TLCs Pizzeria

i’ve stopped in here a few times for slices over the last couple months. buying slices in store is kind of a gamble because you don’t know how long they have been sitting around, and it can be pricey. a round white slice, a square vodka slice, and a coke costs $ 7, where as at NY Chefs you can get 2 specialty slices and a soda for less than $ 5. they do have some very good specials though throughout the week (tuesdays if you buy a large pizza you get a large cheese pizza for free!), and at a certain time of day you can get dollar cheese slices too. ordering a whole pizza fresh is the way to go though.
so as i stated above, i got a white slice and a vodka sauce slice on one visit. the vodka slice didn’t have any cheese on it, and the sauce tasted a little different than most vodka sauces i’ve had, but it was good, and the crust was thin and crisp, most sqare pizza places have a softer crust, but i liked this. the white slice was good too, i liked the cheese and the addition of ricotta was a nice touch, i was expecting it to be dry but it wasn’t at all. the crust was ok, not as crisp as the crust on the vodka slice. another time i got a chicken spiedie slice and a square sicilian slice. the spiedie slice was good, you could actually taste that the spiedies were char grilled, which is great, i’ve never tasted that on any other spiedie pizza around here. the square pizza had a good flavor but it wasn’t heated all the way through, but i bet it would be good if ordered fresh.
on my most recent visit i got a takeout order of a whole plain pizza and some wings. the pizza was very good all around, nice thin crisp crust and a good cheese balanced with a good sauce, i may actually prefer this to grande’s, i will definitely be coming back more often for takeout. and their wings are good too, the Tyler’s sweet and savory are not to be missed! they have a great unique flavor that i haven’t had elsewhere. i got some wings in a buffalo sauce and those were very good as well. the bleu cheese was average though, and the menu says the wings are char grilled, but i could tell that most of the cook was done in the fryer and then they were finished off on the grill. they didn’t pick up much char but they were still very good, and i will definitely be back for more.
i will definitely be coming back here more often

This pizza is basic. Nothing fancy, nothing to brag about. The pizza was hot, but that was the only redeeming quality. The sauce does not have much flavor, and the crust is simply an afterthought. I like the cheese to be melty and stringy (think Grandees pizza). However, the cheese here was very bland and did not appear to be fully melted. For the $ 11 price tag you can easily feed 4 – 5 people. However, with Grandees and Nirchis nearby, I would choose those over TLC any day.

We tried this place because it was close by our house and the weather was bad so we didn’t want to drive far. We were not impressed by this pizza at all. For the amount they charge per topping, the amount they put on was very minimal. It also lacked flavor. We won’t be coming back here.

They have a huge selection of pizza. I love their salads, especially the chicken spiedie. The owner is very involved in his business.

Probably one of Binghamton’s strongest pizza places, they also offer burgers, subs, salads, and a variety of appetizers. Their pizzas might seem expensive, but that’s because they’re big, and very filling. Tasty, too — my only gripe there is that they don’t deliver.
In addition to the good value, they also use that «SpotOn» card, where every few visits you can get a free soda or topping or something, with bigger rewards for the more you save. Since they also do «dollar slice» hour, with plain slices at a $ 1 each between 11:30 and 12:30, I can see myself racking up a lot of points.
Used to be «Original Italian Pizza» — not sure if there was a change of ownership or just a rebranding, but it’s very nice and clean now. Music choice is as good as ever.
