Siracusa’s NY Pizzeria

We just moved to the Smyrna /​Vinings area of town and being from Pennsylvania, I was super excited to see a pizza joint that reminded me of the northeast. It really does have that feel and you can tell by the conversation of the people who sit at the bar that they have a bunch of regular customers. I also love that they have a bocce court although I’ve never actually used it. And I can’t opine on the dine-​in service because we get take-​out.
The first few times we ordered pizza, my husband commented on how salty it was. My friend who also eats here said she didn’t think the pizza was salty, but she’s vegetarian and we always get pepperoni on our pies, so perhaps the meat itself is quite salty.
Overall I really like this pizza because the crust is nice and thin and the sauce is good. OHHH speaking of sauce…
Hubby told me that the other day that he stopped in to Siracusa’s to grab a slice to eat there. Everywhere we go, he always asks for *extra* red sauce on his pizza and pasta (does that make him saucy?)
So as always, he ordered an extra side of red sauce to go with his pizza and he was dismayed to discover that it was served stone cold out, straight outta the fridge. Heck, Compton is warmer than that.
Come on guys (and gals), we love ya and all, and I know you’re busy, but we’re more than happy to wait a minute or two for you to warm up a ramekin of sauce. Would you want to put refrigerator-​cold red sauce on top of your nice hot slice of yummy pizza?
Incredibly, this is not the first place this same thing has happened. Sure, if I order a side of ketchup, mustard or mayo I expect it to be cold, but red sauce for a slice shouldn’t have to specifically be requested «warmed.»
We’re in the neighborhood now and the food is good, so we’ll go back again, but regarding the warmed sauce thing, I guess we’re just getting old and cranky. ;-)

What a disappointment… Never again. 3 of us came here the other night for pizza and it was terrible. My friends pizzas were burnt as mine was not done enough. We also had beer with our pizza but how can you ruin beer.
As for the atmosphere it was rather loud as the people at the next table were having a card game. They must have been friends of the owner because nothing was said about the noise.

Have ordered delivery a few times and am pleased with the service and the food. Delivery was quick and the pizza is good, especially the meat pizza with prosciutto. This will definitely be a regular for us.

Had to get to a kids’ activity so I called ahead and said we would be there soon. I told the girl over the phone that they can put it in a to-​go box; but, we would eat there and take home the rest (trying to be considerate to them). She said, «Sorry, we don’t normally do that.» But, when I protested, she said they would let it slide this time. It was still early (4:30p) so I wondered if they did a brisk happy hour or if prime seating would be the reason for this «policy». When we got there, we were the ONLY table there (there were some bar patrons). So presumably, she said that because she wanted to «serve» us and get a tip. She brought the pizza out on a in-​house pizza tray. After taking and fulfilling drink orders, she didn’t come back. I had to go up and get refills twice and then ask for the box. On top of it, my kids didn’t like the pepperoni pizza (and they love NY pizza). I thought it tasted OK. My rating is on food only. But, I’m giving them a break on service & attitude (otherwise, it’s 2-​stars).

Enjoyed a quiet afternoon lunch. Chose the meat pizza and greek salad. YUM! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I’ll be back for sure.

Well, there’s a ton of pizza spots in the area and I must say that this place had a lot of neighborhood charm. The staff is super nice and the owner even came out an introduced himself. He was really cool and I could tell he was really about making sure the people were taken care of.
Started off with the Caesar salad and mozzarella sticks, which were sooo good and hot. Then we ordered the meat head and my goodness… nothin like some good, hot, cheesy, not too greasy pizza. Needless to say I’ll be back here soon enough. Great food, great customer service, great experience.

This place was amazing! We agreed on pizza after Six Flags and ended up at this place. A hole in the wall type of restaurant yet everyone knew everyone! I guess the owner was dining in and every customer that came in seemed to know him. The service was great and the pizza was phenomenal! Will be coming here soon enough!

Great food, great service and fun atmosphere. I just moved to the area and today was my first visit — but I’m sure to become a regular customer!

Wow. So I live right down the street and have been ordering from this place regularly for the past 2 years and today I ordered 2 Strombolis one with bacon added and according to the girl on the phone they come with pepperoni like we both wanted. They get here one is correct and beautiful the other is undercooked almost raw dough and only has cheese and red sauce inside. Now I call the store and say that my order was wrong and the girl says «I’m sorry there is nothing I can do, I put the order in right it must be a problem on the kitchen.» WTF?! How about satisfy your loyal customer?! I will never order from this place ever again. Thanks for the great customer service!

Very good!
Delicious lasagna & pizza, friendly staff, nice atmosphere (outdoor deck another plus)! I came to sample my favorite meal and I wasn’t disappointed. Also, though single slices of pizza aren’t sold after 15:00 on Sundays, when Mark, one of the co-​owners heard I was looking forward to sampling a slice, he found me one (at 16:45), complimentary. See, I did enjoy two tasty garlic knots accompanying the entrée, however, I like sopping-​up all the extra marinara sauce :)
My waitress this afternoon was vivacious, optimistic Olga!

