“What a nice lunch, with a friend. Great selection of food and good service and servings. Oops, I thought I was doing a review elsewhere, why it was so short. Lmao Well, we ended up here after trying to go elsewhere for lunch, but the other spot was closed for vacation. I knew this would be a good alternative since I've been a few times. Everything I've had here has very good, from the wings to the wraps and years ago, a dinner. buffet. They have family to go meals like lots of restaurants are doing and I've tried it before for chicken parm night and it was very good. Our waitress/bartender was amazing and attentive. It helps that they weren't too overly busy. Occasionally, they have live music as well, also on the patio when the weather is nice.“
“I'm from Long Island, and the pizza there is epic and so much better than anywhere in the world. Bella Mae's pizza is THE best outside of that area! If you want something specific, they're so very accommodating. The garlic knots? Better than Long Island, NYC and anywhere.“
“This was our first Pizza from Brad’s Pizza. The new sign caught our eye. It was a great pizza! It seems larger than most larges. The toppings were fresh, the crust was nice, and the sauce has got a great zesty flavor. The price is more than reasonable and the owner and staff are super friendly. Give this place a shot, you won’t be disappointed!“
“My wife recently had to go gluten free, and we have been trying to find a good place to easily get breakfast for a date. We happened to find Birch Baked with a Google search and checked it out. We were not disappointed! We each got a breakfast sandwich and a sweet treat (she got a cookie and I got a cider donut). The food was awesome!! If I didn't know everything was gluten free, I would have had no idea. We are definitely coming back to try out other things like their pizza, hot and cold sandwiches, and the owner told us they are starting a dinner night Thursdays and Fridays with lots of great options. Top notch place filling a big need in the area.“
“We just ordered for the first time today… our order accidentally got messed up and the owner realized it and called us after it was delivered and they delivered the entire correct order without us even having to ask… he insisted they make it right! Great customer service and obviously the pizza was really great too!! Definitely recommend :)“
“We ordered a vegetarian 12" pizza. Came well packed and with a fair helping of all the necessary ingredients that make for a good pizza, plus the fact I had ordered an extra helping of black olives which went down very well. Wish they had included some ketchup too.“
“My family, friends, and I are constantly pleased with Nic's! The restaurant itself is immaculate. No exaggeration, probably the cleanest restaurant I have ever eaten in. I have dined at Nic's probably around 20 times, and I have never had a bad meal. All food is fresh and prepared daily right in the kitchen. We are fortunate to have a place like Nic's here in East Greenbush. The owners are hands-on, and it shows in every aspect of the business. Thanks again for a great meal.“
“Love this quirky yet cozy and super-cool spot. A great thing about Troy is the old buildings there have cool nook-like spaces such as this. The wood fired wings were really good - not straight down the middle typical Buffalo wings, but very good (with top notch bleu cheese.). “Medium” had just the right amount of heat for us. Pizza was very good too. Look forward to going back. Recommend.“
“Their chicken parm is so good!! I LOVE their pizza... so does my church..though there are pizzerias nearby. I brought a 24-cut supreme pizza to last year's superbowl party and everyone still raves about it. 8 people said I can't come unless I bring that pizza..... it's that good!“
“We ordered 1/2 trays of chicken parm, eggplant parm and more. Everything was perfecto and everyone loved the food. It was our first time using DeFazio's to cater and we will do it again for sure. Highly recommend and kudos to the chefs!!!! Also loved the mini cannolis and genets!!!“
“Cozy breakfast spot. Delicious breakfast. Family spot. Attentive and fast service. Amazing egg Benedict with corned beef hash.Parking: They have limited spots in front of the restaurant. You can park in the big parking lot across the street.“
“Very tasty ?.. had the meat lovers. Big slices and lots of toppings. If you want something even better try the steak stromboli. Loaded with steak, peppers, onions and cheese. The crust/dough was amazing too. Highly recommend.. 2 ?? up. Also the place is open late.“

“Had a friend recommend this place a while back and I've been a repeat customer ever since. Delivery time is always reasonable, and the food is always amazing. I usually go for just pizza and wings, but anytime I've branched out and tried something new I've never been disappointed. 5/5 definitely recommend!!“
