“I like this Branca location best. It's a nice atmosphere but also not too elite fancy. For me I enjoyed the variety of appetizers better than my entree but it was all pretty good too. The pasta had a different texture from what I'm used to but I think it was the sauce. Also our server was very nice and attentive.“
“Google must be giving out "local guide" status to anyone because Anthony Viscusi is horribly misinformed and possibly blind. The dough at pontillos is NOT frozen. The staff at pontillos makes the dough fresh every morning. There is an entire room in the corner of the dining area with glass walls where employees make the dough. In fact if you come in early enough, usually just after opening, you can watch them make the dough through the glass for yourself. Please remove Anthony Viscusi from being a local guide as he is obviously a terrible critic.“
“Oh my god theyve got some GOOOOOD vegan cheese here. Get the garlic knots.Vegetarian options: Vegan so totally vegetarian friendly. Their fake meats are pretty good. Overall a good experience.Kid-friendliness: They hang up drawings kids had made for them. Theres a book nook for them to read from.“
“Arguably one of the best restaurants in Rochester! I've been here twice so far and every time it's a wonderful experience. The food is unreal and the ambiance of the restaurant is incredibly well done. Can't wait for our next visit.“
“Peels On Wheels does great vegan pizza! The toppings are extremely high quality. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but they had this kind of sundried sweet red bell pepper that was out of this world. I had that New York style with shallots, banana pepper rings, and vegan pepperoni. The owner works in the kitchen alongside his employees and really cares about producing superior pizza. Their pies are so much better than what you'll get ordering from a chain!“
“They use decent ingredients compared to other take out style pizza places. Prices are competative. To get better pizza you need to go to a mid priced Italian restaurant. If u want to eat in there are a few tables, it's not just take out.“
“Been to the Pizza Shoppe several times in the past month and a half. Let’s start with service. Fast, friendly and fantastic. I got my pizza nice and hot each time and my chocolate chip cookies were to die for. Seriously, maybe the best I have ever had.I have had several different varieties of this Detroit Style Pizza and it is second to none. It is now my go to for Pizza without a doubt.I also love the small pizza shoppe atmosphere not like one these chain pizza shops that has no personality. It was quiet and pleasant to just take a seat and enjoy my pizza. Hoping to try their chicken parmigiana in the near future.I don’t give many 5 star reviews, however this was an easy one to write.Great Job to your team at The Pizza Shoppe.“
“Strangebird is a beautiful space and was bursting with energy when I stopped in for dinner. The decor reminded me of NYC or San Francisco, inspired design. The beers on tap are not your ordinary IPAs although they have a few of those. Sours, Belgians, and other interesting brews. I took home Mount Hope which is a lager with Pinot Noir grapes. I enjoyed the beers I tried, it pays to experiment. The food for me was decent, I opted for the smash-burger, which was serviceable, but the pizza looks like a good option. I would return to Strangebird. Outstanding service at the bar.“
“Love this place , I will definitely come back. Im so excited to find such an awesome pizza place and the staff are so amazing. I always love coming I live about 20 minutes away and it's definitely worth the drive when I have a pizza (or calzone) craving. I can't find anywhere that even comes close. I'm definitely a customer for life!!!Dietary restrictions: They have everything, GF, vegan , vegetarian. They are very accommodating.“
“I've ordered pizza from Perinton Pizza for years and they have always been excellent and very prompt. So tonight I was surprised when my pizza still hasn't arrived after half hour after the approximate delivery time. Turns out the workers finishing up working at my house accepted my order and kept it! Perinton Pizza promptly made and sent out a replacement order to us. Thank you Perinton Pizza! Our dinner was, as always, excellent.“
“The food is outstanding. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and prepare the simple dishes with care. I've had the creative pizzas and salads a few times, and my husband gets the sandwiches. It never disappoints! It's a fast casual experience with a very small dining area, so consider takeout as your best option if you have a larger party. A great addition to the N. Winton Village and the Rochester food scene!“
