We had a terrific experience very recently, enjoying drinks, outstanding food, and the most enjoyable company at Apizza Regionale-- thanks to the bartender, Katelyn. With many years in the restaurant business, I observe quite carefully and have high expectations. Those expectations were met effortlessly as she met new customers, took care of everyone seated at the bar, kept the wait staff's orders filled, served us those amazing apps, salads, and pizzas (thanks to the back of the house), and remained undaunted and personable the entire time. Apizza Regionale is a a true gem in this town. You won't regret "giving it a try!" read more

Got there and were told it was a 30-40 minute wait. After exactly 30 minutes our table was ready. The place is not too dimly lit -it's just perfect for a romantic dinner. Our waitress was okay. Now the dinner. We ordered the beet salad which is one of our favorites. It did not disappoint -note that it's seasonal though. For the entrees, we got the chicken parmigiana pasta and the shrimp bolognese pasta. I was debating between that and the shrimp fra diavolo but the latter was out so my choice was decided XD . Our meal, overall, was delicious! For those interested, they have a special three course menu until the 14th of March, 2026, and it is 25$ per person. read more

Apizza Regionale is hands down one of my favorite pizza spots in Syracuse. I absolutely love this place. It is an upscale little spot that feels cozy and comfortable and is perfect for a date night. It can get a little loud on the weekends, but that just comes with how popular it is. My boyfriend and I love coming here every time we visit our hometown. We usually sit at the bar and always end up making friends with the bartenders pretty quickly. The energy is just right. We ordered appetizers and pizza and as always it did not disappoint. We are big fans of the Calabrian pizza. It is so good, especially with the hot honey on top. The balance of flavors is perfect. This time we also tried the special which had shiitake mushrooms, ricotta, a fried egg, and cheese. Overall it was pretty good. He enjoyed it more than I did, but it was still worth trying. The service here is always fantastic and the ambience is really dope. You can come here for a date night or bring the family. They have music playing in the background and while it can get loud at times, I think that just adds to the vibe of the place. I have been coming here for years and I genuinely think everyone should try it. One of my patients actually recommended this spot to me years ago and told me it reminded her of pizza from Italy. Ever since then it has been a favorite of mine. read more

I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. I still really like this place. It's casual but feels upscale. It's not a big place which makes it nice. The only answer is warm and inviting. The weight staff does a great job cricket taking your order filling your drinks and they are very pleasant. The pizza is top-notch as long as you're not expecting New York style pizza. The bartender Katelyn is amazing. One of my favorite bartenders I've ever had. She has the best laugh ever. I will return very soon. And if you have not come in, it's worth your time. read more

SO DELICIOUS! We loved our meal at apizza, and cannot wait to come back! Our pizza and appetizers were top notch and left us full and happy. Servers were very good and on top of things despite how incredible packed and busy the restaurant was. The weather was gorgeous the evening we went, and it made our stop in especially lovely with a nice breeze flowing and the sun shining in this lovely spot. Can't wait to come back. As someone who has done many trips to Italy, it was great to have Syracuse's version of a Naples eatery (not the same but similar energy!) read more

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday (so few places are even open on Sundays for dinner). We got a table right away, but within 30 minutes, there was a line of people waiting to be seated. Cocktails are spot on; pizzas are always excellent. I ordered the chicken parm and fettuccini for the first time. It was very good but the parm was oversalted. In any case, we all had a great time. read more

Nicely decorated for the holidays, cozy vibe, especially with brick oven fire going. Our server was attentive and helpful. We had antipasto salad and brussel sprouts appetizer, which was a little small for $14 but good. The star of the meal was the Calabrian pizza, which was very flavorful, although it got cold quickly. 2 things could be improved - - providing a pizza spatula to serve the pizza at the table and let staff know not to clear the water and glasses from the table until guests leave. It felt like they were rushing us out; the restaurant was only half full so no need to turn a table over quickly. Overall, a good meal and cute spot. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. I finally decided to go today and thank goodness it wasn't busy. I can see how uncomfortable it could be during their rush hours. Seating is so close together. Our waitress was awesome. Super friendly and our food was delicious! I definitely recommend the zucchine fritte with their lemon caper aioli sauce. The only complaint I have was I requested my Calabrian pizza to be lightly charred but it was too charred for my liking. Other than that, the overall taste of the pizza was tasty. I can tell they use fresh ingredients. read more

