Crema's Take

Hearth + Press captures something special with its moody, intimate atmosphere and wood-fired pizza oven that fills the space with an unmistakable aroma of authenticity. Located near Shea's Theater, it's a natural gathering spot for creative types and show-goers alike, though you'll want to time your visit carefully to avoid the crowds. The pizza is the real draw here—when it lands, the charred crust and smoky flavors justify a visit, even if the execution can be inconsistent and the overall food program feels secondary to the coffee and cocktails that anchor this stylish space.

The pizza is very good, can't speak to the quality of the other menu items. Check the schedule for Shea's before going, it will be very busy when a show is going on. When there aren't any shows currently playing, or when the place just opens for dinner, there won't be a wait. The atmosphere is romantic and a bit dim.

Food was very average. The bread and "butter" was very strange. The butter was not creamy and seemed very oily. The other food was okay. Shrimp in salad was tough and Very overcooked. Very dark space, that set a weird mood. Service was decent.

This is really a beautiful place. The pizza was just ok. Slices were nice but it was very limp when you pick it up. The sauce needs more something. I wanted more but it didn’t give me anything. Hope to try them at dinner

Visiting my friend in Buffalo so we went out here for dinner. The smell was unreal, so good - authentic pizza oven! It was a bit strange to wait for our table to be set up prior to sitting and then it took a long while to get some water for the table. Once seated (with a baby stroller so enough space for that), we ordered hummus for an appetizer- very good. The Guinness was pretty good as well. I just got the eggplant and tomato sauce pasta (pictured) which was good, but I think needed a bit more sauce, basil and maybe salt. My friend got a chicken salad which was really good but the best thing was the burrata (not made in-house). Overall, our server was nice, but it took a while to order, get water and get the check. The toilets are very nice and the vibes is nice. Not sure if I would come back again but none of us got the pizza so might be worth it to try that! Not really great for vegans (only pasta or edited salad). But would check it out of a bite.
