50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Albany

“I love this place, I work right around the corner and always look up to getting some lunch there. They recently introduced Indian food bowls to the menu and it was sooo good, I got the butter chicken and it was amazing. Customer service is great they always make me feel welcome and the trust is there, I know I'll never leave disappointed and will enjoy my meals.“

“Yo, I just went to this place a couple weeks ago and their pizza is on point! We had like a pesto chicken pizza and that shit smacked!! there wasn’t a lot of people so I liked that it was chill. It’s a good place to do karaoke and bring some friends to just eat chill and vibe. Definitely my new favorite pizza spot.“

“Went in without realizing they were closing in 15 minutes. The staff didn’t mention it and made a pizza quickly for me and my kids. They loved the pizza and now want to add it to our regular pizza night. Next time I’ll make sure to get there much earlier though.“

“Our group of five enjoyed lunch on a quiet afternoon. Their pies are 9' or 12' and offer numerable custom options ~ rare amongst many pizza spots! with that in mind know wait time up to 25 minutes for delivery; we only ordered one starter roasted cauliflower to share. The pies were generous, prepped as ordered and service was relaxed. Fun !“

“What can I say you guys rock!!! This is just like the pizza 🍕 I grew up with I came in because I hadn’t eaten all day and I was hungry. You’re pizza hit the spot I will definitely come back. The woman who took our order was very friendly thanks for making my day“

“This is my favorite dominoes pizza— the staff here is what truly makes a place and its atmosphere. The guys and gals here are pleasant, friendly, proactive, fair, and they work as a team who knows how to make some pizza pies! This is not a sit down place, so that’s why I have only 2 seats for atmosphere… but it’s Che cosi et bello- andiamo! Tutti la mangia la pizza!“

“Simple, Delicious and Friendly!
Stopped by Golden Boy Pizza and tried their Veggie Pizza in a small size — and it absolutely hit the spot! Tasty, fresh, and just the right amount of satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the staff courteous, helpful, and genuinely great at walking you through the options and recommendations. A small touch that goes a long way!
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. 🍕“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“I just walked in during a busy time. The waiters were great and the atmosphere was hoping. I was able to make my order, half bacon&half pepperoni Detroit style. The pizza did not disappoint. I live in Chicago and very picky and this pizza met my expectations. Even good the next morning cold(yes cold).“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“I'm sorry for this my beloved cellarmaker but it's finally time for a review and I must take off a star for just finishing the saltiest slice of pizza I've ever had in my life. Took me an hour to get through it, even though it was good.

I've been patroning this location ever since moving to this fine City and honestly the pizza quality has gone down over time. The chefs have become totally salt-blind. And they make the wildest pizzas I've never conceived of. They need to tone it down a little bit. Make pizzas people enjoy.

The pizza in question tonight had olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic. High sodium was expected, yes, but not like this.

Easily the saltiest olives I've ever had. And the anchovy texture was horrid. Today I learned I do not like my anchovies baked to a dry leather. Fresh-out-the-tin for me only, from now on. I think I've had enough salt for the whole week!!“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“absolutely delicious absolutely delicious delicious New pizzeria I love it clean the crust is excellent“

“Apple endive salad was a perfect mixture of flavors and textures. I would call this a destination salad because I would drive to eat this again :). Also had the Casanova pizza, which was also very tasty. The crust was perfect and had just the slightest char for added flavor. I will be back for the salad as well as to try many of the other pizzas. This place is legitimately yummy.“

“Easily one of the best pizza shops in the Bay. However, the girl at the cash register needs to learn how to manage and triage customer requests better.

I asked for extra burrata on my pizza and was completely willing to pay for it. She looked at me dumbfounded, as if I had asked her to send a rocket to the moon. She said it was the first time anyone had ever asked for that and that she wasn’t sure if she could do it. So I asked if she could get someone who could figure out how to charge me for an extra ball of burrata. She basically ignored the request and said nothing else.

That kinda bugged me. If you don’t know how to do something, fine, but ask someone who does. I’m literally standing there offering to give you more money. I probably would’ve paid up to $8 for this ball of cheese. Make shit happen!

She did ultimately give me extra parm on the side, but she also wrote “extra cheese” on my ticket, and holy hell, they made the pizza look like Zermatt after a snowstorm with the amount of parm they grated over it.

Still would’ve preferred the extra ball of burrata…

They need someone at the register who is a little more sociable and willing to figure shit out for the customer instead of just shutting down when someone makes a slightly unusual request.

I’ll absolutely come again because the pizza is that good, but goddamn, I won’t be making any more complicated requests like “can I pay you for an extra ball of burrata?” Apparently that gets you looked at like you just asked them to commit a war crime.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Still dreamin’ about the meatballs from Angie’s… had I known better, I would’ve ordered the extra meatball. 😭

Angie’s is a cute, chic restaurant specializing in wood-fired pizza and a seasonal rotating menu. Such a perfect spot for date night!

Absolutely loved the R&B music, the vibes, and, of course, mopped up every last bit of food. 😂

We ordered the heirloom tomato salad, wood-fired meatballs, Margherita pizza, and peach vanilla sundae — and everything was DELICIOUS. It completely satisfied every pizza craving we had.

