A quick search while traveling through Binghamton brought up Paul & Sons Pizza as one of the best options for New York style pizza in the city. They are located in a modest unassuming brick storefront that you probably would just drive by if you weren't specifically looking for it, and they primarily stick with pizza on their menu. The interior is sparse with one table and a couple stools alongside the window if you're quickly looking to eat a slice, but primarily a take out type of place. The smell of a proper pizzeria hits you as soon as you walk in, with several employees hard at work in the kitchen. They aren't open every day, but are clearly popular when they are open, as it took about an hour for the order to be ready, so best to call in advance to check on status. We wanted something simple, so stuck with the standard large cheese pizza (4/5) for take out. The pizza was delicious and prepared using high quality ingredients, with a chewy crust. The base of the pizza was pretty floppy without much firmness to it, but it was thin enough such that it didn't detract much from the experience. The pizza was a slight bit on the sweet side with Parmesan and I think either basil or parsley on top, which added a bit of a stronger flavor profile to the pizza. Personally, I'm not a fan of Parmesan on top of a pizza, so probably would ask for it without it if I were to order from them again, but some parm lovers may like it a bit more. A little less parm and crispier crust would warrant a higher rating from me, but overall the pizza was solid and prepared well, so I would recommend giving Paul & Sons Pizza a shot if you find yourself in the mood for pizza in Binghamton.

When I mean this was some of the best pizza I've had in my life! It's a small establishment with one table in the middle, and about 7 counter top tables along the window. The service was ok and fast paced. That vodka slice was one for the books! Well seasoned, great texture and just all around good. The regular slice was good and thin.

Beautiful pizza. Perfect char, dollops of Ricotta and a slightly spicy marinara.

Ordered and picked up a pie for a quick meal. Did not disappoint at all. Delicious dough and crust, tasty ingredients and expertly made. Order was taken quickly and had a longer than average wait however the wait is worth every second. Came to pick up when I was told it would be ready and walked in to my piping hot pizza coming out of the oven. Reminds me of a classic old school pizzeria back in Brooklyn.

arrabiata and ricotta
Jim R.

Best pizza in all of NY (including NYC) Seriously there's no comparison. You can't really order in. Limited hours. But so worth it. Old school vibes. Chef Paul is incredible. Try the arrabiata and ricotta and you'll see what I mean. It's a little spicy, but the ricotta delivers an amazing finish. 10/10 recommend!

Cheese Pizza

This pizza is like dropping into a friend's house and discovering that their Italian nonna is visiting and has taken over the kitchen. I'm a sucker for the thin crust with a slight char on the bottom, fresh mozzarella, big basil leaves and halved Tom Thumb tomatoes of the TOMATO. This pizza has a fabulous homemade vibe of a home you want to return to. And I LOVE the refreshing fennel salad with pumpkin seeds and chick peas and a light dressing - add the feta! Yum!

White pie w prosciutto. Best thing ever!!

Holy Shit! I'm from Queens and this pizza is LEGIT! Real NY pizza, nothing around compares! We got a pepperoni and sausage pie & a white garlic and ricotta pie with prosciutto and red onion. Amazing! Great portions, delicious pizza this place is my favorite place now! Authentic good quality pizza that's it!!!

What a wonderful experience. From the moment I found their listing I knew I found the perfect place for our pizza order. Being from out of state and surrounded by pizza places you just never know. From the moment they answered the phone to the moment we had the pizza they were kind, friendly, and welcoming. We felt like we were dining with family. They treat you like you matter to them. It is genuine. The pizza was amazing. I wished I had ordered more to take home for our drive. My heart sank when I realized they are closed today :). I would have ordered more! (We. Ordered 10!) Such fresh ingredients. Such passion for food. Every single player loved it. Thank you again so much Paul and Sons and sweet Maggie. You made our night.

Delicious. Kind. Reasonable pricing. They don't have the easily accessible restrooms, but they let me use the employee restroom.

First off the place was packed but the wait time was pretty quick considering. We did make a…read morereservation. We waited maybe 10 minutes. The place was very clean and the greeting staff were nice. The service at the table was phenomenal. Our waitress was on point and we never had to ask for anything. She didn't write our drink orders down and everything came out perfect (and fast especially for bar drinks). The food was delicious. The French onion soup is in my top 3 all time. My Delmonico was cooked to perfection. It could of used a little more seasoning but I could add it so that wasn't an issue. My wife got the homemade Gnocchi which she said was spectacular. She added on shrimp for 13 dollars which is pretty standard at a nice restaurant. My son got a pizza just to try and we all loved it. The fries were good! The chicken wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce too. Very good combo. Overall it cost us around 250 bucks (tip included), but that was for 6 of us and with bar drinks. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

We were quickly and kindly taken care of. We really liked the food with the only a couple of exceptions. Our breaded mushrooms were burned. They were so charred that we couldn't get a fork through them. Also the tomatoes on the house salad were pure mush. The rest of our dishes were exceptional. The fettuccine ignazio was decadent and had jumbo lumps of lobster in it. My husband loved the lasagna. The sauce was rich and perfectly seasoned. The New England clam chowder that was a soup of the day did not disappoint. It also had large lumps of clam in it and a nice thick base. We got a cortese special pizza to go. It is hands down one of the best pizzas you can get in Binghamton. Cortese's is definitely worth a visit. We look forward to returning.

We Just moved to the Binghamton area about a month ago. We were checking out what was around us. I…read moresaw the sign for Grande. On its sign it said they'd been there since the mid 70's. That peaked my curiosity. So we decided to give it a try. OMG. What a great decision. My wife had the linguine with white clam sauce. One of the best we've ever had. I had the chicken rigatoni with vodka sauce. Again, just outstanding. I've been in kitchens my whole life. I love the fact that they truly care about the food and people they serve. Since our first visit, we've been back 3 times. It definitely won't be the last. Definitely worth checking out. By the way their bread is to die for. I would have taken pictures of the food but it never had a chance once it was set in front of us. Thank you Grande for being awesome.

We stopped by this place while on a road trip. Being a fan of New York style pizza, and on our way…read moreback from New York City, we wanted to grab another bite off New York City style pizza as pizza tends to get thicker as you get from New York City to Chicago. While we decided to stop in the Binghamton area, we looked at various pizzas online and found this restaurant whose Pizza appeared to be the closest to the New York City style. We ordered a medium pepperoni, the guy working in the counter seemed friendly and made us a fresh one while we sat and watched. When the pizza was done, he showed us what it looked like and whether we wanted it cooked more. He did warn us that he can always cook it more, but he can't uncook it. We asked him to cook it more, and he did a good job. We then sat in the car and ate this delicious pizza. I definitely ate way more than I was planning to, because it was just that good. In hindsight, I wish we ordered a large. The medium pepperoni pizza was roughly $20. They also have and all you can eat buffet, though neither of us can eat more than two slices of pizza to make it worth it. But if this is your thing, that would be another reason to visit here.
