Mister Pizza Elmwood

It was finally time to try out different food from this place. Today, we were in the mood for a bacon cheeseburger sub and pulled out our menus and found their menu that happened to have it. Their menu is actually quite extensive with a few surprises that will make you want to order other food that isn't pizza. The prices are in the middle to high range, but their specialty pizzas are among the best in the area. They have plenty of diverse pizza party packs and they have a great and clear website.

First a trip down memory lane with our previous two experiences…

April 29 was actually our first time we ordered something from them for lunch at work. A bit late, yes, to order from this fine pizzeria. We ended up getting the Mister Cheeseburger Pizza. Two of us agreed it was the best specialty pizza we have ever ate in Buffalo. Grade A ground beef, bacon, and onions along with American, Swiss, and cheddar cheese and their own special sauce was literally the best cheeseburger pizza we have had. The order was placed at quarter before 11am to be delivered at NLT noon. The individual taking the order was polite and assured the delivery would go off without a hitch. He didn't lie because at 11:55am the piping hot pizza was delivered. The aroma that escaped the box upon opening was truly captivating. Aside from the smell, by the looks it was easy to notice that it was thoroughly cooked and it wasn't overcooked either. After having this pizza, Mister Pizza on Elmwood had us as a repeat customer.

On May 7, we ordered pizza from Mister Pizza again for a pizza party. However, two supervisors ordered pizza from this place for two separate parties that day. We both had the misfortune at the hands of apparently incompetent delivery driver and/or staff members from Mister Pizza. The other team’s supervisor ordered: 1 Sheet Pepperoni, 1 Sheet Sausage, and 1 Sheet Mushroom. They received: 1 Sheet Cheese, 2 Sheets Pepperoni.

We ordered: A Sheet Pepperoni Pizza, Large Mister Hawaiian, Large Hot Chicken Finger Pizza, 100 wings (50 medium, 20 Cajun, 20 Honey BBQ ,10 suicidal) Our team was shorted an entire sheet pepperoni pizza from that list, which was obviously a big goof that needed to be rectified. Later that day, we were in contact with the manager to discuss apparent necessary options that went no where with no contact if we remember well.

The chicken finger pizza was the first pizza everyone started eating from and it went quick. The Mister Hawaiian, however, had plenty of leftovers. Cherries, pineapple, almonds, and ham was on it didn’t appeal to most of it. The Cajun wings were hot with its dry heat, however the suicidal wings left us in disappointment. We wondered if they mistaken the suicidal sauce with just putting plain medium or something on them.

Today, four people were in on the order. The order came as exact separated in pizza and wing boxes, though the guy was maybe a couple minutes later but not a big deal. They also delivered their suicidal sauce on the side. Remembering we already had the suicidal sauce on the wings in the past while trying it out, it was hotter on the side with the sub and fries than it was before on the wings. This was probably the best ratio of very hot sauce and flavor from a pizza place that we’ve reviewed. The deluxe loaded fries were a hit. Someone who didn’t order with us kept going back for more fries to dip in the hot sauce. These were waffles fries loaded with cheddar, salsa, and taco meat that came with a side of sour cream. The fries had a lot of toppings on it where it was almost hard to find them in the round tinfoil bowl. The tacos and chicken fingers were fine, though the plain side of fries could have used some ketchup. Luckily, the suicidal sauce helped out. The bacon cheeseburger subs had a thick layer of bacon on bottom with the burger on top. We thought it was all tasty that would fill you up. It may have been frozen patty by the way it was compacted and cut, but it was still appetizing.

This place calls itself Mister Pizza but really it has way more to offer in quality than the Pizza. This is an underrated place if you’re looking for subs or something else for lunch. For a pizzeria, they have such an amazing and appealing selection.

Final Rating: 4.0 out of 5

I randomly came across this blog...and I gotta disagree. Whenever I've dealt with Mister Pizza my order was always screwed up. On top of that...you know how the bottom of the crust has hard spots on it? Like dough scabs. That happens when you leave pizza dough sitting out all day. Or prestretched way to many the previous day and is still trying to use it. Also...as I recall...their blue cheese tasted more like mayo than anything. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut it with it to save on overhead.
