    Antipasta with blue cheese dressing
    Kim L.

    Delivery order of a cheese pizza and antipasta -very quick and excellent quality. Good size for an 8 cut. We asked for crispy and it was. The antipasta was large and really full of meat and cheese. Also nice they include artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. Their blue cheese dressing is excellent.

    Great place for big slices of Manhattan style pizza! Just got a few slices for the road, took only a couple minute to get them nice and toasted. Will have to come back to order a fresh pie to give a more thorough review.

    Order and pick up counter

    On vacation in Schenectady NY and decided on DeMarco's Pizza because it was so close to our campground. In an older part of town, we parked on the street. A small pizza place, looks like the building was an old store at one time many decades ago. A carry out and if you want you can dine in at one of their tables. Very clean and organized considering its size. You check out the menu and order at the counter. Large cooler with ample choice's of beverages and 4 large already made pizzas, all different to choose from if you wanted a quick lunch or to take home a few slices. We placed our order with a very nice young woman at the counter. Sat at a table to wait for our dinner order to be brought to us. Steady stream of customers coming in to pick up their carry out orders and no doubt popular with the locals! Our Caesar salad was brought to us first with really good Italian bread and butter. That salad was huge and chilled and fresh with a great dressing and tasty croutons and ample shaved Parmesan cheese, it was delish, had some leftovers for home. Then that awesome, hot, delicious large Meat lovers cooked well down pizza arrived and it was piping hot and we wanted to jump in but had to wait for it to cool down a few minutes, then we dug in!! OMG, one of the best pizzas we have had the pleasure of eating, bar none!!! The pizza was delicious and the sauce and cheese perfect. Ample toppings and lots of cheese, we truly enjoyed our meal and had some to take home. Prices so reasonable for the Soda's, salad and that big pizza. You must try this place, highly recommend!! DeMarco's pizza has a cult following and my husband and I just joined the club! Debbie, Mich

    A friend of mine boasted of the wonderful Antipasto she got from Demarco's in Scotia. So, while I was in the neighborhood one day, I picked up one said salad to go. It was everything she said it was. A fresh bed of lettuce and greens topped with mounds of salami, ham, pepperoni and cheese along with red onions, peppers, pepperoncinis, and I can't remember the rest. It's not near me to visit regularly, but would if it were closer. Those who live near here I am sure they know of the great place they have.

    I ordered an American sub. I saw someone in the back carving meat, always a good sign. He comes up from with this massive sub that had to be 2lbs.. It was great but too big. Everything was fresh.

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. The dough is clearly pressed and the pizza (and wings) are just poor quality. The service was good enough and the overall cleanliness of the place appeared good. However, I can not recommend as a good place to go for a quality slice.

They offer online ordering, but it is slightly more with the service fee than ordering in person or over the phone. 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.

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.
