Marco Navarra: Not my typical thin crust authentic neopalitan pizza; however, I had to visit this Bizarre Foods Delicious Destinations. I really enjoyed their beef and pork pepperoni pizza. I'd go back!
Maki S: I got a free slice of pizza at the Sabres game. It was very tasty! They use generous amount of cheese and pepperonis are crunchy and spicy! Thank you for your generosity!
Sushia: I think this is the best pizza in town!

Courtney I: Tasty, fresh, authentic sushi rolls. If you're not a fan of wasabi, tell Mr. Sato, because it's tucked into many of the rolls.
Josh: Do not get sushi here. It is terrible. This place seems like an authentic Japanese seafood restaurant, with dishes specifically from Japan. Might be good for exploring different cultural dishes.
Steve Poland: sashimi 21 was superb. cajun tuna superb. bbq grilled octopus skewers on special was superb. choc mousse was very good but not a must-have, but very good.