“I've had pizza at restaurants, bars, food trucks, venues, and many, many random places. Not only locally, but every where in my travels. I was never a fan of deep dish style pizzas - I'm a true NY thin pizza lover. You know what I'm talking about. The kind you fold like a taco and you have to do the "lean over" as you take a bite, so the oil doesn't drip from the pepperoni cups down your hands and all over yourself - Mmmm. Then...that came to a halting stop when I stepped foot in "Pizza Wizard". Their pizza is almost addictive. That crust ! OMG that crust !! FYI - They did get the 'Best Pizza' award in the Rochester "City" magazine. KUDO's Pizza Wizard, now can you please make a 'Crust' flavored pizza, because the flavor of the crust alone should have have a spot light. To everyone else, you need to check it out for yourself - I don't care if you're not a deep dish style pizza lover, just try it.“
“This posh place stays busy, so just remember to make a reservation unless you want to eat at the bar! Now, everything I ordered was big and too much! Had leftovers for days!!! ?The ceiling is exposed, the cocktails are strong, and the menu is niche! Dimly lit, you can access this restaurant from outside or inside of Village Gate. And don't forget the food is delicious! My falafel was a bit overcooked, but hey... ??♀️“
“Classic neighborhood family owned pizza joint. As a Fairport guy, missed their awesome pizza for almost 20 years until family members relocated back to Fairport. Every visit now I try to order a pizza to take back to Syracuse with me. Our daughter’s family is starting to wonder if the reason for our visit is so I can grab another TK’s - ?!“

“We had our wedding reception at the Railroad Street Beer Hall and it was everything we could’ve ever hoped for, and more! Nikki, the event coordinator, was amazing from the start. She was happy and willing to accommodate any and every request we had. She was always 3 steps ahead of us, and made sure everything went off without a hitch- and it did! Reception planning can be very stressful, and Nikki really helped make it a fun and relaxed experience for us. The staff during the party was phenomenal, especially the bartender! So many of our guests commented on how fun and kind the staff was during our party! The food was also fantastic, and the atmosphere ensured that everyone had a wonderful time. We are so grateful for Rohrbachs and the wonderful people that work there - I would (and have) recommend having an event here to anyone! It was the perfect place, and will forever be a special spot for us. We had so much fun we wish we could do it again! Laurel & Julie“
“Very relaxing atmosphere. Employees are relaxed and seem to enjoy bar humor. Food was very good. We had buffalo chicken dip. Omg! Yes! Wings. Yup. Worth it! Loaded Cajun fries and beef on a wick. Now, i will say tbat most are right, it is a little dry but, when you add the juice they provide its AMAZING! I will also say that the restaurant should give a bigger (or 2 of the current size) ajus for a regular beef an a wick. Recommended. Ohhh and the beer is green for st Patty's!!“
“A great dinner at Fiorella tonight. A cozy spot by the public market, this went under our radar for a long time until some friends recommended we give it a try.The food was incredible (for the most part), as well as the service. We came unbeknownst to us on gnocchi night (Thursdays), and the pizza special was meatball which we had to try. My main, the sausage and polenta, was absolutely delicious. I watched a lot of the chicken cutlet dishes come out while we were waiting and was wondering if I made the wrong choice, but I definitely didn't. Next time I'll definitely give the cutlets a try.Dessert was also killer. The lemon cookies with a scoop of the sweet cream gelato were incredible.One downside and what I am seeing on other reviews that I can corroborate is the Cacio e Pepe was just bland pasta and some cheese. Visually this dish looked amazing so I'm not sure how it missed on flavor so bad. A minor blemish on an overall wonderful dinner.Can't wait to come back here.“
“Excellent meal last night. We dine here 4-5 times yearly, we enjoy Italian/American and it's always superb. Our meal on Friday during Lent was another winner. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were very big as always. Our server Samantha was spot on, not only with serving but her suggestion to me was great. My wife had Codfish Picatta and I had the Seafood Chippino. So good, my wife took home 1 whole piece of the two served of Cod and I had plenty of leftovers from a bowl loaded with delicious seafood. Many things make this place a must go; great food, nice atmosphere, big bar, white linen tablecloths and napkins etc. Prices are very reasonable as are drinks. Little thinks like our server taking our leftovers to wrap instead of bringing us containers to do it ourselves and the owner (Donna) being on hand to insure our satisfaction means a lot to us as frequent diners of many establishments and kind of sends Perlo's to the top echelon. I guarantee with their extensive menu, you will not be disappointed.“
