“ The second oldest pizzeria in the country and a place you have to visit if you have not tried it yet. Their signature upside down pizza is hearty and tasty. The sauce is savory and full bodied. The dough is usually crispy. I would highly recommend the pepperoni pie and the sausage pie is delicious. Their pizza is the ultimate comfort food and perfect on a cold Winter day. ”
“ Great little spot with awesome staff, service and delicious pizza! Highly recommend this place. ”
“ The pizza is great! Love the options and the history! Loved the greens too! Service is always great! ”
“ O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria is really the king of pizza. Some places that are open for a long time coast on their reputation. They're still doing the things that make them great. Food: The pizza is so damn good. It's about the dough and the sauce, and they've got both down. At a lot of other pizza places, their dough tastes like cardboard, and their sauce is overly sweet or salty to make up for the fact that they don't know how to make a sauce. O'Scugnizzo got it right. Service: They were friendly and accommodating when I went. Ambiance: You ain't coming here for your wedding dinner. But that's part of the charm. ”
