Selected this place based on reviews....it's expensive for what you get. It's counter service so no waiters. They told us that they don't like to customize pizzas...the sausage is really peppery hot. Very thin crust...and burnt crust so we couldn't eat all the crust anyway. They don't have fountain drinks and charge up to $5 a bottle of pop. The place was totally packed when we left so maybe it's just me. I don't mind paying more for better pizza but I don't think it was worth it. I forgot to take a picture of the full pizza...but here is part of it.

Forno Napoli is a true gem nestled in Buffalo, NY, offering an authentic taste of Italy right in the heart of the city. As a family-owned establishment, the owner's dedication and hard work shine through in every aspect of the restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. The owner's involvement and personality ensure that every guest leaves satisfied. Now, let's talk about the pizza – it's nothing short of extraordinary. Each bite is bursting with flavor, thanks to the fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Whether you're a fan of classic Margherita or prefer something more adventurous, Forno Napoli has something for everyone. And let's not forget about the gelato – it's simply divine. Creamy, rich, and oh-so-indulgent, it's the perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note. Forno Napoli is more than just a restaurant – it's an experience! If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine that's made with love and passion, look no further than Forno Napoli. It's hands down the best pizza I've ever had, and I can't wait to flight back from Miami for more. Buon appetito!

Went there this week while attending a film festival. Hands down one of my favorite dining experiences. The food is TOP NOTCH. Had the Margherita pizza and Macaroni Al Forno. Tried my girlfriend’s meatballs. All Unreal. Also, Felix is one of the best owners and the care and love at this place was amazing to see. Can’t wait to visit Buffalo again just to eat here again!

The panzenella alone was worth the trip! The dough was spot on & the pizza deliziosa!! Amazing atmosphere & the owner is so nice!

It is the original and best margarita in the city of Buffalo. The owner shows that he is a creative person and loves excellence. But I do want to refer to the workers who receive their order. This is the second time that a Order is different I order two margarita, one of them with the spicy GUAJILLO or COLORADO (jalapeño) but I get one with meat on it look like pepperoni And I order extra garlic sauce that was missing too

Owners approached us as we walked in and thanked us for coming and asked where we came from then proceeded to give us a second pizza free. Pizza was amazing!

Just a fair warning, MAKE SURE they actually took your order, sat waited patiently, no one came to check in after 30 minutes I went to the counter to ask, for them to say oops sorry we don’t have your order. Interesting. Wish the customer service lived up to the quality of their pizza.

I unfortunately did not get to visit the atmosphere as I am an over the road trucker that was parked at the Walmart right down the street. But I gave it five stars anyways because if it’s anything like the pizza, it is top-notch. I ordered a basic Neapolitan pizza, and it is to die for. Absolutely love it. Thank you for making this country boy from South Point, Ohio very happy.

We always love coming here. It was a busy night since it was Valentine's day. Aside from the parents who played ignorant to the fact their children were literally running all around the restaurant, high on the sugar they gave them, into the cooking area, behind the register and on top of other guests, it was fine.I do wish they rethought their seating options. I have a bad back and chairs/benches with no backs are not welcoming.

Visited the restaurant with my daughter last night and the food is DELICIOUS! Pizza crust is reminiscent of our visit to Italy! The sauce is fresh and the toppings are just perfect. The service is quick and efficient. The gelato is a treat! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent pizza and staff, we felt very welcome from the time we walked in and ate entirely too much delicious pizza that stays true to it's Napolese origin. I visited Naples back in August and came here to see how close the Forno Napoli experience was to the real deal. Needless to say, we weren't disappointed at all. Very similar to the family pizzeria we visited in Naples, from the crust to the authentic Italian red rosso sauce.We'll be back many times. Hard pressed to find better Italian style pizza.

I think this is one of the best Neapolitan style pizzas I’ve ever tried. And I tried a lot of pizzas including a bunch in Naples Italy. Hats off to the owner and the chef. ?

The pizza was good. Most Buffalo pizza is awful but this place had fresh dough and quality pizza. The cannoli was covered in syrup and chocolate chips. The filling was fresh and the shell was very good. I enjoy more traditional flavors so I will order it again without all of the extra sugar. I will be back again.
