The Wildcat

We had my husbands 36th birthday here on 11/8. We rented out a portion of the party room and got it catered. We had about 25-30 people show up. Food was excellent and fresh, and loved that we had a little window to order drinks at. Andrea was very apologetic that some people took one of our tables but we didn’t really care, we had more than enough. My dad has celiac and we were able to get him a GF personal pizza and some owings, he didn’t end up getting sick from cross contamination so we were thankful for that! It’s always a risk when we eat somewhere new. We will be back for regular dinners, we had never been before!

We are fans of Trappers pizza, but since they are on the east side of Syracuse and we live in the west side, we don't get there very often. So, we were happy to learn in a recent review published by our local newspaper that The Wildcat had the same recipes used by Trappers. We visited the restaurant at our first opportunity and ordered a large pizza with four toppings. The first bites were very reminiscent of Trapper's pizza. However, we soon noticed that the bottom crust was not only limp but soggy. This may have been a problem due to the toppings we ordered. I'm sure the roasted red peppers and mushrooms released liquid as they cooked and this may have overloaded the crust. The sauce, cheese, two vegetables, and pepperoni were delicious, but we found the sausage strange tasting and used

It’s funny that After 4 years living here, this is my first visit and won’t be my last. I went out on trivia night, it was a blast! The beer selection is a great variety of high quality beers. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. And the fries are some sort of monster curly cue fries that I have never seen. The sandwich was great with smothered cheese and a sauce with just enough bite. I was told that the philly cheese steak is good and my buddy got a slice of pizza that looked good. I will order that next time.

So I had won a certificate for a free pizza, so I went to redeem. I added toppings and a couple garlic knots so I had a small balance to pay, Turns out Venmo was down as I was going to pay, and I couldn’t transfer my money elsewhere. The cashier behind the counter didn’t think twice about paying for my order so I could have my food! Such a small gesture, but so meaningful I wish I would’ve caught her name!

Great place, bar area was super busy. Large side room was nice for additional seating. We tried pizza and sandwiches.... both were outstanding!
