An end of an era. I am so sad to write this. We have been ordering from Pope's for the last 17 years. Tonight I ordered a small buffalo chicken and a large pepperoni. They were basically the same size. Both small.The buffalo chicken pizza was inedible. So incredibly spicy none of us could eat it. I had even looked up pictures from previous customers to see what it looked like and ours didnt resemble it. It was like the marinara was replaced with hot sauce. The pepperoni pizza was tough, smushed so it wasn't a circle and the sauce was not good.I called to mention it and got a little attitude from the order taker. She said a new person was in training. I understand that will happen - but wouldn't there be a little quality control to make sure what was leaving the restaurant was correct? She offered to put me on with the manager (wasn’t my idea) and when the manager picked up I could hear the order girl complaining in the background. ? The manager got on and said the same thing and offered a discount when I come back.Unfortunately, it was so unappealing in taste, looks and how it was handled - we wont be back.

Pizza and atmosphere quality went up since the staff change or maybe change of ownershipThe girls running it seem to be on the ball and have turned there quality and service around from how it was for yearsThe pizza is back to how it used to be 10 stars. The prices are almost $10 less than caputos and other pizza shops that serve greasy slop on crustHighly recommend

Goat pizza in Saratoga. I go all the way back to the Broadway days. Nothing has ever come close to touching it in Saratoga or the surrounding areas for that matter.

It's been several years since I've had the "BEST PIZZA EVER". It truly was and always will be my go to place for pizza. The staff was friendly and the music being played was to my liking. I was able to hear it without it being so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation.

They were out of a lot of stuff like eggplant and Alfredo on a Friday night. The food was ok. Service was good. Only take cash ATM on premises and only allowed 120 max to be taken out.

I don't like leaving terrible reviews, however, the good reviews are what enticed us to order from this place. This is by far the worst Italian food we have ever had. The lasagna was just a mess of sauce in the container and the chicken Parm tasted like it turned. Every single thing we ordered for takeout went in the trash within 5 minutes of it coming into our house.

I do not like leaving bad reviews especially for small businesses, but the food here is absolutely horrendous. I got the "zti in ricotta" and the tomato sauce was actually just tomato paste. Lacked a lot of flavour and had to throw it out. I hope I may have caught them at a wrong timing, because I highly wish on small businesses like such success. Young lady at the front was really nice though hence the 2 stars
Everything there was absolutely perfect.Parking: Plenty of parking

Absolutely hands down the best pizza around!We were looking for a light snack before heading to a concert at SPAC and 3 of us shared a small pie. The pizza here is amazing. If you like more cheese though, definitely order it with extra cheese. I love their sauce too; a little sweet and not as "herby" as some places. Perfect crust too.Highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for some great NY style pizza.
