The Best Pizza and Wings Anywhere!
La Nova was born in 1957 when Joe Todaro (Papa Joe) started La Nova Pizzeria on 43 South Niagara Street in the City of Tonawanda. Joe worked 7 days a week with his son, Joe (Big Joe), who was 12 years old.
Big Joe and his father introduced Buffalo favorites such as the White Pizza, Steak and Cheese subs and La Nova’s World Famous Barbeque Wings; an absolute favorite in the Queen City.
When there is an influx of Ex-Buffalonians returning home for the holidays, people just have to have their La Nova.
In 1994, Big Joe’s, his son Joe (L.J) and daughter Carla started La Nova Wings Inc. Their Wings and Sauces are now sold in Foodservice outlets Worldwide.
TV-lined, strip-mall parlor dishing out thin-crust & signature pies, plus wings, subs & tacos.

Did not receive what I ordered! I ordered a garlic crust, and didn’t get it, I paid extra for double cheese & double pepperoni, look at the picture & tell me which one has double…they look the same, out $8!
Also ordered “saucy” wings… nope!
Don’t expect to get what you order! Upsetting, won’t be coming back!

I visited Lanova 01/24/2026 at about 5:30pm and ordered a 10-piece wing and a slice of pizza, totaling $27. Upon receiving my order, I noticed that one wing was misshapen and another was unusually small. As a customer, especially given the current economic climate and rising prices, I expect consistent, premium-quality portions when paying a premium price. When an order is advertised as a 10-piece wing, it’s reasonable to expect 10 properly sized, quality wings. Charging premium prices while serving undersized or deformed wings feels disappointing and not reflective of good value.

We order to go for first time. The pizza was very bland, no taste. The Bar B Q wings were great. The medium wings had no sauce and were dry as can be. I have ordered from the W. Ferry location many times. Always great food. Maybe it was just a distraction from the USA hockey game that was on .

I placed an order from La Nova Pizza today for myself and my children. For my kids, I ordered two mini turkey subs without tomatoes, served with fries and a Starry drink. For my meal, I ordered two slices of pizza: one New York pepperoni and one white pizza with onions and banana peppers.
When the order arrived, nothing was correct.
We did not receive the two Starry drinks, we only received one can of Pepsi.
We did not receive the mini subs and Fries instead we received full subs, with no fries and tomatoes which we requested not to have.
For my white pizza, it seems that they just went to the salad bar and grabbed raw vegetables and threw it on top of the pizza. Unfortunately it seems like this restaurant has went downhill over the past few years.

I’ve ordered from this location for years and have never had an issue with the quality or service until today. I ordered a small pizza and it arrived essentially thrown together with a chewy, undercooked crust that tasted and looked nothing like what I’ve ever seen from here before. I called just to explain what I received and to figure out what happened, and was put on the phone with a severely annoyed manager. He immediately stated that he couldn’t offer a refund (even though I mentioned multiple times that I didn’t want or need a refund). I just wanted yo let him know what I received and to figure out what went wrong. He said he’d look into it then hung up on me. Again, this is a first for me as far as the quality and service, but I don’t think I can order from here again and I can’t ever recommend it to anyone else.

This taste like mamas pizza. Like a little Italian mom made this for me. They use the best ingredients for their crust for their cheeses for their sauces for everything! Eat here!

Lived in buffalo all my life, still need Lanova every now and then. Grew up around the block from the original I think a pizza was $5?

The food is generally good here. They have multiple types of pizza, subs, chicken wings, tacos, etc. The char bbq wings are some of the best in the city. The steak hoagie is also delicious.
My only issue, as is with most pizza joints, is they add peppers into the sub and LEAVE the stems on them!! This is a huge no no and disgusting. Who the heck wants to bite into a sub and bite down on essentially a piece of bark. Rant over.
This place is small and only has a couple counter seats. There are small picnic tables outside for the warmer seasons but don’t expect to dine in at this location.
The service was good. The girl running the counter was polite and attentive.
The food is overpriced compared to other local pizza places but mostly of higher quality. You usually get what you pay for.
I’d give the place a 3.5 out of 5. If they learn to take the stems off the peppers they can move up to a 4.

So disappointed with the steak pizza from the Williamsville location. I was in the area so I decided to order one it costed me 45 dollars which is outrageous but when I got home there were big chunks of steak. thick pieces of onions and absolutely no flavor and no seeds on the crust at all. I normally go to LaNova on Ferry and there is no comparison at all. I dont mind paying that amount if its a good pizza but I will rate it a 3 out of 10 my son tried it and wouldn’t eat anymore of it just sad and over paid for a pizza thats gonna end up in the garbage
