Over the years, this has proven to be one of our favorite casual restaurants. Try the pasta-chip nachos as an appetizer for two to four people. Their kitchen makes one of our favorite pizzas in Syracuse, the Sicilian. We ask that it be garnished with chopped basil instead of parsley, and request a small side of marinara to dip the crust The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and comfortable and the service is friendly and efficient. UPDATE-1: They recently purchased and renovated the building next door, so they can now host large private parties. UPDATE-2: We were very sorry to learn that CopperTop has discontinued their Sicilian pizza. We thought it was one of the best pizzas available in Syracuse and have enjoyed it on a number of occasions. Instead, I ordered the flat iron steak with fries in place of the mashed potatoes. The fries, mushrooms, onion rings, and in-house-made steak sauce we're very good, but the mixed vegetables were overcooked and the steak was so fatty it was not enjoyable. My wife was very pleased with the vegetable sandwich she ordered with steamed broccoli as a side. I'm lowering my rating of the restaurant from 5 stars to 4 stars. UPDATE-3: I ordered a lunch special that included an individual-size pepperoni pizza and a side salad. It was a great meal for a very good price. My wife ordered the Thai noodles with chicken. The spicy peanut sauce was excellent and the chicken was tender. The match-stick carrots and chopped peanuts added a nice crunch as a counterpoint to the soft noodles. UPDATE-4: This time, I had the lunch-special pepperoni pizza with soup. For small up charge, you can get French onion soup and it's well worth it. UPDATE-5: Tried a second noodle dish on their menu, bang bang chicken. Not as flavorful as the Thai noodles with chicken, but quite good. UPDATE-6: Tried the sausage bread appetizer with marinara sauce to dip. Very good, and quite a generous serving. Was a bit disappointed with my stir fried chicken teriyaki. The sauce was a little too sweet, so I asked for some soy sauce to increase the salt and umami. It helped, but I wouldn't order this again. UPDATE-7: Tried two new things on this visit. Both the chicken tenders and beignets were delicious. Moved my rating back up to 5 stars. UPDATE-8: The fish and chips are highly recommended.
