45 Best Pizza Restaurants in Schenectady

“Went here on Thursday September 26 2024 for dinner and drinks with two of my friends and the food was good and the staff were kind but only problem was that the drinks were long after we ordered them“

“Come to originals the best pizza and dinners in the area great subs and hot sandwiches The ladies are great .I am the origanal Great Sandcci“

“Got a sub , wings and mozz sticks- all great !!! Will be back !“

“We ordered the Italian Buffet from their catering menu for a work event, and it was a hit! The portion size was way more than enough, and the food was delicious! Everyone was raving about the bread especially. They let us borrow the equipment to keep the food warm, which was very appreciated. I cannot give this resturant enough praise. You can tell they care about what they do and their customers. Thank you again!“

“I have been to the Ritz on multiple occasions and have always had great service and a great meal. Whether sitting at the bar or having a meal with the family at a table, they never disappoint. Anthony the owner cares about his patrons and makes sure everything was tip top.“

“Amazing food esp the potato wedges!!! Workers are so nice as well“

“The sauce on the pizza is excellent. I probably should've gotten extra sauce. The crust on the edge is a bit larger than I'm used to but it was still very good. If I had any complaint, it would be that there wasn't enough cheese and sauce... but next time I'll know to put in for extra sauce and cheese. Still, great sauce regardless. Not the very sweet marinara or runny sauce I've had elsewhere... just a nice thick dark sauce... just the way I like.“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“We recently had pizza, chicken tenders and antipasta from Inferno Pizzeria. (Lishakill Road). The pizza was fresh and so delicious; the chicken tenders were moist and tender; and the antipasta was over the top. Enjoyed everything.....can't wait to go back.“

“Slight edit to my*comments*, below.
This has just become one of my TOP 5 Pizzerias in the Capital Region. Was looking for a real Italian NY slice. My job sometimes brings me up to the Wolf Rd area and this place is just a short hop from there (and the pizza around Wolf Rd, for the most part, is mediocre at best).

Had three slices, bottom crust was crisp & they get the dough right, was about perfectly crispy & chewy, and NOT like the "spongey upstate pizza" (my term!) that I see too much of in our region. One of my slices was their specialty Meatball Parm pizza - this was remarkable, the meatballs were fabulous, the pie was cooked perfectly, nicely topped. I'll plan to bring a pie home in the near future.

*Change* - edited comment: I originally noted & thought their special pizza slices were perhaps underpriced a bit. After another visit, I realized that all of their counter slices are on a 16" pie, not an 18", so the prices are probably just about right. Tried a white veggie slice this time and the taste was exquisite, nice garlic flavor and roasted veggie pop. Again, outstanding quality of the slices.*

The staff (owners?) were super friendly, very service oriented. It really felt like they loved doing what they do and put a lot of love into their cooking. I'm looking forward to trying other menu items when nearby at work again. Though I'm not far, I do wish I lived a little closer!“

“Food is awesome. Remo the owner/manager is always pleasant , along with wife Morgan and staff.. They always greet you with a smile. There chef salad, turkry and tuna subs and fries“

“I'm giving this place 5 stars because the pizza was so good. The hubby and I both liked our slices. I got a broccoli deep dish slice and he got a thin sausage and peppers slice. They had a nice variety of slices ready to go. There were two big negatives though. One, there was no air conditioning, which, in a place with pizza ovens firing, made it extremely uncomfortable to eat there. And two, no free refills on the fountain drinks.

Parking: There is paid street parking but also a free parking lot behind the restaurant.“

“FOOD IS OUTSTANDING....VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE..FROM THE OWNER ..ROSARIO TO THE COUNTER LADY MICHELLE!“

“When you want a custom pizza, fresh tastings, clean atmosphere, fast service, respectful staff, can't beat prices, something for the whole family. Then call or order online“

“Delicious pizza with plenty of selections. The sweet honey bbq chicken I highly recommend.
The owner is a kind and funny guy.
Place has seating indoors and an outdoor patio with tables, chairs and umbrellas.
Definitely the spot to stop in ?“

“AMAZING STROMBOLI!! Friendly Staff!! Perfect location, right next door to the truckstop! I WILL BE EATING HERE, AGAIN!!! Thanks!“

“very good food nice people love this place to eat“

“Very good food! Ordered pizza, quesadillas, subs. The pizza is one of the best in this area! Easy ordering online and fast delivery. Highly recommend!“

“Little Caesars on State Street in Schenectady New York is a really great place to go if you are looking for great pizza at affordable prices me and my family were able to get a few pies at a great price and able to walk in and walk out which is even better being that we're always in a rush and we have a lot to do so if you need to go see them they're located on State Street in Schenectady New York atmosphere is great people are very courtesy and they are very fast at what they do Thank you Little Caesar see you again

Parking: There are parking spaces but some are limits not a big parking lot but it's fast service so you're not waiting and there's not always a lot of weight for a spot

Kid-friendliness: Yes kid friendly very welcoming and very authentic they're very friendly with the kids which is awesome“

“friendly staff amazing food good drinks good time“

“This place is a hidden gem! I've never had anything bad from here. My personal favorite are the quesadillas. They are generous in size and absolutely delicious! I've tried several different ones and they are all flavorful and delicious 😋.“

“We ordered take out. The pizza was good light fluffy crust. The mild wings were good. The sauce is sweet and spicy. I personally like that.

