Diva’s Pizzeria

Everyone loves different pizza. To give you an idea, my favs are here, Bocce, Imperial, (those in no order) and I can throw in Picasso’s just for good measure.

The pizza at Diva’s is quite good. I might not put it in the top 10 in the Buffalo region but I would put it in the top 20.
We tried them for the first time this past Sunday. Like Bocce’s, you either get a whole or half pizza, not a large or small. The style was somewhat similar to Bocce’s, but maybe with slightly less spicy flavors. We ordered pepperoni and mushroom. The sauce was NOT sweet. I’m not a fan of sweet sauce, but the sauce was probably the weakest point of the pizza. The sauce was kind of bland, but I like that better than sweet.
I was impressed that it was not a grease overload, it was nicely balanced and didn’t cause heartburn or anything. I’ve become more sensitive to that in my old age.
The crust was just the right consistency. Not too doughy. Generous amount of cheese without going overboard. Prices are reasonable. I’ll go again if I am in the area.

Don’t let all the fools in the area tell you which famous place has the best pizza, because they are wrong. This is the best. And for the area, its across the street from a church and a Polish food joint, not everywhere is opulent Ontario. You would only be wasting your time if you went somewhere else.

Upon seeing the Unilocal review, I decided to try this pizza place. Pizza was definitely fresh, although they didn’t have slices of their specialty pizza (only cheese & pepperoni) otherwise you had to order half and whole pizzas to try what they seem to be known for!
I tried ½ of their white pizza (cheese-​based pizza with garlic and sliced tomatoes on top). REALLY refreshing and light, tasted like I was eating a garden salad and was not super greasy or anything. It was missing a bit of something, which I’m not sure what, the fresh tomatos was a unique approach to replace the marinara sauce needed in pizza… but it sorta didn’t make it taste like pizza anymore, more like a cheesy bread with a garden salad on top? I don’t discredit their pizzas, just that I tried better (namely the Secret Pizza place at The Cosmo in Vegas — the best white pizza I’ve tasted).
The downfalls is that this pizzeria is in a rather sketchy looking part of town, it itself in a small rundown shack that I would have not guessed to be a good pizza place had it not been for Unilocal.Don’t get me wrong, good food can come from obscure places, but after an exhausting day, this pizzeria was a difficult trek for a foreigner like me. It was a bit hard to find and pretty much in the middle-​of-​nowhere in a town that I would not feel comfortable being in for long.
If you live in the area, I can see why its a good local pizza joint, but otherwise, save yourself the trip!

The storefront is tiny and right on the corner, and there is no seating, just a counter and ovens. What emerges from those ovens is an excellent large pizza, sold by the whole or half pie. If you like anchovies and onions, try the special, which also features green olives, mushrooms, and handcut pepperoni. Delicious!

the BEST pizza in Buffalo, HANDS DOWN.
i have been enjoying Diva’s pizza literally since i was a child (that’s since the 70s, yo…), and each and every time i turn a Diva’s virgin onto their pie, its a HUGE hit.
Diva’s menu is not extensive, and that is exactly how i like it, because that means they do one thing, and they do it well. you won’t find a charbroiler or a fryer in this south buffalo pizza joint. and, the pies crafted here are NOT your typical Buffalo pizzas…
the crust is on the thinner side, but perfectly cripsy and firm. the sauce is sweet and well balanced. the cheese blend is dead on heaven, and the toppings are out of this world — huge mushrooms, fresh sweet onions, thick handcut pepperoni… the list goes on.
the only thing better than a fresh, hot Diva’s out of the oven, is a slice reheated the next day.
i assure you, this pizza is worth your drive to Kaisertown! i drive from north buffalo at least twice a month just for the heaven that is a slice of Diva’s pizza…
