Me and my 2 kids came here for breakfast. The places was not busy. I noticed the customer who came before me stood for a while before his food arrived. I placed my order and sat for 25 min before my pancakes, breakfast bagel, and scrambled eggs arrived. Food was good. I noticed there was phone order that came after I ordered but got cooked first.

Pretty solid place for some variety of food. They do everything from pizza to burgers and breakfast with egg sandwiches and such in the morning. It's very reasonably priced. It's not fine dining but it is definitely probably a good little college hotspot.

Ten outta ten! LOVE. Visit every time I'm in town. I get the buffalo chicken pizza and its aight but in a good way. It feels like a Syracuse classic and a must for me. Atmosphere is great very spirited, I love the people working there it's a mix of people, love to see old and young coexisting making pizza. It's top 5 cheap eats for me.

Went here for lunch before we toured the university. Place was busy and a little confusing when we walked in, but quickly figured it out. There are three stations set up for what you are looking for. I wanted a wrap (pictured) and my daughter wanted pizza (not pictured).Atmosphere was cool, lots of college stuff on the walls and plenty of seating. We went to the wrap station first because it was at the back of the restaurant. Server was friendly and helped me with the options. I went with the chipotle chicken wrap, was made quickly,and paid at the station. We then went to the pizza station and they lots of variety for slices. My daughter opted for two plain slices. When I paid for the pizza, they politely asked if I paid for the wrap, so guessing I could have brought the wrap over and made one transaction instead of two. Was not a big deal to me.I asked my daughter how the pizza was, she said really good! When at the pizza station everything smelled terrific so no doubt that it was really good. My wrap was huge and full. Normally would have only ate half and get the other half to go, but not an option in our scenario. Wrap was also packed, no skimping, and was very good as well!If she decides to go to Syracuse for school, would definitely go back for future meals!

I was traveling with my Mom to Lake Placid & stopped at Syracuse University to meet up with her best friend & old collage roommate. Her roommate said this was the best & most well known restaurant in town & she wasn't kidding! This place has TONS of seating & incredible food options! It was warm & welcoming with just a bit of vintage collage feel complete with the Letter Jacket & all! We ordered a pizza for the table of mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, garlic, & feta. It was hands down the best pizza I've ever eaten! The staff were also incredibly welcoming & very friendly! If your ever in the neighborhood of Syracuse University you NEED to eat here! This would absolutely be a homecoming favorite! Cheers!

Such a friendly atmosphere and the food is amazing. Game days are a riot. Such a good experience. An employee named Travis made my wrap like edible gold ?

This is my second time visiting Varsity, both times before Cuse' Games. This experience was so much better! Serving pizza only so the line moved very quickly. I had a slice of cheese and slice of pepperoni and both were very enjoyable. Environment is fun and great place to grab a bit to eat and chill with friends. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!
I have been going to Varsity for years literally! It's my go to for a burger melt! I go and grab a patty melt with grilled onions when I'm in the shmood because it's the only place in town that knows how to really make them!

The food was excellent. Typical college town style pizza and wing place but the quality of the food was outstanding.

HAVE AGAIN: the Varsity Special with double cheese was a staple for friends and me while in forestry grad school over 40 years ago. Just had it again and it is still delicious!
