Tazza Pizza — Restaurant in City of Syracuse

Getting some things out of the way first: I don't like Philly Cheesesteak, at least I didn't. I've had Tazzo's Pizza by slices a few in the last week. They are my favorite slices of pizza I have had, at $3 for a slice larger than my head, and right around the corner from where I live, I can't go wrong.

Everytime I have gone they have suggested their Philly Cheesesteak. I have seen people order the Philly Cheesesteak, but, this is usually something "not for me" I've been made an offer I can not refuse. I've been given a Philly Cheesesteak and now I am filled regret. Those times previous when told, "You should try our philly cheesesteak," I should have said, "Please give me one....or ten" I didn't like Philly Cheesesteak, but I like Tazzo's Philly Cheesesteak.

I should have known better. Mo, Rami, Meru, Sammy and others that I haven't learned their names yet know their food. They love food, and they love their community, because you walk through the doors of a place where they will serve you food, you aren't a customer, you are a member of their community. Every single one of their staff shows that. It's a reflection of them, it's reflected in their food. It's a reflected in this damn philly cheesesteak.

Mo, the cheesesteak did its good work. I will be having more, and I will try one with green peppers, (and I hate green peppers)

I have been to Tazza Pizza a few times and am consistently impressed. The pizza slices are huge without having a floppy crust. It is true New York style with a thin crispy bottom and slightly tangy sauce. The toppings are plentiful and fresh. I like to get a side of marina to drizzle over my slices. And listen! That spicy marina is SOOOOOO delicious. I actually asked if they could find a jar so that I could buy some to take home 😆😆😆. My coworker had the Philly Cheesesteak with fries. Both were excellent. I was surprised and pleased with the fries, they were piping hot and crispy with a delectable texture. And you cannot beat the prices and add that to the portion sizes. Just WOW! Also, the owners are gracious and kind. Definitely a 10/10 establishment. I highly encourage a visit. You won’t leave unsatisfied...

The crust is crisp, the base is easy to fold, the pizza sauce has a slight sweetness that compliments its tomato flavor, it’s melty & cheesey, the crust-to-sauce ratio is even, and the toppings of the various choices work well together. I’ve tried the cheese, chicken-bacon ranch, philly steak and buffalo chicken pizzas, so far. My goal is to taste the other seven specials they offer as well as the usual pizzas like pepperoni, sausage, veggie etc, the pizzas are that good. So far I was happily surprised at how tasty the philly steak pizza was, so much so that I also had their philly cheesesteak sandwich a week later. The next pizza I plan on tasting is the gyro pizza, with a choice of chicken, lamb or a chicken lamb combo. So check Tazza out, the food is delicious and the...
