Always great food. Flying squirrel pizza is the best ever. Thank you for the great service and food.
Had a HORNET in my daughters slice beneath the cheese. When she asked me what was in her pizza I assumed it was just basil,... until I looked and could see it had a body! Pulled the cheese back to see it better and the whole yellow jacket was there, wingsand all! I called and was told by the man who answered the phone ?sometimes stuff like that does happen??.. stuff like thatshould NEVER happen! To their credit, they sent the delivery driver back with a full refund because we were from out of town.That?s the only reason they earned a second star. Read more
Simply put - everything is great! My favorite meal in town is the Flying Squirrel sub. First - all subs are made with Ithaca... bakery bread and they're frankly the best sub rolls I've ever had. The Squirrel specifically is a a Philly cheese sub and aBuffalo chicken sub on one roll. (I also recommend adding bacon). They have several wing sauce options to pick from, but Ilove their traditional 'hot'. They also make some really great pizzas and they have a ton of options for them. Wings arefantastic and lots of options. Employees are always friendly and helpful. To boot, they have free delivery to the Ithacaarea! Oh yeah - the I in ICO, they have fantastic Italian options and easily the best sauce in town. Highly recommend theraviolis' and an order of the giant meatball. Read more

Review: Italian Carry Out, Ithaca NY First things first; I ordered my standard ?review? pizza, a pizza with extra cheese, and... the pizza showed up with much of the cheese pooled to one side. That is a major negative, as it showed a lack of attention tothe product showing up to your door in reasonable condition. So, putting the cheese-slide aside, this pizza was overall tasty.Ithaca NY has a pizza problem, in that much of the pizza is horrible. There are a handful of worthy places, and a good slice inIthaca will certainly stand out; especially if you have had the bad. This pizza did not disappoint in the way of flavor, and isworthy of your taste buds. The sauce was saucy, not thick, not thin; good flavor that complemented the cheese and dough.Speaking of the dough, it was fairly good, weakish, an ok texture, not over the top, but not scraping the bottom. I would buythis pizza again. The Next Day: I love my pizza the next day (or later on that night), cold out of the fridge, and this sliceholds up with the next day maturation of flavors. We all know that many foods taste better the next day after the flavors have achance to mingle; Pizza especially! The Pizza Guys 0-10 scale of Pizza excellence: Dough: I give the dough a (4). The texturewas kind of weak, and the flavor could have been more involved. The dough needs to support the slice. It is the foundation ofthe pie, and must be able to support the sauce and cheese. We all know that a weak slice will cause a cheese slide, and get youa nice cleaning bill.. Sauce: I give the sauce a (8). because it was fruity and flavorful. It was not sugary, or acidic. Youcan tell that the sauce is made with love! I was raised in an Italian family, we had tomatoes growing everywhere, even thedriveway at our house on Long Island. The whole block was Italian and we would all get together to make sauce, which we calledgravy! This sauce reminds me of those days. The sauce brought everything together, and it was perfect o Read more
Loved the lasagna and the pizza was good too. The pizza portion, 2 slices and a drink for $5, was huge. The Greek salad with... feta and olives was fresh and tasty. I'd be glad to order any time we are back in Ithaca. Read more
Is there a sixth star? The "squirrel" pizza with their homemade blue cheese dressing has become my favorite pizza around. Great... food and staff! Read more
