“Food is always excellent and the service is wonderful! A huge thank you to Anna and everyone at the restaurant for helping to make our wedding day go so smoothly and special. The sunroom was beautifully set up for our ceremony and wedding reception. The antipasto appetizer platter was excellent and a big hit with all of my wedding guests as well as the dinner.“

“We loved the fresh homemade soups, delicious salads and pasta dishes. Servers are very attentive and ambiance inside and on the front patio is lovely. You know these owners care about their customers. We highly recommend going!“

“Really really great bruschetta, everything tasted fresh. Vodka sauce was so good, we ordered the penne 2 days in a row on vacation. They also sell Lion Farm Cookies at the checkout and those s’mores cookies were out of this world! The staff were all very friendly also. Will definitely be a regular stop on our yearly trip to town.“

“Hidden Gem Just Outside the Village – A Must-Visit! We thought we were just stopping in for a quick slice… and ended up with a full, unforgettable Italian meal! Just minutes from the hustle of downtown Lake George, Number 1 Pizza feels like stepping into someone’s home—if that someone happens to be an incredible Italian cook. The specials drew us in, and we’re so glad they did. Everything is homemade—from the rich, savory sauce to the perfectly seasoned meatballs. The lasagna was layered with love, and the manicotti, made with delicate crepes, was hands-down the best we’ve ever had. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. The owners are genuinely welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, and the food is the real star. This place isn’t just about pizza (though we hear that’s great too)—it’s a full-on Italian comfort food experience you won’t want to miss. If you’re in Lake George, make the short drive. We will be back!“
