Picasso's Pizza

Picasso’s Pizza in Blasdell, NY, is a beloved Buffalo‑style pizza institution that has been feeding the Western New York region since 1980. Founded by the DiGiore family, the restaurant still uses the original dough and sauce recipes handed down from grand‑father Fioravante, who arrived from Naples in 1915. Every crust is hand‑stretched, every pepperoni slice is hand‑cut, and the mozzarella is layered to create a golden, bubbling edge‑to‑edge flavor. The menu features classic pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom pies, as well as specialty creations like the “Buffalo Chicken Blast” with hot sauce‑kissed wings, and the “Calzone Supreme” stuffed with ricotta and provolone. Side offerings include crispy chicken wings, cheesy garlic fingers, fresh garden salads, and hearty subs. Pizza lovers can enjoy the “Family Combo” that bundles two large pies, a dozen wings, and a 2‑liter soda for a value‑packed meal. The restaurant also provides catering for parties, school events, and corporate gatherings, delivering hot boxes across the Buffalo metro area. Open for dine‑in, carry‑out, and delivery, the Blasdell location serves customers Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday‑Saturday until 9 p.m., with moderate price points ranging from $10 for a personal slice to $22 for a large specialty pie. Inside, red‑brick walls, vintage pizza memorabilia, and a bustling open kitchen create a lively yet family‑friendly atmosphere. Customers can place orders through the website, DoorDash, or by phone, and they can take advantage of weekly promos that shave a dollar or two off select large pies. Free Wi‑Fi, a merchandise shop stocked with t‑shirts, and gift‑card options round out the experience, making Picasso’s Pizza a must‑visit for locals and tourists craving authentic Buffalo flavor.
