My wife and I stopped in here for lunch as she wanted to try a new pizza place. This place is cool. It has the high ceilings and the exposed duct work and feels comfortable. We went to the counter and saw the special. 2 slices and a soda (or Genny) for 8.50. Sounds perfect to try a place out. I ordered 2 pepperoni sausage and hot peppers slices and my wife ordered a pepperoni sausage and bacon slice and a garlic ricotta slice. You pay, they give you a number to put on your table, they heat up the slices an and bring them to your table. In about 3-5 minutes you have your slices. These are about as good as deep dish get. The outside was crispy with the “burnt cheese” on the outside crusts with the sauce on top of the pizza. Crispy outside, tender inside, and left me wanting another slice. I fought of that urge but I pondered it for some time. They have an area in the back with a cooler and cups for water and things like extra Parmesan cheese and hot sauce if you desire it. I like hot sauces and tried the Zebs St Louis style and it was awesome. Like a combination of a slightly spicy Jamaican Jerk seasoning. I ordered some on Amazon after I tried it. We left saying that was good pizza and next time we will order a whole pie and try it steaming hot out of the oven!

I found this hole in the wall while Doordashing for others. It's a bit off the restaurant path, but WELL worth going to. D-elicious! Deep dish pizzas in NY, and they are done right! I love their twist of putting the sauce on top as it keeps the yummy bread from getting soggy. Their red sauce, btw, is amazing. I'm pretty sure it could go on anything alone, but when added to their fresh ingredients, it is perfection. Try them out if you haven't. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This place is amazing. I usually prefer a new york style slice but these guys blew my mind . We drove over an hour to try these guys and we will most definitely be back.

The Sum Buck pizza is amazing! The crust is divine. The kale wasn't bitter and the bacon wasn't too salty. The ricotta cream was really pleasant. I personally wouldn't get the shwarma dry rub again because it was a little stronger than I expected. But I'm sure their other wing flavors are good. The actual chicken tasted good.

Pizza wizard is great! One of my favorite pizza places to go to when visiting Rochester! The dough is cooked to perfection, with a crisp bite for the crust! The sauce is out of this world and it’s extremely filling! Had this with some wings and had an amazing experience! Love this place and would recommend this to anyone!

I love pizza and since pizza wizard was voted number one I need to check out the hype. It didn’t disappoint it IS one of the best pizzas I’ve tasted in a long time. The sauce is very flavorful and the chunks of artichokes & mushroom…A#1. My pizza which was the thin slice option had mushroom, artichokes, sausage, chicken,and garlic all on red sauce base. I also tried the wings medium. The wings were meaty and well sauced. No blue cheese or ranch included which was a little disappointing. Over all I’ll be trying some more combinations. And also their square pizzas.

Great atmosphere, regular pizza is delicious. The vegan aioli sauce was delicious, the vegan pizza was mediocre, wet and lacked seasoning. I love pizza wizard the vegan pizza could use a bit more TLC maybe some garlic onion powder and sea salt. I would reccomend their non vegan items. The bread is absolutely delicious and buttery