“From the moment I called Al to discuss catering for an event I was planning I was impressed. He is extremely personable, answered all of my questions and had the quote over to me via text immediately after we spoke the first time and again when I later added mini cannolis to my order. He personally delivered the food to the venue and set up the chafing dishes. It was completely stress free. I returned them the next morning and he came out and got them from my car. Everyone raved about the food. I ordered chicken piccata, stuffed eggplant, rigatoni with sausage, roasted potatoes and green beans, along with delicious warm rolls with butter and of course the to die for cannolis. Multiple people asked where I got the delicious food. I was delighted to tell them to call Al Patricelli. It’s great food for a reasonable price. The big plus is the service! You can instantly tell that he cares about making your event special. It was a huge weight off my shoulders. Thanks so much to Al and his staff! Keep up the great work!“
“This is the best pizza in Troy. Hands down. Yeah you will hear other people say this place is better, that place is better...this is the best. I have been coming here for over 25 years and have never had a slice of pizza that wasn't good. I remember when it was a pizza and a soft drink for $1.50. Still not expensive and relatively decent prices in 2024.“
“I have gone here twice now for lunch. First time I got chicken bacon ranch pizza with garlic knots and the second time was the same but I got a beef patty instead of garlic knots. Everything has tasted amazing and the staff is friendly. My favorite place to go to lunch on my breaks.“
“the Elvis caught me off-guard because there is nothing on the outside that warns you of the sheer amount of memorabilia, they also sell vernors-which is as far as I know-very rare outside of Michigan. I think they should extend their opening hours though.“
“Neighborhood bar with great food... Great steak sandwich, Caesar salad and white pizza. Was a nice meeting partner to catch up with friends... Relaxing no rush atmosphere. I'll be back...Parking: Street parking... Was easy at lunch time the day before ?“
“The strategy to winning a case in court is to follow this simple procedure: 1-Tell the jury what you are going to do. 2. Do it. 3. Summarize and tell them how you did it. This same formula works to perfection at what has been called "Troy's best kept secret." Proudly displayed on the shirts that several of the staff and chef's wear two vital commitments are proclaimed. "Comfort Food" and "Famiglia.".So there is no pretense here. This is no place for nouvelle cuisine with its miniscule portions and esoteric dishes. Rather it is an embracing, warm establishment where the care and love that are emblematic of the southern Italian culture are continually in evidence. You would expect than the storied favorites to be served up in impressive portions where flavors are married into a tasteful delight. At Testo's you have come to the right place. Elsewhere on Yelp another reviewer will state that Testo's and Verdile's are equals, with strong proponents for each. I couldn't disagree more. In fact that is like saying "I can't quite choose between a 1974 Chevy Vega and a 1973 Porsche 911 for sale at the same price. HAH! Testo's blows their supposed rival right out of the water in terms of atmosphere, service, portion size, menu choices, TASTE of the food, dedication to quality, and diner satisfaction. One time there some months ago and I will never return to the Chevy Vega. One time at the Porsche 911 and I had to return the very next day for the Friday special, having been delighted with the Thursday special of lasagna. And oh, the sauce! No wonder they bottle and sell it right there at this friendly neighborhood restaurant. It is like my Father's and maternal Grandmother's, nurtured on either sides of Mt. Etna in Sicily. A great sauce is known by its texture and a taste that is a medley of flavors that let the tomatoes sing. I have had so many mediocre to terrible red sauces served at supposed Italian restaurants that I could scream, or cry, or give up on trying to recapture what MY "famiglia" did so well and so consistently. Thank God I at last discovered this treasure still imbedded in memories of the Sunday gatherings of Italian-Americans with one foot still in the old country. These are glorious, boisterous affairs of up to twenty or more relatives. Dino Martino (Dean Martin to non-Italians) singing the songs of Naples (I shed a silent tear at "Return to me oh my darling"), or that early sixties' favorite "Volare." Now to the food, the star of all great restaurants. The lasagna was as well prepared as the sauce, creamy and stuffed