Still great after all these years. Their pizza has the best toppings and crust in town. Try the 'Varsity ' pizza which has red sauce and mozzarella with a delicious combination of 2 meat (pepperoni sausage) and 3 vegetable (onion, bell pepper, mushroom) toppings. Also, while you 're waiting for Elli to cook your pizza, place an order for 5 or 10 wings with Gus and he 'll call out your name when they 're ready to pick up. There are many additional comfort foods on the menu, and all of the ones I 've tried are good. While you 're eating, check out the college flags hung on the walls. Depending on the time of the year, if a flag is upside down it means that the Syracuse basketball or football team beat that school during the current season. Sadly, if the flag is upright it means we lost. POST- PANDEMIC UPDATE: Elli is still making the best pizza in town. I know it 's a selfish thought, but I hope she never retires.

I was traveling with my Mom to Lake Placid stopped at Syracuse University to meet up with her best friend old collage roommate. Her roommate said this was the best most well known restaurant in town she wasn’t kidding! This place has TONS of seating incredible food options! We ordered a pizza for the table of mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, garlic, feta. It was hands down the best pizza I’ve ever eaten! The staff were also incredibly welcoming very friendly! If your ever in the neighborhood of Syracuse University you NEED to eat here! This would absolutely be a homecoming favorite! Cheers!

I haven't been here for 30 plus years since I went to College at Syracuse and it looks the same! Great food just like I remembered. I had the Varsity Cheese Steak with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese. Delicious! They serve beer! Still announcing your name when your wings are ready! The best wings around!

Pizza was really good, but it came out kind of cold. Still recommend!

We were visiting from Virginia Beach to see a concert at the Dome. We found this place while walking down the street. My husband had two slices of pizza and I got a wrap. Everything was so delicious and fresh! We were completely satisfied!
