worth the cost?. edie's pizza is probably the best tasting pizza around hamburg, but it's definitely not worth the money. at one point, they had decent chicken wings, not comparable to duffs or the anchor bar, but they were satisfactory.
the staff is horrible at taking phone orders. over the many orders i have placed, they have given me chicken fingers instead of chicken finger pizza, with no offer to make it right, and delivered to the wrong apartment countless times....making my wait time over 2 hours for food...again with no offer to make it right. also, a total cost would be nice to have over the phone instead of always having to ask and get an "estimate." if you haven't noticed, their prices just went up, making it the most expensive pizza in hamburg. i had a friend tell me he bought 2 and 1/2 subs for some friends and it cost him $31 dine in.....crazy....here's a list of some of their price increases on menu specials:
large cheese & one topping pizza & 20 wings: was $25.99, now $28.99
large cheese & one topping pizza & 30 wings: was $30.99, now $34.99
large cheese & one topping pizza & 50 wings: was $36.99, now $40.99
sheet cheese & one topping pizza & 50 wings: was $46.99, now $51.99
so besides the $4 average increase on all of their prices, there are a few other things you may not have noticed that edie's has changed recently. their chicken wings are getting smaller and smaller (and at around $0.70 each there's not much meat on one of these little guys). they also started adding a new spice to their sauce (which i believe is cayenne) and has (in my opinion) negatively changed the flavor of their medium and hot wings. and like most pizzerias, being nickel and dimed for each extra mini blue cheese you want is a just another part of the whole process you have to deal with. you know it's bad when you like extra sauce on your chicken wings and you have to get on their case each time to put more on....and that's when some of the tweenager employees get downright rude. the last time i ordered med/hot wings at edie's, they came with no sauce, even though i asked for the wings to be smothered in it. i guess they must be rationing it?
while i can't give you a great local alternative to edie's pizza i can say this, my friends and family no longer order this food because of the big price increase. we felt it was not worth it and are willing to settle for picasso's or nino's pizza instead, at a much cheaper price. sometimes we even find it worth the 17 mile drive down to ellie's deli in silver creek to get a little slice of heaven at half the cost.
