Still in our original location on State Street right in Downtown Rochester, we were the first in the area to offer New York style thin crust, stuffed and specialty pizzas. We have been using the original recipe from our family’s first pizzeria that opened in the early 1950s in Brooklyn, New York. In 1986, we opened The Pizza Stop to bring authentic New York pizza to Rochester.The Pizza Stop not only offers authentic pizza, but our atmosphere and service put you in a New York state of mind as well. We provide a family-friendly atmosphere with great food and exceptional service at an affordable price.From the very beginning, we have been innovative by combining new flavors to come up with creative and delicious specialty pizzas.

The best pizza in town. Our family’s favorite pizza, we have been customers for over 13 years.

This is the closest to authentic New York pizza that you can get by far in the greater Rochester area! The place is very nicely decorated and always clean. We recommend the buffalo chicken pizza. The prices are fair and the toppings are generous, I can’t say too much about the service because we’ve only ever ordered takeout but the time it takes between ordering and the food being ready is standard.

Ordered delivery- pizza arrived quickly and hot. Generous amount of toppings, reasonable price. Not too greasy, good flavor— though not a sweet sauce (which I personally prefer). My favorite aspect of this pizza is their crust. I ordered their thin crust- which was quite good. Just the right amount of crisp, yet warm and soft on the inside… also, awesome flavor to the crust.

By far the best pizza in the area. I grew up outside NYC and it’s the closest thing to real NYC pizza. Good variety too- kid loves the calzones. Only complaint is their hours don’t seem to be consistent; several times I went to pick up some slices and they were closed in the middle of the day. Also, they’re closed on Sundays- too bad, they’d get lots of business during football season.

Stop in for a couple slices at lunch. I was the a bit before noon and it was pretty quiet, but when the lunch crowd came in it got pretty busy!

Had a chance to visit this place and try a few items. I ordered a medium bacon pepperoni and a small cauliflower pie. I think $50+ was a little high but honestly It was pretty good. There was a few things that alter my experience 1. I was rushed to place my order which was odd because I was the only person there.

Even though the pizza is good, the service is very poor. They said pizza would be ready in 1 hour. We got there at the 1 hour time and still needed to wait 30 minutes to get pizza. It’s not worth it – we won’t go back again. It would’ve been better if they just could estimate time better. It’s very disorganized there. Granted it was a Friday night but still waiting 1.5 hours for pizza is kind of ridiculous.

The pizza is pretty amazing here and the service is always great too. I recommend trying them out if you haven’t just yet. Their pies are that good!

Best thin crust pizza I’ve had anywhere in the area. Service quick & friendly. Decor very cool graffiti art representing the 5 boroughs. Highly recommend dropping I’m for a slice!

The pizza was not shy of toppings we ordered the medium county sweet chicken and bacon. There was enough for two people we had a few slices left over. Some of the staff was pleasant others not so much but fair priced just under 30 dollars for the pizza and two fountain drinks. Overall good experience.
