    Cheese and sauce flowing off of the crust.
    James H.

    Had a cheese and pepperoni pizza delivered. It arrived lightning fast, but the condition left a bit to be desired, it was so watery that topping flowed off of the crust. Tasted great though. Maybe next time I'll try eating at the restaurant.

    Small cheese and pepperoni pizza.

    A must try, they have been open for over 100 years says it all . Seeing bar stool pizza review made me want to stop and it didn't disappoint. I walked in and ordered a small cheese and pepperoni pizza to go. Took 15 minutes as promised . Never had an "upside down" pizza where the sauce is on top. It was very good . Lots of sauce , the pepperonis are totally covered . And the cheese looks to be sliced cheese to give it a perfect cheese layer. Keeps the dough nice and keeps from getting soggy and for being a small it was a good size for the money ,they do sell by the slice too. Can't wait to have my leftovers . So good

    A "must" just so you can say you have been here and tried it. It's been going strong for over 110 years. That clearly shows a lot of patrons love it! Unusual pizza - not like the usual American-style pizza. Crust is thick and becomes increasingly crisp and crunchy as it cools. Ingredients are scant amounts, so consider ordering double amounts. Steer very clear of the anchovies unless you absolutely love them. The anchovies are overpowering! Marinara sauce is 100% home cooked and heavy with tomato paste, which can be more bitter than sweet! It's ladled onto the ingredients in very generous amounts. The small pizza will easily feed three hungry adults. Prices quite reasonable. Ambiance? Ummmmm. LOL. You should try this place. You will either love it or shrug and say, "meh".

    The second oldest pizzeria in the country and a place you have to visit if you have not tried it yet. Their signature upside down pizza is hearty and tasty. The sauce is savory and full bodied. The dough is usually crispy. I would highly recommend the pepperoni pie and the sausage pie is delicious. Their pizza is the ultimate comfort food and perfect on a cold Winter day.

    Best pizza on earth. 100 years in business says it all. Dont miss it! We came all the way from LA for this.

    Only reason 2 slices are missing is I needed to eat SOMETHING.

    This wasn't a pizza, it was a massacre. It's rare I have a pizza so bad I have to write a review about it. But this. Was. Bad. No flavor. None. Sauce was completely tasteless, and the cheese was like glue. The dough was a greasy, burnt mess. I wanted to try their pizza because of the stupid Barstool Sports review. But good god I never will again I've gotten better pizza from Stewarts.

    Driving through Utica on our way home and wanted to grab a slice of their famous tomato pie. This place had good reviews and decided to stop on by. First off the employees were super friendly. I was waiting to order and asked about the tomato pie. He said unfortunately on Monday's they don't have any, but they did have pizza slices. He went on to explain that they have the sauce on-top and that they are the 2nd oldest pizzeria in America. I went and checked and they are. We ended up ordering 2 slices as well as their special which was sausage with potatoes, onions and peppers. We also got a chicken Riggies. The slices were delicious! Nice and crispy with a good sauce. It's messy so be prepared with lots of napkins. The sausage special was packed full on the container and very yummy. Will be eating the chicken riggies tonight and hoping it's just as good as the other dishes. All came with bread and recommend stopping here for some history, good pizza and food if you are in Utica!
