There’s a new tenant moving into the vacant Sahara Grill at the corner of Elmwood and Bidwell. I’m glad to see that corner get another business so soon considering it is such a hi-profile location on the street. Zetti’s Pizza and Pasta has branded the location with signs, signaling their intentions to open.
At one point there was an other pizza place in the building – Just Pizza, but they eventually relocated down to the corner of Elmwood and Summer. The interior of this building is set up perfectly for a pizza joint, and if they do it right, should become a hot sit down destination. Initially I had been hoping to get a Pizza Plant set up there (wishful thinking), though Zetti’s fans are extremely excited about landing the business in the city.
“Best pizza in town. Hands down. Real New Yorkers making real pizza! Two words, Zetti slice.” – Josh H.
“I used to hate thin crust pizza until I tried Zetti’s. Now I am hooked. They have other good stuff too. Glad to hear they will be in Elmwood area.” – Jessica D.
“Awesome. Seriously good NY-style, thin crust yumminess. This makes me happy. I’m not dissing the thicker crust Buffalo variety here, but a slice of thin crust is in order at times.” – Maki T.
“Super friggin excited!!!!!!” – Chao L.
“Fabulous. I go to the one near south campus UB all the time. real NYC pizza.” -DLW
“Great pizza, great service. This will be their fourth location. They started in University Plaza, opened store No. 2 across from UB North Campus on Maple Road and have a third store on Transit Road near Eastern Hills Mall that unlike the other two has restaurant table service.” – Art P.
So there you have it… people are psyched to get a real New York-style pizza place in the city. I’ve never tried any of their slices, though I’m interested to do so. Best of all, I think having another pizza sit-down option on Elmwood is a good thing.
