My family always gets pizza from here. This is by far the best place to get pizza. We always get what we want in the order, nothing is forgotten. I personally have never been inside the store, so I do not know what it is like but I imagine it is as good as the pizza. I could write an argument essay on how great this pizza is. Top-tier! read more

The dude that was working at this location on 4/4 manning the oven needs to work on his customer service skills. What an assho!e. I asked for a small container for cheese and spice for pizza and wanted to charge me for it. I've never had to pay at the Latham location. He responded and said I could just add it to the pizza when it was ready and I replied not everyone likes the same amount. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service and for that matter the pizza. It was overpriced and lacked cheese. I wish i saw all of the other negative reviews before spending $46 for a pizza and 10 wings. I brought my concern that there was minute amount of cheese to LORENZO, who states he is the manager (and son of the owner who he supposedly consulted) LORENZO refused any kind of mediation or even a replacement pizza for the ruined dinner. DO NOT TRUST YOUR DINNER PLANS to them. Terrible business!!! read more

Very disappointed. I ordered eggplant parm. It had 2 very thin slices of eggplant on each half of the hero. More cheese and bread. Really not even that good. read more

Best customer service I've ever had. Great food very clean . the costumer service is so nice.

Great food service fast ambiance clean and inviting. I ordered buffalo chicken salad & mild buffalo wings. What a great meal, I recommend all to go to either locations no difference with quality of food or friendliest of staff. read more

Would give them ZERO stars, if I could! This business has some of the worst customer service I have ever had!! If you are NOT a regular, then forget about ANY type of service. There are always like 20 people standing behind the counter and they ALL ignore you! Their pizza is flavorless, greasy and over priced. They lost my business, by the way I was treated the last time I was in to pick up a pizza. Total attitude!!! I would just skip this place. read more

Paesans is a good choice if you are in the area. The crust is chewy and soft, and on my margharita the sauce/cheese ratio was just right. It wasn't overly greasy and you can still fold it in half without a bunch of oil dripping down the middle. I didn't feel like the meat lover's pizza had as much meat as a meat lover's ought to have, so kinda skimpy on the toppings. The sausage and pepperoni only swim in cheese grease and are neither very spicy nor substantial, i.e. thinly sliced. Mostly they serve as just decoration. But the pizza is still is tasty though, since the cheese/sauce/crust combination is good. They deliver to local businesses which make them our first choice for work pizza parties. I knocked off a star because my first time trying Paesans was not good: the crust was overly tough and thick and the sauce was non-existant. So very dry. I regretted the calories consumed. This second time was a ton better but I feel this means their quality is inconsistent. read more

The lady at the counter was plain rude and cold. Her attitude showed I was wasting her time ordering from them. I really can't see how they say their Brooklyn's finest. The pizza was dry, lacked any flavor or cheese. Everything looked skimped out on. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was dry as hell. Again lacking cheese and sauce. Only thing good from my order was the fried ravioli. They were cooked to perfection and had a lot of flavor. After seeing them on tv for donating to our military I came here to try them out. I'm not sure if it's just this location. You'd be better off going to Brooklyn and getting some real deal pizza. read more

Pricey for product. Hot subs good. Pizza consistent. Get the garlic parm wings. Good stuff.

Terrible customer service and the eye rolling from the two white workers was unnecessary. I understand racist people but for the sake of your business, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Nasty attitudes . If your black don't order form here. read more

will never do business again. the Albany ny store messed up one of my pizzas and refused to make good on it

I Ordered a Hawai Pizza with wings and mozzarella sticks and everything was great. I will definitely be eating here every time we come from Plattsburgh, NY. Actually everything was amazing read more

Great staff and newly remodeled!!! My first time at Paesans and I was very very happy! Got two slices to go they were big and really yummy. Heir slices are all mostly $2.89 plus tax. This place is huge. I work close by to the Albany location, this store is much cleaner, larger and more friendly. I will drive out of the way to come back here for more pizza!! They take credit card which was a plus and honor coupons unlike the Albany location who seemed clueless every trims email specials went out. Thanks for a good first experience! Delicious pizza, friendly people, and affordable! read more

