We've been making our way around Syracuse, looking to find our preferred place for pizza. Finally made our way to Pies Guys. Fun atmosphere in there on a random Sunday in August. Seems like lots of people stop in for a slice and a beer after being out around the area.
We've been baselining our Pizza Trials™ with cheese. At Pies Guys, we ordered the 18-inch New York style pizza, which came sliced in wedges, as is tradition. The pizza was quite good! Not overly cheesy, not too oily (just the right amount for the authentic NY slice). The crust was great and had good flavor on its own.
We ordered and split a salad with Caesar dressing. Some of the lettuce in the salad was a little brown, but it was a Sunday, so I doubt there were deliveries over the weekend. We'll have to try the salad again during the week (this was not a make or break item).
With a pair of leftover slices, the pizza did pretty well in the microwave at the office for lunch the next day.
The only confusing part about Pies Guys was whether to order at the window at the back of the restaurant or if there was service at the tables, which were self-seating on the day we came in.

Read moreThe phone clerk was extremely rude! I placed an order for 2 pepperoni pizzas for $40 I was told the wait for delivery was 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 mins. We were very hungry so I called around and got a deal at Twins Trees, 2 pizzas and 24 wings for $53 in 45 mins to an hour. I called back to cancel within 10 mins and was told that I will never be delivered to again for canceling? I didn’t even tell her why I was canceling she immediately told me that and her response when I asked “why for canceling my order?” She said yes “we’re eating $40 the pizzas are already in the oven so yea we can’t deliver to you anymore.” This is the first time I’ve order from Pies Guys and I’ll never order again. I’ve worked in restaurants most of my work life and it’s take around 15 mins give or take depending on how full or hot the oven is to cook. I live 1.2 miles away and it would take 5 mins to deliver to my house. So if it’s busy there’s no way my pizzas were already in the oven, and if it’s not busy why would she tell me over an hour? Or was I going to be delivered a cold pizza? Completely...
Read moreDuring my visit to PiesGuys, I had the pleasure of trying two standout menu items: the medium buffalo chicken wings and the Meat Lover's Pizza. Both dishes were a hit, leaving a lasting impression.
The buffalo chicken wings were exceptional. Cooked to a perfect balance of lightly crisp on the outside while staying juicy on the inside, they had just the right amount of sauce. The buffalo flavor was bold and tangy, with a medium heat that packed a punch without overwhelming the palate. They were perfectly sauced, not too messy but still generously coated.
The Meat Lover's Pizza was equally impressive. Loaded with a variety of savory toppings—pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, and more—it was a true meat lover's dream. The toppings were plentiful, and the pizza had an ideal balance of flavors, with the rich, melty cheese tying everything together perfectly. Each bite was hearty and satisfying, with a crisp yet chewy crust.
Overall, PiesGuys delivered a fantastic meal. Whether you're in the mood for wings or a loaded pizza, you'll leave satisfied. Highly...
