50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Rochester

“First time back to Chortke after the remodel. Loved the menu and the beautiful new look. The food was delicious and our server, Josh, was personable and professional. It was a pleasure to dine there.“

“Shared a pizza and a salad on a date night out. Salad wasn't the one we originally ordered but it was okay. Pizza was solid. Unique area. (Village Gate) Service was excellent. If we weren't in a hurry we'd probably have reserved early and ate at standard table instead of the higher chairs near the bar.“

“We live around the corner so get food here a lot. Apps are good but the pizza is amazing. Our favorites are the Smoked Kielbasa and The Charmander. The crust is probably the best I have ever had! Please bring back the Bolognese pizza as a regular item… it’s out of this world!! I would pay extra for it.“

“Everything was awesome. Steak sandwich, pizza, wings, drinks ….. and a cookie ta boot!“

“The best pizza I've ever tasted in Rochester and nearby areas. It's worth every penny. You can feel the good quality of the products.Definitely my new favorite pizza spot. Continue with the tremendous service and your good quality products.“

“Excellent food! The Plate, the wings, the garlic knots, the shakes—all amazing! Super friendly people working there as well! Five stars. Can’t wait to go back“

“Delicious pizza and friendly staff!“

“Great food , Friendly staff !“

“Food was good. Had wings and beef on weck. Service was not good. Sat at a booth in the bar area. This was a Saturday at 4pm. Not busy at all. Took 15 minutes for a waitress to even acknowledge us even though there was at least 3-4 that we saw wandering around. Definitely not as good as the original, but hoping they’ll work out some of the kinks.“

“Great food, we tried the cheesy garlic sticks, slices of cup n char, meatball sandwich, chicken parm sandwich, spaghetti with eggplant balls, and of course the homemade cookies. Everything was delicious, prepared fresh, all staff and the owner were extremely friendly. Great new spot! Can’t wait to come back and try the Utica greens and chicken rigggies!“

“I LOVE this place. Create a pizza is my all time favorite spot. I’ve been coming here for years and I recommend it to every person I come across. Especially those with dietary restrictions. The food is always delicious, there are always friendly smiles behind the counter, and the prices are pretty unbeatable. Hands down, best pizza joint in Rochester.“

“So excellent! From delicious pizza to anything else on menu. Especially the homemade marinara sauce. Hugh portions. The best service and awesome owner Jerry. Cozy and exceptionally clean restaurant. I give it 10 stars! Try chicken parm., enough for 2 people ❤️?????“

“Hands down, the best pizza shop rochester has to offer!

You can tell by the insane amount of customers and cars in the lot every time you come by.

even through all the busy times they get your order correct and done quickly.

I don't shop anywhere else for my pizza from here. I always recommend them to people anytime the topic comes up.

Carbones knows what they're doing, and they do it well.

They also serve slice deals throught lunch time. My family loves carbones!“

“Incredible food will definitely be back“

“I ordered a Turkey, Bacon, and Gouda panini for lunch today. To say it was excellent is an understatement. I saved half for later and even reheated it maintained its flavor and texture. I will definitely be back.“

“Erin is outstanding! She made our Blaze experience amazing. Thank you Erin G.reat service. Great food“

“Their food is always on point and is so delicious cannot go wrong with this place“

“Best pizza in Rochester it’s my second time ordering from them and I will highly recommend it and the owner is so nice very welcoming. I ordered a white Bianca with pepperoni. “

“Always excellent!!!! A true gem in the neighborhood! Doesn’t get any better then this.“

“Nino's is the real deal. Nino & his son run this modest pizzeria just as you would experience in Italy, Sicily, New York, Boston etc. While the shop has a no-frills atmosphere, the quality of the pizza is first class for a reasonable price. First, the dough & crust are excellent and cooked just right. The sauce is very good, if you want it spicer, just ask or order with sausage. The mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms and roasted red peppers are all excellent and the weight of the pizza is double what you get from chains. We usually order a half-sheet with toppings for 3 people and always have enough left over for a second meal. Finally, Nino takes great pride in bring your pizza to the counter, opening the the lid and asks for your approval before telling you the price & accepting your money. If you want to experience authentic Italian pizza, you have to try Nino's.“

“I ordered the Buffalo Bills pizza for the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. First off, they contacted me when the game was rescheduled and offered accommodations so that I could get the pizza and bake it myself as they weren’t open on Monday when the game would be played. THEN called back again to let me know they were going to open on Monday after all and scheduled a time for me to pick up my pizza. Awesome customer service and only outdone by the delicious pizza!! Fair price as well!! I would highly recommend Savastano’s , give them a try you won’t be disappointed!!! 5 ⭐️’s“

“Amazing food, and atmosphere. Staff made our visit to the city a welcoming experience for artists. 100% recommend.“

“Great thin crust pizza, highly recommend! Can’t wait to try other menu items!“

“whether it's a huge lunch slice or an entire pizza, they are my favorite by far. Family owned and operated, clean, consistent and always fresh!“

