Mangia Macrina’s Wood Fired Pizza

Mangia Macrina’s Wood Fired Pizza is a pizza restaurant in Utica, the Oneida County city on the Mohawk River. The name tells the story: mangia means eat in Italian, and the pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven, a method known for a crisp, lightly charred crust.

Wood-fired pizza is a different experience from a standard delivery pie. In Utica, a city with deep Italian American roots, a pizzeria like this one fits right in and gives locals another reason to argue about the best pie in town.
