Desi in the front, party in the back.
Holy wow. This was one of the last spots left for us to try in the new neighborhood, and it rocketed straight to the top.
I’ll be honest—I was a little stunned by the price at first. Thirty bucks for a large specialty pizza? Yikes. But now? Totally worth it. This is the prime example of what a Buffalo pizza should be.
My fiancé and I ordered a large chicken bacon pizza online. The app said it was delayed, but when I showed up, I was greeted by a sweaty, hard-working broski who apologized because it had actually been ready. No worries, man—it was still hot, still gooey, with a mega cheese pull that made me forget the wait.
We went with garlic crust—subtle, but perfect. The cheese? Plentiful, melty, and top-shelf quality. The chicken tasted like seasoned, tender grilled pieces, not the bland stuff you find at most pizza joints. And the bacon… oh man. No sad, pre-frozen bacon bits here. We’re talking real, cut-up strips of crispy bacon laid across the top. Who does that? Nobody.
10/10. We’ll be back. Please, never change!

The food is always good,(besides the pizza being burnt once) but what they need to fix or communicate to someone to fix in the google maps menu photos. Expected to pay 30-32$ with tax paid 59.53, for the large pizza 20 wings and salad special. Bc that price doesnt give “special”. If they know the menu photos are old they should tell the customer before hanging up the phone.

This is easily my favorite pizza spot. I’ve never been disappointed even after multiple orders for both pick up and delivery through 3rd party. The pizza is thick and delicious, wings are perfect every time, and they have the best mozzarella sticks hands down.

Burnt pizza and overdone wings. Got a large and 30 wings and was not excited about it at all. Could have some nice product. Sauce is very tasty but employees definitely don’t have enough training to know how to cook. For not having anyone there when I got there I was also surprised by the hour wait time to pick up.

Godfather sub was great tasting just like old times, but very expensive which the guy on the phone warned me $23. I didn’t mind because it tasted fantastic, but he charged me extra for an extra oil on the side after 23 dollars, dude subs down the street are 12 bucks. Inside was run down and dirty. Wish they were a lot cheaper and I would come back again but scratched the itch

Best turkey club sub I’ve ever had honestly. I was like 15 mins late to pick up and it was still sooo fresh and good!! Toasted perfectly, rations are perfect. Sub was a 10/10 !! I will definitely be back again!! And the guy I spoke to( owner I think lol) was sooo kind!!

There are certainly no shortage of great pizzerias to choose from near South Buffalo, but Desi’s is my first choice now after having tried quite a few. Ordering is super convenient through the Slice app and they always have it ready very quickly. As others have mentioned, the owner works in the kitchen and has personally prepared every pizza I’ve ordered. He’s incredibly hard working and kind, and he remembers his regulars. Also, the pizza is plain great – one of the few Buffalo joints that actually cooks the pie long enough instead of giving you something that is too doughy or bread-like.
You could pay a fortune for a pizza from Imperial, but for my money I’d much rather support Desi’s and get a great product for a fair price. Don’t forget to tip well if you can! ✌️

My hubby just went to pick up a 3 cheese steak pizza. It was the best I’ve ever had. The cheese was perfect amount steak was real not frozen steakums and the crust was out of this world nice garlic date and sweet peppers made the pizza. If y’all want a real good stark pizzia go to Desi on Clinton st .10/10. Be back for another craving.

Ordered for the first time tonight, and was really impressed. Ordered delivery and got a personal cheese pizza, hot wings, fries, and mozzarella sticks. The pizza was fantastic, a lot of dough and cheese unlike some places where you’re basically buying cardboard. Wings were great, absolutely slathered in sauce just how I like them. Fries were a bit crispier which I wasn’t a fan of but that’s more the style of them (crinkle fries). And finally the mozzarella sticks were about perfect. This was during dinnertime on a Friday too so to still get quality over rushed service was great.
All of this ran us about $50 (not counting delivery fees) which all things considered is not bad at all these days. Will definitely be ordering again from here, and I’m just sad I didn’t know of them sooner.

Sorry gotta be honest. Was ignored the first 5 min. Order took way longer than expected, Im sure they were short handed, but at least say hey when walking in the door.