“1st time at Nino's & our pizza was delicious. I do enjoy great food & music from hole in the wall, family places like Nino's. He made a special pizza for my mom & it was so crispy, & delicious, loaded with toppings that we enjoyed it to quickly for pictures. Thanks again:)“
“The pizza at Montesano's is excellent. I order on a weekly basis and it's always on point cooked just right. The owner is awesome and very attentive to customers. Located right next to the falls and Lehigh valley trails makes the perfect scenery to stop by and get a pie!“
“Title: Taking Toddlers for Italian! While dining with toddlers is always a messy experience my daughter and I were in the mood for our FAVORITE Italian food. Proietti’s is family run and they always make you feel welcome. They hurried our service along to accommodate our little people who were a hit. Multiple patrons said how cute they were and stopped to visit with them. The food is OUTSTANDING! Huge portions and delicious flavors. We called it a night shortly after the 1 year old started sucking spaghetti straight off the table with his face. Needless to say he loved it too.Did I mention they use a paper liner over their white table cloths? Now you know why. As always I can’t wait to go back for more chicken French!!“
“Love this place. Wings and burgers are exceptional. In fact, wings are some of the best in the area. Haven’t tried the pizza yet but everyone loves it. Reasonable prices. Service is top notch. Great atmosphere. Fun people. A good place to watch the game.and have a few drinks.“
“First, the food took its sweet time getting to us and the meal timing was off. My guest received their meal 13 minutes prior to mine. The food is absolutely delicious and the service/hostess/waitress were extremely nice. I love the Lost Meatball Ragu pasta dish but it’s a bit pricey at $22.00. All in all, a great experience. Perhaps they can tune things up a bit and work on those price-points. 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Great little place, stopped in for lunch with a friend and we had an excellent time. Ruben was very good with thinly sliced lean corn beef. Ordered the Garbanzo Bean Salad which was a great alternative to fries! Wedge salad was basic but good. Wait staff was helpful and nice.“
“I ordered a pizza and wings last night and left an honest and fair review on #Doordash the restaurant went in and changed it. My review: The pizza arrived hot and was as good as always plentiful toppings. The Wings were good very meaty although the sauce was uninspiring. I posted a photo of the foods let's just say the picture of pizza wasn't beautiful, the toppings had shifted during delivery the wings look really goo. The dishonesty of Cams is sad.“
“First of all, I love their pizza. On my top 3 list. What was so special was that they helped us with my daughter's gender reveal. Also because the owner made the pizza himself for this occasion and used the sauce to make a G for a girl. All the staff came out to help us with this celebration and they were all so kind and thoughtful. They said it was the first time they ever did a gender reveal and on the spot too. Let's not make it the last!“
“We love JoJo - food is always delicious and the atmosphere is awesome. But please get your servers some help!! Our server was literally running. She had way too many tables and was also behind the bar making drinks. Needless to say, service was very slow. We still love JoJo’s but management needs to reorganize the serving staff before customers go elsewhere.“
“I used to frequent the other cam's by east and Alex before the pandemic hit and swept it away. I used to love it as it reminded me of nj boardwalk pizza . I finally stopped into this other location and got my two favorite slices and a drink for 10 bucks. Still love it and this isn't a bad deal these days! The guy behind thel counter was incredibly friendly too. I'll be back to top up my punch-card until I get some free stuff! ?“
“Best Reuben I have ever eaten, and I am definitely a Reuben snob!! Service was great and everybody in our group of 6 from Alabama loved their food! We all wanted to go back but didn’t find the time during our limited time in Rochester. Highly recommend!!“
“I have weekly dinner dates with my son, we order pizza and wings and play golden tee while we wait for our food. The food is always great, the service is quick and the staff treats my kid like he's another one of the dudes.Unfortunately it only took a couple weeks for him to start beating me in golden tee!“
