The Pizza Chef

Since moving to Rochester from NYC in 2020, we have searched high and low for a good traditional slice. I’m always disappointed by the chewy “crust” and misshaped and uneven slices (a pie cut into 16 soggy slivers, huh???) Well, the search ended yesterday when we walked into Pizza Chef in Fairport and were greeted by a real-life pizza parlor! Complete with pies cut in 8 triangular shaped slices with thin crust! One bite into the delicious thin crust and I felt like we were smack dab back in the city. I can’t compliment them enough. Anyone looking for an authentic NYC style slice, this is your place. Compliments to the Pizza Chef! 🍕 👨🏻‍🍳

First time at this restaurant. It was amazing. The staff was personable, friendly and professional. The food was exceptional and the prices very reasonable. This will be our new pizza place. Highly recommend...

Just grabbed three slices of pizza here today, and honestly I wasn’t very impressed. One of the three slices was very salty, and all of them were overly greasy. I love a good pizza that drips grease from the cheese, but this thing was just greasy at the crust which I found to be very unappealing. There wasn’t very much flavor to it either, just kinda salty. As someone who is from Buffalo and has had many good pizzas, this just wasn’t good. Pizza Stop is definitely better than this place. It was worth trying I guess, but I definitely won’t be back.

Our neighbor recently recommended Pizza chef so we gave it a whirl after some other very well respected pizza places in the Fairport/Bushnells basin area have REALLY fallen off. Pleased to say after ordering a couple times from here that we have a new favorite for NY style pizza. It’s been consistent each time we’ve ordered so far and tastes great. The style of pie is very reminiscent of the classic slice shops on the corners in Manhattan. Not overpriced either so the value proposition is great! Definitely worth trying if you’re craving that style of pizza. And the people working there have always been nice and pleasant. Looking forward to trying the sandwiches and other menu items in the future too.

So I am not the one who is ordering pizza in our household but I do have to eat it when it is being ordered. The flavor is nothing but grease and cheese. The person who orders asks for extra toppings but when the whole pizza is nanometer thin and collapses when picked up I can't really excuse it. This pie sucks and consistently too, had to endure this 3 times in the last month and a half. The funny thing is I had good pizza here before a couple years ago but when I suggested to try Pizza Chef a month ago I can do nothing but regret my actions now. Still eating this stuff randomly, tonight they got a pizza that wasn't even cut and pooled in it's own grease. Free to me but oof I feel bad having to pay for that. Remember Arriverderci's? That's the last time Fairport had good pizza.