We visited Apizza during dining weeks. When our party of 2 arrived, we were told it was a 45 minute wait for a table. We decided to take 2 seats at the bar instead, but it seemed like the wait was not actually that long for the other parties waiting. There are no mocktails on the menu here, but I asked the bartender and he made me something with orange based on what I said I was looking for. I didn't have any wine on this visit, but I liked that their menu featured a wide variety of wines and how most of them were available by the glass. I really enjoyed my pizza, and it was big enough to take a few slices home. For dessert, I had the Budino which was good and very rich- I thought it was a great dessert for sharing. The brittle that came with it was delicious as well. Overall, I'm looking forward to returning to try more of the menu, including the wines and seasonal specialties. read more

We didn't make reservations on the Sunday of a holiday weekend, so they said there would be an hour wait for a table for two. Luckily, we only ended up waiting about twenty minutes. The restaurant has a small parking lot, but it fills up fast. Street parking is available and it's free to park after 6pm. The fried artichoke starter was superb. The artichokes were crispy and rich and melted in your mouth, especially with the accompanying garlic aioli. The misticanza salad was light and refreshing. They were kind enough to swap the red wine vinaigrette for the caramelized orange dressing and it was quite tasty. For my main, I had the patata pizza. It was good, but the potatoes were cut so thinly that you could barely taste them. The main flavor came from the caramelized onions, which were quite sweet, and I think a savory flavor would've worked better for me. The coal fired crust was the perfect texture. It wasn't bad, but just not what I expected. My husband got the shrimp oreganata pizza and ate the whole thing, so clearly that was a hit! Our waitress brought the check before we had the chance to order dessert, but we remedied that and tried the olive oil cake. It was a bit grainier than versions I've had in the past, but still very moist and the olive oil flavor came through nicely. We left satisfied! read more

Where to start so my son comes into town for Christmas with his just married new wife they decide they wanted pizza from here they been here before with a big group of friends and liked it, So me and my wife decide to treat them and it was a hit on my son and wife's food but a big miss on our food my wife asked for her pizza to be light baked it came out burnt bigtime the zucchini frites we had was good but the meatballs I had were burnt and super small and the arachini balls were bland no seasoning anywhere to be found it was not worth the money we spent so I'm sure my son will return but me and my wife won't. read more

Apizza Reginale in Syracuse has delicious food. They don't take reservations. So,its 1st come first serve. I get that. In the past visit their kitchen closed at 9. So, you order all before then. So, here's the thing, 2 stars or less for lack of communication to manager and restaurant personnel. .... Why? Multiple emails, phone calls and messages for an attempt to order a special meal on a significant special night. Nothing - nada.. no replies, no answers during business hours, phone # on web gets recording leave a message as it trips to a different number. Nope. Try to find out if they deliver- not- Grubhub says no - . Outcome- no order, no arrangements, no meals for the remember time. SAD. read more

I would say this is currently my favorite pizza in Syracuse. The tables are tightly spaced and the atmosphere can be boisterous at times. I went Sunday at 7 and they told me a 15 minute wait for a table so I sat at the bar which was entertaining in its own right. Will be back read more

The food was really good. I had a chicken parmesan sandwich and a salad. It was one of the better chicken parms I have had in the area. I also had a slice of their Calabrian pizza. Definitely one of the best slices of pizza I have had. The service was good, friendly, and helpful. read more

Wow is the only thing to describe the place. Ambiance was amazing, the wood fire stove kept you warm and it always great to see the food cooked near you. The quality of ingredients were top notch. Friendly staff and attentive. We ordered the chicken parm (best I've ever had and were from NYC), the eggplant pizza special, the regular pie, meatballs and the sausage pasta. Everything was exceptional. The sausage pasta was a little heavier for me but the pies were both done perfectly. A little crispy and doughy and it was nice thin and light. The meatballs had a little kick to it but the kids ate them nevertheless. I loved it all and will definitely be coming back for a date night. read more

Came here for the first time during dining week. Loved the zucchini appetizer and meatball pizza! What stood out the most was the service. We were seated quickly for how busy the restaurant was. Our server, Mona, was so attentive and friendly! She was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with our meal selections. Excited to have a new favorite pizza restaurant! read more

