“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.“
“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.“
“Moved here from NYC and have finally found good pizza and real Italian food. The pizza has a delicious crust, not crispy enough, but properly proofed and the right amount of gluten. The sauce flavor is spot on. It is excellent pizza. The house salad is huge, fresh and has a nice mix of lettuces. We had the red pepper pesto and the pesto over linguini. The pasta is made fresh in-house, and they know how to make good sauces. The hangover cake is fantastic, it's a booze soaked pound cake and it it the perfect way to end a great meal. There is very limited seating, so call ahead to reserve a table. It reminds me of the places I grew up with in NYC.“
“My husband and I tried this hidden gem. We were surprised at how great the food was. We got a large tossed salad with Italian, boneless garlic parm wings with blue cheese (which is homemade and SO tasty), and a square pizza!! The wings were some of the best boneless we have ever had and the pizza was light and fluffy. Definitely recommend trying here! Also, Jessica at the front counter is so sweet ☺️“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“I ordered to go this time .. and it was good, but sadly it wasn't as good as it normally has been. Still love this place! The meatballs are the best!Kid-friendliness: My daughter has dined in there with us before and she personally loved it. She said she likes the lighting and all the people were so nice to her.“
“CLEAN KITCHEN. LIKE CLEAN, CLEAN. New owners really whipped this place into shape. Very impressive. Courteous, staff, great menu, great prices. Overall impeccable execution.Kid-friendliness: More than accommodating with my kids, staff seemed genuinely excited and acknowledged my 1 1/2 year old multiple times. Made him smile all night! Thanks Hill Creek!“
“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!“
“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.“
“I have never eaten shawarma until I came to this place and I am proud to report that is now one of my top 10 favorite foods, hands down :-) I think that pretty much says it all. The place was totally chaotic behind the counter but the gentleman that was waiting on us stayed so calm and gave us his undivided attention and we were not familiar with the place so it was taking us a while. He genuinely did not seem to mind nor did he feel the need to rush us or abandon us for taking too long. The busyness going on behind him was impressively chaotic and organized at the same time. We can tell they cater to a lot of college kids and they must make a killing because they do a darn good job at what they do. This is definitely the place to choose if you want some relatively quick and affordable takeout and amazing quality, which can sometimes be a rare find. Well done!“
“We went here tonight to celebrate my brother's birthday- his choice. The place is very small but it's comfortable. It was a busy Friday night but not once was the crowd overbearing or loud. It felt like we were all just hanging out...chilling. It was actually really awesome how it felt like that. The bartender welcomed us when he realized we were waiting for a table and the waitresses were all very genuinely friendly. Just felt like a nice little family spot you know? The food was amazing and tasted homemade and not the typical "frozen food microwaved or heated up" you find at restaurants. The pasta fagioli was to die for. So much flavor and not heavy at all. The pizza crust we had was a bit dry but the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I loved our waitress. She was truly a wonderful young lady and I'm sorry I forgot her name. Never did we feel rushed or pressured. What a new hidden gem. Thank you for a relaxing night!Parking: parking was a bit of a hassle but people snuck over to the mechanic next door or in back to park!Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant doesn't have stairs to the entrance (has handicapped parking spaces as well!) and can most likely fit a wheelchair or walker through the door- but just call ahead of time to make sure!“
“I stopped on a whim, and I am so glad that I did. I purchased the 2 specialty slices and soda deal and a small order of garlic knots to go. The garlic knots were so yummy smelling that I ate 2 in the car on the way home!The pizza was split between my mom and I and the rest of the garlic knots are in the refrigerator (in double zip lock bags because of their potency!) and I plan to have them with soup tonight.The service was very nice and there were a few other people eating in and a couple other take outs while I was there.I would stop again.“
“Small town spot, we stopped here for an early dinner and the food was great! We just moved to the area from Buffalo so it's nice to find a Bills backer so close to our new home, will definitely be watching a few games here when the season starts!“
“I called and ordered food, not even thinking that I might not be in their standard delivery area, but they made it work for me. They told me it'd be 45 minutes to an hour, but the driver had our food at the door in 40 minutes. The food is always good and mom loved not cooking on a Friday night! I was just looking at the beautiful cakes and cookies and cookie decorating sets on Facebook- I will need to make an order for our next birthday.“
“As someone who was diagnosed with celiac disease in my late 20’s it has been an adjustment, and traveling is nearly impossible it feels like. I work in healthcare and knowing I would be in the Albany area for a weekend I wanted to decrease my time in the kitchen, and try whatever food I could safely consume. I have little trust in reviewed gluten free restaurants or bakeries, due to not everyone being as sensitive as myself. When I came across this via the find me gluten free app, I know I had to try it. From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left and ate my sandwich I was amazed. The owner was kind and knowledgeable. I felt safe eating anything on the menu, and I honestly did not even know what to get! The menu had many items that I have not been able to eat in years since being diagnosed, but I went with the chicken Parmesan sandwich and got a pizza for later. Let me tell you, this was the best chicken Parmesan sandwich I have ever had, and this includes back to the time I was consuming gluten. It was fresh, had so much flavor, and the roll that it was on, TO DIE FOR! Everything was made fresh, and did not taste gluten free, made me a little scared, since most gluten free items are not the greatest tasting. The little donut holes are amazing! I can’t even describe them, they are soft and light like a fried dough, but the cinnamon on them, they just melt in your mouth without making you feel guilty for eating a donut! I could go on and on, this place is a must try, and I will be going back!Dietary restrictions: Dedicated gluten free facility. Does not utilize almond substitutes, and is aware of other food allergies. Very knowledgeable. I have celiac and a tree nut allergy.“
