Pontillo’s Pizzeria and Restaurant

Pontillo’s Pizzeria and Restaurant has been a Cortland staple for about seven decades. It serves traditional Italian-American style pizza, with sit-down dining and take-out, and it has the kind of longevity that few restaurants manage in any town, let alone in a small city like Cortland, where a longtime favorite becomes part of the community.

A pizzeria that has lasted that long has seen generations of Cortland families come in for dinner, and that history is part of the appeal. The restaurant is a member of the Cortland Area Chamber of Commerce and is featured by Crown City Rising and Experience Cortland.
