And Sovrana is the exception. Thick crust pizza that is very good. They sell slices and pies. Only 4 tables so mostly take out. And catering as well.

The pizza stands out with a perfectly balanced base--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside--making every slice satisfying without feeling too heavy. The sauce has a nice, classic flavor and the toppings are fresh and well-portioned. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it a solid spot for both quick takeout or a relaxed sit-down meal. While service can vary slightly during busy times, the quality of the pizza--especially that crust--keeps this place a reliable go-to.

Our daughter is…read morevisiting from California, so we wanted to Bring her here because we knew she would love this. The atmosphere is lovely. Families enjoying their meal and company. And it's right on the beautiful lake. It's a beautiful sight. This time however the experience was a little different. We arrived when it opened. Thinking less crowds equals fast and great service. Unfortunately, that's not how it went. We were seated promptly by the host. A few moments later our waitress arrived with our drink order and appetizers. She wasn't rude per se, but she wasn't warming either. Very straight to the point which was unexpected given that they just opened and it wasn't busy. It took her a while to Bring our drinks. She took our main order and after that we didn't really see her at all after That. Except for when she was helping other tables. Seemed like she had 4 tables which included us. She stopped by once to refill SOME of our drinks. She was quick so she missed that my husband was trying to ask for a beer. That took a while for her to bring out those drinks again... and again she missed that my husband wanted another beer. So I took it upon myself to go find her and ask her to please bring another beer for my husband. Once she did, we asked for the check and some boxes. For Some reason she was very prompt in getting us those things... Let me just say that the food is incredible. It's filling, delicious, cooked perfectly, and just heavenly. We got the Fried calamari, pretzel bites, and onion rings as our appetizers and a cheese pizza and Kay's special as our main course. All a 10! You'll love the food. I just wish the service matched the food and atmosphere of it all. Personally, when I go out to dine I'm not just paying for the food, but for the service. I'm paying good money to be waited on. This time this place felt short on that aspect. Maybe the waitress was overwhelmed? Maybe she just didn't want to wait on us and couldn't get us out of there fast enough. Overall This place a 3-star. It could be a 5 if the waitress was more attentive. Still, TRY THE FOOD

Route 43 Slices & More Pizzeria opened recently in the former Brad's Pizza building located near…read morethe NY 43/NY 351 intersection. This cozy pizza shop serves up pizza by the slice, whole pizzas, hot & cold subs, wings, fried appetizers, salads, Italian dinners, sweets (cheesecake, fried oreos, cookies), chips, and Coke cooler drinks. The prices seem fair. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating inside this shop. Since my other favorite pizza place in WSL moved to Rensselaer, I stopped by Route 43 Slices for a quick bite, mid afternoon. They had 4 kinds of pizzas (slices) ready to be reheated behind the glass counter. I picked out the 9" Broccoli Ricotta Pizza Slice ($3.99 plus tax), which was reheated nice & hot in the oven. I enjoyed the large pizza slice which had a firm thin pizza crust, slight char on the edge crust and topped with plenty of soft ricotta cheese, broccoli florets, garlic, oil, and browned mozzarella cheese. I will definitely have to order a whole pizza next time around. I would also suggest they add calzones to their menu offerings.

With that being said, you would think a new place would put some effort into the food, but that simply isn't the case here. To explain, I ordered a pepperoni pizza and the results were disappointing. First, the pizza was so greasy that it stained the box. Similarly, the crust was chewy and tasted frozen. Likewise, the cheese was incredibly salty and tasted very cheap. In the same vein, they used the cheap cupped pepperoni that you often find on gas station pizza. The only decent thing about the pizza was the sauce, but they hardly put any on the pizza. I just don't understand why a new place would put so little effort into their food. At the close, Route 43 Pizzeria is a below average pizza spot that offers nothing of value.

So it satisfies the pizza craving, but is not perfection, which is what I look for in a cheese pie. If you pick-up your pizza you get a free 2-L soda, which is a nice bonus and they have a nice variety of slices in the shop if you want to just grab a quick slice. I'd give them 3.5 stars if half stars existed.