Came with my sister and her boyfriend, so I could argue that white sauce pizzas are better than red sauce pizzas...Apizza helped me make some strong points. We started off with the zucchini fritters and wow, definitely our favorite of the night. Then came the pizza showdown. Both pizzas were excellent with crispy dough and flavor but I loved the flavor of the rucolo and that's my bias for sure. We sat outside and were seated very quickly for being a walk-in party of 3 on a Saturday night. read more

What a great place! I sat at the bar, not the pizza bar. The bar tender was great! Convo was great. Her laugh was great. Then a couple sat next to me waiting for some friends and that convo was great. I ordered the Calabrian. This is Neapolitan style pizza. The crust and pizza were great. The taste was great. I had the Budino for dessert. It was eyes roll into the back of your head good. I drank a couple of old fashioneds. The bar tender had them down pat. They were delicious. The people and staff in this place were genuine. Side note: I have to say every time I'm I visit any place in NY whether it be the NY city or any other place in the state like Syracuse, the people are great. I genuinely love the state if NY! And this is from a Texas guy. read more

Omg the most amazing Neapolitan style pizza I've had and I'm from Jersey where we live pizza! Must try! Go. Now. read more

I met some friends in downtown Syracuse at around 6pm on a Tuesday. I have not been to Apizza in many years and was looking forward to the visit. It was just starting to get busy and by the time we left people were waiting to get a table. I was happy to see this wonderful restaurant doing great business and it wasn't even a weekend. I was seated right away, even though the rest of my party wasn't there, which was nice so I could look over the menu and order a drink. The server was over quickly and I asked her about "mocktails" since none were listed. She assured me they could make some of the cocktails without alcohol or whatever I liked. I ordered a Blackberry drink which was excellent and when my friends arrived they had the same drink. The brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious, with onions, cheese and a mustard sauce. I didn't care for the Delicata squash appetizer, however, it was too sweet with the honey but I really just wanted more squash. The batter was thick like a fritter or donut but the squash was so thin it was impossible to taste anything but batter. The salads looked amazing and were thoroughly enjoyed. The pizzas were perfectly cooked....I ordered the plain cheese and others ordered the potato. I passed on the potato pizza thinking the potatoes would be thick cut and heavy, but when I tried a piece they were thinly cut and delicious. I will definitely get that next time. While some people see darkness and think a pizza is overcooked, the char on these was perfect..... adding another depth of flavor to the homemade dough. They get their ingredients from all over New York state, which is very nice to see. Food, service and ambiance all top notch. read more

Amazing staff. Everyone was in there busy doing something but still smiled and greeted me when I walked in. I placed a to go order for lunch but ended up eating there. The pizza is absolutely amazing. The salad was the perfect side and was delish also with those pickled onions in it. Wow. I can't wait to get back here! I eat vegan so I ordered my Garlic & Broccolini with vegan cheese and ohhh myyy, I'm still thinking about it. Superb! It's cozy inside but I sat outside on the patio and it was great. The bar is great as well! Amazing drinks. read more

I've been in to Apizza several times over the almost two years I've lived in SYR. My father is notoriously picky, and he's determined it's his favorite place downtown; it's now a must when he visits from Michigan. I came in for lunch today for the restaurant week deal. $15 for a 9" pizza, a side salad, and a smaller portion of an appetizer. Today it took a long time for pizzas to come out. A couple of people near me had to ask for theirs to be boxed up because it was taking too long. I think the issue was a larger carryout order and it being the lunch rush. The servers apologized to all of us for the wait. Since I had to get back to work, no drinks today. I've had some of the sangria and other specialty drinks and they are really good. read more

Our favorite restaurant! We are "sit at the bar" patrons, and Apizza Regionale has a great bar for viewing the pizza oven and restaurant activity. The bar staff puts out some great cocktails. Big shout out to Katelyn, our favorite bartender, who mixes up the best manhattan in Syracuse, in our opinion! She is friendly, knowledgeable and she can guide you through their drink menu to find your favorite libation! She will also recommend a good appetizer to pair with it. The pizza is the star of the menu however, and we've tried them all, you can't go wrong with any of the choices. If you haven't been yet, just go! read more

We enjoyed an incredibly delicious and delightfully light pizza that was anything but heavy! We tried the patata (surprisingly light with a hint of sweetness), the shrimp (cheesy), and the Calabrian (right amount of hot honey). Each bite was a burst of flavor. We also shared the hazelnut budino, which was a creamy pudding that was not too sweet and served with almond brittle. Yum! Good service and cozy ambiance. read more

