Prima Pizza & Pasta

This is a three part review in one. We'll briefly go over the experience we had during our pizza eating contest, sub platter orders, and today's of pizza and wings and other items.

Their website is also fantastic with enough information for their three locations. They even have an online order form for their downtown location. Furthermore, they have a pizza builder tool to customize your own pizza for online ordering by dragging toppings on it while the pizza is divided into parts. It is probably the neatest online ordering menu system we’ve seen in Buffalo. Go ahead and check it out if you’re bored enough.

The pizza contest was held on March 26. It was between two men with the time limit of 20 minutes to eat a whole large pepperoni Prima pizza without the crust. The two men had a large pepperoni pizza to devour while bystanders ate other pizzas that were ordered when watching us. The winner’s time was 14 minutes and 56 seconds to eat a whole large pizza. However, Prima was short a large order of pizza for everyone else watching during the contest. The delivery guy had to return to deliver one of the pizzas while the contest was going on. The pizza, as agreed by both men, was not their best that time. It was dry, chewy, greasy, and bland. It was a poor pizza to eat for an eating contest. After the eating contest, we took time off from seeing that pizza again.

The sub platters are liked by many at work. It is one of our more popular requests and orders. Prima's sub platters are fun and inviting. You can order with whatever meats and such you want in the platters. The large platter is about $40 that will feed almost a dozen people. They leave all the condiments on the side to spread on bread and their brownie platter was plausible. We had two separate sub platter orders in the past as they will continue to receive orders from us for them.

Today we ordered for a group of approximately 30 people. The delivery order was exact, on time, and piping hot and fresh when delivered. The Deluxe Pizza literally had some of everything on it. The chicken wings we got with our order had a lot of flavor and it was better than most from we've tried in Buffalo from pizza places.

Additionally, two of us got the five piece chicken fingers with fries order. This item was worth the price. It was fulfilling loaded with a ton of fries. We requested extra blue cheese, but didn't get it. Instead we got a single blue cheese from Cain products. One box was labeled mild when it was supposed to be medium, but we think they just wrote it on the box wrong. The chicken fingers were decent size... not too large or small. They were hidden under the foil in a chicken wing box where when someone was going to toss out the box when finished, another person realized there was still one left hiding under the foil.

Their pizza is not among the best in Buffalo, but the rest of their foods do well. We got delivery each time but they are somewhat in a walking distance. By the pizza slice there is nothing special though. This isn’t the last time we’ll hear of Prima Pizza.

Final Rating: 4.0 out of 5
