The Pizza Heist

We ordered a small cheese pizza and a fried bologna sub and steak sub. Pretty flavorless. Not likely to eat again

Love love love this place! We order from here constantly. Everything is always awesome from the service to the food. Keep up the great work! The BBQ wings rock!!! And they have a great steak sub too!

Just ordered a meatball parm sub and what I got, had no resemblance to balls… a small amount of mushy meat, small amount of cheese and mostly roll, too bad. A friend had the fish fry which was a better choice. I probably wouldnt go here again nor will I recommend it to others. Across the street is a better choice.

Love their food, especially taco specials on Tuesday. Just wish they were open later.

If this pizza were in college, it would win the Pizza Heisman. But it isn’t in college, because Ariana Grande showed it how to graduate. So rather than the Pizza Heisman, you just seriously need to get down to Depew-​Lancaster and try the Pizza Heist, man. Just don’t show up when the place is being robbed, okay? I mean with a name like this, it gets robbed all the time. And usually at gunpoint. You don’t wanna be in that room when those robbererers bring that Bang Bang into the room. And you might get that Pizza all over you. But if you do, they’ll let you have it. And you’ll be like… wait a minute, can you heat this up (ah ah), wait a minute can you (ahhhhh). Not a fan of that song. But yeah I know Domino’s been good to you, you need a Pizza Heist to blow your miiiiiiiiind.
What to get: Slices.
There are some pretty amazing slices in Western NY, but Pizza Heist is right up there with the very best of them. Not only amazing, juicy, delicious, Imperial-​esque slices, but amazing service and prices too. Slices and prices… two reasons to go here. I mean look at the name. And the marquee says «a meal for a steal!» and they are right. Maybe because they market themselves as dirt cheap, people think they are also dirt poor quality. Not at all. It’s some of the best pizza around.
The first time I went in, they endeared themselves to me by selling me a slice for around $ 2 which totally rocked my world and was significantly better than most of the other slices I’ve had. Typical Buffalo pizza but done right… fluffy sexy doughy crush with generous hot melted greasy cheese and yummy tasting not-​too-​sweet homemade herby tomato sauce and those pepperonis that turn up at the edges and get slightly burned and turn into bubbling cauldrons of heart-​stopping grease. Yeah, DON’T eat pizza too often. But when you do, try Pizza Heist.
I don’t always eat Pizza. But when I do, I Heist it.
So the second time I came here it was even better. It was late night (they’re open til Midnight, baby) and they were about to close, so they had no slices left. But they had a «burned pizza» from earlier which wasn’t that burned and still tasted amazing. They said… you can have these 5 slices if you want… I was like… hmm, okay. How much? Oh, it’s free. They’re burned and we’re closing. Okay then… so I tipped them heavily and took the slices (which they kindly warmed back up for me!) and they were absolutely fantastic. So this place earns top marks on every level, for me. I could not recommend it more highly, and it is easily one of the 10 best slice places in WNY in my none-​too-​humble opinion.
So in the words of AG, they literally let me have it. Not that. I mean the pizza. Neither Pizza Heist nor AG has ever let me have *that*. And I’m okay with that. I don’t like salt with my pepper anyway, I prefer pepperonly. Tomato is another day. I thank Jesus crust I am still here to write about pizza. Dough not ever take anything for granted. If you feel down, locate the sauce of your negativity and get it out of your life. Three cheese for great Buffalo Pizza!

I love the pizza heist. Best pizza and wings in the area, and their staff is very friendly. I go there all the time.

Follow-​up review for the pizza only. I decided to give them one more shot for pizza and I ordered a small steak-​in-​the-​grass pizza. The crust is one of those doughy but hard crusts that takes up far too much space on end of the pizza, greatly reducing the cheese and topping portion of the pie. Strike number one. Plus the dough still seemed like one of those refrigerated pizza shells you can get at the supermarket.
The steak and spinach toppings were minced beyond recognition, both visually and in flavor. It was like they threw the toppings into a blender or food processor and turned them into a paste. Plus it had a heavy, heavy garlic taste. I knew there would be garlic, but the garlic was pretty much the only flavor profile, completely overpowering everything else. The leftovers stunk up my refrigerator, but I guess I will just throw the rest out.
I used to like Pizza Heist for their subs but they have recently raised the prices and there are now less costly options of equal or better quality in the direct vicinity, so I can no longer recommend for subs either. It doesn’t give me any pleasure to give a negative review to a locally owned business, but at the same time, if I think that they need to step up their game, I am going to say so.

Bar none the best pizza shop around. The pizza and wings are excellent and very consistent. They char-​pit BBQ wings could not be any better ! Subs and other items are rock solid. The fish fry’s are served 7 days a week. The portion is huge and not greasy. Service is fast and friendly. Only downfall is the location has a small tight parking lot. If you have guests from out if town who want to try authentic Buffalo pizza and wings etc call the Heist !

