Original Italian Pizza

Go to spot for a quick pizza close to our house, usually solid. Only complaint is they sometimes do a subpar job at cutting the pizza lol. Char grilled wings are usually pretty good here too.

I admit I'm fussy about Pizza. I lived the first 50 years of my life in NYC, where there's practically a Pizzeria on every block. The competition there is fierce, and if you don't make great Pizza, you're out of business in a month. Since I moved to Syracuse 15 years ago, I've had to resign myself to Pizza that just doesn't stack up. Well, in all of Syracuse, the worst of the worst Pizza is that proffered by OIP. it's kind of like cardboard with bad Tomato Sauce and Cheese -- and not enough of it. I've found a few Pizzerias in Syracuse that make halfway decent Pizza, but OIP isn't one of them. I had a friend who loves Pizza who recently visited Brooklyn. He always thought that the Pizza here isn't bad. I told him to visit a few Pizza places while there -- there's plenty of Pizza joints to choose from. Well, he came back after a week and said, "You're right -- I ate Pizza in Brooklyn almost every day, and now I know what Pizza is supposed to taste like. Every Pizzaria in Brooklyn makes better Pizza than you can find in Syracuse". He says he'll never see foot in an OIP again. There are several OIP outlets in Syracuse, and I've found that some make even worse Pizza than the others. Well, as bad Pizza goes, the OIP on Townsend and James is about the worst of them. I tried it out again the last time I was there -- the Pizza was cold and stiff, and pretty bad by any standards. If you want decent Pizza in the Syracuse area, try Mario & Salvo's or Avacolli in Liverpool. But as for OIP -- I say: Avoid like the plague.

We ordered a supreme pizza and extra crispy wings. I took a picture of the wings but it doesn't show how they were undercooked. The pizza was obviously undercooked with a bunch of raw vegetables thrown on top. I sent my picture and a message and never heard back. I want my money back. This is ridiculous.

Terrible service food is mediocre. I ordered a salad and pizza the guy who took my order was rude and when food came it didn’t look good and the chicken salad I ordered had came with a dressing but it was not Italian dressing I’m not sure if something was put into the food or dressing but I felt sick and my mouth was on fire. I threw everything in the trash
