Services
Pizza
Our signature thin-crust pizzas feature house-made sauce with fresh ingredients. The dough is hand-tossed daily, creating a crisp yet chewy base that customers praise as 'perfectly charred'. Specialty options include the Stinger-Style wing pizza and upside-down pie with cheese layer beneath chunky tomato sauce.
Catering
Full-service catering available for sports teams, school events, and private parties. We provide made-to-order pizzas, baked ziti, chicken riggies, and wraps in family-style portions. Professional delivery and setup ensure hot food arrives ready to serve, with options for large groups up to 50 people.
Wings
Stinger-Style wings combine sweet and spicy flavors with a chargrilled finish. Available in traditional or boneless varieties, these award-winning wings come with house-made bleu cheese dressing. Customers consistently rate them 'the best in Central New York' with 'perfect seasoning'.
Salads
Freshly-prepared salads feature locally-sourced produce and house-made dressings. The Antipasto salad includes premium meats and cheeses, while the wedge salad showcases house-cured bacon. All salads use crisp, seasonal ingredients that customers describe as 'exceptionally fresh' and 'restaurant-quality'.
Pub Food
Classic pub fare includes garlic knots, nachos with smoky cheese, and Buffalo chicken wraps. Daily specials rotate weekly, featuring chef-created dishes that pair perfectly with our craft beers. Portions are generous, with customers noting 'you won't go home hungry' and 'great value for the price'.
