Being here was like being transported in time. The decor is so vintage and cool, and the pizza (buffalo chicken, & bacon ranch) was fantastic. Prices are decent as well.

Still great after all these years. Their pizza has the best toppings and crust in town. Try the "Varsity" pizza which has red sauce and mozzarella with a delicious combination of 2 meat (pepperoni & sausage) and 3 vegetable (onion, bell pepper, & mushroom) toppings. Also, while you're waiting for Elli to cook your pizza, place an order for 5 or 10 wings with Gus and he'll call out your name when they're ready to pick up. There are many additional comfort foods on the menu, and all of the ones I've tried are good. While you're eating, check out the college flags hung on the walls. Depending on the time of the year, if a flag is upside down it means that the Syracuse basketball or football team beat that school during the current season. Sadly, if the flag is upright it means we lost. POST- PANDEMIC UPDATE-1: Elli is still making the best pizza in town. I know it's a selfish thought, but I hope she never retires. UPDATE-2: During a lunch at the Varsity with friends, I learned that Syracuse University has purchased the restaurant and may tear it down in the next 2 years. If this is true, it reflects very badly on President Syverud of Syracuse University. Hopefully, alumni will unite in opposition. UPDATE-3: Still making the best pizza in town.

The service was quick. The staff were friendly. We came in before the crowd and got our food quick. We found a table quick. The place is clean, the atmosphere is awesome. I got a bacon burger with fries and a drink. I ate it so fast I didn’t get a pic. You cant beat the price! I definitely will come back!

Varsity, at the corner of Crouse and Marshall in Syracuse has been around seemingly forever. It’s pretty much a way of life at Syracuse University. ‘Meet me at Varsity’ was a thing back when I was a student there, and it still is today as the next generations of students makes it their own. Yeah, Varsity is definitely a tradition at the CUSE. Their menu is pretty expansive and hasn’t change much in the last decade or so. They have a lot of sandwich and sub options, as well as some wraps. A fan favorite has always been their wings and pizza. Those two staples alone kind of put Varsity on the map, and that’s what I ordered. The chicken wings were as good as ever. Nice and crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The BBQ sauce was just perfect. The pepperoni slice that I got to accompany the wings was also good. The crust was particularly outstanding. Loved it! A lot has changed on Marshall St. over the last decade or so. A few beloved shops are gone replaced by the flavor of the day. Some old-time places have thankfully remained, with Varsity being one of them. Whenever I make the drive up from the City for a football or basketball game, I try and stop in for a quick bite. This is a place worth going to when you’re in the area. The food is great and the people are friendly. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

THIS is your quintessential college-town "place" to grab some grub. Pizza (sausage and pepperoni) was phenomenal, but so were the wings and so were the folks taking orders and making food. We were here for a College visit, this made US want to quit our jobs and enroll at Syracuse!

Never a bad experience here. Actually it's always been a fun experience. Everytime we are around the area we stop it. Loved the last time after SU won, the band came and played on top of the tables. Being/Visiting here makes me feel young again!!

5 stars because all I had was the pizza, which was fresh and delicious! I look forward to going back to try other menu items! I expect it will maintain the 5 star rating! The atmosphere is casual and it makes you want to go to an SU game immediately!

Ordered pizza to go. Pizza was good and service was very friendly. Prices were fair.

You can get menu overload from the selection of food items. I had to step back and take it all in. I was finely able to settle on pizza. You can't go wrong with pizza. A slice of sausage and a slice of pepperoni hit the spot, and the cost was very reasonable.

CLASSIC COLLEGE PIZZA JOINT. The Varsity is on the edge of campus in the shadow of the Dome and has been around for almost 100 years. Pregame the line is long but moves quickly. The pizza is good with thin crust and a nice sauce. I grab a slice at every SU game!

Stopped in on my way to the SU football game and this place hit the spot. Really good pizza at a reasonable price right near Syracuse University.

Went to Syracuse to watch the basketball game of the day. Then came to Varsity, a must try place according to my hubby. The pizzas were very good, they even sold out at 15:30. The buffalo wings were also a big hit.

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! 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!

I haven't been here for 30 plus years since I went to College at Syracuse and it looks the same! Great food just like I remembered. I had the Varsity Cheese Steak with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese. Delicious! They serve beer! Still announcing your name when your wings are ready! The best wings around!

Great pizza, wrap, & grill restaurant!! Staff was friendly and courteous and took great pride in preparing excellent food. I got a gluten free wrap and it was made with care and perfection:) My husband got pizza, 2 slices for $5! Then liked it so much went back for more!! He just loved the crust, delicious!!

I ordered a large pizza, half cheese half mushroom and green pepper. It was ready in about 15 minutes, which is not bad at all! A good pizza. The best part was the sauce by far! The crust and cheese were good, and the topics were fine. The green peppers did not taste too fresh. The staff was friendly, and it was a good experience! I recommend giving it a try.

Decided to get a slice of pizza on my lunch break, have heard great things! Service wasn't friendly but wasn't particularly unfriendly. I ordered a single slice at the front counter.. not sure if they usually reheat it? Anyways there wasn't a lick of warmth and the pizza was hardening, no melty cheese. Was a bit disappointing as I was treating myself for a slice and I'm hoping from other positive reviews it usually is better, maybe just not the pizza to go counter.

Didn't get food because the line was crazy. They need to put a window on the street to divide the crowed and make the place more manageable
