The Sugar Bowl is a Millersville University institution which I was finally able to try. It's a small shop, heavily geared toward the campus community, with basic pizzas and subs. I ordered a mixed cold cut sub, which was fresh, tasty, and a good value. Service was quick and friendly. The lone quirk of my visit--which I attribute to being Tuesday after the Super Bowl--was that they were out of 6 of their 8 fountain drink selections. read more

Sugar Bowl - Pizza Near Me - Millersville, Pennsylvania

See all

We wanted to stop for a quick meal before we went to a Millersville basketball game. We didn't know the area and were surprised that we couldn't find a main street in the area where the college kids get meals. After making a loop of campus we stumbled on the Sugar Bowl. It was easy to park so we headed inside. We ordered a pizza and a stromboli and the meal came quick. Everything was delicious. They did a lot of business in the 30 min that we were there so it must be a local hit. Def would come back next time I go to Millersville read more

As a Millersville U grad from the 90's, I still think this is the best cheesesteak stromboli around. Some of it may be the nostalgia, but their dough is like no other place I've had a boli and I've had many. The little bit is sauce and onions on the cheesesteak boli with the thin crust is heaven. Also, they seemed to have upgraded their turkey deli meat quality thru the years! So much better on their grinder! The SB will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. Thankfully my daughter attends MU now and I can relive the good ol' days more often. read more

Casual dining. Decent food. Prices aren't cheap but I guess that's most places... The calzones could use more ricotta and filling but they aren't bad. They have good gyros and thick milkshakes. It's on campus at Millersville so it's mostly college students. read more

Gone here more times than I can count. Food is always amazing and I'll keep coming back when I'm craving a boli.

Prices are nice - spot on for a restaurant on a college campus. Service is thoughtful & patient. I am gluten-free and dairy-free, so I needed to ask some questions about the menu before I could decide what to order. They didn't seem bothered by my questions; and they worked to find the answers I needed. Very reassuring, if you have allergies or food sensitivities. I ordered the gluten-free wrap. It was a GF tortilla with sandwich things inside (meat, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo... I asked for no-cheese). It was DELICIOUS!!! They also have GF pizza! My friend ordered chicken strips and a milkshake, which she loved. The milkshake looked divine! They also have crab cake sandwiches, salad, spaghetti. Quite a nice selection. read more

Best stromboli! I made my own and couldn't have been happier. The crust was light and crispy. Everything inside was delicious. I'll go back.

Stromboli is very good. Get it half baked and take it home to bake fresh. Nice staff. Not sure what else I would get there. Tried a steak once but ehh. Go for the boil!!! read more

Sugar Bowl - Front - Pizza Near Me - Millersville, Pennsylvania

The food is always fresh and hot. The service is friendly, the college campus ambiance is nice. Good memories here. I recommend waffle fries with cheese, the chicken strips, and the milkshakes. read more

terribl! I think this place likes to take advant of students. I order wings $12.99 they guy on the phone said it will be $15 plus tax when I got there they told me I need it to pay tax and charge me $16.44 never going there again . Plus the wings were not even great. I don't like dishonesty and they probably do the same to other students, because the students just pay and don't do the math. read more

This is the kind of campus dinner/hole-in-the-wall that has the best comfort food ever. Skip all the name brand places and find places like sugar bowl that have awesome food. read more

Classic Millersville U spot. Always get a good burger and shake here. Good Covid regulations and quick service. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area for a cheap quick meal. read more

The pizza is edible but not great, or even good. Their pies are small, the sauce is forgettable, and the crust is hard and bland tasting. I haven't had a sugar bowl pie in a while but I had remembered them fondly. I'm not sure if I changed, or the restaurant changed, but these were not the delicious pies I remember. I understand they're in a convenient place for those associated with the university campus that they border, but there's much better pizza if you leave the premises. read more

If you like stromboli, you'll love Sugar Bowl bolis! I've had plenty of them over the past 30 years and am never disappointed. Pizza is ok, not top notch, but the stromboli is where it's at! read more

