O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria

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.

Unique pie, sauce is superb 👌

I badly wanted to like this but it’s just not that good. The sauce was nice, the cheese was fine but truthfully a little strange and it peeled right off the pizza. The crust tasted like Ellio’s. The pizza tasted like if you went to the Ellio’s factory and had them make you a fresh pie. If this was my local spot and i never left my hometown I’d probably think it was the best thing on earth

Just short of greatness here. The entire idea is perfect and the quantities are perfect. Crust - crispy but not thin. It’s like a cracker or like a hard end of fresh baked baguette (not in a bad way) holds all the sauce. Sauce - quantity incredible. But this is where it fell in my opinion. I like a sweeter sauce or something with some personality and this sauce has the personality of a soho model. Cheese - thin layer of mozzarella on bottom. Nice and quiet and smooth. Topped with salty parm. Great idea. Find execution / quality but nothing spectacular. Everything could be a smidge better, crust a little softer, sauce bolder, cheese a little bit more noticeable on the mozzarella front.

Upside down style. Good crisp on the undercarriage, great flavor on the sauce. Very well rounded slice where the sauce is the boss. No bonus points for being the second oldest in the country though.

Not bad but. Tad too thick and tad too much sauce.

Good sauce n great cheese. Don’t love the dough. Kinda seems like a French bread pizza. Not my thing.

This was really weird. It tastes exactly like when you make a pizza at home, for better or worse. I started doing that in the pandemic and this pizza, the crust, the sauce, and the cheese is exactly what that tasted like.

Definitely different. It was crispy, sauce was good. Probably sat in the box too long which was my fault. If you like Utica upside-down then it’s a must have. Because it’s the second oldest pizza place in the country, it’s a must try anyway

Incredible pizza. Did not expect that. Wish I lived closer to Utica.
