O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria

Such an interesting pizza. The sauce is amazing and crust is to die for!!

Pizza was excellent. Sauce had great taste but it was a little soupy, which made it quite messy. Only downfall I would note is that we came in at 8:30, this site says closed at 9:30 but apparently it’s 9:00. They did not seem too happy with the late arrival. One staff member was extremely loud and yelling the entire time in the restaurant. Not sure at who but I think other staff, maybe a customer, who knows. So for me I will grade the pizza, and give the staff-atmosphere a 4.0

I appreciate the history, and it was a must visit since I was in the area. I wanted to like it so bad… but it was just fine. A soupy mess. I feel my score is very generous considering the history. This must be the most overrated place in the history of pizza.

Disgusting. Took like 30 minutes. do not be fooled by dave’s review it is nasty. looks like someone had diarrhea on my pizza.

Delicious 🤤

Outstanding Pizza. This is my first time trying this style and it did not disappoint. I was thoroughly impressed with the crust and crisp on this pizza. Sauce was excellent.

Half sausage half Pepperoni. Nice and crisp. Sauce was fresh. They serve slices at lunch time for 2.75. Nice and big.

I dunno. I tried so hard to love this but I couldn’t. Sorry. I respect the history (2nd oldest pizza place in the United States) and their dedication to their original way of making it but this pizza wasn’t my style at all. An upside down pizza starting with the dough, toppings (pepperoni, in this case), cheese and then the sauce and topped with Parmesan. Dough was way too hard (could have chipped a tooth biting into this), the sauce was too salty for my liking and reminded me more of a pasta sauce and this got cold rather quickly. Oh! I talked to a local who said they switched from fresh dough to pre-baked shells and quality just hasn’t been the same since. Not sure when this happened, but I can absolutely see this being a lot better with a fresher dough. I still don’t think I’d be crazy about this sauce, though. They’ve been in business for over 100 years so they’re obviously doing something right and I don’t want to trash a pizza just because it wasn’t my preference. I hope everyone likes this but I didn’t.

Classic Utica ny upside down pizza, good sauce but would prefer it to be a little tighter but good crisp

Super crunchy crust sauce didn’t have much flavor good cheese and pepperoni sausage was a patty the size of the pizza

Brownie points for being the second oldest pizza place in America. Other than that nothing special.

If you’re in Utica you have to go to this place. Try the sausage pizza, you won’t regret it. Bonus review: chicken riggies 7.9

Very popular place. Thin, "bakery" type square cuts. Not your true pizza. Not sure why its so popular. Wasnt very good. Tangy sauce, powdered Parmigiano sprinkled all over a very saucy tray. Similar to Chef Boy R Dee box.

The pans the cook the pizza on are seasoned over 100 years. I know you like just cheese on your pie Dave, Next time you at a SU men’s basketball game hit me up and we ‘ll go have a large pie with sausage and pepperoni, never greasy just gotta ask for a little extra sauce .

Classic establishment. Not my style

Review #44 2nd oldest pizzeria in the U.S. Nostalgia and more nostalgia. East Utica - old Italian neighborhood. Utica style TREMENDOUS SAUCE Dough kind of tastes like French bread.. DRILL IT JACK

First upside down pizza !

A lot of hype but not very good.

Stopped off while traveling home on a long trip because only 8+ Dave pizza on the route. Never had an upside down style pizza before, not my preference. But have to say sauce is 9/10. Love the history of the place, plus close to highway. Score is based on pizza only.
