Northeast Pizza

The pizza is pretty good, we had an issue that deserves a 3. We ordered a pizza for delivery and it arrived in a timely manner. We decided to order another one, after we realized we didn’t have enough. The order was placed at 630 for another delivery. We saw nothing by 745 so we called. Person on the phone said there was a pizza sitting there with just a number and no address. After a some discussion, the person said they would put a fresh one in the oven for us for delivery. No pizza by 915pm so we called again. Automated message said they we closed! They stop taking calls after 9pm!

We have ordered from Northeast twice.
The first time, we ordered a large veggie. It was very good. It arrived a little past the promised time (despite being quite close to our house), but we were pleasantly surprised with how yummy it was. It wasn’t the best pizza I have had, but it was good. Good sauce and sauce distribution, good amount of gooey cheese, good distribution of veggies (though they were cut rather small), and a yummy thin crust. We thought we had found our go-​to Ithaca pizza delivery option.
The second time we ordered, it was my husband’s birthday. He had spent the day skiing, and we were both looking forward to that gooey, decadent, yummy pizza when he got home. I ordered while he was driving home from Greek Peak, and the pizza arrived just before he got home (so, really good delivery speed on this occasion). I had ordered a large popeye pizza (half with red sauce). OMG! How utterly disappointing. Half the pizza was covered in huge dough bubbles (we are talking the size of baseballs), upon which all toppings had been obliterated. Seriously, there was maybe two inches of edible pizza on each slice! And even that was super dried out! It should have been very obvious to whoever made this pizza that it was not servable. If it didn’t take forever, I would load up the pictures I took with my phone, which would make all my comments here completely unnecessary. By the time we got it, we were too hungry to call and ask for a replacement. Based on the reviews here noting the same problems, I assumed it was pointless to call and complain.
You need to be able to count on consistency when you order delivery. I will never order from them again due to the last experience. Bummer.

I’ve always loved northeast’s pizza. The latest time I went I ordered a half barbecue chicken, half chicken wing and it was so greasy. We used several napkins to clean off the grease, and still their was a thick layer of grease on the pan. I had the worst cramps afterwards, like I was having a heart attack.

Appalling Quality Offered Without Conscience!!!
I called in an order and went to the store to pick it up. It was presented to me with a straight face, unapologetically and without blinking — but was such quality that should have been thrown into the garbage. My pizza was so clearly burnt and mangled that I cannot believe that anyone in business would present such a thing to a customer. I paid for it threw it in the garbage where it belonged.
A merchant with such a low-​level integrity should not be trusted.
I will never spend another penny with them.

I ordered delivery from here. Ordering the pizza was really easy on their site, but it took two entire hours for the pizza to get to my door. It was cold by the time it got to me so I had to microwave it. I probably shouldn’t have tipped online, since obviously giving them something generous didn’t help me out at all.
I ordered a 16″ sausage pizza and an order of fries. The pizza was big enough to last several meals. To be fair to them, the pizza did taste pretty good. Their meat distribution across the slices could have been better since it seemed like most of the meat was put onto one side and only a few pieces were put on the other.
The fries were a big disappointment though. They were cold and soggy since it took forever for them to deliver. I had to add a lot of salt since they were so flavorless.
Sounds like this place provides a better experience at their actual location. Avoid delivery, or order from somewhere else.

Really good pizza and wings at a great price. The staff is friendly and the live music was good. The food came out very fast and I recommend ordering extra crispy wings. Recently bought pizza and wings from the nines and Northeast blew their food out of the water. I would urge anyone to eat at Northeast

Good pizza if you like dough. Just dough. Like you’re making bread and you just want to try, just this once, to see what the dough tastes like, even though you totally know it’s going to be weird and yeasty and unpleasant. The urge overtakes you and you try it and then you try it again with ketchup and some dehydrated astronaut cheese. It’s like that. The giant cylinders behind the bar were nice, though!

The pizza from here was pretty good. This is a cut above your typical New York Style pizza. The crust was good, soft and crunchy, the sauce wasn’t overbearing and there was just the right amount, and the cheese was pretty good. The only reason I dock this a star is that the half that had sausage was covered in grease. The plain cheese side was great and the sausage was great, but we had to dab the grease off with a paper towel. Granted in the future we’d stay away from the sausage but we’d definitely go back. The prices are pretty decent too plus if you live in an Ithaca Apartment Management apartment you get 10% any size so that’s even better.
The wings were pretty good too, nothing to brag about but apparently they have an all you can eat wing night that I’d definitely stop by for sometime. Wouldn’t go out of my way to have their wings though.
Overall this place was pretty good, definitely one of the better places in Ithaca which is good.

Came here one time and had the wings. They were good! I wouldn’t say they were the best in Ithaca but far from the worst. Sorry for the boring review but it was a pretty basic experience. If I still lived here I would give it a go again for sure.

IMHO the best pizza in Northeast Ithaca. Their wings are delicious, finally good wings in Ithaca. I have been trying to find good wings for a year, The search is over

I’ve gotten pizza from Northeast probably about a dozen times and it’s truly been hit-​or-​miss it seems (mostly hits). Sometimes the pizza is crispy and melty and full of goodness, but other times it’s seemingly missing any pizza sauce whatsoever and has a layer of unmelted cheese on top, covered with grease.
I enjoy the lunch special (which you can still do for dinner), two slices and a soda for just over $ 5 (I think). Their calzones are decent, too, and the wings were delicious (buffalo and boneless).
I’ll keep ordering from them since it’s usually been tasty with a couple of bleh pizzas mixed in. The staff has always been pleasant and friendly, even when busy. You can order online, too, which is convenient.

