We didn't want to waste the food. So, we asked the server if it would be possible to get a half order of Fettuccine Alfredo. He told us it just didn't make much sense; a half order is only a dollar less than the full portion. BUT... if you add Alfredo sauce to your side of pasta on the Chicken Parm, they will charge you an additional $4.50, and BOOM: Chicken Parm and Fettuccine Alfredo. Marino's NEVER disappoints. Fresh, hot, and delicious. ALWAYS.

There is no doubt that they are experienced pizza makers who know their craft! --The crust is always crispy and golden not burned or under baked. --The pizza is light and airy not dense, not wet and slightly doughy under the toppings.

The other two pizzas were White Broccoli and Cheese. The outstanding crusts make these Sicilian style pizzas delicious. No wonder they have been in business for over 50 years. They are master pizza makers. The Chicken Parm and Ziti was also enjoyed. Service: A+ Prices: Reasonable and competitive.

The pizza is akin to the type of pizza you'd get from a birthday. You can tell when a pizza place uses fresh, high quality ingredients, and Poppies just doesn't.

This location has been the home to All In The Family Pizza (moved), Roman's Pizzeria & Deli, and Tasty Pizzeria. I stopped by Poppy's Pizzeria for a quick bite. The place was quite busy with the phone ringing. To make things quick, I got the 2 Pizza Slices with Topping & 20 oz drink for $8 plus tax. I chose a slice of pepperoni and a slice of sausage which were heated up in the oven. There is not much seating inside, but there is ample picnic table seating outside shared with Poppy's Ice Cream. The hot pizza slices were pretty good, which had a thin firm soft and chewy crust topped with the right amount of tomato sauce, meat toppings and melted cheese. I will have to try their calzone on the next visit.

Since we moved out of Clifton Park in 2016 my quest for a great local pizza place has run its…read morecourse and left me disappointed. I am looking for a location that sells a good variety of slices, has sit-down tables which you actually want to sit in (no rocking tables and dirty floors for me), and has friendly staff. We recently came here again while in the area and I rediscovered it. It is definitely the best... bar none. They expanded next door into a location previously used by H&R Block, and the increased dining space is wonderful. The variety of slices they had at lunch is staggering, and not just the usual suspects either. They had eggplant lasagna pizza; chicken Fra Diavolo pizza with hot peppers (yum!); mac & cheese pizza with or without Buffalo chicken; salad pizza; etc. All looked good, and my Fra Diavolo pizza has become my favorite here. Of note: their Hawaiian pizza is a white pizza (no sauce), which is extremely unusual, but they provided a cup of sauce on the side which restored balance to the galaxy. I should point out that every Italian restaurant has their own style of red sauce: some are too acidic, some are too salty, some are too heavy with dried herbs, and some don't use enough. This place has a sauce which is similar to my Grandmas (the best!), and it is salty and acidic and oily and delicious. I could see myself parking in a chair one afternoon with a good book and slowly trying slice after slice. Since we live only about 20 minutes away, I think I will need to make the trek up to here more often.

Alright... The BEAST has spoken. Let's break this one down honestly. Yesterday for lunch I grab a…read moreslice of 2 Coming in hot with a 3.5-star rating, this spot almost hits that elite tier--but there are a few things holding it back from greatness. First off, presentation and crust game? Solid. You're getting a good bake, decent structure, and slices that hold their own. Not floppy, not overly stiff right in that respectable middle lane. That's a win. Now let's talk about the sauce... because this is where things get mixed. Taking a look at some of the chatter on Yelp, there's a noticeable trend and I've got to agree. The sauce is inconsistent. Some bites hit with a nice tang and balance, but others feel either a little too sweet or lacking depth. It doesn't always punch through the cheese like you want it to. For a place trying to compete in the pizza game, sauce consistency is everything--and right now, it's just not elite. Cheese and toppings are good--not mind-blowing, but definitely respectable. No complaints there. Quality is there, just not standout.

