Pizza, Pizza, Pizza. Here in the Buffalo area we are blessed with more pizza places you can shake a bread stick at. Some are good, some are bad and some might be involved with the mob! Today I had the pleasure of tasting pizza from La Nova and I even managed to scarf down some wings - all in the name of journalism, of course.
Many will tell you that La Nova is a staple in the Buffalo world of pizza. They have been around since the 50s and you can have La Nova shipped anywhere in the country overnight. Is it worth it?
Meh.
I had two types of pizza and some wings. The pizza crust was thick and almost fluffy. It tasted fresh. I would recommend trying crust with seasoning as the plain is a bit too bland. The slices of mushroom & green pepper pizza (though I would never order it myself)were cooked well, as many places tend to under cook these items. The standard pepperoni was just that, standard. The generous amount of sauce was sweet, but was uninspired.
The wing packaging needs improvement. While the pizzas were still hot, the wings were lukewarm by the time I got my order. Most places remedy this by wrapping their wings in tin foil and La Nova should do the same. The BBQ wings are grilled and a little blackened, a very nice touch, but the meat was skimpy and stringy. The sauce quite uninteresting, not especially tangy, hot or sweet. Their regular Buffalo wings are just that -regular, nothing less, nothing more. Those from out of town who want to see what Buffalo Wings are all about, skip La Nova.
La Nova is often described as an authentic Buffalo Pizza joint. I find their food much too expensive for something so mundane. If you are considering having their food shipped overnight, don't bother, unless you're trapped in the bowels of Ohio and can't find any remotely decent pizza. You are better off ordering from a local place.
Fortunately for me, I live in Buffalo and another chance at good food is right around the corner!