with the joy of high quality ricotta (I swear some Jersey Diners use cottage cheese--an "infamnia")! Having seen a photograph of a layered apple dessert on their website, I took courage in hand (because the lasagna portion was indeed generous). A brilliant move on my part. It came warm and beautiful with real whipped cream and several healthy scoops of vanilla ice cream to the side. Even the coffee is top notch, always fresh and deeply flavored. I can't leave out the wonderful staff that enhances the dining experience. From the sweetest and kindness young woman you are like to meet these days, Daisha, to Testo's own Talia Shire/Connie (from 'Godfather II era, please) Lisa who guides her young servers with impeccable knowledge and a steady hand of encouragement. Unlike Verdile's bored ancients doing a "Stepin Fetchit" routine (look it up), this crew throws themselves into their responsibilities with enthusiasm and efficiency., guaranteeing that their service will be the equal to the very fine cuisine. Prices are fair and in keeping with the investment in nothing but the best ingredients. "Skimping" is simply not in the vocabulary of the two sons who make their founding father proud. My friends, this is an immersive experience in the best of classic Italian-American food and culture. You will be like family, comforted by food and feeli“
“I ordered a gluten free dairy free vegetable pizza . It was a personnel size 12 inch pizza. It was very good I ate 1/2 of it. It’s so hard to find a really good pizza when you’re Gf & DF but this place Pizza My Love was fantastic. Also had the chicken wings. They were so very nice and crispy they way I like them. Thank you Pizza My Love. Love the name?❤️??“
“Hill Creek Tavern has a very inviting atmosphere, great staff and is Veteran owned and operated. The food is very good and we love coming here. In the summer months, one can enjoy sitting outdoors on the patio. I highly recommend you check them out!“
“Good pizza for a good price. I got 4 slices and 2 drinks for $16 (including tax). The pizza crust was really good (thin crust). The staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself is small but nice, it was clean and had some fun arcade games and a TV. Overall I would recommend it, I stopped here for lunch while I was in the area and I wasn't disappointed.“
“Won't go anywhere else for pizza on this side of the river, and I've tried them all. Best price and quality for pizza/wings, and their pasta dishes are excellent as well. Only complaint is the limited hours, I wish I could eat here everyday.Parking: 15 minute parking for about 5 cars in front of store if empty“
“Very good food depending on when you order and who is working. I’ve gotten food that’s incredible (which tells me how good they can do when they try) and then food that’s just ok but not what it should be. Their subs are always great, very good for the price.“
“Stopped by today for opening. Pizza is the best around. Must be if I drive from Pittsfield 45 min drive. Was a little disappointed in the wings. A little dry for me. I like more sauce. Last yr they were perfect. Maybe I should have ordered a little more sauce on the side.“
“Glad to have had the opportunity to visit this well known local spot while visiting the area. Unlike any pizza joint experience i’ve ever had. First we ordered at a counter before being escorted through the back of a narrow alley into a small garden seating area. nothing formal, all low key.The food came out quick and the service was friendly.the pizza itself was some of the best i’ve ever had. very doughy with unique flavor that almost melts in your mouth. there was a perfect amount of seasoning over fresh mozzarella cheese. I like the options of various doughs to try as well. We went with the standard dough to get the original flavor. Also tried the garlic bread and house made meatballs. The sauce for both was equally delicious. I hope to have the opportunity to re-visit this location to try some of the speciality pizza and pasta options. Very highly recommended ? ? ?“
“I'm giving a somewhat grudging 4 stars tonight. Great pizza, frustrating service.Waited outside for 25 minutes for the order to show as ready but it never did, so if you pick up just go inside and ask about it. The pizza itself was wonderful once I heated it back up.“
“We rented the upstairs dining room for my partner's birthday - 20 people. Maeve was great helping plan (and putting up with our shifting guest list and dietary needs), Chef Jake put together an excellent tasting menu and executed it so well. Service was great, the space was perfect for the party...the night could not have gone better!“
