GREEN QUEEN AT BUFFALO STATE PIZZA

Buffalo State prides itself on gimmick-free New York-style pizza and beer. The pizza speaks for itself, so you won’t find frequent menu changes or supplemented options of pasta and frozen-to-fried apps.

Choices range from an XXL 26inch party-sized pie to individual slices. If you’re really into the dough, you can get a calzone. Meaty, plant-forward, basic, gluten-free—they’ve got it (with the exception of vegan cheese).

The Green Queen is topped with roasted broccoli, mild but crisp red onion, green pepper, black olives, barely detectable spinach, and goat cheese crumbles. Spicy red pepper flakes are a welcome addition, and for a custom taste, try adding pine nuts and bacon. On its own, the Green Queen makes ordering a serving of veggies feel like you’re getting away with something. The goat cheese and black olives add a twang of saltiness, while the fine pieces of roasted broccoli and fresh red onion provide the slightest crunch. It’s not a saucy pizza—the thin layer of pizza sauce keeps the flavors grounded without drowning it.

Don’t think for one second that this is about nutrition. We care about your health, but not necessarily more than we care about damned good ‘za.
