Way too much cheese & baked on a metal screen. I ordered two slices from their 24" pie. More gimmick than good pizza. Extra soft and not very crusty. The cheese is so gloppy, it spills off the crust and all over your hands. Unfortunate, because the sauce is quite good. I ordered an upside down pie and 2 garlic "giant" knots, too. The upside down was better than the plain cheese, but had the same soft crust, albeit with a better ratio of cheese to sauce to crust. Again, the sauce was the winner. The garlic knots were awful. Tasted like greasy day old pizza dough. No garlic flavor whatsoever. Price for large upside down, 2 large slices, and 2 knots? Nearly $40. Very disappointing.

I have been coming to this establishment for far too many years to admit to and it never disappoints. Not much has changed here over the years other than the prices. They have been around for over a 110 years. The restaurant is nothing fancy and most of their business is take out but to me nothing beats one of their fresh out of the oven pies with their gooey cheese on the bottom and crispy crust. On a warm summer night you can find me sitting outside at their picnic table enjoying a fresh hot pie.

He mentioned it is the second oldest pizzeria in America, so I had to check it out. I'm so glad I did. This is a really cute, community-oriented spot with a warm and welcoming feel. I ordered a small pizza, but "small" definitely does not feel small here. It was actually a great size. More importantly, the pizza was super fresh and extremely delicious. What stood out just as much as the food was how kind everyone was. As someone visiting from out of town, I really appreciated how warm and friendly the people were. It also felt like the kind of place that would be great for hosting a casual party or gathering. Highly recommend. If you're in Utica, this is definitely a place you need to try.

Not your ordinary slice of pizza, Joe's makes their pies with the sauce on top an cheese on the bottom giving it a unconventional twist that I swear will blow you away. Joe's wings are also just as good as their pizzas. Their wings are humongous and amazingly delicious especially their everything wings. Make sure when you order to ask to make them extra crispy because they taste 10x better that way. Overall, Joe's pizza is one best pizza joint I've had. They price are very reasonable which is also a plus.

Customers first and their pizzas are absolutely delicious. Thank you Tony's for making us feel valued and appreciated.

Heard they reopened in a new location but never seemed to find time or thought about it. Decided today was the day....Have been kicking myself that we haven't tired it sooner. It was so good. Staff there were friendly, warm, and inviting. We spoke to the owner for a while about a shared experience in DC. The restaurant back in the day was so dark when it was the Black Cat and now is so open, light, and inviting. Nothing fancy but is great for a casual meal. Now for the Pizza.... What makes it so great is the thin light and crispy crust with the right amount of toppings and cheese. They offer many different and unique pizzas and am looking forward to returning and trying several other pizzas. Would highly recommend, truly a five star experience.

I ordered a slice of meat lovers and a slice of pepperoni to go. When I got in the car it smelled like a frozen Tony's pizza, and truthfully it didn't look much different either. I had a bite of meat lovers and it was nothing but a rubbery piece of bacon fat bigger than a piece of pepperoni. The pizza was greasy, the sauce was an orange paste that looked and tasted like a hot pocket. I haven't eaten those kind of foods in years but that taste is unforgettable, and not in a good way. This place should not be called a pizzeria.
