Lock City Pizza - Lockport (NY)

5 /5 Jeff Shorr: I rarely leave reviews but this place is REALLY unique. They have been making amazing pizza for as long as I can remember (25 years or more). My parents ordered from them regularly for years. When my mom passed away last year, our entire family was home for the services and we ordered from these guys. When I walked in to pick up our pizza, the entire staff immediately offered their condolences for my mom and said tonight the pizza was on them in honor of my mom. It was such a sincere gesture and I will remember it always. I tear up today just thinking about and these guys are first class. This is the place to spend your money if you are buying pizza in Lockport NY.

5 /5 Adam Coleman: Besides the crust, this is outstanding pizza. Im just more of a fan of crunchier, thinner crust but the flavor of the crust was still good. We got a pepperoni and mushroom. The mushrooms on the pizza were the winner. Done perfect and tasted amazing. Sauce was just right. Not to tangy, not too sweet and saltiness was perfect!

5 /5 Terry Bowler: 10/04/2025 Lock City Pizza — My Hometown Favorite I’ve had pizza from Athens to Oslo, from Las Vegas to New Hampshire and all points in between but nothing tops Lock City Pizza. This is my holy grail — the taste that shaped my childhood. I actually lived above their original shop on East Ave, and that smell of baking dough still sticks with me. The name may have changed over the years, but the pizza hasn’t — same recipe, same perfection. Baked at 600°, the crust comes out crisp and chewy, just like I remember. One bite and I was right back home again. Whether you call it Lock City or Pontillo’s, it’s still the best pizza I’ve ever had — and always will be. My rating is a 5 Star but the story goes way back when they were Pontillos on East Avenue, then Walnut St up in the city. The menu is simple - you do one thing you do it right. Lock City Pizza does it right! This is my all time favorite and nothing can ever change that. Ive been around the world Ive had pizza everywhere Ive been. Pizza is very subjective but Ive had three great pizzas. One in Athens Greece, one in Oslo, Norway and Lock City pizza. Whenever I get to make my way home this is a must stop because it is the best!