Parking: They only have a few spots and being right on state street it can be hard to get in and out“

“We had a beautiful table for our group of 8 people. We dined in the lounge that offers the full menu, our server Cassondra was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested the palazzo greens. We ate every bit! We had a great experience and look forward to coming back to celebrate the one year anniversary on Father’s Day!“

“Their calzones look as artisan as the pictures make them out to be and they taste as good as they look. Got a slice of cheesecake for the wife and she really enjoyed it. Lastly, I had a slice of cheese pizza to go that was pretty good. I'll update this when I get a whole pie and/or some wings.“

“I ordered a chicken Caesar salad, fried ravioli and fried dough for me and my husband tonight.! The chicken was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The seasoning on this chicken was very flavorful and I never had a salad where it was so seasoned. Ravioli was delicious and hot as well. And of course the fried dough was a nice touch! Definitely will be ordering again! Super soon! I can't stop talking about that chicken ☺☺“

“Came across Scottie's by accident, I'm glad we did, great atmosphere our server was top notch, the food was exceptional, I had the lasagna my wife had ravioli Isabella the owner came out to us boxed our leftovers and made pleasant conversation, we took 2 deserts home with us, lemon cake and cheesecake . Great place! I will be returning.“

“Favorite pizza and Garlic knots!“

“just ordered for the first time and it was delicious. I've been looking for some real NYC/NJ pizza. this was it. absolutely amazing. will be ordering again for sure“

“Best pizza around! Just try it and find out!“

“When it’s time for pizza & wings this is the choice of my grandchildren who are picky eaters . The boneless wings are delicious & the portion was generous . The pizza was cooked perfectly including the pepperoni , it was crispy ( just the way we like it ) not chewy . I ordered an 8 cut , the size was big just the right amount of cheese & the crust was crispy . The staff was friendly & my order was ready within 30 minutes . While paying I noticed garlic knots that looked so good . I purchased one & ate it on the way home . It was very good , only thing it was suppose to come with a marinara sauce but she didn’t put in my bag . There is plenty of seating if you want to eat inside . It was clean & has plenty of parking . I recommend

Parking: Parking is convenient & close to the door.“

“Great pizza & customer service ! Flavorful, thin and not too greasy (just the right amount)! Garlic knots are also super tasty! Has a small mishap where online order was delivered 3 hours before requested time, and owner happily made us a new pie to have delivered at the correct time. Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza options

Parking: Parking lot shared with gas station“

“Been going there several times yrs now. Always great take out. Dined in a few over yrs. Pizza is outstanding as the wings. When my out of State family comes up they want Johnny C’s pizza and wings. Never disappointed.“

“DELICIOUS PIZZA.... we got the SUPREME.... DELICIOUS Boneless Wings .... GREAT PEOPLE!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Really good food, i love the pizza and chicken wings, Nice place i really recommend it!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious freshly made, service was incredible, if you are ever in Schenectady definitely try this place“

“the outdoor patio is huge. love the space“

“I love the food,atmosphere and people! Great place to relax and have some great food and drinks!“

“Food here used to be good but has been slipping the last several times. What's so difficult about the 'crispy' part of a wing order or the 'extra hot' part of a Utica green order? Overpriced and definitely not worth it. Won't be coming back here for a very long time, hopefully things will have changed by then. Good thing they are closed on Sundays, maybe they should close a few more days too.“

“Best pizza in town, hands down.“

“I understand things happen, but I opted for text alerts and contact-free delivery. I was about to call for a status after waiting an hour for a text stating my food was delivered, and decided to check outside, and there was my ice cold dinner. I'm sad. I was expecting a "delivered" message since I recieved an alert that it was out for delivery.“

“My son and I eat from here couple times a week the owner and whole crew awesome people...The Food never had no complaints food is always clean delicious and very good I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone ..Thank you union Pizza..“

“This is the most consistent restaurant I order from. I order from here frequently for delivery, their pizza, sandwiches, everything is always great and fresh. Surprised seeing the reviews on here, so had to leave one right before I order again lol.“

“I have been getting "take out" from Home Style for many years. We love the home cooked Lasagna and Eggplant Parmesan served with plenty of sauce and their own Italian bread rolls baked in their brick oven. We have served small luncheons through their catering service. That always is a hit. One day a few years ago I discovered I was just crazy over Home Style's Chicken Cacciatore. I always order a half tray so that I can put some in my freezer. Every winter we take individual servings of cacciatore with us when we go skiing and stay at a B & B. We can just heat it up in their microwave. It always comes with plenty of rolls or a loaf of Italian bread.

Vegetarian options: I only needed vegetarian option once for my granddaughter so I asked for suggestions. All I remember is that she did not go hungry. It was over 3 years ago and do not remember exactly what I ordered for her. Probably EggPlant Parm. and of course we had a Salad.

Parking: There is a medium size parking lot where people getting take-out are always coming and going. There is free street parking. Since their new restaurant opened, it gets crowded on popular nights.

Kid-friendliness: I always see Mac and Cheese on the menu and on the steam table and that is what young kids usually like. Of course there are many items that are kid friendly. My grand-kids are both in their 20's and so it has been awhile since I had to feed them. Oh, of course they have every pizza imaginable. When I use to have a kids pool party I would always order a bunch of pizzas.“

“Our family stopped by this location tonight for dinner and had a great time. Many others had the same idea, as it was very busy. It really impressed us how well the staff maintained their composure and professionalism no matter how hectic it became. They did a fantastic job taking orders and preparing meals. In particular, John was juggling many tasks efficiently and while with a smile on his face and very pleasant demeanor. Kudos to your team!“

“I went there out of curiosity, but it gave me a great feeling. I recommend everyone to try it!“
