Real Italian food in Oneida as great as any I have had in Utica and Syracuse. They do have tables and chairs but it is mostly takeout. And the owner and staff are very friendly and very busy. Very lucky to have this where I live.

Needs work on the inside, some paint and decor. Food is soooo good. Love their pizza and subs. Hot subs and cold subs, and fresh pizza is *chef's kiss*. People are always friendly.

Overall an above average slice of pizza. Thin but crunchy crust. Sweet but tangy sauce. Excellent cheese coverage. Great overall taste. Crust is just enough to stay erect while attempting to eat. But not too much to where your chomping on card board. I can't speak for anything other than the cheese. But based off of this I would try every slice they had. Chicken bacon ranch and chicken wing look very good as well