This is the best pizza in the area. We typically get takeout because if there are more than 5 people in the restaurant, the service isn’t the greatest. The last time we were there, we were seated on the heated patio by the back door and never had anyone come to take our drink or food order for 10 minutes. We finally just got up and left. I’m a stickler for good service, but you just can’t beat the pizza.
They have an excellent crispy crust, and their fried zucchini is also really good. The only thing I’ve had that hasn’t been great is one of their sandwiches.
The owners are typically there, and the guys who accept the takeout orders on the phone are also really friendly. Just wish they would be a little more consistent with their in-​house service, even though the restaurant is really small.

Best. Pizza. Ever. At least in Atlanta. Screw those fancy Neopolitan pizza joints. I put this pizza in my mouth and i saw stars! (in a good way…) I was dumbfounded! I’m almost scared to go back… There’s no way they can create perfection again… can they…
Every component about the pizza i ordered was perfect. The pepperoni, the mushrooms, the mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella cheeses (especially the cheeses), and the crust (oh, especially the crust…)!
I doubt if i will order from another pizza joint in Atlanta again if i can help it, unless i’m going to another place socially with my friends. This is hands-​down my favorite pizza in Atlanta. It was so ridiculously good.
On top of that, i received great service. I was greeted very warmly when i walked in and the owner (i think) made sure i had everything i needed. He even personally walked me over to the patio when i asked about it, and showed me the bocce ball court.
Thank goodness for Scoutmob. If it weren’t for them, there are so many little gems like this that i would never try.
I’m sorry some others on here had less positive experiences, but my experience was perfect.

I have never eaten inside the restaurant, but have had delivery many, many times. The pizza is delicious and definitely several steps above your typical chain. The sandwiches and lasagna are also great. This place is on a very short list of delivery options that the wife approves of.

Okay, I’m gonna just bite the bullet and give this place four stars. Had their pizza lots of times and every time it was good. Not four-​star good if you’re in New York City (or Syracuse he mentioned out of restaurant-​name obligation), but four-​star good if you are stuck on the East-​West Connector and want to sneak a piece of takeout pizza in the car while taking it home to the kids.
It’s a real good value on their lunch slice-​price deal, too.
The inside is… well… just okay… for a pizza place that gets four stars… if you are stuck on the East-​West Connector and want to sneak a piece of takeout pizza in the car while taking it home to the kids.
You get my drift, right?

We had pizza here when we first moved to Georgia. From what I remember I really liked it. Tonight was a different story. Our half cheese half pepperoni was lacking in pepperoni, at $ 2.25 for each topping that was a disappointment. Also our pizza was pretty burnt. We also got garlic knots because another Unilocaler said they were good. They were dry/​stale. Another disappointment. I think tonight was our last time trying it out. My husband and I have already taken some tums ha!

Our first visit and it was a solid 3 stars. I would give 3.5, if that was an option. Maybe I was just so in the mood for a calzone and this place hit the spot.
I ordered a meatball calzone with ricotta only. I’m so glad this place makes their calzones to order. I hate when places can’t leave out the mozzarella. It was delicious, will definitely be back. Hubby got a mushroom pizza which smelled delicious and the one bite I had was good. This place also has great ice tea :). Our service on a Sunday night was great.

Love is place. Pizza is pretty darn close to tasting like home (up north), but with MUCH better service. Everyone is so nice. When you come un, it’s like one of those places where everyone knows your name and if you come often enough, they even know what beer you’re having!
My calzone was amazing and my cannoli was spectacular!
Definitely give it a try!

First & Last Visit
No one was grilling today so we decided to go out for pizza. I located this place thru my scoutmob app, we walked into the restaurant assuming we were to seat ourselves, we proceeded to the back patio area, which was nice & cool w/​2 huge fans blowing.
Our waitress came over right away and took our drink order, we also ordered Garlic knots. When she returned, I went ahead and placed our pizza order, we all agreed on a Lg meat pizza since I was the only one wanting to try The Cuse.
THE GARLIC KNOTS
Yummy bread w/​garlic & butter served with marinara sauce.
THE PIZZA
New York style pizza, very thin crust with loads of toppings, super greasy because of the bacon and ham and pepperoni, very little sauce and a reasonable amount of cheese for pizza, slices were huge, but right after the first bite I knew that it was something that I could not finish. My niece actually apologize for even suggesting pizza because she did not finish her slice either. It was very disappointing.
After complainting to the waitress about the salty pizza, she simply said, «Oh it’s just the prosicutto ham that we put on the pizza» then proceeded to ask it we needed her to box it to go-​lol.
We receive $ 10 off with a Scoutmob discount, we brought the remaining pizza home and it is now in the refrigerator, I think I will use the meat toppings and cheese in a few omelet in the AM
(omitting the salt of course). We will not be returning back to Siracusa Pizza, not even for the yummy garlic knots :)
Word of advice: It would be nice to tell people when they are ordering salty azz pizza, you obviously knew it would be that way. Do Better

Just not good pizza. They’re generous w toppings, but overcooked and just not good flavor. Wings were WAY hot, couldn’t even eat them and I like it hot.
Not a place to eat in either, just not good atmosphere, at least not for my family.

Delicious pizza and fifty cent wings on Wednesday nights. One of the best pizza places in Smyrna. Nice thin crust and they are very generous with their toppings. I will be returning to this place on a regular basis.
Try the margarita pizza. Mmmmmm.
Thank you Scout Mob for the fifty percent off to help me to find this diamond in the rough.
