OIP-Original Italian Pizza — Restaurant in Town of Salina

I love those wings

Edit: These wings deserve a longer discussion. The textures are spectacular. If you order the the char grilled wings extra crispy, they come out extra crispy (Gino and Joe's on Old Liverpool Road and Twin Trees in North Syracuse also consistently produce extra crispy wings upon request). They also get little concentrations of crisp where they hit the grill.

The flavors are incredible. If you like both Cornell chicken and Buffalo wings, you will love their hot flavor. Spicy and salty, plus a little bit aromatic and herbal. It's one of the few sauces I'd prefer to have on my wings instead of Frank's RedHot. I'm always expecting more smokiness from the char grilling, but it has never approached the level of disruptive. It's the kind of recipe that creeps into your daydreams.

They've also improved their dough process recently. We usually go on Mondays, so maybe we're just getting weekend dough that's had bonus day to proof, but the crust has been pretty chewy recently. When the crust gets those crispy little blisters the size of a pinhead on the bottom and maintains some stretchiness in the crumb, I'm going to be a happy camper. But OIP adds lots of salty mozzarella and just the right amount of herbal tomato sauce on top of that dough. So, I love it.

A couple of years ago I swore off this place because I had to wait 90 minutes for a pickup order after being told "25 minutes." The wings are so good that I had to abandon my boycott. No regrets. Thank god for hot fryer oil, hot ovens, and fast...

I called OIP on a Saturday evening just before 8pm and luckily they were still taking orders and delivering, my go to take out had closed their kitchen. I ordered a large pizza with 20 wings for $30.99. I added double sausage and split the wing order which upped the price to $56 and change. Wow that was some expensive sausage! The wings were split order of garlic parm and habanero mango. Delivery time was 45 minutes, received delivery in about twenty minutes! Fast, friendly, delivery. With tip I spent $65. Everything was hot the pizza was good, though a portion of it had maybe slid in the box. Habanero mango wings were hot and tangy super saucy and delish. The garlic parm wings were charred badly lacking sauce, and flavor. They were incredibly hard and crunchy. Despite the ten wings that were charred to chicken heaven, the availability and quick delivery was still a win for my...

While their food- especially their wings- have always been a huge hit in my family, OIP has recently made some changes that insure I will NEVER be ordering from their again. Not only have they raised their prices tremendously, but they have also skipped out on their typcial quality. Their pizza and wings are now smaller, the pizza tastes much cheaper, and my chargrilled wings that were once a family favorite were burnt.

If I had written this review a few months ago, I would have selected excellent in each section. However, I am currently VERY disappointed in OIP and will surely never order from...
