Rogan’s Corner

Every time I find myself needing to be on South Hill, I always tryto plan it around lunchtime so I have an excuse to have lunch at Rogans. Their sandwiches/​subs are great. For those of you who are longtime Ithaca residents the sandwiches/​subs are the menu from the old King Sub in the west end. Big fan of the Eskimo and the King Midas.
I think Rogans also has decent pizza, not great bit good.
Very reasonably priced, especially for lunch.

I had this thing called a slobberknocker there, it was amazing. I need someone to post a picture of one.

Ordered a margarita pizza, it was soggy and had no flavor; probably the worst pizza I’ve had in a while

Good food good beer good service Tully burger needs to be changed back to the original

We order her a few times a year, and every time it seems there’s a problem. Tonight we ordered and paid for a large pizza (which they say is 16″). I got home and the pizza really looked small. I measured it and it was 14″ — that’s actually a quarter less pizza. They offered a refund, but the kids are ready for pizza and I’m not willing to wait and go somewhere else tonight. You can bet I’ll go elsewhere next time I order pizza.

best sandwich spot in ithaca. i go at least 2x per week. would highly recommend. and they have $ 1 drafts all day long

I ordered food here today. This will be the last time. It took over an hour and a half for my subpar food to arrive, and when it did finally get here it was cold. When I called the Restaurant I was placed on hold for over four minutes and still did not receive a satisfying reply to my concern that my food had not arrived yet in an hour and a half. I would not recommend this place and I will never be ordering again.

THE WORST SANDWICH IVE EVER HAD! long time Unilocal reader and this place was so bad that i feel i have to make my first review. Literally DISGUSTING! i ordered the sandwich the far far away and it was inedible. Cold chicken cutlet that tasted like it was 3 days old, with some of the lowest quality toppings ive ever seen. i took one bite, spit it out, and threw out the sandwich. as a senior at cornell i was hoping to find another good sandwich place in the area apart from the regular spots. from now on il stick to whats dependable and be sure to speak negatively of rogans corner to anyone who mentions it. GROSS — if i could give less than one star i would

It took them 2 hours to deliver a cold sub and a salad. the sub was small and thrown together, the bread was the generic kind you buy at the store.

Crappy service, can’t comment on the food. We were staying at the Hampton Inn and saw the tempting menu, the family was starving and all psyched for the subs. Called to place the order and was put on hold for 10 minutes. Called back, «Rogan’s Corner please hold» (said as if that was one word) *click* Hold for another 5 minutes. This happened a few more times. Finally called again and this time I talked very quickly over the «Rogan’scornerpleasehold»…and asked her to please take a sandwich order for 4 standard subs and we would come to pick them up…*click*. Ok, Panera it is…

A Galaxy Far Far Away. It’s a sandwich. Get it with tomatoes. Now, back to my sandwich.

I really wanted to like this place. It has a nice location up on south hill and if you eat outside, the parking lot overlooks both Cayuga lake and Cornell, a truly stunning view.
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich «to go», so I could eat outside and replenish all that vitamin D I lost during Ithaca’s winter months. For $ 8 the sandwich was quite large, a reasonable price point. The bread tasted fresh and the chicken was cooked very well. However, when I opened the tinfoil wrapper I noticed that the sub was a hot soggy mess. This was especially strange because there was absolutely no sauce on the sub at all, not even mayo or mustard. The warm sub must have sweated all over itself and the excess moisture smothered my sandwich. It was kind of gross. Its too bad because the chicken tasted fresh and the parts of the bread that I could salvage were equally good. The toppings were just OK: while the lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes were kind of mushy, and the sweet peppers were more bitter than sweet.
Maybe next time I’ll try their pizza.

Given that this is actually a gas station, I know I should not have expected much, but sometimes hole-​in-​the-​wall places turn out to be the best. This is not one of those places. The food is edible, but it is dirty and the people who work there are incredibly, incredibly rude (The worst I’ve ever seen). I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food is always great from Rogans. I love their Philly’s.

Go to
to save on future orders … Awesome takeout food here … Ask for the Mike Brained sub too !!!

There is not much to dislike about Rogans. This place is awesome. Dollar drafts for most of the day, dollar slices on Mondays, and awesome sandwiches. I recommend the Bomber. Food is great and they deliver (including beer). Easy 5 star rating.

I have to depart from my fellow reviewers here. I’m presently eating a pizza from Rogan’s and all I can think about is Dominoes. Seriously greasy. Heavy, oily cheese. I simply can’t imagine having such strong positive reviews when nearly identical pizza is available mass produced in every town from coast to coast. There is way too much good pizza in this town to bother with this mess. I can’t speak to the other menu items, but the pizza was a big disappointment.

Rogans is the best! They have the best pizza I’ve ever had. There open really late and they have low delivery minimums so you can order dinner for one and still get food sent to your house. I love that you can also order things like beer, candy, soda, ice cream, milk, and whatever groceries that you need and they will deliver it. Other than pizza they have great bread sticks, salads, and roast beef sandwiches.

Sadly, Rogan’s is not what it used to be. Back between 1988 and 1992, Rogan’s was the place to go for pizza and wings and subs and beer. It was ALWAYS busy. I can’t even tell you how many nights my friends and I ordered pizza and wings from Rogan’s to help us get through a night of studying or to satisfy some late-​night cravings.
When I was in Ithaca in the fall of 2006, Rogan’s was CLOSED. When I stopped to get a slice of pizza, I was told that they were closed for renovations and had been sold to a new owner. :(
In the summer of 2007, they were back open, but it seemed like everything was missing. The inside had changed. It so wasn’t what it used to be. We didn’t even order pizza or wings, not sure if they even still had any. We were really disappointed.
But at least we have the memories… LOL

Rogan’s is a total South Hill landmark. They don’t necessarily have the world’s most amazing pizza, but they are the best source of pizza located immediately adjacent to Ithaca College (I actually dug Franco’s sauce a little more)— which means you’re not going to spend 3 hours waiting for delivery.
Delivery cut-​off at Rogan’s was one of those times that defined your existence, like knowing when quiet hours were in effect, what time they stopped serving breakfast in the Terrace dining hall on weekends, and when last call was.
Their subs were also pretty good, and it’s a convenient place to get gas and beer.
Rogan’s also provided the raw materials for one of the weirdest eating habits I ever acquired — dipping the crust in the free Pepsi that came with the pizza. Picked that one up from a roommate’s friend. Never done that anywhere else or any time since…
