    two slices missing

    I've noticed this little spot in JC for a while and always wanted to give it a shot. The restaurant is quaint and very clean. Ordered a chicken wing pizza to go and had a draft beer. Bartender was very polite as well as the manager (maybe owner?) I was handed the box as I paid my bill and headed home. I could tell this was a loaded pizza since it was pretty heavy. The pizza itself has a good flavor and the chicken is fried to a crisp but to a tasty level. I would have given this pizza and restaurant a pretty high review but the amount of grease was unsettling. Per the pictures below I had to clean my car as well as my home bar because the amount of grease spilled out of the box and was actually pooled in the box. I by no means am the dab the pizza with a paper towel to wipe off the grease kind of guy but in order to save a few years on my life, i had to in this case. Hope they get this figured out because overall it's a nice privately owned shop with what looks to be good ingredients. The grease however makes it close to inedible.

    Chicken Spiedies was delicious. It's a six inch sub with grilled chicken, peppers, and onions. It was quite good and that's despite the fact that I opted out of the cheese. The staff was well intentioned, asking every so often if I needed this or that, and even struck up a convo about where I was from. Overall, good experience.

    Enter and the garlic hits you before the warm smiles and friendly greetings at the host stand…read more Leave and the garlic has fully invaded the soft tissues of your mouth. Wake up the next morning and it matters not what toothpaste or mouthwash you used, garlic! Love the food here trumped only by the service. Gabby was terrific! I haven't had bar service here so no can't comment. Oh, and lead with the garlic cheese bread. We'll be back! Thank you!

    If you're looking for a slice of Binghamton history served with a side of old-school Italian charm,…read moreCortese Restaurant is essentially a local landmark. Since it first opened its doors in 1947, it has been a staple of the community, maintaining a vibe that feels like a step back into a more classic era of dining. Here is a breakdown of what makes this "East Side Institution" a must-visit: The Atmosphere & History Founded by Angeline Cortese and her sons, the restaurant has remained in the family for nearly 80 years. It's the kind of place where the booths are cozy, the lighting is dim, and the service is professional yet warm--making it just as suitable for a milestone anniversary as it is for a casual Friday night pizza. Menu Highlights The Homemade Sauce: This is the heart of the kitchen. Reviewers often describe the sauce as perfectly balanced--tangy with a hint of garlic and a natural sweetness from vine-ripened tomatoes. It's rich without being heavy, and it coats their fresh, homemade pasta beautifully. Veal and Peppers: A standout for fans of traditional Italian comfort food. The veal is tender, and the sautéed peppers add a sweetness that complements the savory notes of the dish. It's a hearty, authentic choice that showcases their "from-scratch" philosophy. Mozzarella Sticks: Forget the frozen variety; these are a fan favorite. They are hand-breaded and golden-fried, often served on a sampler platter or as a standalone starter. They are exactly what you want: a satisfying crunch followed by a perfect cheese pull. Baked Clams: Prepared in the classic "Oreganata" style, these are a sophisticated way to start your meal. They come topped with seasoned breadcrumbs and a touch of lemon and white wine, capturing that seaside Italian flavor. Tiramisu Cake: No trip to Cortese is complete without dessert. Their Tiramisu is light, airy, and layered with the right amount of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone. It's the perfect, not-too-sweet finish to a heavy meal. Pro Tips for Your Visit The "Hot Pie" Pizza: Cortese is famous for its unique rectangular pizza. The sauce is tangy, and the pepperoni is tucked under the cheese, which prevents it from getting greasy and keeps the flavor locked in.
