Pizza Aroma Ithaca Reviews
Bean and cheese pupusa was great, I liked it better than the jalepeno and cheese. In the future I’ll ask for less cheese and more beans. And the curtido and salsa were really good too
Amazing options and professional service. The vegan pizza was outstanding
After a very bad experience at nearby Franco's Pizza with my daughter we decided to come here instead and we're very glad we did. The people are very nice here, the horchata was delicious. PIzza is definitely solid and the pupusas are top-notch. I highly recommend them over Franco's especially given their quality of hospitality here at pizza aroma.
My favorite is the salad pizza! Different from any other pizza, DELICIOUS!!! they have interesting items on the menu. Not just pizza. Super friendly family owned and operated.
This place is absolutely delicious and the portions are so large I always have to take some home
The owners are wonderful. Always very friendly and helpful. Do yourself a favor and try their pupusas. The horchata is also very good. Seriously though, go try the pupusas, they're fantastic.
I’ve been living in Ithaca for 10 years and have always told myself to give this place a try. I have always enjoyed Pupusas in NYC and Miami. These are hands down the best I’ve ever had. I truly could kick myself for not indulging in these delicious Pupusas sooner. Today I tried the pork and cheese and chicken and cheese. Both were amazing! They are made to order so plan to wait at least 15 minutes for them. It is well worth the wait! They were extremely fresh and so satisfying. Will be a frequent customer! Great job.
Nice stop for a pepperoni and mushroom pizza for lunch. Ready in 15 minutes, tasted great!
Pupusas are absolutely fantastic. So are the tamales. This has been my favorite pizza shop since childhood, couldn’t recommend more.
The guy who took our order was so attentive, patience and kind. The pizza was UH-mazing!!! I would definitely visit again, if in the area, and would highly recommend. Thanks so much for delicious, affordable food and world class service!!! ☺️
Amazing I had a slice of pizza two pupusas and their new Horchata. Ive heard a lot of good things and they sure lived up to it. A couple who worked for an Italian food spot for 12 years run this. While adding small authentic SALVADORIAN cuisine to the mix. Amazing. Im originall from Los Angeles california, so let me tell you ive had my share of latin food. these pupusas are so good. 10/10 would eat here regulary. Para mis latinos la horchata es hecho en casa muy amables ✨️✊🏾
What a great place to eat! I go to Pizza Aroma especially for their pupusas. I have been traveling to El Salvador every year since 2011 to visit our sister community. When I eat Pizza Aroma's pupusas, I feel like I am right back in El Salvador at my favorite pupuseria!
If you're looking for vegan pizza in Ithaca this is your spot! They have Daiya cheese and a bunch of veggies to pile on. The crust is thin and crispy with a good handle that's nice and airy and doesn't get stale when you eat cold pizza for breakfast the next day 🙃. They also have a great selection of regional or small brand soda pop!
I have tasted many pizzas in my life, but none of them can compare to the one I had at Pizza Aroma. It was a thin crust pizza with feta cheese, black beans and diced tomato. It was cooked to perfection! The crust was crispy and thin and every bite was an explosion of flavor and texture. I couldn't get enough of it. It was the most delicious pizza I've ever had, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves pizza. Pizza so good, it'll wreck your diet 😋
Excellent Pizza every time! Fresh basil n garlic our favorite! Been coming here for years each time we visit Ithaca. No worries the man behind the counter will make it amazing! But what's up with the cities new stupid meter parking (go back to normal meters). Great way to kill local businesses not kewl!
As expected, Pizza Aroma’s reopening is a blessing to the pizza-eaters of Ithaca! I have loved their delicious black bean pizza since I was 10 years old and man it just keeps getting better. Delicious food, friendly staff—- if you are in the area you should absolutely stop by! So good to see them finally in a brighter and bigger space!
Visiting Ithaca - I returned to Pizza Aroma and expectations met yet again! I remember when the place opened 22 years ago- toppings always fresh and the same guy still behind the counter making and serving the pizza. Now gluten free- I knew I wasn't going to be served an authentic pizza dough but the toppings made up for it-- white garlic base, spinach, artichokes and feta - with a dash of avocado. Delicious! So many new speciality pizzas to try!
No one greeted me when I came in, then when they finally addressed me, it was to ask what I wanted. Atmosphere was weird and not welcoming. Food is way over priced. I apologize if there was a language/culture barrier, but would have loved to witness them interact with another patron to see if the experience I had was personal.
45 years old and the worst experience I've ever had. I walked in. The owner and a lady are standing there. No greeting. They both just commenced to speaking their language, taking glances at me and going about doing nothing. At which point a worker came from the back and after some time and noticing my face asked if my order had been taken at which point I realized I wasn't hungry. For Pizza Aroma. Ever again in life.
