"The lady and I went on a Saturday evening before a show at Shea's, which is literally across the street from this restaurant. It was about 7pm and I'm glad we made reservations. This place was bustling with life, but the wait without reservations would likely scare off most people. So just go online and make reservations and you'll be fine. Their menu isn't huge, but it doesn't need to be. Everything we had was really tasty. We started with the Hot Pepper Dip and we both loved it. Our only criticism was that it wasn't a huge portion, but just enough for two people. It was cheesy and spicy and fantastic. We each ordered a pizza for dinner. They are probably 10-12 inch pizzas. We had the Buffalo chicken and the Za'atar. The buff chix was cooked perfectly and had some decent heat from the Buffalo sauce. The blue cheese cumbles really sealed the deal for that pie. The Za'atar was our favorite though. A very unique pie that I've never seen anything like on a menu. It was different but very accessible if you're worried about eating sumac and sesame seeds on your pie. The only thing that kept this from being 5 stars all around was that the service was quite slow. It was very busy, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful, but we definitely sat there for a solid 10 minutes before anyone came over to talk to us. I don't need to be served immediately, but at least bring me a water and take a drink order whilst we wait. Regardless, I'll definitely be returning next time I'm going to Shea's or the Town Ballroom."

"A group of girlfriends went there on a friday night. It was a great time, the food was delicious, and they were able to accommodate us. Food was promptly prepared and served. The server was nice. Perfect for couples and friends."

"Literally stopped eating the terrible pizza to write this review. Tastes and feels like cardboard. There is no sauce. Like actually, no sauce at all. The toppings are cube-shaped (even the prosciutto??) and just fall off due to there being no sauce. I have never had pizza so bad."

"Our family had a great meal. Very attentive service and a nice range of choices from pasta, salads, and pizza. Three of us got different types of gnocchi. Hands down the best gnocchi I have had. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Hearth + Press is a must stop if you are in the Buffalo area. The pizza is absolutely phenomenal - packed with flavor. The dough is tasty with a nice crunch. The toppings are fresh. And every pizza is made with expertise. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend Heart + Press."
