I was recently in New York for an extended period of time...visiting my mom, family, friends. I…read morealways fly in and out of Syracuse bc 1) my brother lives in Cuse and can pick me up and 2) it's oddly cheaper (usually) than flying into Rochester. I have a sister in Rochester, but she always tells me to "uber it" I always feel the love when I wanna come home from her :-/ Anyway, this past trip, I flew up a little over a week ago and of course, out of Cuse. My brother wanted to treat me to a pizza and we couldn't decide where to go. I always prefer to try places people haven't been to yet. I like it to be a surprise for them as much it is for me. So we called several places. It was a Friday night, I flew out crazy early on Saturday. Naturally, pizza places on a Friday... always busy. Pizza places in a college town...even busier. Syracuse University keeps them busy as hell. Johnny Mac's. So I'm not sure how far or close it is to campus. It's a little bit of a drive from my brothers house. That turned out to be ok bc the wait was only 30 mins, maybe a little less tbh bc the pizza was SLIGHTLY cold when we picked it up. All the other places we called... hour and half for some, 2 hour wait for others. INSANE! For one pizza! Gurl, bye! So we went with this place. One of the best things for me was...my brother had never been. He took one bite and was like .... "It's so good!" Which made going here even better. And yes, the pizza was delicious. Even if slightly cold...it was still amazing and yeah..we have microwaves for a reason lol. The price was decent too. I wanna say $18 and change, if I remember correctly. Don't quote me on that. May have been slightly cheaper. Regardless, the pizza is fantastic and ya can't go wrong. If you've been, you know, if you haven't been, ya need to go. You won't be disappointed. It really is delicious. It's kinda of in a random spot, doesn't look like your typical pizza place, looks more like a little house lol, inside tho ... definitely pizza place vibes. I waited outside with my pup (saw the inside ...bc ya know, windows and stuff lol). It was in and out. Great place. Even tho I said I love to try new places, and I always do, I would absolutely have their pizza again. Wish I had something to say about the staff, but my brother was the one who dealt with them. Great place. I definitely recommend it. Thanks for reading, YelperMac'ers!!! Cheers!

Great pizza - perhaps some of the consistently best pizza I've had in Syracuse. The wings are…read moreequally good, and they let you buy them in 5s, useful if you have multiple people wanting different sauces, or if you just want a smaller order. Their delivery service is great, and seems to be in-house instead of through a third party. Only con is they're closed Mondays, but that's relatively normal, especially considering they're open Sunday. We really love this place, and hope they stick around for a long time to come.

This is as good a place as any to get some good pizza and wings. We've been to a bunch of pizzerias…read morethis year and this one just sort of blends in with the other good ones. It's a relatively new place inside a pretty distinct fenced in lot. Feels like the kind of place you'd to go buy cinder blocks. Good NY style pizza though. We really liked both the pepperoni and the buffalo chicken. They have the crispy/soggy ratio down which for some reason always makes me want to load mine up with shakers. The buffalo chicken uses big pieces of tenders in buffalo sauce. We liked that they loaded the wing sauce up with minced garlic. Great sauce and good sized wings. The Philly didn't have much going on. Not a lot of taste, just some standard ingredients on a pretty chewy bun. I would come back for pizza and wings any time. But if I've got the whole city to pick from, or even more than just an area/neighborhood, I just can't imagine saying "It HAS to be Cardano's".

I'm struggling with this review because while I acknowledge there were pieces of this experience…read morethat were somewhat out of their control, they could have taken control. I placed a pickup online order for a pizza and wings. Unfortunately there's no way to see the ETA for your order until you place and pay for your order online. They quoted me 1-1.5 hours wait time, which honestly was pretty disappointing to start, but I did give my phone number so if the wait time was shorter they could have called me. I waited, arrived after an hour (the earliest my food was estimated to be ready) and walked into a dark corner of the bar where the business was supposed to be mildly concerned they closed and didn't contact me. Apparently they close at 9p, the range of time was 8:35-9:05 which should probably be fixed in the online system. They were able to find my food, brought it out after a bit of confusion, and handed me a not very warm box. I brought it home (very short drive) to see a cold pizza with congealed cheese, and cold wings. The wings were supposed to be medium buffalo traditional wings, they were totally dry. It was like someone squirt a teaspoon of buffalo sauce after the fact. The pizza crust is odd; I get what people mean when they say it's like cornmeal. It really is, and when you receive the pizza cold, it's totally inflexible. The crust is good, I like that they bring the cheese all the way to the end. I gave it 3 stars because if I had received it at a palatable temperature and the wings actually had sauce, I bet it would be a decent meal. It's just really disappointing that after $40 plus tip that was the food I received and the experience I had. I appreciate online ordering, but I doing think this business is ready for it, or at least should consider different software to prevent this happening again.