So the staff is nice, delivery efficient. But I have to say the pizza is so weird. The cheese is weirdly milky, it's a really weird consistency, and the sauce is pretty flavorless. It's really weird. I do not recommend getting pizza from here until they dramatically re-work their recipe. BUT the garlic wings are pretty good. They are very well-seasoned and the skin is perfectly crispy. Some of the wings can be really fatty, which I'm not a fan of, but that may be personal preference. So maybe just skip the pizza and get some wings. read more

Excited to take kids to this location, which I used to think was the best. Used to..... Ordered two rolls, upon paying found out that at this location they charge you 59 cents each for the tiny 2oz portion of sauce the other locations give for free with each roll. As does every other pizza place I've ever been to. Payment went from cash to credit card because of that.... Got home the chicken parm roll was OK, the pepperoni roll had very little pepperoni. Will continue to visit western Ave, Ontario st and Latham locations but unlikely to come back to this location. read more

Posted hours don't match the hours the East Greenbush location is operating with. For the last week they are closed and everyone is gone before 9PM. read more

Great Pizza Delivery. Can't go wrong--order from Paesans and have a tasty meal. Kids love the pizza and mozzarella sticks. Delivery Drivers are very pleasant and most helpful. In these days don't worry about what's for dinner or I don't feel like cooking--Just order Paesans Pizza online. read more

Great pizza delivery over all! The order is always accurate, delivered on time and the pizza is hot and tasty! I order from only them for Office events! They've never let me down! Great chicken parm subs too! read more

Well . Since their remodel we've ordered a few times. It was never anything great, portions were small and it was on the higher price end, but not awful just not good. They are extremely rude. I guess if I were starving I'd eat here but I wouldn't like it read more

Ordered from Paesans. The positive was they delivered and I purchased one of their specialty pizzas. It was good. They claim to be Brooklyn's Finest. I've know Brooklyn Pizza, I love Brooklyn Pizza. Hey Paesans, you're no Brooklyn pizza. Antipasta was a cheap salad with minimal toppings baked ziti rivaled my high school cafeterias best effort. The calzone was soupy ricotta. All in all you'd be better to get a frozen pizza from Market 32 and have them deliver. read more

12/11/2019 is absolutely the last time I order a specialty pizza. They are never good anymore. It seems like they are ore made and reheated/baked. Tonight I ordered an Italian stallion and as god as my witness, I believe they wiped off the sauce and then put on toppings. The pizza is flavorless. Never have i ever!!! I'm tired of calling and complaining. Nobody cares. Too bad. Paesans WAS my favorite. No more though. read more

Delicious pizza. Standard thin crust, not to thin, folds nicely without breaking or sagging. Great pizza sauce (not too sweet or acidic... just right) and good amount of fresh toppings. Dining room not really suited for a meal or lunch for us 'bigger' folk. But would order take-out Pizza here anytime. The white pizza (slices during lunch hour) was a favorite, but a bit on the small size compared to others in the area. For price and taste this is now my go-to lunchtime pizza joint. read more

I had a coupon, so decided to give them a try. When I bought a cheese pizza the staff were friendly and helpful. The pizza was cooked just right, slighly browned on the edges, and the crust was NYC style but without the taste. The cheese was not stringy, chewy or tasty. Just a bland cheese that was sprinkled sparingly over the top. It's pricey, but a little bigger than most large pizzas. The sauce was bland. That means it was red but flavorless. They advertise themselves as Brooklyn style but this product would never succeed in Brooklyn. read more

Just tried this place, and despite my low expectations of a local chain, the pizza was actually pretty good! The dough was the way I like it. My 'crust test' is to fold the slice in half. It shouldn't break at the crease (too thin and crunchy), and it shouldn't flop or droop (too thin, watery sauce, poor gluten structure). Sauce wasn't too sweet or watery, and with the right amount of salt, and cheese was good quality. The slices were a bit too small, though. It probably wouldn't cut into profits too much to make it a bit larger. Usual pizza lunch special is offered: 2 slices + soda = $5.18 after tax. read more

