South Buffalo’s sensational go-to pizzeria, Imperial Pizza (1035 Abbott Road), is opening a location at Sinatra & Co.’s Mid City Apartment building, not far from Canisius College, which was recently awarded university status.
This is significan news for the developer, which is also in the process of building out spaces for Raw Renewal Yoga and Barre Centric (learn more) in the Mid City building.
Imperial Pizza’s South Buffalo location is a huge draw for pizza lovers that are looking for the well-rounded sit-down pizza experience. Similar to that location, the Mid-City spot will be fairly large, at 4,758 square feet. It will have a bar, and a banquet room for larger parties and events.
When it comes to sit-down pizza restaurants in the city of Buffalo, that offer all of the bells and whistles, there aren’t a lot of options. Sure there are plenty of take-out pizza places, but not much in the sit down, order a round of beers, and happily await an order of Buffalo style pizza category. Imperial Pizza filled a niche in South Buffalo, and now they’re going to do it again at Mid City.
From specialty pizzas to chicken wings to triple-decker club sandwiches and loaded subs, people travel far and wide to eat at Imperial Pizza. And now, the trek will be short and sweet for anyone living along the Metro Rail route, the near East Side, or even the Elmwood Village and Allentown.
Imperial Pizza pretty much has it all, including fried chicken dinners, taco salads, and daily specials (see menu). It’s the type of place where everyone feels special, whether it’s a college outing or a family affair. The atmosphere is spacious and lively – perfect for date nights, work meetings, and even sitting solo at the bar.
It’s nice to see some more casual Bufalo-style restaurant options popping up along middle Main Street. Now, let’s get the street fixed up with some smart infrastructure and infill.
Middle Main (Goodell Street to Kensington Avenue): The City has secured $50.52 million in funding to complete a streetscape work on Main Street from Goodell Street to Kensington Avenue. The City is currently designing phase 1 of the project, which includes Main Street from Goodell to Ferry Street. Phase 2 of the project features streetscape work on Main Street from Ferry to Kensington Avenue. The project is being referred to as the Middle Main Smart Corridor.
Sinatra & Co. is anticipated to embark upon the buildout of the new Mid City Imperial Pizza location at 1661 Main Street in coming weeks.
