On my way into Syracuse International Airport while picking up my rental car, a very friendly…read moreEnterprise manager recommended a pizzeria called O'scugnizzo. 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.

I'd had O'Scugnizzo pizza before but never dined in, so when I was craving some upside down pizza,…read morewe headed over. It's a super casual joint, with a large dining space with booths and tables. It reminded me of being a kid and going out to lunch at the local pizzeria. The staff was friendly and I could tell they enjoyed working together; the front area was full of laughing and lively conversation. We got some cheesy garlic bread, a small pepperoni pizza, and some wings. I was happy with everything, especially the pizza. It's a place I'd like to keep in my rotation for pizza night!

The service was excellent and they were super friendly! It's set up like a typical pizza shop with some booths to sit in, but it's clean and was decorated nicely for the holidays! The location in downtown Utica is super convenient and it's a great spot to stop in for a casual lunch. In my opinion, it's the best chicken wing pizza I've had around here. I'll definitely be back!

Went in for a slice on a recommendation. They had about 6 different pizza choices ready to go for…read moreslices. They have a thicker slice than I prefer but I got the mushroom and sausage which was LOADED with toppings. The crust was golden brown looking great but a slightly doughy but hard bottom which made cutting it difficult with plastic silverware as to not dirty my dress clothes. They used a mild spicy sausage which I liked as it gave a bit more flavor compared to the canned mushrooms. Slice was ok and good for a quick easy meal. The cheesecake slice was large and VERY dense with a side of strawberry topping for me to use or not use. It was very thick with large chunks of strawberries. A slice and a cheesecake cost $9. Service was quick and straight to the point. Overall ok quality It won't become a regular place for me but it's good for a quick meal when you have limited time.

I ordered 2 plain slices and 1/2 sausage roll. The girl range it up at $25.xx! I looked at her like I wasn't going to pay that....she recalculated and the price was now $16.xx. Also the pizza was gooie. Should have been baked longer. May have to start looking for another pizza joint To provide consistent good pizza and I think I found it.

Drink specials listed on a couple large chalk boards and the floor looked like it hadn't been swept up lately - good food. Next time I think I'll order "to go".

The slices are firmer and thicker, with a little too much cheese and a bit too little sauce, which i personally dislike. I usually come here with a few friends anyway, though, so we get a full pie. That's where it's at. Crispy, cheesy, saucy, even the crust is great! Great bang for your buck, too. If you're looking for a great family meal without putting a dent in your wallet, get some rosario's! The restaurant itself is pretty alright. It could use a little more... anything, to be honest. the place feels a bit empty. That said, it's rare that i even sit down and eat there anyway. The service is good. Nothing of note. They're polite, quick, and friendly. Can't ask for much more

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.

It's spacious inside and the staff is super friendly. It's clear they take great pride in their food, and they should. Is it going to be a little more expensive? Maybe. But you're paying for excellent quality pizza cooked in a wood fire oven. It took maybe 4 minutes to get my pizza to my table. There are so many unique offerings on the menu and if you're feeling like trying something different, go for the one with fig, goat cheese, rosemary and an amazing honey drizzle (Miele di Fico). They also do gluten free! Highly recommend for a great quality pizza.
