17 Best Pizza Restaurants near Waterford

“I recently moved back to Erie after living in Philadelphia for 25 years, and I have been spoiled when it comes to Italian food, especially pizza, stromboli, and calzones. After trying dozens of places across Erie County, I was ready to give up hope of finding something that truly impressed me. Then I discovered Waterford Pizza and More, and my life is officially back in balance.😌

The pizza here is unbelievable. Everything is made from scratch. The dough is crisp on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, the cheese is very high quality and layered on in generous portions, and the sauce is bright, fresh, and perfectly seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and basil.

Let's talk calzones. The first one I ordered was the large Cheesesteak Calzone (risky move for a Philly guy), and it absolutely blew me away. It was huge, loaded with perfectly cooked steak and onions, a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and cheese sauce, plus a side of marinara for dipping. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — even compared to Philly.

Next up on my list to try is their Chicago-style deep dish. They use 2 FULL POUNDS OF CHEESE! I can't wait ... 🤩

I cannot recommend this place enough. This review might sound like a paid ad, but it’s not. I just love this place so much that I want everyone to support them so they’ll be around forever. They’ve truly made living in Erie again a much better experience for me. 🍕💯“

“The food was excellent and the french onion soup was the best. Maddie, who took care of us, made our experience here worth the trip. But, the story of the hotel/restaurant needs serious proofreading.“

“I have been to a few Little Caesars and I have to say. I have had the best experience in Waterford. The workers have all been very friendly. And fast service.“

“we came in today for the first time and were pleasantly surprised, had the prime rib and salad bar, everything was fresh and taste great. we got the chocolate cake dessert to go and the waitress said we would thank her later. she was right..amazing. we will definitely be going back. thank you for a great first experience, you have 2 new customers.“

“found there food trailer today at craft event meatballs where amazing the pizza holy pepperoni. Delicious food!!“

“I work in the activities department for Soldiers' and Sailors' Home and this evening we were very pleased with our outing at Maria's Pizza. Not only did their diverse menu hit the spot for many picky eaters, but it also provided a great family atmosphere. The staff was very kind and courteous, respectful of our Veterans and they served us with perfect time, especially since our crowd is typically not known to be very patient and/or have short attention spans. The pricing was well within budget, giving our residents the ability to splurge and go wild on a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Thank you so much for the amazing experience! This is not the last time we see Maria's!“

“very good food you won't be disappointed“

“great pizza and sub sandwich“

“we love their thin and crispy pizza. very friendly staff“

“They have the best wings!“

“Large spot with huge salads and gluten free pizza options.
Loved that they had something for me to eat, and that they took extra precautions for me as a gluten free person. Pizza did take a long time but probably because of the extra precautions. Salads were huge , everything was made just the way I ordered it.
Can't say it's the best gluten free pizza I've had but it was far from the worst.
Only 4 stars because the atmosphere wasn't for me . I like a nice cozy local hole in the wall.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid in the 90s. Grew up in Erie/Edinboro. I've taken friends here and they loved it too. I love that they have kept it close to how it was when i was a kid. Something about it just feels like home, and food is always delicious!“

“Highly recommend!!! It was clean and the staff were friendly, always checking up on the party throwers to make sure the kids were comfortable and entertained. Was amazed at the ability for kids to play games by swiping your wrist bands instead of inserting coins. Very affordable…“

“One of the better pizza places on Erie. It's not NYC pizza or Chicago deep dish but you're not there are you? Though you may desperately want to be. The wings are good too everything is as good as could be expected being made in a third tier city not known for that thing. You will not find any better anywhere else in the city that's for sure. Good work.“

“the service was very good and the meal was good. my complaint is the price. I ordered a raspberry ice tea and it only came in one size huge! cost as much as a beer. but the kicker came when we ordered two slices of pie to go. they charged us $7.00 EACH. then got home and had the pie later. it was all crust very little cream filling and huge dobs of whip cream. coconut cream pie. will never order dessert again. it was way over prices and was not a good pie.“

“I absolutely Love Sbarro The workers at this location are Wonderful Thank You 😊🍕🍕❤️“

“friendly staff and great food. reasonable prices as well. Would recommend the burger and quesadilla's. we traveled from Michigan and went to MA and ME trying to find good food and this ended up being our favorite.“
