Potsdam Little Italy

Afternoon lunch with my Mom, we were cold and hungry, left warm and FULLy satisfied. Natalia was our server; she was super nice and very attentive. We had an incredible lunch and hands down the best poutine! Kitchen/Staff were great , this was by far the best Little Italy I've been to. Perfect spot for a quick bite & take out! My Mom got mild chicken wings w/blue cheese, and a house salad w/ranch, their dressings were PHENOMENAL! 🍗 😋🥗 My calzone was (pepperoni, mushroom, onion, black olive, and broccoli) HIGHLY, recommend. 😘🤌🏼

The wings were super good and very big. I liked that they weren’t stingy with the ranch and give you a good amount of it. The garlic knots were nice and warm. It was pretty packed when I went so, I guess you can say it is a very popular spot.

I was craving for chocolate lava cake and saw that they have it on the menu and was excited to get it, but it’s just regular chocolate cake that was drizzled with chocolate syrup on top, didn’t have any molten chocolate coming out when I got to the middle. Their pizzas are great, but if they don’t know how to bake a lava cake, they shouldn’t have it on the menu.

UPDATE 08/29/2025 RIBEYE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK 🫨💓🔥 I just spent around 5 months in and around Philly this past year, have eaten more Cheesesteaks than I'd like to admit, and this is the most legit one I've seen in Northern New York! Most people think that a legit Cheesesteak comes standard with Peppers and or Mushrooms and that could not be further from the truth. 100% ! Highly Recommend trying this Cheesesteak as is and let it blow your mind! UPDATE 07/16/2025 REVISED: 02/18/2026 OKAY! within the past few months the owner changed the dough recipe on their pizza and it is awesome for this area! It's crispy and light. The ratios have definitely been dialed in compared to what it was. Also they have Cup & Char Pepperoni which is delicious. My absolute favorite is the Margherita Pizza cooked

I have ordered from Little Italy in Potsdam on several occasions. Recently, I placed a pickup order for myself and some friends. Overall, it was a great experience. Everything was ready when I arrived. The online ordering process was simple. The staff were very friendly. I enjoyed my create your pasta dish, one friend had a calzone, and another had a buffalo chicken pizza. The one complaint was that the Buffalo Chicken Pizza was definitely on the mild side. My suggestion might be to add a hot sauce or honey hot drizzle to the ordering options.
