Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Potsdam. 5 out of 5 stars across the board. For a pizza shop the staff of two runs a great restaurant as well. For being close to the oven on a hot summer day it was surprisingly comfortable in there. The woman running the desk was so pleasant and attentive despite taking orders and organizing deliveries. The cook sang right along to some classics making a great environment. We went with the standard pepperoni pizza and they nailed it, fresh as hell, just the right crispy to the crust, and perfect mix of some great sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Highly recommend it! The two of us polished off a large it was soooooo good! read more

Waayyy too greasy for me! The wings aren't even worth trying. You're much better off going to Pizza Hut.

Your hot lava cake is not lava cake its a microwaved muffin with chocolate syrup.... very disappointing on a good note pizza was on point as always read more

I ordered some pasta that had hot peppers & chicken in it, a Pasta Riggies I think it was called. I also got a side salad & a garlic bread. I have to say that the pasta itself was pretty good. The sauce was creamy & flavorful & the hot peppers were a nice touch overall. I was disappointed by the amount of chicken it had though. It honestly had like 8 small cubes of chicken in it. For an $18 pasta you'd expect to get a whole chicken breast with it. read more

Potsdam Little Italy - a bowl of pasta and a salad - Italian Near Me - Potsdam, New York

Much more than a pizzeria, they've got a great menu! Somehow the marinara that comes with the yummy garlic knots looks plain yet is absolutely the most flavorful thing & the garlic knots are fresh. Love the decor. Prices are good and portions are large. Love their salads, meatballs, pizza & Italian entrees. Owner is generally on site & hands on making sure the food & service excel. read more

Had a quick bite at Little Italy. First time dining here. We sat inside, nice booths in a tight little restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly, we ordered a 6 garlic knots to start. They were warm and very dense - and loaded with garlic. Side of marinara was good. The main course consisted of couple slices and a sausage sub. The crust was extremely thin - if you like pizza that way, this is the spot. The sausage sub was a bit of a disappointment. The sausage was sliced into discs which made them fall out when you're eating it and the peppers were absolutely raw. Overall flavor was good but not what was expected. I'll be back for pizza and wouldn't order the sub again. Good food and reasonable prices. 3.5 stars. read more

Little Italy in Potsdam used to be flawless. We used to look forward to pizza night just about every week. Several times recently it's undercooked. Nothin like working all day, looking forward to a hot fresh pizza and then having to finish cooking it when you get it home..... read more

Would be a 4 but the boneless chicken was terrible. 6.50 for burnt yuck. Everything else was fantastic. read more

Potsdam Little Italy - Chicken tenders - Italian Near Me - Potsdam, New York

The food, the service, and the dessert were all great. We had pizza and cannoli both were awesome. The waitress was awesome as well we asked for a couple of other recommendations of places in town to eat she was spot on. We will definitely be back when we come back to town. If you are in the Potsdam area and looking for pizza then look no further this is your place. read more

family and I were visiting our old college town! We were so excited to eat at what was once upon a time our favorite restaurant! We ordered $130 worth of food and it was gross!! I wish I could get a refund!! We were all disappointed by the lack of taste and quality!! Chicken tenders were nasty! Fries with gravy were over cooked and disgusting! Poutine had barely any cheese and was expensive. Pizza was not what it used to be. When we went in to pick up the order, it was hotter inside than it was outside. The girl behind the counter was nice; however, she did not give us our pizza until we asked her. Overall, I'm saddened by this terrible experience and frustrated that $130 of my hard earned money was flushed down the drain. We will never return! read more

Place was okay, very little sauce on the chicken park sub. Would have to try something different for a better review

Got our order wrong twice, tv was on a loading screen for most of the time, some food was over cooked.

Great New York pizza! Just passing through and decided to stop. Definitely worth it!! We'll be back. Can't be soon enough!

