Someone just posted this link on the Pittsburgh board. Seemed like something the people in WNY would like to read.

Cool article. I was in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago and ate at La Nova. Great pizza, great chicken wings.

Wish I had known about this kind of Buffalo pizza when I lived in western NY. Would have tried out a place. Instead I usually make my own now that I own a pizza even. Can have real NY Style no matter where I go these days.

Eduardo's on Bailey, many years back had the best pizza I have ever had. Nothing even comes close IMHO.

Typo. Oven not even. Anywho, if I ever get back to the Buffalo area I will be sure to look up a couple of places such as Eduardo's. I do recall eating at a number of restaurants in the city and suburbs while there and they were all pretty good. Italian, Chinese and a BBQ place were the places I ate at the most.

I grew up two blocks from Eduardo's. The place closed in the late 1970s. Nineteen seventies, not a typo. The building is now a welfare office or social service agency of some kind. Leonardi's used to be on Bailey near the 33 until the 1980s, and it's still serving the same great pizza at its Millersport/Eggert/Longmeadow "six corners" location. Via Vieneto is a holdout at Bailey and Minnesota, but their pizza is awful.

The Kensington neighborhood experienced socioeconomic change starting in the mid 1980s. Before then, the local media and many residents considered Kensington as part of North Buffalo. Now, most will say it's part of the East Side. Buffalo's northeast suburbs are very well-off. However, aside from University Heights, the city's northeastern neighborhoods are quite rough now.

tl;dr: Eduardo's closed during the Carter administration, and the surrounding neighborhood is now solidly "the 'hood".

If I get up that way again, I will post here again to get some suggestions about where to find "Buffalo Style" Pizza. No point in asking now then since Eduardo's is closed and I probably won't remember any other suggestions unless my visit is immediately in the near future.