The businesses are located a couple of blocks from the gateway marking the entrance to Schenectady's Little Italy. So much history, food and romance in this neighborhood. We had Sunday brunch at More Perreca's. The bakery is closed on Sunday but I got a Sausage Lettuce Tomato sandwich served on toasted Perreca's bread. It was so delish. The Italian sausage was served with lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic puree, mayo and side salad. Everything was so fresh. My $11 meal was reasonably priced. The garlic purée was amazing. They need to bottle it. I'd buy some. My friend had the Mac and cheese and an espresso martini. He loved both. Rachelle was our server. She was wonderful. Very helpful. She explained some of the menu to me because there were a number of Italian sausage dishes. The food was prepared quickly which was great because we were hungry. Rachelle came back later to check on us. I gave her a thumbs up and a smile while busily chewing a bite of sandwich. The restaurant is charming with nice tin ceilings and big windows to let the light in. There are many booths which makes it cozy. When we arrived most of the tables were full. Based on the chatter in the room it sounded as though a lot of friends had gathered at the restaurant to literally break bread over brunch. The menu offers a nice variety: from egg breakfasts, assorted salads to Italian classics. It was an all around yummy and enjoyable experience. I let Rachelle know that we'll be coming back.

We were impressed with the garlic knots (two per dinner) that are included instead of a blah roll. A small salad with tomato and pepperocini is also included with the dinner. All for $17.95! Kudos and compliments to the chef on the quality of the marinara sauce which is pleasantly chunky and flavorful, and it even has bits of fresh basil. It is superior to many sauces made/served in some Italian restaurants. It was so good that I am a little embarrassed to reveal that I ate one small container that was included with a spoon. I put another on top of my slice of broccoli white pizza. A negative in my opinion: there was too much melted mozzarella cheese on top of the dinner. I prefer less mozzarella. However, no one else noticed. I added two slices of broccoli white pizza from the case to my order along with a "broccoli ricotta foldover" for tomorrow. There were many other offerings available in the case if you had not preordered or wanted to pick your own variety of pizza slices, foldovers, or knots. The helpful server offered to heat it in oven, if wanted. The several sweets I saw in the case looked very tempting, but I resisted today. There were even chocolate covered small cannoli, cheesecake, and Italian cookies available! Please check out my photos of the case. We look forward to trying other items on the thoughtful menu such as the pizzas, Stromboli, soup and desserts. We will order again very soon. The owner put my order in my car without me even asking and even with other customers at the counter. He was pleasant and courteous.

But they outsource to a delivery service that is absolutely horrible and there isn't much recourse for their customers so I feel it should be known. We ordered a pizza last night. It was a cold rainy night. We did not request contactless delivery. We specifically said please ring the bell or text us upon arrival. The delivery service did neither of those things. We were sitting in our living room (next to the front door) awaiting its arrival. I decided to run out and grab soda and upon opening the outside porch door (We have a covered front porch) I almost stepped on our pizza. It was left on the outside concrete steps in the cold and rain for I don't know how long. I know it was long enough for it to be a cold, soggy pizza. We called the pizza shop who said they couldn't help us because it's an outside delivery service. We were provided the outside (slice.com) delivery services phone number. They wouldn't offer anything more than a 15% off refund and had the audacity to say "the pizza was delivered a half hour early." Be aware when/how you order. We will not be using I love NY again, again, not because their pizza is bad but because I will not deal with their delivery service.

After devouring four juicy, flavorful wings that I dipped into their excellent very chunky homemade blue cheese dressing, I understand the hype. Does the breading enhance the flavor and make the sauce coat the wings better? I believe so. The wings both drum and flat were meaty.

The Bourbon and PB & J were too sweet for my taste, but they were enjoyed by others. Boneless Wings were typical fare. Wow! Breaded Wings are minimum of Five Stars! Delicious! I did not like the COB (cheese in bottom) Pizza. The crust and COB were good, but the thick top layer of slightly sweet not savory red sauce was unappealing to me.

There's some buzz around their upside-down/COB-style pizza, and on paper, it should hit. But execution? That's where things fall apart. Crust comes out too thick and bready, lacking that crisp bite you expect. It feels more like filler than foundation. When you pick up a slice, it just doesn't have that structure or snap. Now the big issue the sauce. You guys know I'm a sauce snob. It leans heavy, overly sweet, and kind of flat. Instead of elevating the slice, it overwhelms it. You don't get that balanced, tangy tomato flavor just a one-note layer that sits on top of everything. Cheese and overall bake? Inconsistent. Some areas overcooked, others just sitting there. It doesn't come together as one cohesive slice. Even looking at Yelp (around that 3.3 range), it lines up this is a spot people want to like, but the consistency and quality just aren't there.