My review was from many years ago my son was going to suny and we got to together for supper . I thought the place was dirty I look at floors and corners and tables bathrooms kitchen from a distance I was afraid to eat anything. And I see from our booth a kitchen staff worker setting up on prep area !! So gross ! I never went back again read more

Not impressed with the pizza. It seemed like it was pizza from the night before that was put in a toaster oven and then served

Food is good Great late night spot especially for college students. Customer service was good and decent pricing read more

Extremely small portions of pasta for the price. The pasta was cold and had very little sauce. Plus they left off two items from our takeout order (Wish I could get my tip back). My advice--skip this place and get a can of Chef Boyardee....you'll be get a better meal. read more

Garlic knots are pretty good! The pizza is just ok. I recommend Sergis instead if you want pizza.

This place is the worst pizza place to order from. Don't waste your money. The customer service is terrible, they are never on time, they over cook your pizza, don't cut it and then complain because your sheet pizza is taking up room. We put our order in at 6:30pm, it was supposed to be ready at 7:30pm, and we didn't get it until 8:15. The manager was yelling in front us about how our sheet pizza was taking up all the space. If I could, I wouldn't even give this trash can of a business half a star. The most unprofessional business I have ever seen. read more

The food is very good but it's not the same since they have changed their pizza maker several times. I usually just go to purchase the pizza crust to make pizza at home. They have the best crust around read more

It's hit or miss with these people. Sometimes the service is good and the food is hot and fresh and oh so quality. Sometimes they misplace your order and lie about it and make you wait straight through your lunch break and then send you back to work hungry. If you can stomach it, try that big double-decker meat slice. Good lord. read more

If I could pick 0 stars for this place I would- Being a rep I order all the time for my offices from different restaurants, this place is one that I ordered from more than a few times. With that being said I haven't ordered since Covid and thank goodness I haven't. I had ordered for a noon delivery... and since they weren't at the office when I arrived, I called. A gentleman answered the phone and he said the delivery should be there any minute... after 15 minutes it came ( they are literally down the street less than 5 minutes away. I was calm and I said to the guy we have to have these lunches on time as the providers have very little time for lunches... he then says to the guy next to him " this lady is yelling at me... I had not raised my voice once and simply said we need them on time. The driver brought in the food and said the paper products were in the car and took off. The food was absolutely gross... the chicken was burnt as you can see in the pic and the cheese on the ziti wasn't even melted. I apologized to the providers and will never order from this place again ! read more

Only been here once, our waiter was great and would check on us. The pizza was alright (there's the option to order by the slice, we got a large half and half vegetarian and golden knight) but the garlic knots are the bomb! read more

We had a Caprese salad, a Calzone, and a Stromboli. All were delicious. I could tell by the dough that if I ever get back I will definitely try the pizza. The staff was busy but very courteous and quick. I recommend this restaurant. read more

Ive just moved to potsdam and have tried this place twice and all i can say is,AWESOME!!!i loved everything i ordered and a great price too,

Decent pizza but service is awful. Ordered a pizza and didn't get it delivered for 2 hours after the call after the employee said it would be about a 30 minute wait. read more

Phenomenal Stromboli. Good pizza. Amazing Garlic knots. Owner is a really nice guy. Place is typically open at 2am on weekends. This allows for a nice late night snack. They have some booths but this place is really strong take out as well. I highly recommend. read more

Pizza was mediocre. I was asked at the register when paying with my credit card for $5.75 worth of pizza if I wanted to "leave the tip on my card." Tip? Tip for what? I walked in to buy 2 slices of pizza, eat at a booth and leave. You haven't done anything for me besides take my order. I'm not dining in or being waited on. Pretty rude if you ask me. Won't be returning. Also get a garbage can. There was no where to throw anything out. read more

Both went to college nearby. By far the best pizza in Upstate NY, and some of the best we've ever had. The stromboli are good, the garlic knots are to die for, and they always had an awesome assortment of slices (everyone should try the double-decker meat lover's at least once--heart attacks have never been so delish). To top it off, the staff there were always super nice. I would say something specifically to the person whose taste buds have quite obviously taken a turn for the worse after those Dominos binges, but hey, more pizza for us! The only downside of this place is that they don't deliver to Boston :P read more

