Thank you so much Bri for making our night so amazing.“

Ate at the bar with Ashley (I think that’s what I remember) and enjoyed a happy hour pasta entree and the pasta special - lobster ravioli with shrimp and scallops. It was the best of its kind I’ve ever had. Wines were great. Service was great. The place was warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to Forno Bistro for helping to make our Valentine’s Day memorable and lovely.“

“A+++++ i got the restaurant week meal tonight, they give you a whole casserole dish of deliciously crispy arancini! The chicken portofino was three portions stacked with chicken, mushrooms, red peppers, cheese and prosciutto! (took 2 portions home) We were so full that our waitress kindly offered to package our bread pudding to go, three separate containers one for the pudding, one for the sauce and another for the fresh whipped cream. Can't beat the staff, so helpful and everyone's constantly waiting on people and the decor is so cute and homey! Check out Ripe Tomato this week or any time.“

“I must express my utmost satisfaction; this pizza was truly exceptional! I thoroughly enjoyed it. My father and I intend to return soon, though I do wish it were not a forty-minute journey. We savored both the sausage and broccoli rabe slice and the blackened chicken slice—it was indeed the finest pizza I have ever tasted! The ingredients were excellent, wholesome, and fresh, and it was cooked to perfection.“

“The fish and chips were so fresh and delicious! The specials are routinely great! I love the shrimp as well! Another family favorite is the French dip moon!“

“This was the first time I ordered a pizza from The House of Pizza. I knew before I ever tasted it that it was going to be delicious because restaurant was spotless, and the owners were polite and courteous. You knew the quality of the food was going to be at that high standard just because of those two things. I wasn't disappointed at all in fact I was quite impressed. I highly recommend trying The House of Pizza if you haven't already.“

Also the Breaded Zucchini Sticks were Excellent with Marina Sauce made there! The garlic knots are also a treat! Abdul was so kind to me, as I am disabled and use a walker. I will be back, the next time I am in Clifton Park.“

“I chose Bella Lucia for a catering event and received nothing but compliments and requests for where we got the food! It couldn’t have been better! We got more than enough food for a reasonable cost and it was delivered to the minute on time! Thank you!“

“We're relatively new to the area and this was my first order at PizzaTime. We ordered an 8 cut Party Pizza and an order of jumbo hot wings. The wings were crispy but not overcooked and tasty but not really hot. The pizza may have been the BEST pizza we have had in over a decade. Perfectly cooked and the sausage had a hint of smokey flavor. We absolutely will order here again.“

“Great service and very friendly. Pizza and cannoli were excellent.“

“Cannot understand why reviews for this pizza restaurant aren't much better. We order frequently from here and have never been disappointed, unlike other pizza places around ballston spa.“

“I tried the wings. They were cooked pretty well. I got the medium sauce. It was ok. There was not a lot of flavor or heat. The wings were pretty good quality, I did get one broken bone. There are only a couple seats. The staff was friendly. The place was fairly clean. I did not try the pizza.“

“I never write reviews, but I worked for a pizzeria for years (decades ago) and know how hard it is to provide consistent service and food. I have ordered from Primo dozens of times over the years (from both of their locations) because their food is delicious #1, but #2 because their food and service has been consistently excellent every single time!! Delicious pizza, pasta, wings, appetizers, desserts ... we've tried it all! Being consistent is the most important thing, and they've nailed it 100%. Menu items are always in stock and orders are always correct and on time. Kudos to the owners, employees, and delivery drivers!! I highly recommend them and felt I had to leave them a review.“

“Great service very helpful and polite!!!“

“Lived in Toga my whole life and only just ordered from West Ave tonight and they have the best tenders and hands down the best ranch i have ever had 😳🤤 Honestly you should sell that in bottles if its homemade! The West Ave Sampler is perfect to share for 2!“

“Been here a few times. Food has always been very good and service too. Nice semi fancy atmosphere. A tad pricey but not a bad value factoring in the atmosphere. Its a go to spot when we have an event and want a reservation and need to know its gonna be a solid dinner.“

“worst experience ever. orderd a pizza i usually go too the one in burnt hills on my way to work. the night of July 2 2025 they lied stole and told me id recieve anything order after the first was an hour late. 30 minutes after that the ego trip manager yelled argued called names and never repaid after promised. blaming me for a worker he said worked there 4 years. it was sent by them not me I guess Uber. The girl lied the manager yelled telling me im a liar after my first order was an hour late and cold. Never refunded just called names.Id never order from a place who even considers treating a person the way they did. they just didt want to come back out or refund. He just yelled at was my fault after my hour late delivery was cold and said we dont go there as of now. we will not correct your order. burnt hills they treat you so well. like family. I have many pizza places near me I loved giving them business but never ballston spa. never again. he hung up as he was got caught in a lie. if you don't do delivery howd I get my first cold hour late one ? He ends it with if our pizzas so good come get it like its crap pizza lol. hell of a manager“

“Super nice, speedy, and yummy food!“
