Coppola's Pizzaria — Restaurant in Town of Ellery

One of my top pizza places, and my favorite in the around Chautauqua! My family comes from Pittsburgh to vacation in the area every summer and we've been getting Coppola's since the year they opened. Despite being very busy sometimes when we come in, the staff buzz around the back like bees and pump out pizzas in reasonable times. I can't remember a time when they weren't friendly or helpful. Plus it's a family owned business and we recognize many of the faces each time we return.

The storefront stands out from the moment you approach it, with a bright white, red, and green paint job. A couple of patio tables have given us some nice outdoor seating when the weather is right. Inside is small with a few more tables, drink refrigerator, and lots of decor with Andriaccio family photos. They added shelving by the counter during the pandemic to help organize and speed up the takeout process.

Now let's talk pizza! We LOVE the cup-shaped pepperonis! It's a shame most places don't use them, because the edges crisp and provide a great taste and crunch. Perfect amount of cheese and the sauce isn't acidic like some places where it's agitates the mouth and stomach. They also offer giant round and sheet sized pies which are great for our big vacation household! I'd love to try the unique shapes they've made too, like a Chautauqua Lake and Buffalo Bills pizza! A number of custom pizzas are also on the menu, but we always go with the classic cuppies! Whether it's getting our traditional first-night-at-the-lake pizza for dinner, or a quick lunch when we participate in the Bemus Point art shows, they're always convenient. Can't say enough about this place and we'll be...

We had ordered some take out while staying in the area for a few nights. We were sadly disappointed. To start the delivery took quite awhile to arrive. The food was ice cold and the wings and fingers weren’t packed properly so they were soggy. We tried The Godfather pizza, which is the premier pie on the menu and is advertised as the best seller since 2008. Most pizza places I have been to previously would load the premier pizza with toppings. This came out looking sad and bare. The crust was a little soggy and the quality was slightly above a frozen pizza. The wings has decent flavor but as I mentioned before were packed without punching holes in the lid of the styrofoam container. The texture was soggy and a bit rubbery from this. Finally, the chicken fingers were slightly more crispy than the wings. But their texture was also was hurt by the packaging. The quality of the chicken was poor. It was a ground up chicken patty, definitely the cheapest quality frozen stuff you can find. If you are in the area you would be better off finding something else. We ordered leftovers as snacks and ended tossing it all out because the original meal was so disappointing.

Also to note when we arrived at our rental house there was a Coppola’s box in the trash with a lot of pizza left from the...

We’ve been ordering Coppola’s pizza for years and our experience last night gave me the nudge to write this review. I’ve always loved their plain jane cheese pizza. Their other pizzas don’t come with many toppings when you order toppings, but I’ve always loved the cheese pizza anyhow. It was our first time ordering wings. I placed my order over the phone. I told the gal we wanted spicy wings, like the “buffalo” wings from our area. She asked me if I wanted hot or mild- I requested mild. Upon picking up our order, we smelled a bbq sauce smell. I thought that was strange. When we began eating our takeout dinner these wings tasted sweet without a hint of spice (I’m talking no spicyness at all, nada, just sweet). I called to ask about our order since we just spent $40 on a cheese pizza w/ 20 mild “buffalo” wings. The kid that answered the phone put me on with a “manager.” He said “yeah, that’s how our mild wings taste” when I expressed our confusion and disappointment. No help, no offering to make our order correct, or any kind of customer service at all. We will no longer be ordering from Coppola’s. If you want good wings, this is not the place. We will stick w/ Lena’s from here on out. We Highly...