This place is always amazing. And when I came here a few years ago and got the eggplant parmesan it was amazing! However I got a pesto pasta & then they gave me a pasta dish and what appeared to be oregano just sprinkled all over & I called the lady over & politely said, "oh I'm sorry ma'am I asked for the pesto pasta." And she said, "yes, that's it. Is it not what you wanted?" & I kinda just looked at it & I always feel bad to make a restaurant take something back so I just said, "no, that's okay. This is fine." I was really disappointed. I would never call just one seasoning pesto. That's ridiculous. It was just an alfredo pasta with some diced tomatoes. I however recommend their pizza - that's what they are known for. We also got fried mushrooms which were pretty good! read more

Potsdam Little Italy - Everyone else loved their meals though! - Italian Near Me - Potsdam, New York

Solid New York pizza to a Californian. You can order by the slice and it's very affordable. Crust is crispy and the toppings don't weigh it down too much. Probably have the biggest delivery radius of the places in town. And the garlic knots... on point. Cheers! read more

This place is probably the best pizza place in Potsdam. I've had a few slices from Little Italy, and the pizza is amazing. The pizza is hand-tossed with dough of good consistency. My friends and I ordered a pizza that we call the Meatza. It's an amazing double-stacked pizza with more meat than any other pizza that I've ever had. One of my friends said that the pizza is "accidently a deep dish" because each slice is weighed down by about 2 pounds of meat and cheese. They also serve wings and other pizza-place-like foods. If you are looking for a classic NY-style pizza, you can't go wrong with Little Italy. read more

Good pizza, cold garlic knots... cooks and staff non stop cussing about whatever drama was going on that day. I would recommend for the pizza for sure though! read more

I usually have luck with little Italy's. They don't always listen to my order very well but they're usually stopped by college students so I don't expect that much... Last night I spent 2 hours trying to get through. Finally I just decided to quit and have our pizza night tonight. Tonight I spent a while on the phone to be answered and put immediately on hold without asking for permission, which is a standard courtesy for telephone business. I politely informed the girl who answered finally of the time it took yesterday and today she offered no apology, which, again, would be standard practice. She merely told me I could order on the app for faster service. I don't like to use apps I prefer calling... Quite disappointed with the lack of customer care. read more

The food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly! The pizza had a perfect consistency and the homemade blue cheese was so good.

So there are at least 3 pizza place in Potsdam and thats only including the local heros. Throw in your pizza hut and dominoes and you are looking at quite a few pizza choices for little Potsdam, NY. So why Little Italy? They make some unique pizzas in addition to your traditional favorites that are definitely worth a try. I like the Meat Lovers (double decker pizza), the penne pizza, and the veggie. They also have a great buffalo chicken pizza and some other things I am forgetting. It is a smaller place with probably less than 10 booths but it is the perfect spot to stop in and grab a slice at lunch. Another great thing about this pizza place is that late night crowd. It is open until 3am on Thursday - Saturday, and maybe Wednesday too. Its typically a hot spot for people after the bar scene and is usually very fun. read more

We dined in for dinner, Booths are separated with plastic screens for social distancing. We did not preorder. Wait time was short. To start We ordered garlic bread, garlic parm and bbq wings. Wings were jumbo size and tasty. Garlic bread was nothing special. For main course we had extra large pizza half pepperoni. Pizza did not have much flavor. The pepperoni was fine. Staff working there was nice and service was great. read more

I'll start off with a positive. Their supreme pizza is outstanding. Everything else that I have received from there is POORLY made. Little to no effort is made by the kids who make the food (pizza at least). The garlic knots are terrible by the way. The service is absolutely terrible. If you order a blue cheese when delivering, don't expect to get it (this has happened 5 or 6 times). Delivery typically takes 1-2 hours. The last time I called, I was on the phone waiting 15 minutes for an answer on a Monday night (and they have you listen to a terrible music tone when you call). In addition, the staff is extremely unprofessional with drama and language. In my opinion, the only reason that they're in business is because they're in a college town. -5 years experience at a Pizza Restaurant in Rochester, NY read more

Their thin crust New York style pizza is still the best in the area, but... I called at 5:45 PM on a Tuesday to order a pizza, thinking it would take the usual 20-30 minutes. I was told that 7:45 would be the earliest I could pick one up. A two hour wait for takeout pizza. On a Tuesday. Not good. read more

Had great chicken Alfredo here yesterday. The place is a bit small but the food was liked by everyone in our group. We will definitely be coming here more often. read more
