Pontillos History- 70 Years and Counting
In 2017 Pontillo’s will celebrate 70 years in business. No small feat in a competitive market of powerful chains and local pizzerias.
“In Batavia, in the year 1947, most people called to ask what pizza was! Except for Italian-Americans, pizza was considered a strange but delicious new tomato pie. Its popularity grew very rapidly and, needless to say, the rest is history,” said co-founder Tony Pontillo.
A very successful history to be sure. Today, almost 70 years later, Pontillo’s has over 20 locations. ” We’re very definitely a hometown business,” said Dave Pontillo. “Most of our shops are still family owned and all of them are owned and operated by local residents. We’re very proud to be known

Didn’t care for the pizza at all. Both crust and sauce. The wings were really good. Extra large and flavorful. Just could have been cooked a little more. Would definitely order wings again and specify well done

The most horrifying wings I’ve ever had! They were rubbery as hell, raw and the taste/smell of garlic was over powering.

Almost never leave 1 star reviews but that pizza was awful. Maybe it was the sauce. Ordered it for a party and people literally stopped eating it because it was so bad. Gotta go back to formula or something.

If you like it saucy and not salty this is the spot, dough was fantastic with a great crust will order again

I’ve had pontillos before, in Canandaigua, and have always enjoyed it. This was the first time ordering from the lake ave location and we weren’t too impressed. The square cut wasn’t expected, as the location we’ve eaten from previously did pie slices. We know to ask for that in the future, not the biggest deal. However, the toppings and cheese all slid to the middle of the pie and it left a good 3-4” of just dough and sauce around the outside, with a sloppy mess of toppings pooled in the center. Wasn’t very enjoyable to eat. We’ll probably stick to Carbones from now on.
