Yelp has helped me find a lot of great eateries over the years, but if I've learned anything, Yelpers definitely have a blind spot for pizza. Peels on Wheels wasn't terrible, and I'd give it 3 stars if not for the way too high price point, inconvenient hours and ordering system, and worst of all - BURNT CRUST. Want to show up on a whim and grab a slice? Nope. Only during lunch, and only if they have any left. Want to stop by and grab a pizza without ordering ahead? No way, they'll likely be out or you're waiting over an hour. Also, better follow them on social media to make sure they're actually open or not on a weeks long Holiday somewhere. Those issues aside, with the rave reviews here and elsewhere I still had to try it so after one previous attempt to score pizza here, we tried again. This time we ordered ahead and made a special trip up. The pizza was on the bland side and the crust was overly charred and completely inedible. The sides and sandwich we ordered were decent, but again not worth the trip or inconvenience of eating in the car since there's no seating. That's not their fault though that we're not local, so I don't count that against them. Why a 2 star review if at least some of the food is decent? Because I strongly believe the "burnt crust is cool" trend in pizza is one that needs to end. I don't know why I see so many people pretending to enjoy burnt crust on pizza. I know there's differences in opinion, but I refuse to believe there are taste buds out there engineered to enjoy charred, black pizza crust. It's gross. Quit it.

Peels On Wheels does great vegan pizza! The toppings are extremely high quality. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but they had this kind of sundried sweet red bell pepper that was out of this world. I had that New York style with shallots, banana pepper rings, and vegan pepperoni. The owner works in the kitchen alongside his employees and really cares about producing superior pizza. Their pies are so much better than what you'll get ordering from a chain!

Amazing pizza. Thin crust and vegan options. We got the marinara with mushrooms. The quality is the best and you really need to preorder during special events as they have limited capacity.

Peels on wheels is everything everyone says it is it’s absolutely the best freshest. Most authentic pizza I’ve ever had people are amazing and The pizza is true best pizza in the country I’ve tried pizza everywhere I’ll put this one up against anyone’s strongly recommended
Probably the best pizza in New York let alone Rochester ?

As a native New Yorker, its been challenging to find quality pizza in Rochester but this place lives up to the hype. The pizzas taste like authentic NYC style pizza and I was very satisfied. The owner introduced himself and was very welcoming. I look forward to ordering again and this might become our to-go Pizza spot in Rochester.

The vegan pizza is very good! Only issue is both pizzas' crusts were completely burnt. Definitely willing to try their pizza again though!

This place has gotta have the best pizza and largest variety of pizza too. The Detroit style on Wednesday is truly something special.There is no seating, just a bar to stand and eat.