In a market flooded with an abundance of pizza joints, its hard to decide where you want to eat when you have those oh so dangerous pizza cravings. Next stop, Pizza Heist.
Its a smaller business, but it is clean, theres seating that is accommodating for groups of 3 – 6 and most importantly the service is top notch.
PIZZA TIME! Upon opening the white box filled with beautiful slices of heaven, you notice almost immediately that there was time taken to prepare this pizza (I have never had an ugly pie from here). The sauce is evenly placed almost all the way around the pizza with just the right amount of dough at the end, which is a bonus in my books. Pepperoni is average in taste, and the cheese has just the right amount of flavor that is not overpowering nor underrated, its just right. My favorite ingredient to this pizza is the sauce, its hard to explain other that i can only describe it as subtle and sweet with just the right texture that leaves you wanting more and more after each bite! The dough is not thick and it is not thin, it is right in the middle. Again, the ingredients all work in unison to create a great pizza, not one ingredient is overpowering, it simply works.
There are many pizza places around this area, and if you are looking for a guaranteed quality pizza for dinner, please do yourself a favor and try this place, I assure you that you will not be disappointed! Truly a «meal for a steal!»

Pizza heist has grown on me… REALLY. There pizzas have come a long way, very tasty «sweet» sauce. Nice buffalo style pie «thicker crust» the only thing I wish was the pepperoni has some nice char to it.
Anyways? If you like thicker pizza and sweet sauce try them out. If you don’t skip them or try something else and skip leaving a bad review.

I’d give ya more than 5 if I could! We have had nothing from The Heist that we didn’t love! Onion rings are great and the specialty pizzas are comparable to none! my fav is the Mac salad that comes with the fish fry.

There are so many pizza places just in the Lancaster/​Depew area, that’s its tough for any one particular place to really stand out.
Pizza Heist, however, gets my vote for the best in the area not because they have any one outstanding item, but because across the board they do everything very well. Their pizza and wings are very good, value is right on par with the area, and they have a great selection of items.
It’s tough to go wrong with any of the pizza places in Lancaster, but the combination of value, selection, customer service, and above all quality of the food puts the Heist above the rest.

Stopped by to get a pizza after a long day of shopping and wasn’t ready to turn on the stove when it was 90* out. I called in the order on our way home — the lady on the phone was nice and was willing to be serious about my «extra crispy» pepperoni order. (You know what I mean — some just say Yes but is the pepperoni burnt and crispy? Nope! However, this place was serious about it!). We ordered a small pizza for the 2 of us and it was just enough. The sauce was sweet and the cheese was still gooey and delicious when we got home. For the price — $ 8.50 for a small — this place can’t be beat.

Decent food… just needs a website and to accept AMEX but overall, I like it! Wide variety of food available with fishfry everyday, not only Friday. Wish they had a greek chicken wrap though. I’d definitely give them a try! They need help with marketing of their business.

Im not one to write reviews at all. I have ordered from Pizza Heist multiple times and have really enjoyed there food. Last night I ordered and my wife and I both became very ill with food poisoning and only had Pizza Heist all day to eat. After debating how to handle the situation I thought I would call and just give them a heads up because I am a business owner and would love if something happend at my establishment that someone would call and inform me. I reluctantly called because I am not one for conflict. The manager/​owner I spoke to was shocked which I would be as well. But offered no refund which I would never ask for but would think would be automatic. He never asked me my name when I ordered, seemed completly unproffesional. Now after reading an article I understand the owners are young and it is a pizzeria I was just very disappointed from the reaction I recieved. So after being up all night in the bathroom and having to miss a day of work I was left with a half hearted im sorry!!. I hope that they investigate employess washing hands or maybe the handling of chicken wings. I also hope nobody else gets sick and hope the owners know that some people sue over this sort of thing. Im just happy im feeling better and probably will never order from them again.

I love their pizza and the prices, a little hold up on the delivery for the super bowl, but I am sure that was the same every where, all in all I will definitely order from them again, and would recommend them to a friend =^_^=

I keep seeing restaurants advertising Fish Fry in my new town. Usually it’s only one day of the week and usually Friday. Maybe it’s a Catholic thing. Anyways, we wanted some cheap takeout for our stay-​at-​home New Year’s Eve, and the Heist has fish fry all week. Bingo.
For $ 7.99 you get a huge piece of fish or pile of shrimp with fries and cole slaw. The fish comes with bread and tartar sauce, and the shrimp comes with a really addicting herb-​loaded macaroni salad and some cocktail sauce. The fries are plain but good and have the peels on. They might be cut fresh in the store, I’m not sure.
The place is small and dim but clean, and has a small private parking lot.
The menu is huge. If you’re with a group and nobody can decide what to eat, there’s pizza, fish fry, fried chicken (including wings, pieces, and fingers), hot and cold subs, tacos, and salads. And probably something I forgot already.
Some time when I’ve got more people over I’ll go for the pizza and wings. I suspect this place can do no wrong. I am so glad to find a good local fast-​food takeout place close to home. Goodbye 2012, and goodbye Toronto and your horrible Pizza Pizza on every corner. I think I like where I landed.
EDIT: Hubby found macaroni salad under the bread after all.
Also, two litre pop bottles (you sell pop, if nothing else, in litres down here?) are two bucks. This is good because it’s big-​brand pop. I’m not hooked on big brands, but sadly none of the discount store brands seem to sell a cherry cola. So I’m happy to shell out two bucks for a big-​brand if it’s cherry cola. Pop companies (or is it soda?) pay attention!
