Their Greek crust is some of the best you’ll ever have, and their Kosta’s Fries are soooo good! The owner is super nice too. And the prices? It’s like you’ve stepped back in time! Cash only though!

I frequently visited Kosta's during my bachelor days, drawn in by the delicious wings and affordable prices. Now, as a husband and father of three young kids, it's a rare treat for us to find a meal we can all agree on. Tonight was one of those special nights. Whether it was the pizza, wings, steak and cheese sub, or the gyro, everything was served promptly and there was more than enough to go around. The gyro was massive, as was the sub. Both the pizza sauce and wing sauce had a hint of sweetness, and the jumbo wings featured a light breading that made them both crispy and juicy. My kids paused their chewing just long enough to sing praises about their meals. It was refreshing to enjoy a different style of pizza compared to the typical NY-style slice that has become so common. Kosta himself remains just as he has always been—a dedicated man who takes pride in serving his community. I'm happy to have rediscovered this gem and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Fantastic, this place is a step back in time, a good time. Cash only becausewhat is a computer. He treats you like a friend. Locals were in there, giving the owner a hard time and he was giving it right back. The decor was put up when I was a kid, and I'm no spring chicken. The pizza was phenomenal, seriously. Crust was not burnt at all, buttery and chrisp on bottom and perfection in the center. The proportion of cheese to toppings were just right. I will be going back!

Best wings I've ever eaten! Pizza was on point too. We will definitely be driving back here for food soon and we live 1.5 hrs away! Delicious!

Better than NYC pizza in my opinion, best veggie pizza I’ve had in a long time. “We cook ‘em, you eat ‘em” that’s the owners response when we called and asked if there are any specials . This is a “CASH” only establishment, keep that in mind when ordering, they do have an ATM onsite for your convenience. Very friendly and happy person, greeted us with such a fantastic smile and demeanor. We were passing through on our way to Niagara Falls, needed some comfort food, the pizza did not disappoint.

Wow! This little Greek pizza corner store absolutely blew my mind! From the moment we walked in, the decor was just stupendous. The shop is filled with huge, beautiful, live hanging and potted plants. There is what I can only guess is some old Greek music playing, and a single, older, but incredibly upbeat and very funny guy running the whole show from behind the counter! He does it all, takes the orders, makes the food, waits the tables... all with a big smile and classic witty Greek banter! The food was absolutely fantastic. I had a gyro on my first visit and it was the best I've ever eaten! The wings on my next visit were cooked to perfection and came fast too! I would 'hands-down' %100 recommend this place to anyone! It was an all-around wonderful experience and I will definitely be back again and again!
