I tried the beef on weck pizza from there once. Wasn’t overly impressed, but it was decent. I was recently there to get a couple slices while waiting for my furniture to be loaded at American Freight and it was good. Too bad though, it seemed like a good thing they had going.

I heard about this…really surprised seeing as how they were on diners drive-ins and dives
apparently one of the guys left and opened a competing store with practically the same recipe like 2 miles away.

I’ve heard Good Guys pizza is the same recipe because it’s people that used to work at Junction but left. In fact, it’s the style before Junction started going downhill. Next time I’m over in NT I’ll grab a Good Guy’s pie and report back. Used to love Junction for a rare artery clogging treat but the pizza I got there a few weeks ago wasn’t as good as they used to be.
Bozanna’s in Clarence I’ve heard is ex-Junction people too. I’ve had their pizza too and it’s very similar to old school Junction.

I had no idea Good Guys had any connection to Pizza Junction.
For those who haven’t tried Good Guys, it’s one of my favorites in Buffalo and I’d definitely suggest trying it.

Good guys and Junction have lived in harmony for years. Junction was still making good money. The closing had something to do with the new owner being a coke head, rumor has it.

^ Yeah, not saying Good Guys had anything to do with Junction closing, just that you can still get a pizza just like Junction used to make (or so I’ve been told it’s just as good).

My friend who I got this from on Facebook, is actually cousins with the guy who started Good Guys, he apparently was the running the place until leaving to open his open competing place.

I ordered a pie from them once while working in the area. It was ok at best but when I got the total when I picked it up I thought they had made me an investor in the joint. It was stupid overpriced.

Had the beef on weck pizza from there. It was pretty good, but not something I’d get again…although even if I wanted to I guess I couldn’t.