“I frequent this establishment and I love the staff and food here. I usually order for pick up and the timing is always right. If he say 15 minutes it will be ready in 15 minutes. I never have to wait for my food when I arrive. The sauce on the pizza is never to sweet, and the crust is always perfect. It's not too crowded, and there is seating available also.Parking: Huge parking lot.Kid-friendliness: No loud/offensive music.Wheelchair accessibility: More than enough space for wheelchair accessibility.“
“BEST STEAK AND CHEESE SUBS IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT!!! They bake their own perfectly crisp yet soft sub rolls and the perfect seasoning on it!! I’ve tried steak n cheese subs in every popular sub restaurant around and I promise you , the best is made here!!!“
“As an Albany resident, I take no pleasure in giving such a good review to a restaurant outside of Albany. But good pizza is good pizza. It is what it is.This establishment understands the art of the sauce ratio. So many times you have a pizza and they barely put any sauce. It is the blend of the sweetness of sauce and sharpness of the cheese that makes the pizza.I will have to give up another one of my subscriptions, because I have to work Cugino’s into my budget.I was told the owner also ran PJs pizza, which was in Albany. it is a very short drive over the bridge from where we live so this is my spot moving forward.“
“Ive been going to Labella’s for years know and the food has been consistently good and they service as well. After having a little hiccup in my food order I called to inform them of the issue not expecting anything to be done . They were very nice and professional about the issue and took care of it right away. This and the fact that you will get a good meal at a good price served by friendly servers is the reason I will recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Labella’s for hearing me out and fixing the issue.“
“One of my favorite comfort foods. Can't beat the prices. Not to mention. These guys are usually up and delivering earlier as well as later than most. With everything that you expect of a sub /pizza shop. I like that I can order online but don't have to choose to pay electronically. I can still finalize my order and choose to pay cash on delivery. I can't tell you how many times I will have cash on me but hate to place orders over the phone, I'm someone who has to look at the menu as I'm ordering. Or I'll forget what sounded good.Kid-friendliness: They understand picky eaters and always have a perfect solution for my kids.“
“This is certainly one of the best places to hang out as a student of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It can be either to grab a coffee, have a bite to eat, or just chill out with your friends. It is also a nice place to study or work.There are ample amenities for charging your laptop, playing some indoor games like table tennis, billiards, etc. There is also a pub upstairs and various meeting rooms. The Panera Bread here is also pretty good.“
“Today we tried Zia's burgers! This was a great burger! Done perfectly. We had a large order with people over so we had it delivered. The delivery person was on time, very helpful and nice. We had their Salad which was large, delicious and filling. The Chicken Parm sub was so large we have more for tomorrow. Looks like Pizza is not the only thing they do well! Feel free order from their extensive menu, it's all great! See the photo- I love the "Z" on the roll!“
“Used to work in the area and got spoiled with having Route Four pizza close by. Would enjoy at least twice a week. Now work is farther away AND when I do get Route Four Pizza its only once in a great while. Consistent, super flavorful, always cooked/baked fresh, friendly, kind, courteous, and absolutely love the crust on the pizza! So over all from the first time I've eaten there up until recently ordering there again. The food is ALWAYS top notch! Thank you thank you thank you!!“
“We spent three glorious days at June Farms. We occupied a Wellness Hut, which was absolutely exquisite in design, comfort, and beautiful privacy amongst the rolling hills and trees. It was much larger than we ever expected with at least 16ft. ceilings. We cooked each meal ourselves, took luxurious saunas, and enjoyed the perfect tub and open shower with amazing views of the snow kissed trees. I can go on further, but I will stop here to leave room for the amazing staff who were all absolutely lovely to us and obviously very very good at what they do. Sarah was outstanding, and knowledgeable and brought us so close to the cows and horses, and I will not soon forget her kindness. Also thanks to Joe who guided us on our sheep walk with a smile, and welcoming demeanor on our first day. Thank you to Michele, our Concierge, and Joshua. Great People. Magnificently clean, happy animals. It feels like a dream, we are blessed to have experienced together. We will be back.“
