Stop here for homemade dry, fresh and frozen pasta, cannolis and other desserts, stuffed olives, sandwhiches and salads. There is a huge selection for a relatively smaller place. Staff are all very nice and fast when placing a food order. What really pushes me to giving a 5 star though are thier subs. They are so delicious! The Campania is my favorite so far, which is prosciutto, fresh mozza- rella, basil pesto, tomato & garlic oil on your choice of bread. I of course went with an italian loaf but they also had wheat. You can also buy hot and cold sides like fried calamari and arancini.

The authentic Italian desserts are worth the trip. They also have a well known deli in back and tons of frozen meals made right there that you can take home and warm for dinner. Their homemade vodka pasta sauce is so amazing. They also have a small section for fresh product and lots of olives. Highly recommend a trip to north Syracuse for this market. This is a nice area and many other places nearby for pizza, baked goods, shopping. The cashiers always greet me when I come in.

Sammy's NYC Deli and Grill opens early & stays open late. (6 AM during the week/8 AM on the weekend. 10 PM or later every night.) Looking for a quick bite with variety and generous servings? Sammy's NYC Deli delivers on the essentials. The name pays homage to the Big Apple, (where the owner has two other deli establishments) but doesn't have typical New York City prices, crowds, or rushed NYC edge! Instead, you're greeted by genuinely friendly staff eager to help with the ordering. Sammy's seems to operate primarily as a high-volume takeout spot, perfectly suited for grabbing a quick, freshly made lunch on the go. The team working the grill & fryer moves fast, making it a reliable pick when you need quick service without sacrificing quality. Here is what really stands out: The serving sizes are generous across the board. You definitely get your money's worth, making the overall value hard to beat. My Italian sub was so large, it was lunch for two days in a row. It came with 6 chicken wings in the flavor of my choice. The garlic parm were very tasty, but just a bit bready. Another item ordered was a double Smashburger and it was excellent! Came with lots of melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, crispy french fries and a soda for around $20. The menu spans a wide array of options, so whether you're in the mood for a packed deli sandwich, a warm hot dish, a salad, or even breakfast , everything tastes fresh and is made-to-order. If there is one area that could use a little streamlining, it's the number of combo specials, which can be a little confusing. Trimming down or simplifying those descriptions would make ordering even smoother. All in all, Sammy's NYC Deli is a great Main St., North Syracuse spot for takeout (or DoorDash, GrubHub or Uber eats ) top-tier friendliness, huge fresh portions, and great value that leaves both your wallet and your appetite satisfied.

When my partner and I walked in, we were greeted by a man at the counter and mentioned it was our first time visiting. His response was about as uninterested as it gets. Instead of offering a menu or any guidance, he simply pointed off to the side and told us to order when we were ready. Not exactly a welcoming first impression. The space itself was small, with a few tables, drink coolers, baked goods, and smoothie options. After placing our order, we waited...and waited. After exactly 40 minutes, I finally asked about the status, especially after watching another couple come in after us, order, and leave with their food before we received ours. I understand that takeout and delivery orders are part of the business, but in-house customers should not be completely overlooked. There was no communication, no sense of urgency, and no effort to acknowledge the delay. It genuinely felt like we didn't matter as customers. And for what? Two sandwiches--a roast beef and a turkey. Having worked in restaurants myself, I can confidently say that should not take 40 minutes under normal circumstances. I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough to warrant one. We will not be returning. Save yourself the time and look elsewhere.

Philly Cheesesteaks are one of our favorite things. We pretty much have to try one wherever we go…read more Most places around here have them on their menu, and sometimes it feels like a black hole when most places use the same stock frozen meat and whatever they feel like for the rest. We seek out places like this who hold them to a higher standard. (Usually the places that have "Cheesesteak" or "Philadelphia" in their names.) The litmus test is whether or not they offer whiz as an option. These were miles above the stuff you'd get from a non-Philly branded place in Syracuse, but on the lower end of the good tier. We would definitely ask for extra dressing/whiz on our next order, because they were disappointingly dry. It seemed like an oxymoron to order Whiz Wit and have it come out dry. With that said though, all the ingredients were amazing. The bread is light, pretty much a full on sub roll. The meat was tender and tasted legit. Nothing weird, stringy or clearly frozen. The Smokey Horseradish Dijon kind of got lost in the shuffle. Same meat as the philly, but the mild kick from the mustard didn't really match what a focus on cheese would have done. The chicken cordon bleu was solid. The minced chicken was actually pretty moist. We added cherry peppers, which took it to another level and I would now never go without. Minced chicken is hit or miss for me, but I rolled the dice for chicken cordon bleu and hit the jackpot. These guys aren't my favorite "authentic" Philly in Syracuse, but they hold down the north side just fine. I'd be happy to eat here any time, and the prices are pretty good as well.

