WING (And Pizza) REVIEW: Main Street Pizza Company (Batavia)

June 15, 2025

A little podcasting business took me to Batavia on a Sunday afternoon, roughly a 45-minute drive from home. Naturally I wasn’t letting an opportunity to be in another town slip by without trying some Batavia wings, with hopefully a slice of pizza to compliment it. I threw something up on Twitter asking for recommendations in … Read More

Wing Review: Imperial Pizza

Imperial Pizza is the gospel when it comes to pizza and wings for most people in South Buffalo.  Seriously, it’s nearly sacrilegious to speak negatively of it in that part of town and trust me, I’d know. I’m not a fan of their pizza. I’ve considered it quite bland and comparatively overpriced. I’ve gotten into … Read More
