23 Best Pizza Restaurants in Poughkeepsie

“Always a friendly neighbourhood visit. And the food, delicious and creative. One of a handful of great spots to dine out in Poughkeepsie NY. A Definite Recommend“

“Touch of Naples is by far the best pizza in the Hudson Valley. Anyone who thinks differently is unfortunately wrong. I’ve been going here for 38 years and the quality has always been unbelievable. Their old style Sicilian and grandma pizzas are amazing. The giant slice is a great value. And the selection of different slices at the counter is fantastic. Awesome staff very friendly reasonable prices. They don’t deliver, you know why… They’ve never needed to. It’s worth going there.“

“Amazing food, always fresh and QUALITY ingredients. Gina and Steve are amazing and treat you like family. Great pizzas, sandwiches, dinners and MORE.. perfect to dine in or take out.. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed. Try the Chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe sandwich or the penne ala Vodka Pizza.. you cant go wrong with anything“

“The best pizza.“

“Best pizza I have ever had!! Friendly staff great atmosphere“

“First time here and was extremely satisfied. EVERYTHING was superb and more than enough for the 3 of us that we had to bring the remainder home. The owners are warm, friendly and humbly appreciative of our praises. Can't wait to come back!“

“I cannot recommend Mel's enough! I purchased the Holiday Catering Special for a work party and the food was amazing! I added a 1/2 tray of eggplant rollatini and also tortellini primavera and this easily fed 30 people (with leftovers!) My co-workers were raving about the food and I easily said it was all from Mel's. This special catering combo is the perfect mix for any party!!! (I will also add I ordered on Monday morning and picked up Tuesday evening! Quick service as well!!!) 👏“

“awesome pizza!! Def recommend!“

“Wide variety of specialty pizza’s!“

“Finally tried this place after passing by many times on our trips to Eastdale. The food was fantastic! The menu is a bit limited to 2 appetizers, a handful of salads, and a good variety of 9 pizzas, with a great variety of toppings offered. Yes, it's pricey. You don't go to Eastdale expecting a bargain. When I looked online prior to visiting, it appeared that they also offered some dessert, but I also had absolutely no room left for dessert. Drinks are basic beers/wines and sodas. I would skip the rose next time. I paid $11 for a single glass when a bottle retails for $13.99, but that's true of any restaurant. We started out with the cheese/olives/meat and jam app, which was really plentiful for 3 people. For pizzas, we had the grana Padano pie and added pepperoni and the Hot Honey pie. Both pies were absolutely delicious and were more than enough for two adults and one child. Before ordering, we asked how big the pies are, so they gave us a good estimate. One pie would not have been enough. The pies are bigger than personal sized pizzas, but they are not as large as a typical carry out pizzeria pizza. Overall, the food was really delicious, and the pizzas were perfectly cooked, and the hot honey pie was absolutely fantastic. It was a great mix from the salty meat, the sweet/hot honey and the roasted garlic. When we are in the mood for sit down, slightly more upscale pizza, we will definitely return.“

“Nice! I enjoyed a regular cheese slice plus a meatball slice. The sauce, cheese, & topping consistency was impeccable, though I found the crust to be a little overly moist & doughy toward the outside of the slice. I can also appreciate that they offer breakfast & Mexican dishes, so I'll have to try to get back!“

“Not one to typically leave reviews but this place really deserves it! Long story short this was my second time ordering there and when I arrived they accidentally misheard my order over the phone (most likely my fault due to poor service) and the gentleman I spoke to was very cool, professional and polite! He immediately sprung into action to make the correct order which didn’t take long…Food is 10/10 just like the first time and I would highly recommend anyone to check it out if you haven’t already!!“

“So I have had celiac disease for 20 years now and my sister ordered Pizza for our family yesterday. I got a Gluten Free white Pizza with broccoli and it was the best GF pizza I have ever had!!! Can’t wait to visit her again and order pizza?!“

“Had a great time with family at Kokopelli’s today! The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal!“

“Great tasting food and great service“

“Delicious food, clean restaurant, and friendly staff.“

“Mike and Joe’s is great for families. They have diversified menu to please everyone. When we have a family dinner, if not at home, we choose Mike and Joe’s.“

“5 stars ***** this place is amazing! Sal and Brian know what they are doing some of the nicest people you will meet! top notch pizza !“

“The girls that took my order today were so much and such a great help! My food came out quick and it was delish!! I got a Chicken Bacon Ranch slice along with garlic knots and they were GREAT. I come here about once a week during my shopping sprees!“

“Giuseppe and his crew do an absolutely fantastic job at Giacomo's! Giuseppe and Giacomo developed all of the speciality rectangular pizzas when they they first opened and boy are they all great. Me and my family have been ordering from Giacomo's for years and have absolutely no reason to stop. My personal favorite is the buffalo chicken specialty pizza, but that's just me.“

“Best place on campus for a proper meal. Quality varies a lot depending on who's cooking, but there are some things that are very consistent.Most things can be ordered using the meal plans pick 3 option (for those who don't know that's using a meal swipe for one main item, a drink, and a side).Wait time will be different depending on what you order. Usually burgers are very fast, pizza takes a bit longer, and Rossie's or noodles takes the longest (during busy times over 30 minutes).Speaking of Rossie's, if you've had the real deal than don't bother getting it here. This is still Sodexo making it, they just have access to the same ingredients and recipes. Also they're missing roast beef so you can't get the best thing Rossie's has anyways.Very strong vegetarian options if you don't mind eating the same thing a lot. The tofu for the noodles isn't anything to write home about and sometimes you'll need to break it up and let it warm up in the broth for a bit, but it's still pretty dang good.Top choices would be:1. Noodles, or oodles as they call it for some unknown reason.2. Pizza. Just make sure one of the good people is there to make it.3. Burger, they're not great but you'll get the same thing every time4. Rossie's. It's still pretty good, just not close to the real thing.“

“Jason Patrick’s is always a good choice! Friendly staff and very comfortable.“

“Joe Cristiano’s Pizza is easily one of the standout pizza spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place has the kind of neighborhood feel that makes people keep coming back. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a classic local pizzeria.

The pizza itself is excellent. The crust has that perfect balance—crispy on the outside with just the right amount of chew inside. The sauce is flavorful without overpowering the pizza, and the cheese and toppings are always fresh and generous. Every slice comes out hot and cooked just right. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a long time and take pride in making great pizza.

The menu also offers plenty of options beyond just pizza, which makes it a great place whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a full meal. Everything is prepared quickly and consistently.

Service was just as good as the food. The staff were friendly, efficient, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It’s always nice to see a place where the team clearly cares about their customers.

Joe Cristiano’s Pizza delivers exactly what you want in a great pizzeria—excellent food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the area and craving a really good slice, this place is absolutely worth stopping in.“