We thought this place was a huge deal when we first tried it. We happened to be on the north side…read moreof town on pizza day, so we stopped here and picked up a pepperoni and 20 wings on a 39.99 special. The wings were good, plenty of sauce and good, crispy skin, soft meat texture. What blew us away was the pizza. It was just a pepperoni pizza, but somehow it had it all. Soft, plenty of sauce, the perfect amount of greasy and stretchy on the cheese, and then the whole thing had a subtle crunch to it. Never had that in a pizza before. I hate talking favorites for things as big as pizza, but this just might be my favorite Pepperoni Pizza in Syracuse. We've been back twice since then, pretty much on a whim when we happened to be passing by. First time was on a Friday, so we got some fried fish and a steak sub. We went with both the regular fried and beer battered. We ordered the philly/steak sub because it was featured on their website. We kind of know what we're going to get when we order a philly from a pizzeria, but figured it was worth trying if they're going to make it the first high def photo on their website. Despite the hype, it turned out to be the same meat, bread and cheese you get from any other pizzeria, or any other place that doesn't really go for it. The fish was actually disappointing - one of the worse fish fries we've tried in Syracuse. The regular fried haddock had a hard bread crumb coating that pulled apart from the meat. You could snap it apart to break a piece off the filet. The beer battered shrimp was better, but the breading was soft and kind of peeled right off. Fried fish and philly steaks are never a bad meal, but this is about as low as it gets without crossing into malicious. We saw multiple people raving about the eggplant parmigiana, and I wanted to try their riggies. I figured Utica, Riggies, can't go wrong. Once again, we were in town, and it was on a Thursday, where they have a few dollars off. The riggies hit the requirements with the creamy sauce, the cherry peppers, the wicked tender chicken, and the peppers and onions were a good addition. My only complaint is that they weren't better coming from a place named Utica Pizza Company. They were exactly average - sauce could have been creamier, hotter, more flavorful. The eggplant parmigiana turned out to be nothing special, I'm not sure why people raved about it. Just an inch or two of thin sliced eggplant, breaded, cheesed and red sauced. With that last sentence as your recipe, you could make the same thing at home. We also threw in a medium buffalo chicken pizza, which was really good, but didn't have the same amazing texture the first pizza did. I had high expectations for this place, so if it seems like I'm complaining, it's definitely better than your average pizzeria. I'm sticking with five stars because the pepperoni pizza we got was absolutely perfect. We've been working our way through pizza places in Syracuse for years and this one stands out hard. Take or leave the other stuff, but absolutely get a large pepperoni and some wings.

The menu taps into childhood fast food nostalgia, with burgers, fries, onion rings and milkshakes -- plus beer, wine, cocktails and boozy sodas. With five burgers, two chicken sandwiches, two salads, a few shareable starters, Fly Bird chicken tenders, a Chicago-style glizzy and a fried fish sandwich served only on Fridays, the menu isn't long, but offers enough variation to appeal to most diners. The wife and I stopped in on a Saturday right at opening time. We were sat and given menus immediately. We decided to share a burger and fries and an order of tenders. We ordered the blue suede shoes - a burger topped with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, carmelized onions, pickles and house remoulade and an order of hot stuff buffalo tenders. Our food was brought relatively quickly and we enjoyed everything. Fries were fresh, crispy and seasoned, burger was cooker perfectly, the tenders were fresh, crispy, saucy and had just the slightest kick of heat to them. Our server was very friendly and helpful, prices were comparable to similar restaurants, and we has plenty of food to bring home. We'd definitely go again.

I think the Philly cheesesteak could've had more meat and I found the plain fries to be lacking salt without the Cajun seasoning but still tasty. It's very hot inside and it seems like their takeout is very active so that's what I would recommend. They have tons of different drinks inside like a gas station and also offer dessert.
