Lockport’s Favorite Slice Spot

"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 Pontillo's 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. I've been around the world I've had pizza everywhere I've been. Pizza is very subjective but I've 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!"