“Great local pizza place. Really love their buffalo chicken calzone! Not only is it just spicy enough, but they make some of the biggest calzones around, packed full with juicy buffalo chicken. Their pizzas are also really good. The only thing that sucks is having to drive all the way to Mendon for this terrific food. Very much wish the Victor location was still open!“
“Gluten free pizza and mocktails! What a fun place for food and drinks! They have a wood oven they make all their pizzas in, minus the gluten free. Gluten free is prepared and cooked separately to reduce cross contamination. Be prepared to wait +20 minutes for a gf pizza. I ordered the pizza special on the gluten free crust. Not bad! It's a bit thicker (not full Detroit but not NYC thin). Overall, not bad. I would order it again, but this wouldn't be my first choice for a GF pizza. The crust fine, a little dense and premade. They have a couple of fun mocktail options that aren't some overpriced lemonade junk. I would recommend going for the atmosphere and drinks (alcoholic or not). I'm excited to see what else I can try on the menu. The staff are so friendly and helpful! All my questions were answered and it was so fun watching everyone cook at the pizza oven! Street parking and small lot for customers, both free.“
“Double date night! Wedge salad was excellent. A little heavy on the crumbled blue cheese and creamy blue. My boyfriend had the house salad to start and an iced tea. Split a funghi pizza with double chicken Vanilla crème brûlée to top off the night with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I also had the basil martini. I don't typically drink. I wanted to try something new. It was phenomenal. Our friends had the Risotto and Chicken Marsala. A few glasses of wine later and they had a great time and meal. The service was prompt. It was a busy Saturday night around 7pm. We will be back soon for another yummy dinner! No pictures this time around. We were enjoying time with our friends.“
“I judge every restaurant by their Caesar salad….they passed the test! Also, HIGHLY recommend the Fig Blossom cocktail. The balance of flavors was perfect. It was very refreshing & laid back. Not overwhelming with sweetness or acidity. Made for a great double date! It’s very busy & noisy, which isn’t my favorite, but it’s clear that they are a hit with locals!“
“The people were incredibly nice and the pizza was great. Recommend trying the Dill Pickle Pizza if you like pickles. It's a lot of pickles so you have to really like pickles. If you don't really like pickles I would get a different type of pizza. I can't emphasize enough how many pickles are on the dill pickle pizza.“
“Moved to the area over 3 years ago and tried the BBQ chicken pizza the first night from here and knew we’d never have to go far for a good pizza again. Good wings too and they have great slices as well. Highly recommend for dinner or lunch.“
“Visited the Rabbit Hole Tavern tonight after hearing rave reviews and it did not disappoint! My chicken sandwich was probably the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I highly recommend visiting here if you are looking for a fantastic meal! We will definitely be back!“
“A bit overhyped. "The best in Rochester" I've heard a few times.Only thing preference wise I wasn't a fan of was the sauce and dough. Tasted bland. The cheese and pepperoni were great and cooked well. Smokes Pontillo's and Salvatore's off the map.8 outta 10“
“Old school corner store vibe. Great place to grab a slice, sub, or just some quick grocceries. THE BEST BREAKFAST PIZZA! I like to consider myself a breakfast pizza condesure. I would say I am the breakfast pizza equivalent to Dave Portnoy and cheese pizza. Clawsons is the best!! They sell as slices, but I buy a full pie as they tend to run out as it is a hot item (also they usually only have breakfasts slices in the am). Hope this helps. Enjoy!!!“
“We had Mozzeroni cater our basketball banquet. The food was delicious and it we didn't have much food left. Their customer service was wonderful. I will use them again and again to cater any event that we are going to throw in the future.“
“A friend and I tried this restaurant for the first time last night and had a great experience. In addition to their extensive menu, they have a great vegan menu. Our food was prepared quickly and we both enjoyed our meals. The portions were so generous we were able to take home leftovers. The atmosphere is pleasant and the location is convenient to Eastman Theatre, where we attended a concert afterwards. I highly recommend Strombolis. They've been in business for 30 years and I can see why!“
“Stopped in for Easter Bread. Had to sample all of the baked goods! Best Italian bakery goods in Rochester area and the owner, Vinny, treats you like family. All baked goods made fresh on site from scratch. Have not tasted Italian cookies this good since I was in NYC!“