I'm a little heartbroken after our last visit. My husband and I have been eating strombolis and cheesesteaks at the Sugar Bowl for decades -since our college years. Any time we are back in Lancaster County, a stromboli at the Sugar Bowl is a must. It's been a couple years since our last visit, and since then the strombolis have changed. Last Saturday, we came in with another couple we know from college days. We got large strombolis and split them with our spouses. We all agreed that the filling was still as delicious as ever, but the dough was different. My one friend said she thought it was just undercooked. Her husband replied that he did think it was odd that our strombolis we were ready in 10 minutes. That was very strange to us. Sure enough, the outside of our strombolis were hot, but the inside was not. They were warm and the dough inside was chewy. I can count on one hand the times I've sent something back, but I wasn't going to get a stomach ache from underbaked dough. Everyone else ate theirs anyway, but I took mine up to the counter. the owner offered to make another one. I said a small one would be good. That was also hot on the outside but only warm on the inside. It was like the entire stromboli had been premade and just baked long enough in the oven to crisp the bread and warm the filling. I'm sure we'll be back, but I'm sticking to cheesesteaks and steering clear of the strombolis. read more

Oh, Sugar Bowl, where do I begin...? I'm honestly suprised that (as of March 2011) there is only one other review. For the most popular pizza place near campus I would expect a little more.... oh well! In one short sentence: Sugar Bowl is a delicious, greasy, unhealthy and satisfying campus pizza place. They're 'famous' for their stombolis- I've had them a few times and they're pretty good (though greasy). My favorite order is a chicken cheesesteak hoagie ('California Style') and they do a stellar job. The waffle fries are awesome. They make some killer milkshakes in a LOT of flavors (I suggest Moosetracks!) and they have free delivery. Inside, there is plenty of seating and while it's a little shady, it feels very home-y. The employees are really nice and happy to take care of you. One thing I like about Sugar Bowl is their fundraising 'program'- student organizations can deliver food on a Friday or Saturday and take all the tips as their earnings. (If you're an organization interested in this, just give them a call- there's no official literature about this program; it just seems to spread by word of mouth. Also, if you do this I suggest having 2 cars for the busiest time and make sure someone has a GPS.) Oh, the pizza? Some of my friends love it- especially the crust. It's a little too greasy for me, but at least it's cheap. Oh, and the pizza sizes are a little smaller than most places. One big advantage? The hours. This place is open till 2am Fri/Sat, and they do the business to make it worth it. If you're looking for a cheap late-night dinner, Sugar Bowl will do the trick. ps: This place accepts 'Marauder Gold' over the phone, if you're in to that sorta thing. read more

There are 3 other pizza places within walking distance, but this one is definitely the best. I'm a big fan of cheesesteaks, and have tried them from every pizza place in town. Not only is the one from Sugar Bowl the cheapest, but it's the best. Lunch deals are really good. The seating area is large, so it's great for groups. Favorite place in town for lunch. read more

It's been YEARS since I was at the Sugar Bowl but when I saw they were promoting a new menu, I thought, why not give it another try. I was watching a lacrosse clinic at the nearby MU Football field and could smell the deliciousness of grinders, pizza & cheesesteaks calling my name! I opted for a slice of cheese pizza - to eat there - while my Greek salad and gyro were to-go. The pizza was greasy, like I remembered, but after dabbing it dry, it was quite tasty. I was surprised when I opened the salad to find that the dressing was already mixed in. It was a light blend of oil, vinegar and oregano. It was good, but if I left it much longer, the lettuce could have been a soggy mess. The gyro was yummy and I enjoyed the fact that the pita was toasted. It gave a nice texture, and complemented a smooth tzatziki sauce. The prices were very fair too - I'll most definitely be back! read more

It's not a fancy place, in fact the decor hasn't changed much in decades. But the food is decent and it's nostalgic for me. It was a hangout spot after school 20+ years ago, and now my own kid comes here after school. One cool thing I heard recently: if you're fundraising, you can volunteer as a delivery driver and the tips will go to your cause. read more

We have lived in the area for the past two years and have never been to the Sugar Bowl. Went with a friend for their Stromboli's and they were awesome. The cheese steak was spot on. The small was huge. Since then I've been back for subs, salad and pizza. All were delicious ! Prices were good and friendly service. Definitely will return. read more

