Reviews for Hydraulic Hearth in Buffalo, NY
First time in, but I have been dying to try it since seeing the enormous patio during the summer. Pizza was perfectly cooked... with a sturdy crust and a grand amount of topping, Mozzarella sticks, rocked perfectly gooey but not too hot center and not toothick and crispy outer shell. My husband had the Alpaca Porter, said it was delicious. Will definitely be going back for more. Read more
Not cheap, but the food is yummy, the bartenders are nice, and the interior is cozy. Definitely a comfort place for me after... work. Read more
A nice place for casual pizza and cocktails with a lovely big patio. Friendly staff, fast service and comfortable... atmosphere. My one issue with this space is that it is basically located in Buffalo’s historical Black neighborhood (so closeto the Tops massacre site!!) and yet there is such a lack of the reflection of the surrounding community within the decor. Iwould love the space to feel more reflective and inclusive of the community it is located in. Buffalo is such a multiculturalcity which is its strength and the designer of the space seemed to overlook this (as I hope and assume it was not intentional). Read more
I came to Buffalo slightly disappointed that I couldn’t try the city’s pizza, I was beyond impressed with this place and... wouldn’t even consider it a compromise of trying New York’s pizza. The pizza was soft with sweet sauce and crispy pepperoni,the mozzarella sticks where literally the best I’ve ever tried. On top of that after waiting a long time for wings they cut tocost of them entirely. If you want delicious pizza and sides with caring service come here! Read more
Stopped in last night with a few friends for the first time. After our experience though it won't be our last. The bartenders... were great! Friendly and outgoing while making amazing drinks. Speaking of the drinks we had those were also fantastic. Theyalso have a great liquor selection with great prices. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. Read more
We were in the area and stopped by for a casual mid week dinner. A change since we have last been here is that the service... model has changed to more fast casual. The menu is the same but now you order your food and drinks at the bar and someone bringsyour food to your table when it’s ready. It wasn’t busy when we came and this was fine for us. The food here is alwaysgood, today was no exception. We both ordered pizza. The chicken pesto for him, he said it was good, and had plenty of freshingredients. I tried the gluten free crust on the mushroom truffle pizza. The gluten free crust was not bad, good flavor anddecent texture. I’d describe it more like a flat bread. There was a wonderful amount of truffle oil/ flavor and a generoushelping of arugula, mushroom and cheese. It was a nice and light pizza, kind of like a salad. I liked it and would recommend andorder it again. If you are in the mood for gourmet pizza and cocktails check this place out! Read more
Let me start off by saying the patio was extremely inviting. You walk into a huge patio/courtyard with open seating. You can... order your draft(craft beer) or margaritas and food at the bar. The service was very good and they bring the food to your tablethat you place a number on. You clear away your own dishes and trash to help the earth and keep the amount of busboys down. Thewood fired pizza was EXCELLENT to say the least, so good that I ordered an additional to take home. Their draft beer selectionwas good for some local brews as well as a few others. My wife ordered a frosé and loved it and we both enjoyed thepizza. While sitting outside we listened to the live band in larkin square right across the street while also enjoying the viewof the fire station as well. Overall great vibes, and great food. I highly recommend to all locals and even people coming intotown visiting. Read more
Great selection of drinks, including beers, wines, and cocktails. The pizzas are great, but they need to have more options for... size. The standard pizza is too much for one person, but not really enough for two (might be a good place to order a few with alarge group though). It gets really loud on Saturday. Definitely going back though Read more