“Never had a bad meal at Pub 235! As a family, many dishes have been tried. And it's noteworthy to mention that they the kids menu was just as carefully prepared for the kids as the adults. Sometimes that is not the case at restaurants.“
“My daughter is from NYC and loves coming here when she is home. Cozy cute little place with the best food! We had cheese and broccoli soup with chicken salad on toasted croissant. Delish! We ordered chi latte with spice added in. Very affordable, highly recommend!“
“Had been there a few times in the past. However this time was for Pi day. The staff was well prepared for the rush and had a nice flow going. The only issue was their registers froze. However we're able to get them up and running within 10 mins. Not something they could control. Pizza is amazing. So many options, sauce, cheeses and toppings. As well as topping sauces. Good fountain drink options and others for kiddos.Vegetarian options: They offer vegan cheese options as well as crust too (cauliflower esp)Dietary restrictions: Offer gluten free crust options, as well as the above mentioned.Wheelchair accessibility: The doorway can be tight if a lot of people but a wheelchair should be able to move with some ease.“
“We live right up the road from Linas, and have had slushes and ice cream in the summer, but never ordered food. On the suggestion of our neighbor, we tried the Wednesday Wings special. The wings were delicious~cooked perfectly, nice size and great sauce. But what really impressed me was the side salad!! I ordered a small salad for $3.99, and expected a small salad, lettuce, tomato maybe a slice of cucumber. What I got was a good sized salad (I thought maybe I got the large by mistake!), with fresh lettuce, sliced green pepper, many slices of cucumber, tomato and shredded cheese! Fresh, delicious good salad for a low price!! Can't wait to go back and try some of the other food on their menu!!! Highly recommend!“
“The absolute best pizza I've had around the East Rochester area, if not in Rochester alone! Not going to even start with appetizers or calzones because those are delicious and just tantalizing just to look at. They have huge garbage/trash plates as well which is more than enough to feed two people each. Makes my mouth water just to talk about it. I love the food and the atmosphere. The only downfall to this pizza shop, not being spread across the country, because man oh man that food is top notch. The wing sauces varieties they have are a masterpiece in itself. Please try them out. You're missing out if you don't. The prices are accommodating and the friendly environment makes you feel like family. Customer service is top notch as well. Willing to meet anyone's needs or wants to make your experience delightful.Kid-friendliness: So nice and friendly to any and all children who came in. They were extremely happy to be there.“
“A group of 10 of us (6 adults 4children) stopped in for a quick dinner. There was very short line. We were able to order quickly. We ordered 1 pizza for every 2 of us (that's 5 pizzas), along with 2 orders of wings. The pizzas were done very quickly and everyone liked their pizza and the wings. We then had a scoop of hard ice cream each and it too was delicious. The staff were all very feiendly. We all really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back whenever in the area. Highly recommend.“
“Love love love! While my family orders from Two Ton Tony's, I order from New Ethic, and I'm never disappointed. I feel lucky to have such a great option for dairy free pizza- and their milkshakes are incredible too! Matt and Kathy are great along with the teens who work there. Quality control is on point, and last time... I couldn't decide between a traditional pizza and my favorite- the pickle pizza. It's sooooo good!! I highly recommend New Ethic. You're treated like family if you're a regular, and I always look forward to going there. The dining room is back open as well!! :-) Go try it, even if you're not vegan. You won't be disappointed!!Dietary restrictions: I'm so grateful for a dairy free option nearby!! Woot!“
“You should just see how busy this place gets on a weekend and rightfully so. These guys rock when it comes to pizza. they have alot of people working inside and are ready to take to your order either by phone or in-person. I tried the buffalo chicken pizza as it was recommended to me by alot of people in the Rochester area and it didn't let down...wow. I cannot wait to come back down and have some real pizza where they are not afraid to go heavy on everything. I wish more pizzerias in Canada could take notes ?(Ps we don't have platter sizes up here and it breaks my heart)Thank you everyone & see you soon“
