“ I got tomato pie. It wasn't at all like the places in Utica but I liked it a lot. I'm going to go back and try deep dish sometime ”

“ I have eaten Chicago style pizza at famous Chicago pizzerias. I hated it. But having the Chicago style pizza at Tangy Tomato is a whole different experience. Their pizza is amazing. It is very cheesy for sure. But the crust is delicious and strong and keeps the pizza form, even the slices. The pizza does not turn into a messy blob. That allows me to eat this like a pizza. The flavors are great. It is clear that the owner studied the issue of how to make the best Chicago style pizza and she has done so in my opinion. Thank you. ”

“ The deep dish is amazing you must try it. I ordered online and came in a bit early, they were so friendly with me while I was waiting for the pizza to finish up. Will be back ”

“ We have ordered on slice app (free)and phone both always on time or early. Delicious accurate orders! Definitely worth trying this place several choices pizza thick or thin... salads etc..give it a try! ”

“ Excellent customer service and such a great pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked, just the right amount of cheese and the sauce was very good ,not too sweet and nicely seasoned. They have just a few tables, it's mostly a take out pizzeria, but as soon as my pizza came out of the oven they brought it to me and I barely let it cool so I could have some hot and fresh. ”

“ Upon seeing a post from @eastwood_syracuse on Instagram sharing the Washington Post's pick for "Best Chicago Style Pizza in NYS," we knew we had to try it. We took a peek at the menu and quickly saw there Deals and Coupons section then selected the 10" Deep Dish 3 topping pizza, 10 wings, & 2 liter. On the deep dish, we ordered extra cheese, sausage, broccoli. The team even gave us a call when having to make a substitute for broccoli, but no worries, we switched to mushrooms. The man on the phone was very nice. About 15-20 minutes later I headed over to Burnet Ave. parked in the lot right along side of the building, and walked in. As I entered I was greeted by a cool spray painted tomato on the wall, as well as the kind smiling staff. The woman at the counter handed me the pizza and wings and I reached into the cooler to grab an orange soda. When I got home, we opened the pizza, gave it a quick cut, and dug in. The pizza dough was excellent. Very soft, the right chew and texture, the cheese was gooey and hot, perfect for that cheese pull and the sauce was sweet and tangy. Definitely an excellent deep dish, the best we've had so far in Syracuse. I would go back for the wings alone though! The perfect fry and crunch. We had gotten the Salt & Pepper wings...oh my gosh, amazing. I'd 100% go back and get a bucket of wings. ”

“ Following services one frigid weekday evening in East Syracuse I headed back home and found myself in need of a quick bite. I was a huge fan of Gianni's (former tenant) and was curious if the Tangy Tomato was comparable so I decided to give it a try. I noticed right away how clean, bright and cheery the interior was from the former days and the lay out appears more open. There were limited slice choices so I grabbed one slice of cheese and Vitamin water to go. The warmed up slice was near perfect, sauce flavorful, cheesy without the heavy grease and crust was crispy and chewy where it needed to be. Absolutely delightful! The only very minor drawback is that the person helping me seemed annoyed that I didn't have cash and had pay by card...I never have cash when I really need it :-/. She over emphasized the discount if you pay in cash and so it felt strange, like it was an inconvenience. Also, I initially was only going to buy the slice but she was quick to tell me that there was a $5.00 minimum purchase to use your card so I added the drink. I'll definitely be back... with cash! :D ”

“ My deep dish exposure is pretty limited, so I am by no means a pizza snob. This style is especially hard to come by in Syracuse. I called up and placed my order by phone on a weeknight, around maybe 4:30 PM. Staff was very friendly. When I ordered the spinach pie, the woman on the phone exclaimed "that's my favorite too!" which made me even more excited to try it. My order was ready on time, and the checkout process was painless. The inside was small, but not claustrophobic. There are a few tables, though dine-in wasn't an option during COVID. The pizza was delicious. The spinach pie includes garlic, basil, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes, and mixed cheese. It was white pie style, but deep dish. The toppings were cooked well, and the cheese was gooey. I also got cheesy garlic bread, which was equally delightful. Will definitely be back! ”