We went to the Northeast Pizza tonight for dinner at 5:45. When we go there there was one bartender, and two waitresses and only two other tables filled up. We received our menus, and ordered about ten minutes later (wings, pizza, calzone). The waitresses didn’t seem that busy they kept standing around and watching the television. The table that ordered before us received their wings about ten minutes after they ordered. Now we waited (with two children under the age of four)… and waited, and waited. The place filled up and still we waited. We waited for about 45 minutes until our wings came (just reminding you that when we got there the place was super quiet seemingly). They were delicious, crispy but still juicy. Perfect wings!
About ten minutes after we got our wings our pizza and calzone came. The calzone was just okay, it needed some garlic or some kind of spice. We got the three cheese pizza with pepperoni. It was pretty greasy, but to be expected with three cheeses and pepperoni. The crust was very good, and I usually don’t like crust. Overall I’d say that the pizza was better than most pizza places I’ve eaten at in the Ithaca area. Service however sucked! We were only attended to when our food came and when we sat down with our menus. We only got water filled when we sat down, and not after. Granted it was very busy and they seem to be understaffed, but still. We didn’t end up leaving until 7:02.
The other thing, the owner is charging a $ 2 «eat in» fee added to your total bill so beware! I asked the waitress about it, but she said that it was just something the owner started doing. If you are bringing kids, just be prepared for a possible long wait. I would suggest to order out.
My score is as follows;
Service: 1 Star
Food: 4.5 Stars
Average of the two: about a two and three quarters, so i’ll round it to a three

Great pizza and wings. They often play live music here to, which is sort of strange given the small space. When you walk inside the place is also struggling for an identity: it’s half pizza parlor half bar and you’re never really sure in which one to sit.

There’s not a better local place in Ithaca. I frequent this place on a weekly basis.
Pizza, cooked to order in a very timely manner. I understand if the place is packed full that I’m going to wait.
I can order my wings, boy am I picky! I can order any itteration and they are served to perfection, many times without me repeating my order everytime I’m there.
Atmosphere– diversified with comedy, open mic night, and scheduled bands.

This place seems to be on a downward spiral such that I want to revise my previously favorable review. The prices have gone up multiple times over the last few years, and the last three pizzas I’ve gotten have been disappointingly bare. If you don’t mind venturing to Collegetown, The Nines builds a vastly better and more consistent pizza.

Pretty good for upstate pizza… we’re more used to a slightly crispier crust but they were fast and even delivered to us by the pool at our hotel!
However for 5 pies and 3 salads they gave us no forks, plates, or napkins… so don’t forget to ask for them!

Finally, a New York Pizza that would never double as a welcome mat, this isn’t that thin stuff you get in the city, none of that foldable stuff you can eat as you walk down 43 street in Manhattan. Leave it to Northeast pizza to break the mold that NYers have had to suffer for over the years. This is nice, thick pizza with an almost «soft pretzel» style crust.
Walk in, there are pizzas ready for the oven, just tell the guys behind the counter what you want on it and go have a seat at The scale house brewery in the same building and someone will bring it over to you. This pizza is loaded with cheese so no need to ask for extra, unless thats your thing, I enjoyed mine with black olives, mushrooms (hey, gotta get those veggies in the diet) and onions. The sauce is sweet/​garlicy, the crust is chewy in the center, crispy on the bottom. I ordered two slices, and they were huge, and the cheese was bubbling as it came straight from the oven.
Try it with a speciality beer from Scale House’s beer selection.

We’ve been to Northeast several times and have had consistantly good pizza and service. I’m from the midwest, so I get sick of New York style pizza, and when I want some really good pizza with a thicker, chewier crust, I know I can’t go wrong with Northeast Pizza.

I really like their Americana style pizza. I have gone on several occasions, and every time I have been the pizza has had a lot of cheese on it. They border on a little too much cheese in my opinion, and hence why I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5. While their pizza was overly cheesy, it also had enough sauce to balance out that extra cheese. The sauce was zesty and tart, but still sweet enough to balance out the zesty tartness (if that even makes sense). Two weeks ago when I sat down for dinner with a group of friends for my birthday I asked if they could do a pineapple jalapeño pizza. The waitress said they didn’t have jalapeños but recommended we try banana peppers instead. Oh my god, that topping combination was heaven. A few months before that I ordered a pizza with red peppers that were not very good, so I would say that this was a huge improvement.
Perhaps my favorite item on the menu is their unusual chicken wings. The chicken wings are really crispy but not battered. In addition, the buffalo sauce is unique. It has a hint of some sort of holiday spice in it (maybe nutmeg or cinnamon) that really makes them unusual. Everyone at the table loved the wings, and wished we ordered more of them. They also have BBQ sauce wings and those were also quite tasty. One person at my birthday dinner ordered boneless wings but I didn’t get a chance to try them, because the group scarfed them down too quickly.
Northeast Pizza shares a space with Scale House Brew Pub, and hence you can order beer directly from the brewpub on tap. I don’t usually drink beer so my taste in beer is not very refined, but I enjoyed all the home brewed flavors I have tried here. They brew several different kinds but only 3 — 4 of them are actually available at any given time.
Everyday of the week they have a special of the day that rotates, and then repeats each week. Some days its a discounted extra large pizza. Other days its an order of wings with a medium one topping pizza combo deal. Either way the specials are the cheapest way to go.
lastly, the atmosphere is quite fun. On the brewpub side the scale house has a few TVs that shows various sporting events and also have live music on select nights of the week. Often this music is quite folky. On the other side of the pizza parlor side they have a bowling game machine. The pizza parlor slash brewpub combo makes the place feel kind of like a PG version of a townie bar. I generally prefer to sit on the brewpub side because the appointments are nicer and it got us further from the door so cold air was not blowing on us. You can order things from both places at the tables from either side of the establishment.
