For a small town, Chittenango sure does have a lot of pizza joints. Chittenango Pizza is the newest, taking over a long-defunct Pizza Hut of all things. We recently gave this new player in town a try and went with a large pizza, a chef salad, and an order of chicken tenders and French fries. As soon as I walked in, I kicked myself for not ordering wings as I saw some go by on their way to a table that looked darn good (and possibly char-grilled?)
Inside there is a fair amount of seating but on this occasion we did take out. It took a bit longer than the stated 40 minutes, but they were steadily busy the entire time and it was a Friday night, so I wasn't too surprised.
First things first, the large pizza is LARGE. You are getting your moneys' worth ordering a pie here. The crust was not too thick or thin and had good crunch. The pizza was also right on point - not overly greasy and a good amount of cheese. Sauce wasn't anything to write home about, but it was good.
The chef salad with Italian dressing was pretty standard fare and came with chopped onion and cucumber. The tenders and fries were fine, nothing really exciting here and I'd probably not order them again.
As I mentioned, the wings looked great and the garlic knots in the display did too...they'll be on my next order.
The pizza really was the star on this visit and that's how it should be.
I'm happy we have another good spot for pizza in Chittenango, even if we didn't need one. read more