I live in Millersville and about 35 years ago I worked in a pizza shop similar to the Sugar Bowl. I loved it! Rarely have I found a stromboli made as well as we made it "back than". The Sugar Bowl has NAILED it and the best part of it is that every time I go back for another one, it tastes the same as before! EVERY TIME ~ The staff is always nice, quick, and personable. This is a palace in the small town of Millersville and they should be proud of themselves ~ read more

Ordered Pepperoni pizza. While waiting a group of 4 people came after me and ordered. Then, a guy came in with a sub and complained that they put mayo on his sub so they had to remake it. I saw a Pepperoni pizza come my way and said out loud "It's supposed to be to go." She ignored me and called out a different number after mine! She went back to the kitchen and must have inquired about the mistake! 5 - 10 minutes later my pizza came later! Pizza was of average quality. The country is in sad shape if these people are the future! read more

Went there for the first time this week and absolutely loved it. The Stromboli is really good. Also the staff is amazing and friendly. I use a wheelchair and as soon as they saw me, someone from behind the counter rushed to help me get in the door and also helped me out when I was finished. Definitely recommend this place. Plus it's nice that it's right on campus. read more

Classic dive with great pizza. Don't be put off with the simple interior. The folks are friendly and the pizza is fab. Prices are what you'd expect. read more

Being a Millersville University student this is a go to place for some good food. The pizza shop sets off the main strip in Millersville and may be a bit hard to find for non regulars. It's a pizza shop so it has all the regular items of a normal shop. The pizza is too old and the strombolis are the best items they have. TRY IT read more

I have gone here every week as a tradition with a group of friends. Food is of acceptable quality and the wait isn't very long. You won't pay too much for food, and the strombolis are top notch. There are also a couple of picnic tables outside when you want to enjoy the weather while you eat. read more

Great food!!! Best cheese steak around!!!! Reasonable prices that college students can afford.

The cheesesteaks are good, but took awhile to get service at counter. Needs to hire more staff, only guy working not very friendly and seemed frustrated. read more

Definitely my favorite place for take out in Millersville. You cannot leave there without a milkshake. So good and my favorite is the buffalo chicken Stromboli. Their delivery is super fast as well. read more

When the kid go home for the Summer or one of their vacations it is time for me to head to Sugar Bowl for the best Stromboli in town. I'm sure they have other good food but give me the Stromboli. read more

I recently wrote reviews about 2 other pizza shops in Millersville within a mile of the Sugar Bowl. Thank god I found this place considering their food is great (cheesesteaks mainly that I know of), and they actually care about their customers. The pizza I had was just ok. But I plan on coming back often for the steak hoagies. They had messed up an order and took awhile to make it right HOWEVER...the important thing was the manager CARED, and MADE IT RIGHT! I will continue to frequent this establishment as long as I receive service like this! Thanks guys. Short Version : Pregnant wife ordered a BLT and we had it delivered plus 2 other large subs...no lettuce or tomato came on the thing! SH*! almost went crazy haha. But like I said, they brought us a new one, and 20 dollars back for our whole order (minus the tip obviously). read more

First time at sugar bowl, trash is the only word to describe. Best part of my meal was the vanilla coca-cola. I won't be coming back. I advise you don't even go. Food served on foam plates. Idk how you can mess up a garden salad but if it's possible. There pizza crust breaks there plastic forks. Beware of crust it might send you to the dentist. read more

HE says: I had been to the sugar bowl before it was renovated, and I was pleased to see how open and airy it had become. She says: I went with one thought in mind: TURKEY SUB. He says: The Sugar Bowl is a legendary hangover spot in Millersville. It's been around for like 30 years, or whatever. I just wanted lunch. She says: I was shocked to see my sub piping hot! It reminded me of the time I visited Georgia, and they didn't tell me that every sandwich was served hot, and I was sort of nervous. He says: your sandwich was not piping hot; they toasted the bread, that's all. I got the Italian, and an order of their Chili Cheese Fries. She says: I loved my sandwich, and calmed down quite a bit. A little student boy gently played a miniature guitar outside next to us, which was sweet. He says: It was a ukelele! My sub was really good, and the chili for the fries was just terrific. The service was friendly and fast, and I'm really glad we stopped in. She says: All around good time! read more