On a previous visit, we ordered the pepperoni pizza to-go, and OMG. It might be one of the most perfectly balanced pizzas I’ve had — sweet, spicy, savory, and just the right amount of everything.

Great food, great vibes, and a great date-night spot. Definitely coming back for those meatballs. 🍕“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“The food is absolutely stunning. Everything is fresh and the flavors mix amazingly“

“It's been a classic in SF for so long for a reason. This is a must visit. Book early or you will not get in. If you fail to get in look up their sister restaurant penny roma, also incredible. The best deal here is the tasting menu. You 100% get your money's worth and get to try several off menu items. I live a 2+ hour flight away and I'll always try to get a table when I visit.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“Always a go-to when wanting a fast quick meal. One thing I love is they are open LATE! Someone like me who is constantly on the go or working late ... I know they always got my back! pizza slices are huge and squarish. salads are amazing, workers are always polite and customer service Orientated. I appreciate the consistency!!!“

“Not sure how it’s the fourth-best pinsa in the U.S., unless the other three pinserias are also in San Francisco. It’s perfectly fine if you’re hungry and already on Fillmore, but it probably wouldn’t be my first choice otherwise.

They have a good variety of pinsas, although I didn’t find them as balanced as some others I’ve had. They’re pretty heavy on the cheese, and the sauce is a little too sweet for my taste.

The service was friendly, but could use a few tweaks. The staff were almost too attentive. I don’t really need my water refilled every time I take a sip, and at times it made the meal feel a little rushed; not ideal. Also, pay attention to where the water bottle is placed. Our waiter repeatedly put it right on the edge of the table next to our hands even though there was plenty of room elsewhere.

I do feel some sense of accomplishment that I managed not to knock it over.“

“This place is absolutely incredible! I ordered pizzas for a big family ranging from 12 to 90 years old and we were all ecstatic!

I love the way the ginger comes through in the tandoori. The plain cheese is like a little black dress; goes with everything and everyone loves it! The old guy kept saying, “This is delicious!” and the kids gobbled it up.

It was also lovely to meet the owner. This is going to a new family favorite for sure!!“

“This is by far the best pizza in SF and it’s not even close. Not only do they sell by the slice which for some reason is a rare thing in SF, the slices are incredible. Perfect taste, crust, everything. I had the spicy vodka and the mushroom slices, fantastic. 10/10 no notes“

“How am I the first person to review this place?? Laura is one of the best in the industry. For those that don't know, she was the right arm for Toni Gemignani, arguably the most famous pizza maker on the planet, through a whole bunch of his concepts since the beginning of both of their careers. She opened her own place in Berkeley and it's great to see her continuing to thrive at the level she did with Tony. Also the food is really good. The sleeper here might be the pasta which gets as much love as the pizzas.“

“Great food!! Service was fantastic. Consistently good!“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“Wow! Some pizza talent happening at this pizza parlor. Best SF pizza i have had. Fantastic crust. I had a gorgeous white pie with mushrooms and beautiful fresh basil and parmesan on top.
Geat find. Will recommend to all my friends.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“There's some slight confusion because ordering from "Slice of Hollywood" from Eat24, you get pizza from Pizza Nation, but that's no big deal. The food is GOOD. Best wings I've ever had delivered, and the pizza is really good as well. plenty of toppings, and so far I've only had great experiences with them. Great combo price deals too!“

“Chico’s Pizza completely knocks it out of the park. First off, the food is absolutely great—heavy, delicious pies and massive comfort food that never disappoints.
But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The staff is amazing—super welcoming, fast, and genuinely friendly every time you walk through the door.
And finally... oh my god, the restroom has a bidet. You do not expect that kind of next-level luxury at a neighborhood pizza spot, and honestly, it is an absolute game-changer. Great food, incredible people, and top-tier bathroom amenities. I love this place!“

“The pizza here is truly incredible. I’ve tried the Peking duck and it’s no gimmick. Super great flavor and very unique. Their regular slices are amazing as well. Moved here from nyc and think this place is definitely up to par with what I’ve had in New York. I’d say compared to Za, Golden Boys, and GIOIA pizza (in Berkeley), Outta Sight takes the cake. Go to Outta Sight and try the best pizza in The Bay“

“Great food with awesome service! Definitely a San Francisco go to restaurant.“

“Went out of our way to make sure we tried it and have zero regrets. Solid NY pizza and staff was super friendly.“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly servers and of course Delicious Italian pizza😋“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“This was a late dinner find. I walked in about an hour before closing ordered one of the traditional pizzas, and it was excellent. The service and staff were friendly and extra helpful. This is an excellent place and the traditional options“

“Great Pizza, great customer service!“

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“We enjoyed a terrific meal here pre-theater. Having just lived in Italy, we can attest to the authenticity of the menu. We had pizza for lunch, so we focused on the antipasti (heirloom tomato’s, meatballs, cheeses), which were all delish—fresh and flavorful. Delightful desserts as well and nice wine options. I am not going to lie: the neighborhood is a bit rough but the food is worth it.“

“We got the Rudy and garlic knots, pizza was fantastic however the garlic knots (4 knots for $9) were a little hard hence the 4 star on food. The staff was amazing and it was a chill aptmosphere with sports on the tv 😎 we would absolutely go back but would skip the garlic knots. Great job!“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“
