Varsity Pizza

I was traveling with my Mom to Lake Placid & stopped at Syracuse University to meet up with her best friend & old collage roommate. Her roommate said this was the best & most well known restaurant in town & she wasn’t kidding! This place has TONS of seating & incredible food options! We ordered a pizza for the table of mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, garlic, & feta. It was hands down the best pizza I’ve ever eaten! The staff were also incredibly welcoming & very friendly! If your ever in the neighborhood of Syracuse University you NEED to eat here! This would absolutely be a homecoming favorite! Cheers!

I haven't been here for 30 plus years since I went to College at Syracuse and it looks the same! Great food just like I remembered. I had the Varsity Cheese Steak with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese. Delicious! They serve beer! Still announcing your name when your wings are ready! The best wings around!

I ordered a large pizza, half cheese half mushroom and green pepper. It was ready in about 15 minutes, which is not bad at all! A good pizza. The best part was the sauce by far! The crust and cheese were good, and the topics were fine. The green peppers did not taste too fresh. The staff was friendly, and it was a good experience! I recommend giving it a try.

Still great after all these years. Their pizza has the best toppings and crust in town. Try the "Varsity" pizza which has red sauce and mozzarella with a delicious combination of 2 meat (pepperoni & sausage) and 3 vegetable (onion, bell pepper, & mushroom) toppings. Also, while you're waiting for Elli to cook your pizza, place an order for 5 or 10 wings with Gus and he'll call out your name when they're ready to pick up. There are many additional comfort foods on the menu, and all of the ones I've tried are good. While you're eating, check out the college flags hung on the walls. Depending on the time of the year, if a flag is upside down it means that the Syracuse basketball or football team beat that school during the current season. Sadly, if the flag is upright it means we lost. POST- PANDEMIC UPDATE: Elli is still making the best pizza in town. I know it's a selfish thought, but I hope she never retires.

Great pizza, wrap, & grill restaurant!! Staff was friendly and courteous and took great pride in preparing excellent food. I got a gluten free wrap and it was made with care and perfection:) My husband got pizza, 2 slices for $5! Then liked it so much went back for more!! He just loved the crust, delicious!!
