Casa-di-Pizza
After 62 years on Elmwood Avenue, Casa-di-Pizza moved downtown in 2015, making its mark on the revitalization of Buffalo's business district in its new home just off the burgeoning 500 Block of Main Street. Though the location has changed, the menu is much the same as before: at heart Casa-di-Pizza remains an old-school neighborhood pizzeria, Italian restaurant, and bar, whose food — chicken wings and fingers, subs, salads, sandwiches and burgers, pasta dishes, simple yet hearty homestyle entrees such as barbecue chicken and ribs, and, of course, pizza — is as delicious as it is unpretentious. One new addition to the menu are the "breakfast pizzas" served up to hungry downtown office workers on weekday mornings.

Zio and Co.
If custom-tailored menswear is what you're after (and money is no object), head over to the Sinclair Building for some of the most upscale threads Buffalo has to offer. The Zio experience is a personalized one: you first book an appointment for a fitting with owner Mark Nunziato, then you'll go over fabric and pattern choices together, then they'll build your suit jacket, dress shirt, pants, or whatever the case may be from scratch. As old-school as it gets, and with genuinely friendly customer service to match.
