Trapper’s Pizza Pub

Great food with minimal hassle. They know how to make wings.
If you like to have control over your dining without sacrificing an actual table, Trapper’s could be for you. It’s a «fast casual» (Volleyball bar, so it’s about as casual as it gets) restaurant where you order at the counter and the staff will deliver your food to the table.
The wings are simple and awesome. If you’re tired of alleged «Buffalo» wings that would get you lynched in Buffalo, Trapper’s has the real thing.
The pizza is acceptable and it does get a bit expensive, but it’s available by the slice so you can test it out before committing to larger purchases. Sandwiches, burgers, and salads
Access to the soda fountain gives you total control over your dining so you can eat & run or eat & stay without having to worry about a server. Of course there’s a full bar that’s popular with the suit as well as the Carhartt crowd. Volleyball isn’t the only game, there are pinball machines and darts as well.

Very good wings. Nice amount of crispy-​ness. Also, they actually give you celery! It’s like no one does that any more. Thank you.
Yet, their pizza is too thin. When it is reheated, it ends up getting hard. Also, it gets cold quickly.
Their SU game specials, aren’t.

I didn’t really have any food here and only one alcoholic beverage, as I came for Paint Nite. However, the atmosphere was great and it was rather busy, so people apparently like it here. Fortunately, my friend and I got there early for Paint Nite and got seats with good lighting, as I heard others weren’t as fortunate.
When we went to get drinks, it took a little while, and I would say it was because it was busy, however, we were there at the bar waiting before a large group went up, and yet they were served first and we ended up waiting a good 5-​minutes longer. No biggie since we weren’t exactly going anywhere and I don’t get upset easily by trivial things, as it happens, but my friend admittedly got a little annoyed.
Paint Nite, as always, was a lot of fun, and I’m already planning the next one with other friends!
I usually play volleyball (or used to until I dislocated my shoulder a month ago) at Trappers 2, so I’m more familiar with that setting. However, I would definitely come back to actually enjoy the bar atmosphere and try the food again in the future! Great time and lots of fun for Paint Nite with plenty of space.

I ordered food for delivery through GrubHub from this restaurant and after waiting for 2 hours, decided to call them. They claimed I was outside of their delivery area (even though delivery showed up as an option on GrubHub) and that they tried to contact me twice. I had my phone with me the entire time — no one called. The person on the phone was very rude and completely unapologetic for the situation. She also claimed she called my number and once was yelled at by a man, then another time told that no one by my name was reachable at that phone. My phone number is accurate in the GrubHub system. Obviously someone misdialed and no further effort was made. Beware of ordering from this place (especially on GrubHub as the restaurant clearly did not communicate their delivery area properly). I do not ever plan on dining at this restaurant after this poor example of «customer service».

This would be a 5 star review if it weren’t for the expensive prices as compared to other local pizza places. There pizza and wings are hands down the best in Syracuse. The prices are slightly higher than most. If you compare a place like Twin Trees East you can get a 2 topping large pizza, 24 wings and a 2L for $ 30 after tax. The same would cost $ 40 at trappers and you’d get 4 less wings. They used to have family night where the food was discounted and deserved a 5 star review, but that is no longer. Still the best pizza regardless… just wish it fell in line with other local prices.

Best pizza and wings I’ve ever had. Perfect amount of crispiness in both. It’s also a great place to stop and get a beer and a slice and watch sports if that’s your thing.

Came in for Sunday football. Beer selection is decent; service is lacking. Had a slice of pizza and wings. Wings were awesome! However, trying to get a beer from the bartender was difficult. Bartender seemed more interested in socializing with her friends than making the rounds or even eye contact.

Stopped in for lunch today for the first time. I enjoy Trappers for for the following reasons:
–food is good (sandwiches/​pizza/​wings)
–nice beer selection
–lots of seating (Both indoor and out)
–volleyball in the summer (fun to watch)
However, with the good usually comes some bad…
–food took quite some time to arrive
–too expensive… everything here is just a buck or two more than it should cost…$ 11 for a lunch wrap and drink is excessive
Overall I’d say Trappers is a nice option for a happy hour drink or two as well as some snacks, but I’ll pass on them for lunch/​dinner.

Stopped in for some wings and a beer around 6 on a Thursday. Horrible service. I ordered wings (not at the bar or at a table, but at a cafeteria style fast food line). I was given a number and told it would be ready soon. I walked over to the bar and found a dirty empty spot. While waiting for the bartender to acknowledge me (it would take 10 minutes because she was busy talking to friends) the food order taker employee comes up to me and informs me I have to pay before they can cook the food. I hand her my billfold and continue waiting for the bartender to look up. Wings were okay. Beer was beer (they don’t make that!). Service and atmosphere was horrible, horrible, horrible! Not stopping here again.

Great choice of draft beers, Fantiastic Pizza. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Great sports bar with volley ball courts if you don’t want to just sit and watch.

A group of three of us went here because we were looking for good pizza and one of the guys in our group said they had a good experience here. We arrived around 10pm, to the register girl telling us we had to be out by 10:30pm because they were closing early for a private party. We agreed and decided to order something quick. Several times we tried to give the girl our order only to find her spaced out looking in the other direction and responding with «What? oh sorry what’d you say?» We finally placed our order and sat down. The atmosphere is run down and tacky and when we finally got the food it was awful. My buffalo pizza tasted like it had bbq sauce on it and the tiny spinach and feta wrap was gross. I’d never go back!
Bottom line-​service was horrible and so was the food and atmosphere.

Looking for bars around Syracuse: This is where to go. They have outdoor beach volleyball leagues in the summer, a nice patio, a great arcade for «kids» with all the bar games, a full bar with very reasonable prices, lots of tvs for football/​baseball, and quality pizza, wings, etc. Not expensive, and you won’t be afraid of getting knifed (Marshall Street), robbed (Armory Square), or shot (Westcott).
This is the best place to spend a Saturday/​Sunday afternoon with friends in the snowy winter of Syracuse (unless you go outside…).
