Nina's Pizza — Restaurant in City of Utica

Not only is the food delicious, most important in any restaurant is the quality of ingredients, the care in preparation, and last but most certainly not least is of course staff attitudes combined with the However, personally in my opinion it's the consistency of that quality product that builds the reputation which supports that very quality. If you like a particular dish and return to the same establishment to again enjoy that same flavor that engrained to your taste buds, if there is any deviation from the consistency, the quality is thus compromised. Your enthusiasm to return again is diminished. Johnny's hits the mark with both the quality and consistency. Some take for granted that we are so fortunate to live in a very culinary rich and diverse community to the degree that Utica receives much praise for not only the very unique one of a kind edible delights that are indicative to "OUR CITY". I believe that it is not prudent nor encouraging to critique an individual's lively hood in such a negative way as to basically verbally sarcastically sabotage , this hard working fellow utican. Who obviously has a passion and desire to be about service to his community above the typical negative commenters whom seem to indulge in their passion for negativity and misplaced envy brought on by that senseless monotone moronic banter that is far too prevalent a fixture that I do for one would have hoped by now that the process of evoluton would have certainly eliminated from our lives. It Is true perhaps that many pizzerias in any area, including our community, would choose to serve a particular style or version of pizza while at the same time other's chooses to prepare a different variation. Regardless in my opinion to base a review for one business solely on what appears to be a negative hypothesis derived not from fact, or an open minded opinion, is indeed a great disservice not only to those who taken pride in the product they prepare and serve, it also can as well unfairly alienate and persuade a once fair open minded individual to make a decision solely on the negative self satisfying comments of someone that does not seem to be comfortable, happy, or content in our community or the diverse variety of choices we are very fortunate to be able to enjoy in the many wonderous creative and unique flavors of which, have their origins here and are delectable, decadent and delicious enough to encourage ambitions in some passers through to take home with them what our past and even present culinary minds created which in turn has put this Utica unlike others on the map for homegrown flavors that lead many to easily find a reason to return here again for something unique to our community that brings em back to basque in a pleasure and commonality for fine culinary creations and the great sensory pleasure derived from uniquely satisfying flavors...

We ordered Johnnys pizza for delivery to our hotel while traveling through Utica. The food was great! The delivery however was absolutely bizarre.....after we placed our order we received a call from the delivery driver asking where the hotel was located...what street because he can’t find it...I’m thinking to myself “we aren’t from here which is why we are in a hotel...” but I put him on speakerphone and proceeded to google the address (not sure why he didn’t...) We were at Home2 Suites on Genesee Rd and the pizza place is per GPS two minutes straight down the street on the same road!?! I tell him this and he says “oh ok I’ll be there in two minutes”....about five minutes later we get a call again from the driver “I can’t find it, what do you see when you look out front from your hotel?”...at this point I’m irritated, we look out our window and tell him we are right beside the Holiday Inn Express, he says he will be right here. A couple of minutes later we can actually see him pull up in the parking lot from our window and get out and come into the building. A few minutes later we still haven’t seen him so I open my door and look in the hallway...sure enough he is wandering all the way down the hallway having walked right by our room which was right off the elevator. I wave at him and get him to come back to the correct room...he then asks if I have a pen to sign the receipt which luckily I do...on the receipt it has my room number literally listed right in plain sight....I don’t know if this was a prank or what but...

I never really post any reviews but this was easily the worst experience I have ever had, especially considering the high ratings this place had.

I placed an order on UberEats and went to pick it up for my family. Upon arrival, the workers there were shockingly and extremely rude, when I first showed up and told them that I was there to pickup an UberEats order, the guy said “why are you telling me this”, “why do I care?” (He did this for a whole several minutes) And I just froze because it completely caught me off guard. Thereafter, they kept laughing at the situation and made me feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

I also waited much longer than the anticipated time for the order since the order on Ubereats said it was ready to be picked up. (this isn’t the issue I wanted to address, the waiting didn’t really bother me)

Right after I picked up the order they said “Get out of here, door dasher” (just to clarify, I am an engineer who travels frequently and I love trying local foods when I travel) and proceed to continue laughing even though it was a takeout order I made. Although I wasn’t expecting an “enjoy” or “have a good day” or anything but what they said was just extremely unwarranted, rude, and immature.

This is very disappointing and the whole situation made me extremely uncomfortable, never thought I would say this but I will never come back to this place again, and I will be telling my friends and families the same.

I can’t believe they would treat a paying...
