Pizza Wizard · Village Gate
Yelp 2024/2025 #1. Minimal menu, Detroit-style thick squares, crispy-edged and cheese-to-the-walls.
Ardor Park Artisanal Pizza · Park Avenue
The craft-Neapolitan end of the Rochester scene. Naturally-leavened dough, quality toppings, small menu.
Joe's Brooklyn Pizza Brighton · Pittsford
Thin, foldable NY-style slices. The out-of-town-friends-visiting order. Multiple locations across the suburbs.
Nino's Pizzeria · Greece
Old-school neighborhood slice joint on the Greece side. A long-running local favorite. The Yelp top 10 regular.
Guida's Pizzeria · Irondequoit
Rochester-hometown classic. A Pontillo's/Mark's-era institution carrying the Rochester sheet-pizza tradition.
