    Queen Margherita Pizza & Garlic Knots
    Isabella J.

    Uncle Rico's Pizza, where to begin. We doubted you. May 14th I had this crazy urge for pizza. Upon further investigation I discovered Uncle Rico's pizza place was just across the street from my apartment. Looking at reviews I was a little scared. That's when I decided to stalk the instagram page, where I found out you guys sponsor school sports and are loved among the community. I wanted to come here and give a good review, since for some reason the only people that have reviewed the place have done so in a negative way. We came with an open mind and we left with a new favorite pizza place. The Margherita pizza was delicious, you could really taste the seasoning in the sauce, I loved it. Paired with the garlic knots..where do I begin. Those garlic knots were my favorite. Everything about them was perfect, crispy on the outside, nice soft texture on the inside. I deeply enjoyed the food this place had to offer and will definitely be back.

    White Broccoli Ricotta Pizza and Papa Pizza

    Recently moved to the area and my daughter also did too so we were checking out different restaurants and pizza places, etc. This is the first one we tried and enjoyed the pizza! We got the white broccoli ricotta and the Papa pizza. We enjoyed them both!

    XL Extra Cheese extra pep

    Ordered for tonight. No complaints from anyone at the house. The pizza is delicious and extra cheesy, just the way we like it. Delivery driver left it in the correct location, and called once he placed it their. I really appreciate that as I also have dogs and did not want them barking. Haven't ordered from here in a while as I have not wanted pizza, but 10/10 next time I order, it will be from Uncle Rico's. Thanks Uncle!

The Chicken and Lamb were moist and tender. I am not a lamb lover, but this lamb could change my mind. The rice was spiced mildly and tasted great with the meats. The pita was cut into small pieces, but I would have preferred a whole or half pita. I will ask next time. The owner supplied me with three different sauces on the side to try ranging from mild to spicy (green one). The Chicken Chapli was a cut up well seasoned chicken patty. A few meat combinations are available. (See pic of Menu) The Swarma Wrap was moist and a little messy to eat since I sliced it into two portions. It had a medium spiced sauce and small salad pieces such as cucumber. Not my favorite. The owner was friendly and thanked me for my business. He said they cater for as few as ten people if interested. I commented on the long hours they are open (10 am to 1:15 am), and he responded with a smile, "We're from the City." There are several tables to dine in if wanted. Lots of natural light from the large front windows makes the place inviting. The pick up counter with kitchen behind it is beyond the tables. The walls are decorated nicely, and the place screamed CLEAN. Parking is in front, and the restaurant is easy to access. There are no steps to enter. I look forward to ordering again soon, especially when family visits. Quality, healthy well prepared food to enjoy at home. Please check out my photos to get a sense of the experience.

Running errands in this area and dropped in to try Memphis King's (1st time visit) I always get the same wings (hot buffalo) at each restaurant/bar to keep things fair. Memphis King's wings are smoked, then fried. I've found that you lose a lot of smoke flavor when they're fried to order but these had just the right amount still present. Very tasty. And crispy! (a lot of smoked wings are grilled but, while delicious, it doesn't render enough of the skin to make them crispy and I like crisp!) I've sampled wings from about 30 places (so far) and I would whole heartedly put Memphis King's in my top 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying their other items because their burnt ends look great. As does the house made pastrami *droooool* As for the people, the gal in front of house was wonderful. And the chef (not sure if he was the owner or not) was so nice. Kept checking in on me to see how everything was and kept offering me suggestions and samples. Not pushy, just smart business because I'm 100% gonna go back.

We drove away to start ordering pizzas and wings because he w has family coming over in 1 hour and has no food for them.

We've had the food in the past and thought it was award winning but we will not be returning and will be sharing this with friends & family so they don't have the same catastrophic situation arise with this business. We should've ordered through Meat & Company in Niskayuna.

Since my first experience, I've returned several times over the past year, and each visit has been consistently excellent. The cocktail menu is outstanding, with a great selection of creative drinks. Their espresso martinis have become a favorite for my friends and me during our girls' nights out. The food is just as impressive--the appetizers and entrées are rich, comforting, and full of flavor, with plenty of indulgent, cheesy options that never disappoint. One of my favorite places to dine is the Library at Backstage Pub. It offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. A special thank you to Terry and the wonderful staff for their exceptional hospitality and consistently providing such a memorable dining experience. I always look forward to coming back.

    I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally decided to give it a try. One of the reasons…read moreI kept putting it off was because I thought the menu didn't look much different from the typical pub fare in the area. But after eating there I found they have curated their own unique versions of the classics. We started with an order of 3's company wings which was a mixture of buffalo, garlic parm, and lemon pepper sauces. The sauce was pretty good but I like my wings crispy and these were not. For dinner I got the Backstage burger and upgraded to poutine fries. Now I'm not the biggest fan of a traditional poutine but I wanted to try it anyway because it looked good. The burger was cooked perfectly and the beef they use is very good. The poutine fries were enormous and apparently only half the size of a full order. If you like poutine you'll probably be into them but I thought the gravy was a little thick and not that flavorful and the cheese curds didn't melt as much as I would have liked. The real sleeper hit though was the Mac & Cheese. I wasn't expecting anything special and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely would come back for that. When we showed up it wasn't too busy but they were full by the time we left and I got the feeling that reservations are preferred.
