I think they've improved over time but sadly haven't gotten any cheaper. Lately their garlic pizza with onion has been quite good. It's annoying when they want you to use their app and then don't give you the best price. Ordered a sheet online and used a 10% off coupon as they want you to do if you order online. They have the coupon specifically for online only. However I get here and sheets are $6 off and I didn't get that price. They would correct it either because I'd used the 10% off coupon. Make up your mind. You want me to use the app or not. Annoys me to no end and frankly leaves me with a very poor experience. From now on I'll call and take up their time and find the best price if ordering and waste their time. read more

Wanted to give them a try. Not very impressed. The pizza was undercooked and barely covered in cheese. I ordered a Cheese steak salad which was basically ice burg lettuce with a small strip of over cooked steak and nothing else. Was hoping for a close place with good pizza and salad. I think I'll stick with Nirchi's. So a few years later Pudgies got worse. I ordered food. None of it was cooked. The employees there would not help me. I was in the store. Would have loved them to try to just cook my raw dough and unmelted cheese. Where is management? read more

From my time spent in Elmira for graduate school, I am a Pudgie's fan. Then we moved away, but were recently back in the Broome County area for a road trip ... only to discover that Pudgie's opened up in Vestal! So we added it to our nostalgia-eating-extravaganza. :-D Same as Pizza Hut has that undeniable consistent chain taste that when done well is really good, Pudgie's has that same satisfying recognizable flavor of their own. My husband and I shared a medium pie, and I gobbled up my half faster than I care to admit. :-P The sauce is slightly sweet, the dough has a nice chew, not too thin not too thick. The cheese was salty and stringy. This pizza is altogether YUM. My husband also had some hot wings, which he really enjoyed. They weren't huge, but were plenty meaty enough with a nice slightly crispy skin. We dined in, and this former Burger King has plenty of booth seating. The counter staff was very friendly. It wasn't busy when we came in, so it was a short wait for our food. It's nice to see that the Pudgie's chain has expanded to Vestal. We thoroughly enjoyed our memory-lane-pizza, and when we're back in town someday will surely do it again! :-) read more

This is one of our go to stops on every visit we make to the Binghamton area (NC residence here). The food is always great, and the staff is always accommodating. On our most recent visit yesterday, they went to the extra mile for us. Good service is always hard to find but greatly appreciated. read more

The pizza is always amazing (ask for light sauce), the wings are always crispy with a nice amount of sauce. The tuna sub is the best in the area by far! read more

Called and clearly ordered two crispy boneless garlic wings one with two extra cups of blue cheese on one. Got two bone in garlic wings but short the second extra cheese - which doesn't matter if I don't want what they sold me. read more

I know website this before about many restaurants here in New York but the recommendation of this pizza place is also one that should be not only known as Pudgies but called A huge disappointment. Many pizza places in the Tri-Cities and once again West Swan was recommended to us and found out to be horrible and overpriced and one of the worst pizza places possibly and the Tri-City. I found this pizza to be possibly undercookedAnd an edible. Hard to believe that people recommend this to newcomers in the area. I find myself to be a connoisseur of pizza and think this is some of the worst possibly on the market even a frozen pizza would be Better than this. COVID-19 or not I would not eat here again. Hard to believe that people recommend it. read more

I love pudgies but this one still seems to be getting their act together, and as others have noted the prices here are way too high. I've been here a couple times now. The pizza was good both times but I feel like the sauce was a little different than the binghamton location, it seemed a little more sour. I got wings twice and they're alright. the 2nd time I ordered them extra crispy and they were actually less crisp than the first time when I didn't order them that way the first time I went the service was fine. the 2nd time I went it seemed a little hectic, they screwed up the order of the person in front of me. She seemed ok with it but I would have been mad if I was in their shoes, I hate having my time wasted. Overall you're better off going to Vestal Bakery, their pizza is great and it's a lot cheaper read more

This pizza was so greasy. Cost $32.00. Very disappointed. Always a little but not like this. read more

Had Pudgies a few years ago in Ithaca and Cortland. It was a solid 4 star there. Good amount of cheese & sauce evenly distributed, crisp crust bottom with warm bread in the middle. This one needs some help. Very little cheese (maybe next time I'll order extra). Also not evenly distributed. Its a real shame because the place was packed for 1-2 weeks since opening and now is barely occupied. Goes to show people like Pudgies at other locations but either management/employees need to be educated or changed. Many young kids cooking (first job?) I hope this helps turn things around before its too late. We want to support local. I may come back and review again to see if things changed. A few reviews complain of the price but I think it's fine. read more