Used to enjoy their pizza even though it was more expensive. But now charging a $2 delivery fee that they don't put on their menu and not honoring their coupons when they say it was reflected in the price has left a bad impression. Expensive pizza is fine if you're not being taken advantage of. I'll be buying my takeout elsewhere. Have it two stars because the delivery guy honored the coupon at the door read more

I'm picky. They are friendly and their food is good. The pizza is maybe very good...not excellent. Their crust is a bit bland and could be a bit more flavorful. That being said the service is good and the pizza still is worth the trip. Slices are now 3.09 and they have a large selection. read more

The pizza here was less than disappointing. The prices were far too high for the old decrepit pizza we received, and the older gentleman who 'helped' us at the front counter had been taught customer service by an Ogre. Needless to say we will not be returning; I would prefer frozen pizza from Dollar Tree. read more

I usually never review anything but we moved to East greenbush and decided that this would be our pizza place we orded from them at least 10 times....so this last time there was a mistake on the online order and I called to see if they could correct it and they said no that I would have to order a whole other pizza after I just spent $35 dollars on this crap.. So needless to say I will never order from them again horrible way of doing business. read more

I've been ordering from this place for a while but today I had an unpleasant experience I ordered off Grubhub as I usually do and when the delivery guy gets here he complains that I don't tip and that they will no longer deliver to me until I start to tip I think that's totally unreasonable due to the fact that I already have to pay a delivery fee...on top of that he was rude I won't be ordering from here again read more

Pizza at Paesans is expensive but is very delicious. Their pizzas are very big and taste very good. I got delivery and it was delicious despite the hour they took to make it. Pickup or dine in is a lot faster read more

Good pizza. Not too greasy, crust is a nice thickness, pretty consistent in overall flavor and how it's cooked and delivery is usually decently timed. read more

The pizza tastes good and isn't too oily. The buffalo chicken pizza is a little bit salty so make sure you get a drink. All-in-all, Paesans is a pretty nice pizzeria. read more

I can't comment on the pizza at this location yet, but the one in Albany is amazing. So I'm sure it will be great. I can, however, comment on the service. I ordered over the phone and talked to a girl & got a medium extra cheese & a dipping sauce to be delivered. She was conversing with someone in the background about the price and it came to almost $18. Which seemed expensive. I called back & spoke to a guy, the one I think she was talking to. I ended up agreeing to pickup, and after some back and forth going over prices and stuff, which I got from THEIR website, he agreed to $14 & change. That's not my biggest issue, though. The reason this is my first and last call to this location is because the man I spoke with was rude. Not just a little bit rude, either. His attitude was over the top, unnecessarily rude. You could hear it in his voice as soon as he said hello. He acted as if I were interrupting some very important event by calling and asking questions. It wasn't the sound of an exhausted manager, ready to go home for the night or someone who's having an off day. He talked to me like I was someone he seriously did not like and he wasn't afraid to let me know that. I am not one of those people who are a pain to deal with. I'm polite & friendly. I say please, thank you, maam, sir, etc. I was even extra nice while trying to get him to not over charge me by $4 for my order! There was no reason for the attitude & if he genuinely does not like people, maybe he shouldn't get on the phone with them. Ever. read more

The pizza is good and so are the Italian dinner dishes. Their manacotti does taste a bit like plastic, and does not taste the same as the stuffed shells (you'd think they would taste the same, pasta and ricotta). The delivery people are a tad creepy, though. read more

Ordered a baked sub. What I got was a sloppy hot mess. Tasted horrible. They baked the lettuce and tomato into the sub and when I got it the lettuce was brown and the tomato had no form left at all. Took three bites and threw it out. A waste of 8$. Would not recommend. read more

Best chicken wings ever!!! Awesome mixed vegetable pizza too!

This is hands down the only good pizza place this side of the river that's not Troy area. They know it to because the customer service sucks. Doesn't suck in a screw you way just the yep thanks for your money have a nice day way. Pizza is delicious though. Wings are ok but the pizza is why I go. Only NY style you will find in the direct area until you hit Troy. No matter what they do in regards to customer service or anything else that I could minus stars for I will always love them because they have actual NY style pizza. read more
