I've been eating at Ossining Pizza for over 20 years. I have never been so disgusted by the way a business in Ossining is run. I have been living in Ossining my whole life and have been going to Ossining Pizzeria since before I can even remember. In recent times, I have started to become upset by the way I am treated when I go there to get food, especially by the owner, Jerry. Their prices have been skyrocketing and their attitudes towards customers is getting worse and worse. I did not have a reason to complain until tonight.
I ordered a large specialty pie for pick up, and went to go pick it up. As I was leaving the store, I opened the box to take a look at the pie and realized it was smaller than the large pies that I remember. I went back into the store and asked the person behind the counter, Jerry (the owner), if it was a large pie or if there was a mistake. He told me it was a large pie, so I asked if there large pies had recently gotten smaller. He then proceeded to ask me why i'm trying to cause problems and called me a fing ahole in front of the entire store.
A business owner should have more respect for his business and his customers. I recommend eating at Dom and Vinnie's or Basta. They know how to treat their customers with the respect...
Read moreI am new to the neighborhood, so I am exploring my eating options. Pizza is pretty good, thin and crispy so you can slam slice after slice. I don't have a huge appetite, I normally eat 2 slices but here I can eat 3-5. I always get plain (cheese) and pepperoni. The pizza margarita was disappointing. I heard the eggplant pizza was good, but I haven't tried it myself. Chicken parm sandwich for 7.80 was not so good, despite decent bread and cheese, the chicken serving was pretty small (about half a breast) and had an unexpected texture like a cooked scallop (that's the best I can compare it to), so I would avoid that. Mixed green salad with chicken, bacon, eggs, and real oil & vinegar dressing was tasty, but someone else purchased it for me, so not sure the price. Nice staff, good selection of sodas, etc. The menu above the pizza station looks like it's just pizzas, so ask if you want something else like a sandwich. They have tables to eat in quickly, and they also have a section that looks like a sit-down restaurant. All in all, I'll get pizza and salad here, probably nothing else. There is a gelateria attached but I haven't been yet. Maybe I will in the summer. I'd like to rate 3.5 but Google only lets me rate...
Read moreOne of the better pizzas in Ossining. Stopped in for a slice and a soda, I think I ended up paying almost 7 bucks? Bit steep, what is it with restaurants out here and charging like 3 bucks for a 20 ounce soda? There are definitely better prices for slice and a soda in the area, and tbh they kinda under-cooked my slice to the point where the pep was barely warm. I was pretty disappointed, especially since it was slow, but the counter people were really nice so they definitely have that going for them.
So if I seem disappointed, why the 4 stars? Well, I ordered a delivery pie a few days earlier. Garlic and pep. Yeah this place isn't messing around with their pizzas, it'd be 5 stars and maybe the second best pie I've had in town so far if it wasn't for the experience with the slices. Maybe give this place a pass for a quick lunch (although their ala carte pepperoni and other rolls have me thinking I might give them another shot, they looked really good) and stick to ordering the whole pie. Or, do what I should have and order your...
