Johnny LaBella's

This takeout-only shop is located in a plaza on Transit Rd in East Amherst. They seemed to be busy when I went in to pick up my order and the person waiting on me said they are short staffed (like most places these days). He was very personable and talkative.

We ordered 10 Hot wings (14.99), a steak roll (9.99) and a meatball roll (9.99). The rolls were similar to a calzone but they are open on each end. The meatball calzone was full of meat and cheese and wasn't overly doughy but the steak one was more doughy with less substance. We did enjoy both but I don't think I'd order them again. I prefer their subs because the dough to filling ratio is better! The wings were average size, not large like some establishments and a bit on the dry side. They weren't the best but we enjoyed them. The wing sauce wasn't very hot so I added my own hot sauce to them to give them a bigger kick.

We don't live in the area so it's not a place I would frequent, but it's decent and the prices are pretty average for E. Amherst.

Been going here for years and the quality has gone way downhill...... This sub was horrid, no turkey, burned on the bottom roll ( a turkey sub roll?), and a million onions ( and I love onions).......

Everything I ever got here has been great. Some of the best text specials around, and if a deal is what you seek, this is the place. Owner and staff are top tier, and will continue to order here due to the upper echelon customer service.

Tried a large pizza (cheese and pepperoni) and some medium chicken tenders with fries the other night and they were very tasty. The French fries stayed very crispy, which I feel like is very hard sometimes to get French fries to stay that way! I like their pizza sauce because I would say it is on the sweeter side and not too acidic. My mother in law mentioned they have a text club where they text you daily specials they are offering, so I will be looking into that as well!

I recently had a Friday fish fry craving and we ordered from here. I was skeptical, in that this place is mainly a pizza, wing and sub joint, but it was actually amazing! Perfectly breaded and well-portioned fish filet, and thick but still crispy, well-seasoned fries. Came with coleslaw and potato salad. The tater salad was a little bland but the coleslaw I liked, plus with the takeout they throw in tartar sauce, ketchup and a lemon wedge (the malt vinegar in the pic is my home stash) ;-) One fry was just enough for 2 meals. And it was nicely packed up with foil and wax paper inside sturdy cardboard so no leaks and it stayed warm til mealtime. Really glad we decided to try it!

And while I'm here, I'm pretty sure I've had their pizza a few times at various Rolly Pollies kid birthday parties. I've seen some reviews here complaining of bland sauce or borderline undercooked pizza. These things can very much be positive features when it comes to kids who don't like anything to be too "spicy" (or season-y) and are loathe to eat anything that even comes close to well-done. I've never noticed the amount of sauce but they are generous with the cheese and have the nice cup n char pepperoni. Delivery has always been on time, but order well ahead if you need sheet pizzas.

This place is solid (and conveniently close by), so I hope to try more of the menu. In the meantime do yourself a favor and go get their fish fry!

It was 6pm...I had worked a 10hr shift and didn't feel like going out to eat or even making dinner. My house was HANGRY and so was I!
My daughter had been wanting to try Johnny LaBella's and so I loaded the app on my phone and placed my order.

Large pepperoni/onion pizza-half mushroom
Full ham sub OIL MAYO ONIONS TOASTED
Full capicola sub O M O ...toasted too
Order of fries

...approx 40min later a smiling young man approached my door with the order 20min ahead of schedule!
Yay me!
The pizza was NY style and the best I have had! Fresh mushrooms, perfect amount of sauce, cheese and ingredients!

The subs were perfectly dressed!

And the fries were so hot and crispy!

Next time...the wings!
Love this place!

Very disappointed!! Bought a $25 Pizza, dough was under done, wasn't fresh, cheese had a weird texture and taste, just not good! Not sure I'd order from them again.

Yet again, our family loves the pizza here, when we actually get it! This is now the second time we have shown up and our pizza was "given" to someone else. Last time we were told we had to pay for the pizza with additional toppings that we had not ordered, and this time our pizza was "given" to someone else, and would have had to wait another 15 minutes for our order. We recently decided to come back after a hiatus because the pizza really is awesome! The world is short staffed right now, and I TOTALLY appreciate and get that, but the rudeness is just not necessary.

Great pizza and great service. Ordered New York Style Pizza and wings on Yelp for pick-up. Pizza and wings were hot and ready on time. Thin crust, crispy, very tasty. Definitely on my repeat list. My kids devoured it all.

I ordered a turkey sub that wasn't even good enough for the trash. It was brown in one side and when I opened it up from the wrapper lettuce and turkey just flopped out. The toasted bread was as hard as a rock and I had to throw the whole thing away because it smelled rotten.

The pizza was fine. Chicken wings okay. But I have never had food where it was bad I had to just toss it without looking back.
