I haven't been to this original location on 4th St. in Troy for a few years. The family operation is nearly 100 years old. Remarkably, it's very much as I remember it. A tiny place with three tables. Some of the seating looks like repurposed church pews. The youthful staff, friendly as always. They were running into some delays as orders came pouring in just before dinnertime. They'd have to check to see if they could fit our order for a big pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and peppers. They squeezed us in! Since the wait would be between 20-30 minutes we kept ourselves busy by checking out the desserts in the self serve refrigerator. I picked out a slice of "hangover" (alcohol) cake and I devoured it before our meal arrived. It was so delicious and naughty fun to eat our dessert before the meal. The pizza was fantastic when it arrived. I prefer crisp crusts-- this one was not-- but it was awesome just the same. My friend and I were so hungry that we consumed half of the pie before I realized that we hadn't photographed our delicious pizza. The remaining half was boxed and taken home to be enjoyed for a couple more days. The staff was so ready. They came to our table with the box and we settled up our bill. A lot to be said for tradition and quality. I've also visited DeFazio's in Albany, but I have yet to visit the relatively new restaurant up the block. Thanks, DeFazio's, for another great meal.

We love Joes, this is that good. They roll with whatever we order. Great service, nice people. They have normal sized slices that can be folded. Check that box. Thin crisp crust with the right amount of chew. Sauce that tastes like Nona made it, not from a can, or ketchup bottle like some of the bad pizza we've experienced. The cheese is fresh and better quality too. Their eggplant pizza is killer. Their wings and salads are also very good. They have door dash and we order weekly all the way to Waterford and Latham..

From the outside, I always thought this place was small, but it's actually quite spacious, bright, and very clean inside. We're so used to seeing greasy, sticky tables at pizza places, but not here. Everything was spotless--I didn't even feel the need to wipe the table, which is rare for a pizza spot. My husband and I love extra thin and crispy pizza, and this one was exactly how I like it--perfectly balanced and delicious. So many times before when I asked asked for "extra crispy" elsewhere, ended up with a burnt pizza, but this was just right. I couldn't be happier! The staff and the manager were very friendly and helpful. The manager especially made an effort to chat with customers and ensure everyone was happy. They were also very accommodating with the customizations I requested for my pizza. Great service, high-quality and delicious pizza, and a spotless environment. Highly recommend!

I was driving past I Love Pizza in Troy when I decided to stop in. I'm glad I did. What a nice selection. It's been a long time since I've had a chicken bbq slice or a broccoli slice. I also got a pepperoni and meatball slice as well as a pepperoni, onion and peppers slice. They were for my husband, the red meat eater. The shop was running a lunch special offering a free soda with every two slices ordered. I was so happy. The young man behind the counter was friendly and so helpful. I had a bit of a wait because there were a couple of customers ahead of me. They were friendly, too. They got into a conversation with me and they made me laugh. Other customers who were seated at tables and already eating could hear us chatting. I could see them turn around in their seats and smile at us. It's an old style pizza shop. It looks as though it's been there a long time. The decor reminded me of the pizza parlors that I visited as a child. When it was my turn, my total bill came out to about $17. My slices were warmed up in the oven and smelled so good when they came out. The aroma filled me with anticipation on the ride home. The pizza slices were still warm when I got home. My husband immediately took a bite and declared the pizza to be great. I enjoyed my slices as well but I wish my bbq chicken slice had a bit more chicken and a bit less bbq sauce. Nevertheless, I was still delighted with my take out lunch choice. I do love pizza. I'll be back sometime to try more of the menu.
