When we were walking around with the pizza box before and after lunch, at least five people asked us, "Pizza again?"
Jacobi's is located on South Elmwood by Tupper heading to route 33. This pizza place has been right under own noses for quite some time now... we just never attempted to discover if they were open or not. We have never seen anyone walk in or out of it and it has always looked dead and closed with nobody by it. Co-workers drive by it and even walk by it. They recently hung a Jacobi's flag out there to show some life. There is nothing online about this location and no one has ever mentioned it at work or ordered from there until one of us just brought it up today… due to that flag hanging.
We called them around 10am and someone actually picked up. After two quick questions that that they do deliver and sell by the slice, we ended up with delivery. All we ordered was the usual large pizza but with half pepperoni and half hot peppers. It was priced where it should be for delivery at about $15.
Upon delivery, the guy gave us a menu which was great as we forgot to ask. The delivery guy said they just re-opened up about a week ago, so hence the flag, and that the one in Kenmore is related as they're brothers. To our surprise, today as Tuesday was a large pizza special. The menu is huge for just re-opening. They have every day specials along with wings, tacos, salads, lots of subs and sandwiches, pasta, seafood, catering, and much more. The prices seem about right on most of the items.
This is a large pizza that could stuff two men with an appetite. The pizza, along with their blue cheese, was satisfying and it almost reminds us of how Carbone's was. The banana peppers actually had some hot taste to it without being bland or loaded with too many of them. The crust was average Buffalo size which is how most like it.
It could be the closest actual pizzeria on South Elmwood reaching downtown. It is worth walking to on a sunny day too. We would have to try their wings next as they do have something called super hot. Give it some time and this pizza place could be right up there for downtown.
Final Rating: 4.0 out of 5

Jacobi's is a very old Buffalo name in pizza, with a couple of locations in the southtowns. Big restaurant/club on Abbott Rd in Lackawanna. Food has always been high quality, it is good to see them downtown. I did have a couple of follow-up questions. How was the sauce, was the crust burnt or brown, good portion of cheese? Most importantly was it hot and fresh tasting ? Look forward to your responses.
The crust was not burnt or dark brown. Sauce was above average nothing bad or too special though. Cheese portioned well enough and it was fresh and hot tasting.
