Patsy's Pizzeria Ithaca

Established in 1933 by Pasquale Lancieri, Patsy’s Pizzeria is a legendary New York institution, famously frequented by Frank Sinatra and credited with having invented the original New York slice. Now, the coal-oven pioneer brings its storied heritage to The Commons in Downtown Ithaca. The first upstate flagship of Patsy’s Pizzeria, helmed by Chef Pietro Aletto, balances century-old classics with artfully reimagined signatures.

In Ithaca, the busiest hours are Friday and Saturday evenings and any night with a big game, when quoted delivery times can stretch past an hour; ordering before 5 p.m. or picking up yourself avoids the wait. Delivery radiuses are small, often two to five miles, and a minimum order plus a delivery fee is normal, with a tip of a few dollars for the driver on top. Lunch specials such as two slices and a drink, or a personal pie, are the cheapest way to eat at most shops across New York on weekdays. Toppings are priced per item and half-and-half pies are usually free to request. Gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese are increasingly common but often cost a few dollars extra, and cross-contact in a shared oven is standard unless the shop says otherwise.
