Cup N Char Buffalo NY Pizza in Richmond offers a slice of Buffalo-style pizza life far from New York, capturing the spirit of that region’s iconic pies with a local Texan twist. This spot fits squarely into the casual, no-frills pizza restaurant category where the focus is on authentic flavors that resonate with those craving the specific combo of crispy pepperoni, thick crust, and hearty toppings typical of Buffalo, NY.

Stepping inside, the atmosphere is straightforward and welcoming, where the folks behind the counter clearly know their pizza and wings. It’s the kind of place you come for something familiar and deeply satisfying rather than a glossy dining experience. Whether you’re grabbing a couple of square pepperoni slices or sharing hot lemon pepper wings, the vibe feels like a neighborhood joint where the staff work hard to deliver what you came for—consistent, flavor-forward comfort food.

This restaurant appeals most to those who grew up in or love the Buffalo area pizza style, those missing that specific crunch and sauce balance, and wing enthusiasts looking for bold, straightforward seasoning options. Fans of subs are also well-served here, with options like the chicken finger sub or stinger making for hearty, sauce-slicked sandwiches that pair nicely with fries or the classic fried dough.

The best time to visit is likely during lunch or early dinner hours when you can beat the rush and enjoy freshly made slices or wings as a quick sit-down or takeout meal. Locals who return regularly often mention the consistency of the pizza crust and the complex flavor profiles of their wings and subs, an encouraging sign that this place maintains quality through busy evenings or weekend orders.

What sets Cup N Char apart is its clear dedication to replicating that authentic Buffalo experience—from the unique square slices to the balance of toppings and that thick yet crisp crust. It’s not just another pizza place in Richmond; it’s a spot where you can relive those regional food memories without the long drive back north. The atmosphere might not be flashy, but the genuine flavors and friendly, hardworking staff give it its distinct character.

I’m from Buffalo, and it’s tough finding good food, especially good pizza, here in Houston. Back home, we’re used to those mega-sized subs and pizza with crispy pepperoni and crust that just hits different. Cup N’ Char really brought that Buffalo flavor here, and I couldn’t be happier. The pizza is so good I’ drive 45 minutes just to get it everytime, no question. On top of that, their wings are crispy and full of flavor, which is hard to come by out here. It feels good to finally have food that reminds me of home and is actually GOOD! Can’t wait for more people in Houston to try it out you won’t be disappointed. GO BILLS haha

I've been going here practically since they opened up. Being from Western New York, Pizza and chicken wings was something I had just assumed that I had to trade out for Mexican food when moving down to Katy. For any one familiar with Picasso's pizza, it's borderline identical, but they add in so many unique varieties of flavors and pizza combinations that they definitely stand on their own. The Honey Crème is a current favorite! The Italian flavor (sometimes referred to as garlic parm) is also a staple. The chicken wings are nice and crispy, and the pizza has the crispy crust that quickly shifts into a soft interior for a delightful texture. I typically order a lot so that I can share with friends and boast about how superior a Buffalo pizza is to Detroit, Chicago, or NYC. Every time I enter the store to pick up my order, it's always a friendly greeting and and thoughtful small talk, a solid start-to-finish experience any pizza and chicken wing lover will enjoy!

I tried this place a year ago, and it left such a big impression on me that it was the first place I wanted to eat at when I moved to Houston. The all meat deep dish pizza is packed with flavor. You can literally taste the toppings individually in a single bite. Each slice is covered in meat with the perfect amount of sauce and grease. Then the crust brings the whole dish together. Now for my other favorite … the cheese bread. A++ We’ve even ordered just their cheese bread as a meal. Make sure you order extra sauce!

Nobu, that's me

Where to start, where to start, where to start…. Friendly people own and run this place. They work really hard. I could see it on every face. But how’s the pizza???? Well…. It’s actually flipping incredible. I’m flipping out that I have not been to this perfect pizza place before today. I’ve lived in Chicago, NY, basically lived in Detroit…. I know pizza. I live and love and dream of pizza. I’ll probably dream of this pizza tonight. It’s Detroit style (minus brick cheese?) but with a super light crust. In fact I’ll be shocked if I’m not back in days just for the crust. It’s amazing. Super stamp of approval. In fact

Love this place! I'm from Western NY and have had a hard time finding good pizza in Texas. One of my bosses who's from the same area as I am told me about this place and told me the owner is from Buffalo, so I knew I had to check it out. And it did not disappoint, I've been missing cup n char pepperoni since I left NY. Its about an hour drive for me, but it was completely worth it! The cashier was friendly and helpful, the dine in area is clean, welcoming and cute and the food was GREAT. I definitely will be returning and bringing friends!

Wings are on point, made the way they should be. Pizza was fantastic, dough and sauce were delicious. Tried the pepperoni, absolutely perfect. Nick was behind the counter, give this man a raise, or a high five, maybe a cold one, either way he deserves recognition for his excellent customer service. He was taking orders, getting the food out to the tables, getting things cleaned up, non stop moving. Even when a small line formed, he acknowledged each and every customer that came in. Between the food and the great service, I think I’ve found my new go to spot for wings and pizza.
