“My wife and I went out for dinner for our Anniversary. Very diverse menu...everything tasted great. Server was super pleasant and helpful. Noise level in the dining room was a little high since it looked to be a baseball team there with their families eating after their game! Will definitely go back and also try their take-out pizza side next time“

“Visit Dr Eric Solution Home“

“I thought I found my #1 pizza spot here upstate. This one tops them all, yup give me a nice hot greasy, dripping cheesy slice of pizza with a cold soda. I settled for orange soda since they didn't have Welches grape. 10 out of 10

This is real NEW YORK Style Pizza, even the restaurant setting gave back home.
Highly recommend“

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

“service was spot on and, appetizers were great. two out of 4 dinners were very good. My friend had clams and linguini, The clams still had sand in them so obviously not rinsed well. The person did end up getting sick unfortunately. The atmosphere is wonderful. Hopefully this was a one off and will have to try this place again.“

I will definitely be ordering again!!
Thank you Pauly's!!“

“The ultimate neighborhood restaurant. Amazing food, friendly staff, and generous wine pours! Can’t recommend highly enough for take out or dine-in. Try the Mario pizza! Order the wings crispy.“

“Visited for the first time this evening and we will be back !! We ordered a large chicken parm pizza and 10 medium wings. The pizza crust was 🤌🧑‍🍳😘! Thin and crispy and absolutely perfect. The sauce is on the sweet side and although I personally prefer a savory sauce (where the garlic and oregano punches you in the face) it was still very good. The wings were delicious as well. Super meaty and crisp. Also I appreciate that the chicken was not drowning in sloppy sauce, rather just enough to provide a perfect balanced flavor. Excellent job! Excited to have you in Halfmoon and will definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“😋Great food, as usual...Rack of Lamb was perfect as well as the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Scallops. Specialty drinks from the bar are superb and there are many draft beers to choose from including many from local craft breweries...😋“

“Had back to back closings today so had to treat myself to a little Dotty Lou’s BBQ in Galleria 7 Market - let me just say… OMG 👨‍🍳🐄 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve had their Pizza and Subs and both were delicious. High quality ingredients as well as very good service, definitely a go too when on Upper Union St“

“I found this place in a Google search for gluten free dining. My husband has Celiac's and has to be careful when dining out. We were so grateful for all the GF choices and the dedicated GF fryer. We had the cheese sticks and they were amazing!! Our server, Steven, was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious!! We will definitely be back. We happened to be in the area but it's definitely worth the hour drive for us to get there. If you're GF or not you definitely need to eat there!!“

“I’ve been going to pizza king since I can remember. I started going with my daughter who is now 32 was a baby & they were on State street. I followed him to Jay & it’s been years since I been there & stopped in today. The service is always great even though they don’t speak as fluent English as myself they still understand and are very efficient. The pizza was pretty much the same as it has always been which is GREAT ( I like my pizza a lil greasy so it was perfect) & the only thing I really didn’t like is the supply area where the napkins and lids and straws are kept. It was a bit dirty. I actually cleaned it up and wiped down the soda machine. ( I managed subway long ago & it’s a habit with ocd lol) and the tables weren’t wiped down when the customers that were in there left. They had a few customers but that’s stuff you have to keep up on. This isn’t to put them down at all but things have changed since John has passed def (my prayers to his family & friends & fellow patrons he was awesome). So get back to keeping supplies filled like straws of all sizes & napkins & wipe it down & no arguments from me and keep the bathrooms clean & with toilet paper too loll I’m sure it’s really rough in this location with all the transients however. Over all a 4 out of 5 stars and pizza is still great!!!“

“Wow! What a busy night! These should be nothing but compliments for the staff, in the front of the house, and behind the scenes. It seems the autumn light show down the road has had quite an impact. We went on a whim, disregarded the suggested reservations, but were able take seats right away at the end of the bar. Best of both worlds....A little bit of patio atmosphere and dining room comfort as the temperatures began to drop. And a glimpse at the extra hard work involved this evening. Praises to Jennifer as she greeted us, offered us something to drink, and advised us if we were ordering there would be an extended wait, (a large number of parties, and parties with a large number of people, seem to have arrived all at once). She said she would rather be up front with people than to have them disappointed with a wait. The expected delay was explained to every party that entered following us It was amazing to watch the coordinated efforts of the three waitresses working as a team. There was no time for idle chit chat while disregarding the needs of customers, but there was still time for smiles and laughter. Work behind the counter was fast, deliberate, efficient and the customers had no sense of stress or overwhelm. Each interaction I overheard was friendly and attentive. Another thing that I was impressed with, especially sitting at a bar, is that with an extended wait, those who were drinking, alcoholic beverages , were not pushed or encouraged to purchase more than usual to fill the time. Therefore the environment around us remained the same. Our meals came in the time projected, (mine a crock of french onion soup and my husband, a Roadhouse burger with onion rings.) Each item as tasty as we have come to expect. I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for an enjoyable evening.“

