Home of the self-proclaimed "finest pizza" in Western New York, Pontillo's is famous for being the largest, locally-owned pizza chain in the area. This pizzeria offers submarine sandwiches, salads, and pizzas by the pie or the slice. Next time you go, ask for their thin crust; it's even better than the regular pan pizza.

Pontillo's was voted "Best Pizza" in City Newspaper's Best Of Awards in 2007 and again in 2008.1 2

Pontillo's is located throughout Rochester in 25 different locations, spanning across the city and into its suburbs:

2008-01-18 16:03:22   The pizza is definitly different from place to place. I've always liked the Irondequoit Pontillo's, my parents have been ordering from there quite frequently ever since Ferarra's closed. If you like doughy pizza, you'll like this, and it's less greasy than Mark's. I enjoy the slices from Pontillo's at the Park Ave Fest, but I've never ordered a whole pizza from that location. —SaraChristine

The Empire Boulevard location was our default pizza place, until we discovered Guida's Pizzeria. —ZachSmalt

2008-07-21 10:03:00   I think it's worth noting here that when ordering a pizza and ordering a slice, you're going to get almost two completely different types of pizza. Their slices are thin and have a nice crunch to the crust while their regular pizza is of the more doughy variety. Personally, I enjoy both. —SaraChristine

2008-08-14 21:44:06   The Webster Pontillos that is on Ridge Rd is the best yet. So glad there is one in Webster now and they use the original recipe too. It's not listed here for some reason but the number is 671-1070. —AlexPhil

2008-11-09 19:57:34   I just came from the Henrietta location and boy, do those employees act as though they hate their lives. I walked in to order a pizza, and one guy just grunts without looking up, "What do you want?" as if I have just come to add to his misery. I turned around and left without putting any order in, so I can't say anything about the quality of their pizza, but as for the service, I would have to say it has the worst around town. My preference for pizza would be either Brandani's or Pizza Hut (W Henrietta location). —JenFromDC

2009-03-08 00:12:19   I order from Pontillo's in Spencerport. They are the best pizza in Spencerport, but really, that's not saying all that much. I enjoy it though. —foxual

2009-03-09 12:31:50   I had dinner with my family (8 people) at the Pontillo's in Chili on Saturday, and we had a great time. There was plenty of seating, and the pizza and wings were really good. They sell 2-liter bottles of pop, but they didn't have any cups so we had to bring our own cups. Not a big deal. The employees were friendly, and I would return in a heartbeat. Recommended. —AlexanderGartley

2009-03-28 10:30:24   The pizza is definitely different from location to location as they are owned by different people who pay to use the name "Pontillo's". I had a friend who used to work there part time who clued me in to this. Pontillo's can be the best pizza or the worst pizza in the world depending on where you get it from. I've always liked the Ridge Road location and the one near the beach (I think it's Latta Road) the best. Park Ave is so-so. Heard that Pittsford and Bushnell's Basin are good as well, but haven't checked them out yet. I would definitely recommend if you want a good pizza, wait until you are in the neighborhood of one of the "recommended" Pontillo's and stop in to pick up a pie. You won't be disappointed. —dmarie

2009-03-31 14:32:59   A friend recently informed me that some of the employees at the Fairport location are working under the table for cash. I'm surprised they haven't been busted by the IRS yet. —xxdeliverance

2009-05-08 22:43:33   The Alexander street location is usually more miss than hit. I think they rely on their late hours and drunken crowd to get business rather than either quality of service or of the food. Just got a pizza from there tonight and the service was surly at best and the pizza completely inedible. I'd advise everyone to stear clear of this place. —LukeAnderson