Horrible food. I regret even trying this place out. That's how bad the food was. You'll pay a premium for small portions of disgusting food. You walk in hungry and walk out sick to your stomach and $30 poorer. I'd stay away but try it if you dare to waste your money read more

I have just about had it with this Pudgies location. We have seen and heard the manager (owner?) yelling and degrading a female worker...poor thing was a high school student and it was probably her first job. He did the same to another young guy. We have had orders that have been incorrect, missing slices, wrong wings. Considering how the employees are treated I have a hard time thinking they are learning to take pride in their work and themselves. We LOVE Pudgies....but definitely not the owner of this one. We shall not be patrons of this location and it's too bad. We loved that the high school students had a job opportunity so close to this end of town. read more

Ordered by phone. Told 20 mins. Arrived. 3 staff behind counter. I was completely ignored for a few minutes. No one else in line. Then a person took my money. I then waited a further 20 mins till someone asked me what I was waiting on. They scurried back back and brought out a lukewarm pizza. Obviously I had been forgotten. Don't bother with this place. read more

I read the past reviews and I believe the complaints are all valid. They are all things a new eatery need to be told and it is up to the establishment to make the corrections if they want to stay in business. I hope my experience showed this location has made improvements and is really making good improvements. Husband was at the Vestal Library to pick up a book and placed our order on line. You get 10% off when ordering on line. He drove over to pick up our order. No unreasonable amount of wait time. Husband said he saw a few senior personnel working there. It is nice to see a local business willing to give jobs to seniors who need to work. Our order of a large specialty pizza with buffalo wing and chicken Speidie is very tasty. Crust is light and airy, very different from tradition NYC pizza which is my standard for pizza crust, but I find this crust pleasing and didn't bother me at all. Plenty of chicken and cheese. Our standard Stromboli has everything. Nice crest and great combination. We had left overs due to over ordering in order to try different items. I warmed up the left over pieces by putting one or two pieces in a cast iron pan on low heat. When the cheese melted and crust got crispy on the bottom side, about 5 min, then flipped over to do the same on the other side. Takes about 10 min but really enjoyed it even as left over. Husband forgot the wings when he picked up our order. We realized the missing wings after he got home. I called the store and the person in the store knew right the way and told me husband left the box of wings on the counter. I thought since it was husbands fault he should drive over to pick it up, this happened on the really cold polar vortex weekend, the store said don't worry they will deliver the wings to our house no problem. It got to our house as we were still on our pizza slices. So, we enjoyed all three items. Really nice service, the fact they hired local seniors warmed our hearts. Price is a bit high. The 10% off for on line orders helped. Rent in Vestal is probably the most expensive in Broom County. I think that partially explains why their operating cost is higher which translate to higher product price. We are really happy with our experience with both food and service. I hope they keep up with improvements. We will definite order again soon. read more

food is always good. the employees need to change their greasy ass gloves before taking my card and touching everything. everything is covered in grease. not cool. read more

I was hungry I saw pizza and I eat it that's all........ sauce was really sweet (why why why), crust was copied from Pizza Hut, and cheese from Chuck E. Cheese. I am from jersey and every other corner there is a pizza place and they make much much better pizza then this place. Please try to fix your pizza, btw I did not even dare to try sub because I was really worried that what am I going to get. Why there star for employees, parking, quick service and for cold soda (lol). Please don't be one more little Caesar, cici's. read more

This was a very disappointing pizza experience. When I asked for extra cheese and garlic powder (basic pizza restaurant requests) the employee looked at me like I was from another planet. When we finally got our pizza it was very soggy and over sauced. Like the pizza we used to get for lunch at school, just plain bad. I couldn't recommend this place less. read more

Don't order anything from this place on a Sunday. They are batting 1000% on screwing up the order when I do. If I order the honey bbq chicken pizza, it comes with no sauce. If I order baked ziti, with a salad; I get the salad. Any other day I have no problems with my orders. read more

stopped for a quick bite. told the cashier we had somewhere to be. ordered 2 meatballs and spiedies on a plate with a spiedie sub. almost 25 min later we recievwd the food and had to leave. plus it cost almost 30 with drinks. i could go down 2 doors for quicker service and half the price and similar quality. this is the second time i am disappointed here. read more

Okay, I got it. Pudgies is back. Did anyone bother to tell them that while they were gone that the price of pizza didn't skyrocket around here?? What an unpleasant surprise to see what they charge for the tasty food of my youth. It's not gourmet, it's frigging Pudgies. Way way way overpriced, they won't last. There's too many other delicious,properly priced pizza places around here. My goodness, Endicott is across the bridge!! I.e. Nicks, Rossi, Romas, Nirchis. I guess they plan on raping the high school kids. read more