“Had one of the best Plates I’ve ever had in Rochester last night. Keep up the great work 👌“

“This place is hopping which is always a good sign. Love the thin crust! Had the California White veggie tonight and it was great. Chicken Fingers were hot, juicy and delicious. Smaller waiting area, but the food is good and that’s really all that matters. The young man working register gets the job done. We'll be back.“

“I loved this spot for a family dinner. A full large pizza was served quickly and perfectly temperatured ready to eat. Pricing was on par with the local market. The indoor decor was simple and comfortable. Apparently the owner/manager is a popular online social media advocate for the region focused on the family business. Pretty cool overall and will definitely go to this location again.“

“We are from Michigan & have not found one local chain pizza place that actually has 'flavor'! My son & I visited here last week & were so surprised at how good the pizza slices tasted! Tasted like high quality ingredients with lots of flavor! Reasonable prices. The young girl at the counter was so sweet & accommodating, while the young man who was the manager cooked the pizza to perfection! Both were very professional & welcoming. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.“

“Love rhinos pizza and the owner is so fun to talk to. I always order pizza for bills games and she has the game up on the TV and we chat for a while. Super friendly and would recommend

Parking: There is a spot in front for about 4 cars and a huge parking lot about 50ft from the door that is always empty“

“nothing there nasty the place is nasty the food is spoiled rat infestation health department has violations food poisoning cases owner is a supposedly a Christan but a compulsive gambler“

“Family owned and operated... they always provide great tasting food and always trying out new things and that always taste great. I try to go at least once or twice a week.“

“BEST PIZZA ANYWHERE ***** !!! Dave's the best“

Parking: Right near door, at least 12 spots

“The place was really nice. Staff was friendly too. I had a pasta (Malfaldine corta) which was $14 and it was really yummy but the quantity was not enough. Also I had two cheese pizza slices and each was $5. The taste was okay but I think it was expensive. Plenty of parking available. You have to order first and then they will call your name when it is ready. Kind of Self service. Also, ice cream was available. They had two flavors chocolate and sea salt caramel but chocolate ice cream was only available on that day. A restroom was also available.“

“we got trottos Last nite ,it was perfect we had 2 large pizza 16 pieces each, 1 with just cheese the other half pepperoni and half mushrooms, it was under 26.00 dollars, best pizza ever“

“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.“

“it’s called the goner… so light and airy!“

“great food. my family and I enjoy the subs as well as the pizza!!!“

“The guys running the place are super friendly! The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend!“

“I love Pudgie’s pizza and especially their chicken wings….cooked so nice and crunchy….the customer service was great and it’s nice to dine inside again❤️“

“I had a review show up on my page a while ago. I followed up by following their page on FB. Today I couldn't put it off any longer "A LARGE CHEESE PIZZA FOR $12.00" are you kidding me. typically I like to add some toppings when ordering a pizza but I wanted to see what the bare bones have to say and by the way when they say large they mean it. It reminded me of the way it used to be instead of the large size other shops typically offer today which don't come close. I went to pick it up and when I entered the shop it immediately presented a very nice "Vibe". There were several pizzas ready with a variety of toppings for purchase by the slice. The room smelled amazing. The environment is welcoming and clean. I spoke with the woman at the counter who may have been the owner and I meant to ask but was engaged with other questions since it was my first visit. The pizza was cooked perfectly and was so flavorful I truly did not miss having other toppings added, although I am anxious to try them with my next order. As a result, I ate more than I should have and had to force myself to stop. Still we all know how nice it is to have some leftover for later. If you have not tried them yet, don't hesitate. I also notice so many other great items on their menu. Oh well so much for my weight goals.“

“We love this place!! The pizza is so good THE BEST in Gates. The delivery is always super quick and food never gets delivered cold. We always pick Caraglio's for UFC nights, would 10/10 recommend this place. They also offer grilled items such as burgers, grilled chicken, etc! The menu is extensive enough to find something for everyone in the family. Thanks Caraglio's for great service and great pizza!“

“specialty pizza was good and good crust. hot and fresh“

“First time ordering from here and was not disappointed!!! Ordered pizza and wings…. Very tasty. Also wanted to try the steak sub with r sauce delish!! I’m full, happy, and have lots of leftovers. Great food and great prices highly recommend ?“

“Literally best pizza ever, 10/10 recommend“

“Tony’s delivered pizza and wings to our family gathering in Lake Ontario Park today. I was a little nervous as I was trying to organize from Virginia and didn’t know the park or Tony’s (a Rochester relative had recommended him). Anyway Tony’s staff were so helpful when I was trying to figure out what to order, and the delicious hot food showed up in the park right on time as per our arrangement. The wonderful food and and service were greatly appreciated, and my family was very happy. Thank you Tony, see you next year, if not sooner! Nancy S.“
