Best pizza i have had in Albany. Most NYC style and tasting pie in the capital region out of the 20 or places I've been to so far.
I could die happy right now. Perfect crust, NO FLOP, delicious sauce, real meat rice balls (arancini) you can't find anywhere else. The best part is I didn't have to drive 3 hours for it. Make sure you call ahead unless you're just picking up a slice. DO NOT FORGET A HOMEMADE CANNOLI. A+
This was our first time here. We got a deluxe pizza (sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers) and a plain cheese along with pasta fagioli. We got takeout so we reserved a spot for 7:50 when we called at 4 in the afternoon. When you arrive they’ll put your name up on the screen in the window for you to come in and pick it up. Our pizza was ready by 7:52. I was impressed with how accurate and timely it was. It was definitely a good pizza. I was partial to the deluxe. It wasn’t overloaded with toppings so it didn’t bend when you picked it up and the crust was the appropriate amount of crispy. The pasta fagioli was great too. I just got plain as that’s how I like it but you can add protein to it if you want. One of the better pizza spots in the Albany area that I’ve had thus far.
Excellent pizza with a crispy crust and flavorful sauce. Only open 4 days per week, so check hours carefully. It’s definitely one of the best pizzas in Albany.
Lets just say, I used to have this pie shipped to me when I lived in California. Grew up here in guilderland. Watched these guys grow into the best pizza place in the capital district. Can't say enough good things, only qualm is theres only one location 🤪 …
This is a fantastic restaurant with wonderful owners! They use fresh ingredients and you can really taste the difference. It's a great place for both dining in (really nice dining area) and pick up! I really recommend trying their pizza!
When you move from the city, it can be hard to find similar foods to what you’re used to…well, I’m SO glad I decided to order some pizza to take home when I got my nails done across the street because YES!!! I had to wait a while which threw me off as I don’t live too close but had placed the order a day in advance but it was SO well worth the wait!!!! It’s greasy, it folds, and it’s exactly what pizza should be.
This pizza is Amazing. If you like a NY style thin crust pie, it really is very, very good. The enterence and outside will definitely deceive you for what you have in store inside the dining room. The dining room & bar area is very quaint and has an very cozy feel. It doesn't feel like a plaza pizzaria, it's really comfortable, they did a fantastic job on the design. The meals going by our table looked amazing, but I went for the pizza. Awesome Italian food coming out of a small place in hidden shopping plaza. Actually way out of my way, but am making plans to go back asap.
rare 5 star review. there’s 2 entrances; one for slices and pickup and a nice dark dining and bar area. very friendly staff for lunch. casual vibe but upscale interior. dedicated lunch or regular menu. classy decor. comparable prices to other restaurants. pizza was excellent and salad may have been even better. pizza was 14inch personal cheese. high expectations and high quality results. shoutout the decent bar seated crowd for 1pm. 🍻🍺
This was a Reddit find. The chatter has been good and increasingly becoming more frequent. Party of four in an adorable little dinning room. You walk into a traditional strip mall slice joint, then (if you have a reservation) they usher you into the side dinning room. We ordered, large buffalo chicken, large meat pizza and a personal margarita with prosciutto. The sizes are exceptional. The heartiness, fantastic. The crust, great integrity to fold with a crisp and carry all the toppings. The sauce is clearly a fresh tomato with no added frills. Served hot but a single waitress/bar-keep. She would definitely be too busy alone if the dinning room filled up but was attentive. Back to the food, the flavors were all there. But if red sauce with buff and added a hint of sweetness to a perfectly spicy buffalo chicken that was juicy chicken held in place with just enough cheese. I tasted every meat, pepperoni, sausage, meatball and bacon on the meat pie. Toppings were not skimpy. I can’t wait to go back to try more. This is keeper. Photos are a couple of slices in but you can see the heartiness.
