Really surprised by the quality of the food here considering the restaurant's location. I'm from Ogdensburg, where good food is hard to find. Probably because there's so few restaurants to choose from in the first place, but whatever. The pizza and the entrees here are pretty good. The wine selection is sad, but being from Ogdensburg, I know you can't get too fancy. Overall, my biggest issue with this place is the slow service. It takes forever to get greeted and served. The decor is also gaudy, but for some odd reason, it fits.

I live in Ottawa and stopped in after the usual UPS pick up. Colleagues mentioned their wings were outstanding, unbreaded and cheap. True on all accounts. Service was average but again the wings were top notch! My wife enjoyed her meal as well. Sorry, it's Ogdensburg...i'm not expecting New Orleans fare.

What a strange place. Servers are dressed formal like it's some fancy restaurant yet it's filled with all kinds of cheesy fake plastic trees etc, and random hockey man room decor...with Italian style music blaring so you can't speak to your fellow dinnermates. The entire place looks like the owner literally just took everything they owned and decorated the place with it. So weird. Annoying: Can't write the tip in with a credit card...you need to leave a tip with cash. Annoying: No fountain drinks so you get a half warm plastic bottle of soda to drink Not a fan

We didn't realize before walking in that we were going to be entering an alternate universe called Italian New Jersey. That's fine. Eye-popping and slightly nauseating and I think I tripped over at least 8 pillars and fake fountains with what looked like blue jello in them, but whatever. There was also a puzzlingly large and random collection of hockey paraphernalia. Mostly the Habs, but some Sens stuff and some others. The service was a little dodgy. The owner was wandering around, hamming it up with the regulars, but it took us a while to get a waitress. And when she showed up, it was with a ten year old in tow. The Pinot Grigio, which otherwise would have been pretty good, was served warm. The wings were pretty mild, though the mild is actually medium. The rest of the meal was fine. According to my mother: "better than McDonalds but I won't rush back.". The owner conspicuously didn't consult us on the quality of our experience as he had all the other groups, but they did give us a bridge pass to get over the bridge without paying a toll. Don't go for the service (maybe for the super sophisticated bottles of hand sanitizer provided on your dinner table???), and if you do go, watch for low-hanging branches!

Great service by our server Joanne and the food was great and reasonably priced. The homemade bread was awesome, would recommend this place if your in the area.

This is definItely a go to place for date night with your loved one! The inside is romantic and whimsical and the prices on the menu are fairly cheap! Not to mention my boyfriend and I were lucky when they gave 3 alfredo cheese pizza slices on the house! To add, I highly recommend their garlic knots!

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be an "Authentic Italian" restaurant or a sports bar. The ambiance is horrid. Went to have take out tonight and I haven't had it in months. I now remember why. My garlic knots were cold, the pizza ended up being burnt, though they offered it for free I was disappointed because not only the owner but the head cook was outside talking and smoking for over 15 minutes. I was very disappointed and I don't plan on going back anytime soon. Wish we had a better experience

Visited this little jewel of a restaurant! When you walk in the restaurant it is decked out in fun Italian design. The service was great, pizza some of the best I have had in upstate New York. I guess it would have been better if the owner Joe was a New York Ranger fan but I guess being a Montreal Canadian fan is a heck of a lot better than being a Boston Bruin fan Check it out!
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