“ Tangy Tomato is new in town, but I'm happy to see they're doing well despite almost no web presence. At the time I'm writing this, their website is still just a banner displaying their November 2020 opening date. They don't have online ordering - it was a mild inconvenience clicking around to get an idea of what they offered. Thankfully, their staff is notoriously friendly both over the phone and in person. I'm not even kidding, you'll walk out of there feeling like you should add them to your Christmas Card list. We typically pay a little more than we would at other pizza places, but only because it's a massive upgrade in quality. The taste, style, and quality of ingredients are a lot better than most other pizzerias around here. We've only tried the deep dish, and have gotten the Buffalo Chicken and the Meat Lovers. For both, we were specifically happy with the quality of the meat and the overall taste. Even the larger pizzas are cut into fours, but I had no problem two-handing it. The crust is pretty thick and chewy. Their philly steak sub used standard philly meat as far as we could tell, but comes together well with "the works", and the bread they use. The bread is hearty and had an egg wash feel to it. The Thai Chili wings were great. Good size, cooked well, the sauce is a good blend of sweet and pleasantly spicy. We got legs for all ten; I'm not sure if that's how they always are. We're glad we read the reviews first and knew to order in advance. Our orders have taken about 45 minutes. Glad to have this place on my pizza line up. There are hundreds of valid places you can get pizza in Syracuse, but so few of them do deep dish. Disclaimer: I've never been to Chicago, and my only prior experience with deep dish is Uno's (the one at the mall). On the plus side, I can speak freely about my experience without the heavy-handed frame of reference that comes with regional food preference. ”

“ While in Syracuse, NY style pizza reigns supreme, a new pizzeria on Burnet Ave is aiming to bring a little taste of Chicago to CNY. Tangy Tomato opened in November of 2020. The owners, Melanie Austin and Meaghan Corning, worked together for eight years at Gianni's, the pizzeria that formerly occupied the spot. While Tangy Tomato serves both New York- and Chicago-style pies, the deep dish has been the bigger seller by a long-shot, Austin said. They sold hundreds of deeps in the first few days alone. Austin and Corning traveled to Chicago to seek tips and knowledge about that city's famed pies, visiting several deep dish legends for inspiration. The wife and I were in the mood for pizza tonight, and Tangy Tomato has been getting rave reviews in several food groups we follow, so we decided to give them a try. I ordered 2 hours early, as some reviews said early ordering was the way to go, as the place has been getting a little backed up with all the attention they've been getting. I showed up at 5:15, exactly when I asked for it to be ready. If it weren't for the very large sign on the building, you may not see it from the street - its a tiny spot on the side of the back of a building that has a large smoke shop at street level. Plenty of parking on the street as well as a couple parking lot spots. Very small place - no seats, 100% take out. But its a nice little place, wood floors and clean and bright inside. My wife and I ordered a large Meat Lovers deep dish with 10 hot wings. Gotta try wings any and everywhere they're served. It was ready when I got there. Ladies behind the counter were very nice and I was in and out in 5 minutes. I got home and we opened everything up. Its good to note that I live a half hour away and when we opened everything, it was still hot, the wings were even still steaming, which is awesome for us cause sometimes take out doesn't keep well for the long drive. The pizza was sliced into 4 large slices. I'm a NY pizza lover, but I gotta say...we both thought it was delicious. Plenty of toppings, the crust was cooked completely and tasted great (and I'm not crust guy), and the tomato sauce was just what they say it is - nice and tangy. Wings were good as well. I personally coulda taken a bit more heat for them being "hot", but they still had a good kick and were flavorful and cooked well. It cost $35 for a large deep dish and 10 wings, which is pretty standard in most places around here, so it's definitely comparable to other pizza places. We'd definitely go again and would recommend everyone give it a try. ”