Stopped in here for dinner last night. It was really busy and quite loud. Seating is a bit cramped. We started off with espresso martinis. Not as high quality espresso as some other places in town, but still good. I got the Calabrian pizza for my meal and added sausage. I was a bit surprised by their menu considering it's a brick oven pizza restaurant. I was expecting to see more variable pizza choices. You can always modify their existing ones or creat your own, but I felt it was limited. The pizza itself was great. Crust was perfect and toppings were fresh. I do feel like service was lacking. Our waitress was nice, but seemed to kind of forget about us and barely checked in. I understand it was busy, but I felt like we were often waiting for her to notice us. read more

The restaurant is has a very modern vibe with a beautiful wood-fired pizza oven. The Utica Nod is a creative pizza with high quality ingredients.

While we did not get to sit outside, the inside was lively but not too crowded for a rainy Friday evening. I started with a glass of red & ended with white. We started with sharing the dinner antipasto & shared two sausage dishes: the salsiccio pizza and the summer style cannerone pasta dish. Very tasty! A little pricey but everything has some local flare to it, whether its cheese, meat or down to honey! We did not get dessert sadly but definitely want to come back to taste an original marg pizza! read more

Excellent pizza. Great service. Nice spot for lunch and dinner. Take a break from the BbQ spot and head over here.

Gets a little inconsistent when it's busy. Good food tho. Prices are as reasonable as anywhere these days.

Our absolute favorite restaurant downtown! Every single time we go the food is outstanding, service is friendly, and the ambiance is great!!

What a wonderful find in Downtown Syracuse! The restaurant is cute and very inviting. The inside was bustling, very nice, and smelled of divine food. The patio is absolutely gorgeous. The menu looked so wonderful, we had a hard time choosing. We decided to share a bunch of things so that we could order both of the desserts. We started off enjoying warm olives and cheese which were just exquisite. We then moved on to a panzanella salad which had lovely tomatoes, peaches, corn, bread, and ricotta. One of the nicest panzanella salads we've ever had. Being that one of us is a vegetarian, we opted to share the basic "Apizza". (There were some wonderful sounding meat options for me to try next time!) The crust was almost impossibly thin and wonderful with a lovely sauce and cheese. To be honest, it was one of the best pizzas we've had outside of NYC and New Haven, CT -- absolutely outstanding. Desserts were also incredible with both the Olive Oil Cake with whipped mascarpone and blueberries along with budino (chocolate and hazelnut pudding). We really struggled to find anything at the restaurant that was less than spectacular. They were busy, so the service was slightly slow, but we were grateful that they got us in and we understood. The service was super friendly and helpful. A wonderful place! We'll definitely be back as often as we can. read more

My nephew and his fiancee recommended this place when we came to visit him in Syracuse. And I'm glad that they did. It's basically your hipster pizza joint. I didn't realize this was one of the top-rated places in Syracuse, but it was an okay experience. The pizza was great, but the service could've been a lot better. I had some tattooed dark-haired guy as my server, and I kept asking him for soda and it was like he ignored me. But oh well, I didn't tip him. Hopefully he learns his lesson. Yes, I'm aware it was busy. But anyway, I had the most-popular pizza: the Calabrian, as did most members of my family. I pretty much gobbled it down! read more

The Scarlet Vetter says.......I was in Syracuse for business recently and saw this quaint pizza place swarming with people, so I decided to treat myself to dinner there. The place was packed with a 45-minute wait period to be seated, but there was space at the bar. Being alone, that is where I headed. The bartender was very attentive and friendly with an incredible infectious laugh. The menu was right up my alley with organic ingredients and wood fired pizza. I ordered a fabulous bottle of wine, the crispy zucchini as an appetizer, a wood fired sausage based pizza for my entree, and a dreamy chocolate mousse like desert with peanut brittle adornments. Yum. All of it. The zucchini came in quarters and was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and it came with a fabulous spicy sauce. The pizza was really, really delicious and had the aroma of wood smoke with a great sauce. The dessert was very rich and incredibly chocolate-ly. I took half of it home, as it was a sizable portion--it would be good for sharing. I am not much of a dessert person, but I'm really glad that I tried it. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves pizza with zero hesitation. read more
