Few bars serve pizza around here, and among those that do, most use premade crusts that are not even as good as what you'd find at a convenience store.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-10052109534598863142012-07-31T16:13:17.988-04:002012-07-31T16:13:17.988-04:00Acme's an A- or at least a B+ in my book.

You can always click on the "A" label to bring up my top-rated places, but a Top 10 is not a bad idea. <br />As for Acme, I've had excellent, and not so great, pizza from there. So the problem for me has been consistency. But it's been a long time and it is probably due for a revisit.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-24159440248599401732012-03-01T16:59:30.400-05:002012-03-01T16:59:30.400-05:00I couldn't help but notice your rating of B- s...I couldn't help but notice your rating of B- still looms over one of the best pizzas in Rochester/Western NY! I have followed your suggestions and even went to some places twice just to make sure, and still think ACME should be up there with The Pizza Stop, Guida's and a few others. Yes, this place is a bar, but they hired someone who knew their $@%* when it came to making a killer pizza. I haven't tried their other stuff, but hear it's good as well. If not for the bar part and street parking, I think ACME would get noticed much more than they already do. I split a large pepperoni and pitcher of root beer with my wife and kids on a Saturday afternoon and we left extremely satisfied. The crust is very flavorful, not too chewy, has a nice weight to it, and has a nice, crunchy butt end. Tastes like good bread, not bland and ritz crackery like some others. Yes, there are places in town that have enticing pizzas of every combo under glass for you to drool over, but underneath all those toppings sits a bland, tasteless crust. The crust should be edible on its own and have at least a hint of yeast or tartness in my opinion. This pizza's gooey cheese seems to have a high butter fat content since you may have to sop up some of the oil with your napkin. The oil keeps things lubricated as you chew- like bread dipped in olive oil. I would choose plain cheese at ACME over some totally loaded pizzas at other shops. ACME does just fine as a bar, pizza just happens to be a bonus. ACME pizza is well known to the bar hoppers, but overlooked by guys in the burbs. Hopefully this blog can turn non/casual drinkers on to this place. I go there any time I am near downtown. I think ACME should change their name to ACME Pizza Pie Emporium- and bar. Hey, if this is the only way I can get to a bar to shoot some darts or play pool, GREAT! <br /><br />Also, A top 10 list would be a great list to reference in a rush from a mobile device.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-91626662141234557082012-01-20T12:41:46.880-05:002012-01-20T12:41:46.880-05:00Time for a return visit, I guess.

I have noticed they use less cheese than they did in the past. Maybe it's due to the economy. Anyways, I love it more with less cheese. The crust was soooooo perfectly thin that it couldn't handle the weight of the cheese before. When searching for a scene of the Ramones eating this floppy style of pizza I came across these funny pizza related videos:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n89pKPmAfIk&feature=player_embedded#! <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsMkepJIXRA&feature=related<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEGgaDCW_tIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-5065467239032825142010-06-27T12:49:20.358-04:002010-06-27T12:49:20.358-04:00I discovered Acme's pizza years ago when out w...I discovered Acme's pizza years ago when out with my friends who were regulars to the place. After seeing people ordering and scoffing down burning hot slices I got hungry enough one night to try it myself. I couldn't believe how good the pizza was. Extremely floppy, more gooey cheese than you can imagine, and great pepperoni. I rarely complain about too much cheese, but with the crust as thin as it is, less cheese would make the pizza easier to eat. I still can't believe that a sports bar can make such a great pizza. Definitely in my top 5.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498492690679301595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-27815405608400470232009-11-23T07:57:49.297-05:002009-11-23T07:57:49.297-05:00I think I do have that kind of metabolism, but it&...I think I do have that kind of metabolism, but it's not as if I'm putting away a large pizza every night. A slice or two at lunch, and pizza for dinner maybe once a week. Maybe I can get some kind of gig out of this like that Jared guy from Subway - "I eat nothing but pizza every day and I'm not fat!" On second thought, it would probably be doing ads for Pizza Hut, so forget it. Actually, if all I could eat was Pizza Hut I can guarantee you I wouldn't gain weight, because I wouldn't eat any more of that stuff than I had to to stay alive.<br />Speaking of Big Deal, I gave it a D shortly after it opened, but I recently went back to see if things had improved. I'll have a review up in the near future.Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-41639520135332421612009-11-21T16:17:07.516-05:002009-11-21T16:17:07.516-05:00Acme is way better than Big Deal down the street, ...Acme is way better than Big Deal down the street, drunk or not.<br />Big Deal pizza slices are so heavy... it feels like lifting bricks.<br />PS... you eat a lot of pizza!
