless chicken sautéed and baked with spinach, prosciutto, mozzarella, and topped with a lemon butter sauce) and I selected a side of fettuccini Alfredo, and mushroom soup. My companion ordered the Veal Parmigiana @ $14.99 (lightly breaded veal pan fried, baked with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese) with pasta and red sauce and broccoli cheese soup. Shortly our server returned with a small basket of two warm Italian bow knot rolls and two large bowls of soup in white dinnerware. The soups were extremely hot (excellent!) and they were both absolutely delicious and filling. Our dinners only took about 15 minutes to prepare and they were plated on angular white dinnerware. My Chicken Francese was delicious and really hot (excellent!) with two large tender portions of chicken, topped in plenty of fresh spinach, a lot of prosciutto, topped with the mozzarella cheese and lemon butter sauce, and an oval plate of Fettuccini Alfredo. This meal was excellent. My companionâs meal was equally appealing â really hot (excellent!), two portions of veal and side of pasta. The server was very attentive as she checked on us several times to refill out beverages and to clear our plates. We asked to two takeout containers to bring home the remainder of our meals. The restrooms are located along the back of dining area, however, the hallway is very narrow and the restrooms are very small - absolutely not accessible. In summary, I continue to highly recommend The Royal Pizza and Italian Bistro especially if you are looking to have a comprehensive sit-down home style meal for a reasonable price - our bill came to $22.58 with the Entertainment Coupon deducted. This venue definitely fits the definition of cozy dining, the staff terrific and attentive, the food is excellent, but it is not accessible for all patrons.

When we visited Clarence, NY, our friends told us that we needed to try authentic Buffalo wings. We were in town to shoot an episode of "On The Road With The XJ2 Crew" at Niagara Falls. I wanted to give my YouTuber sons a new experience, so we ordered wings to go.We were not disappointed. We ordered the mild wings, since some people in our family did not like food that was really spicy. When we got home, the wings were hot, slightly crispy, and tender on the inside. It was the sauce that really made it special. We had different dipping sauces to choose from, and we tried them all.No one should miss out on these delicacies when visiting the area!

With my best friend permanently leaving WNY for Florida the wife and I took him and his gf out to dinner at Orazios. I was nervous since there were LOTS of cars parked on Main St. but we easily found a spot in their parking lot.I was very disappointed that the web site menu I checked just before we left home was NOT the same menu I was given at the table. Since the Italian sausage I craved was not to be had I ordered the ravioli while the other 3 went with the steak. My ravioli was delicious and the portion was large. The steak eaters did not fair so well as they complained about it being "tough". The waiter failed to refill our water glasses but otherwise did a nice job. I loved my ravioli but for those prices the steaks could have been a lot better.
