I don't even want to know what's in the "chicken sausage" because it had the consistency of tuna.

Instead of diced cubes of meat that you'd typically see in NYC-style platters, his chicken and lamb is cut into strips. The result is that the strips come out crispy and juicy. The lamb is packed with flavor and the chicken is pretty solid too though I'll say that the lamb is the real MVP here. The platter portions are generous for $10 and includes really good basmati rice with some salad greens.

Bring your friends, enjoy some amazing rolls, and support a local business that's doing it right :)

"Flavorful...and what a crust!"…read more We recently enjoyed the Arrabiata (bottom), Margherita (top L) and Fresca (top R). Each is a generous size for one. All were great in their own way. The Fresca was our favorite, with fresh pesto vibing great with the arugula. The Marg was sweeter and vibrant. The Arrab may not be to everyone's taste: it's spicy and bitter (Italian parsley and capers), but again, fresh ingredients make it delicious. Others have commented on the crust. This is a more Sicilian, focaccia-like crust than it is a NY crust, which would be flat and crispy. You can tell Adelina's really pays attention to this foundational element because 1) it's airy, crispy and soft, while maintaining a slightly chewy texture; and 2) they have a manifesto about it on the menu. We'd gladly jump into more Adelina's next time we're at the Argo!

I usually get the margherita with vegan cheese (NOT Daiya cheese, which is amazing) and it's flavorful and a great size! Arguably one of the best vegan pizzas in Ithaca. Being located right next to Bar Argo's allows you to get a drink too. Although it's been super hot in Ithaca, the outdoor seating is nice because it's semi-shaded and is open from later afternoon-evenings. There always seems to be plenty of tables available and it's just an overall pretty patio. The staff at Adelina's is super sweet and fast paced. It never takes super long for a pizza. Overall love this place and perfect for a summer evening!

There were just 2 other diners, and staff were mostly standing around talking to each other. My partner asked for our toddler's slice to be warmed up "10-20 seconds, it's for a baby" when we received the slice *a few minutes later* it was so hot I burned the roof of my mouth when testing it for her. FIVE MINUTES LATER we received our personal slices which had been left in the oven so long the crust was burnt to a crisp. When I said "excuse me, this is burnt" to the counter person, they looked at me with a blank stare and then proceeded to walk away. As a former server, maitre d, and FOH manager, I know this is not how you appropriately handle a situation in which a guest is upset before even touching their food. There was no offer to replace the (literally black crusted) pizza, no "sorry" no ... anything. Instead, a blank stare as they went back behind the counter to continue their conversation with the pizza cook. The pizza is still great, but if this is what Franco's thinks qualifies as half-way decent customer service - they have some issues that need correcting. I don't know if we'll be back; maybe we will just continue taking to go instead of trying to enjoy a meal on-site.

Nice lofted space with high ceilings and the pizza opens prominently displayed smack dab in the middle. Great selection of Neapolitan and Sicilian slices. Italian sodas and desserts.

Definitely agree with it being on of the best pizza spots in Ithaca I have tried to date.
