good pizza/wings but...

by bflobear

i am a buffalo native. i have ordered la novas more times than i can remember: la novas has good wings, pizza and chicken fingers. they also have rude staff, inconsistent food quality, and crappy "alternative items" (e.g. eggplant parm - trust me from my experience, you're in buffalo, there are MUCH better places for dishes like this). they deliver everywhere - great. but 99% of the time i call, i get a rude, hurried individual on the phone. i get that i am probably calling when everyone else is - to the staff: its your job, deal with it. ive also been shorted wings on several occasions, sauces which i paid extra for, etc. in my opinion, there is better food and service (and cheaper prices) to be had elsewhere. just ask around (since this is not an endorsement for other area businesses).

• Pros: generally good food, open late
• Cons: inconsistent, watch the quantity, spec. order/spec requests, rude staff, pricier

Best criminal enterprize?

by deathtoliars

The pizza isn't so bad if you don't mind supporting organized crime. 'Big Joe' Todaro was ousted from construction unions following FBI investigations. So now he hoodwinks the less educated citizens of the (notoriously corrupt) city of Buffalo into gulping down his overcooked whatever. His father had an opponent gutted, shot, strangled, and burned, on a farm in Wyoming county - nice guys, huh! and a "family tradition" to be sure. Rememeber, everytime you eat here, you are paying off the mob. Why not just buy dope?

By the way the wings are terrible! - but complain and you will "sleep with the fishes". In other words: STAY AWAY!

• Pros: "offers you can't refuse"
• Cons: remember that horse's head on the producer''s bed?