“Great experience. Cool vibes, great food and desserts. Friendly, extremely competent staff.“

“Brooke's Pizza is an absolute must-try for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. With their fresh, high-quality ingredients and mouthwatering menu items, Brooke's delivers an unparalleled dining experience that will leave you craving more.“

“Another EPIC DINNER! This place is AWESOME! Greg makes the best drink combinations. We haven’t had a bad meal or drink yet. And the staff is excellent as well. Thank you for another FABULOUS meal.“

“Not only is the food and service here incredible but I have a story. I lost a very special necklace it was in a box from the jewelry store ( tobe repaired) . The wonderful people who work for bella lucia found it saw the jewelry store and drove to that store and turned it in. They then traced it back to me! I had been going insane looking. There really are great people in this world. I plan on giving them lots more business and I can not thank them enough!“

“First time here and I will definitely be back. The two gentlemen working were good guys. The one guy working the front of the house had me laughing and had a good conversation with him. The pizza was delicious. I tried the tomato and eggplant and a mushroom slice. Thin crust perfect amount of cheese and sauce. The England Norway game was on. Quarter finals. The people coming in were nice and the atmosphere was definitely chill and welcoming. I will be back and definitely recommend this pizza.“

“Great food, fair prices, and awesome service. Definitely will return.“

“I ordered for the first time this evening and was not disappointed. Thank you.“

“I repeatedly ask myself why this place isn't rated higher. You get fantastic pizza with so many different and creative toppings, pies or slices. Favorites are the buffalo chicken, broccoli and chicken, CBR, vodka sauce and more....

Also the best buffalo wings you can find in Schenectady. Everyone who works there is always friendly. They work extremely hard and efficiently to get you hot pizza on time. Go-to spot for 10 years now! During the warmer weather it's a nice low-key place to sit down and eat with family.

Call day ahead for holidays like Halloween, as they have been swamped and aren't able to pick up the phone.“

“What a great place to have lunch on a cold winters day, Play by Play is a no jugement zone! hats off the owner and all of there help!“

“Paesans < Milano. Judgements in. The Fresh margarita slices and lots of basil got the top score in a comparison to paesans. Gf and I are trying all the pizza places around. Got a few slices from both. While I preferred the crust on Paesans. Gf liked Milano more. Paesans has a better selection of weird slices. Milano is more traditional.“

“The food was absolutely superb. The purposeful choice of nutritious and quality ingredients aligns with what we try to do within our own home. It’s near impossible to find that when we are going out to eat. The owner was a ray of sunshine and incredibly accommodating. We had 8 kids and 4 adults leaving with smiles and satisfied bellies. We’ll be back.💕“

“This is our top spot for pizza. The wings are also the best in the area. Nick our server was also amazing and made us feel right at home. He also suggested the Easter special drink which was on par. Amazing job by the bartender!! Never disappointed at this place.“

“I have been to Scotti's a few times now. The food and service is absolutely amazing. I felt like family from walking into the door and the entire time while eating. The owner even stopped by the table a few times to check on how everything was going.

The food is exactly what you hope it would be with so many Italian restaurants in the area it is still hard to find one that delivers, and now the search is over. Huge portions, tasty, great drink menu, and the wait staff was very knowledgable.

Left overs tasted great even in the microwave a few days later. Great spot for an amazing dinner or even a nice cocktail if you're in the area.“

“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 love the small white pizza! I ask for thin crust and they make it just the way I like it! The folks here are very friendly and take pride in making great food!“

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

“Favorite pizza and Garlic knots!“

“I could not love the gluten-free cheese pizza more than I did. I am so picky when it comes to gluten-free crust, but this one was everything good. No complaints. Cheese was fantastic. This is the first time that I have gone to the restaurant since they had new owners, and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and the pizza certainly did not disappoint. I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.“

“Just a quick flyby after dropping off a passenger in NH. Grabbed a beverage from the sweet bartender and sat in the corner for a break after driving for 12 hours…just what I needed. Tunes rocked - Creed, Shinedown, Sade, Skynyrd in that order. Minded my own business in the corner and wrote this review. I will be back.Back to Syracuse after my stretch.“

“I went for a party last night.Service was impeccable.The food was good.The wine was cold and the pizza will make me drive forty five minutes just to have it again.“

“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“

“I order delivery from Paesan's pizza almost every week. The pizza is consistently very good. I have ordered some dinners, but not often, and they were very good as well. The delivery has always been excellent, pizza is always hot. I have tried pretty much every pizza place in the Rotterdam/Schenectady area and if you're looking for a really good NY style pizza, Paesan's is a great option“
