Fantastic Pizza, friendly staff. Best pizza Ive ever had .
Solid mom and pop local restaurant with a nice variety of wholesome dinner options. The pizzas are really good and the wings are about the best you can get anywhere.
Pizza is delicious, both the thin round pie and square Sicilian. The other food weve had is good also. The lack of table service and paper plates for pies is a little disappointing. But maybe the reasonable prices are worth it.
If you go up north get this pizza its awesome we love it id give it a 10/10
Excellent food! The restaurant itself is Adirondack rustic, just as it should be.Ive never seen anywhere, where the wait staff will only come about 5 feet from the kitchen door. After you order at the counter you seat yourself and the wait staff call your name when your food is done rather than serving the tables. It seems to work just a little strange!
The food was very greasy and overbearingly rich. I was expecting an authentic Italian experience and instead got what seemed like a delivery pizza. There was also no service whatsoever, and we even had to clear our dishes after us.
Nice crust! Well done, with extra sauce; an all around good pie. The balance of sweet and salty is perfectly managed here. Crispy pepperoni and gooey cheese made it a wrap. Well be returning, for certain. Their seafood and salads menu looks amazing, so addi g that to the list. Open until 10 PM makes them a strong contender for your business anytime - they deserve it for keeping their doors open late and year-round!
We have visited DeCesares every Friday night thru all of 2020. Great pizza thin crust lots of toppings and great people just what i love.
Pizza was fine except for olive pits in the olive pizza. Spaghetti and meatball dish had almost raw meatballs spaghetti tasted frozen.
Pizza is very expensive. Got 2 regular sized pizzas. 1 cheese and 1 pepperoni for pickup. Payed over 35 dollars. When I picked them up they were lightweight and on the small side. Tasted good but not 35 dollar good. I saw a menu on the website that said it was supposed to be 11.99/ pie but they said they raised the price. Too bad for me it was too late and I was too hungry.
Everything was great but the pizza. Everything was hand breaded and not cheaply made but the pizza was flat and undercooked.
I was up in the area visiting a friend and was looking for a place to grab a bite to eat. There are about two options in the area, this place and a pub down the road. If you enjoy sitting yourself, getting up to order food and then have to get up again to get your food then this is the place for you. When we got up to order food, another customer took our table and we had to sit elsewhere. The food is average. The staff was a little rude. Wouldnt come here again.
The food is delicious. Started coming here when we were still in ct. Our last stop before getting on the Northway was to get a sicilia type pizza. The pizza is usually our go to meal but they make awesome wings, hot sandwiches and baked ziti and meatballs. Never have had any of their fish dishes but the aroma when you get out of your car is so tantalizing.
We love this place. Whatever I get is always excellent. Highly recommend a visit you wont be disappointed..
Tonight I was very disappointed we got there at 5:10 and ordered a 8 slice with 2 toppings and 2 salads the couple we were with ordered their pie 10min later the third couple in our party arrived and ordered the its. 30min later the second couples pie came out a few min later the third one came out in between 2 out her pies came out that ordered after me. I go to the counter and I am received with total indifference as to what is the delay and am told it is com ing out of the oven now. I drive 15 miles to eat there. I am thinking that I should find another Italian Restaurant to eat at. By the way this is the second time this has happend.
The pizza was really good and only took 15 minutes to get it to us after we ordered. Quick and tasty.
There are several pizza joints in Schroon Lake, and DeCesares owns the title of the oldest and best known. Their pizzas are round or grandma style and are hearty and filling. They have a full range of typical Italian pasta dishes, awesome wings with three heat ratings, homemade bread to take out and in the winter offer specialty soups. And their subs are GIGANTIC! Its definitely the food that brings families here, not the ambiance. No liquor license. Open all summer with restricted winter hours.
Best pizza in the north country period! Also great seafood and hot sandwiches!!!
Sadly, the pizza served is a bit greasy for my taste and not entirely to a good new york pizza standard. Admittedly, my bias is based upon living proximate to the city, but alpine pizza up the road did have a better pie overall.
Generous portions and top quality ingredients. Professional service. Its a great place.
Always greeted like family with a wonderful menu and delicious meals. From Pizza & Wings to Schrimp Scampi & Italian delights, its ALL good!
We happened on this place when we pulled off the interstate for gas/pit stop. We were able to get a table right away, which surprised me since the parking was full and we had to park across the street. The food tasted great!
Astonishingly great pizza, every time. And the wings?? Some of the best Ive had... anywhere.
Great food but really should update the site when they decide to close. Drove there twice this week and site said they were open snd they were closed
We just called to order a dish (pasta,broccoli,oil and garlic) . while it isnt on the menu , they have made it before for me since they do have all 4 of those ingredients. They were very rude, short and unprofessional while turning down my money.
Small but nice restaurant. Takeout and service was quick for being so busy. I ordered ziti and ate it for 3 meals!
Normally we are pleased with our food, but this last time we were not, when I called in to place our to go order, I got a bit of an attitude, the chicken wings were burnt, and the buffalo chicken pizza was not worth the trip.
The best pizza you will ever have. The warm homemade bread is outstanding
Been going here for years! Great food and friendly staff
Our pizza was dry and crust was hard as a rock. We wont be going back there
Delicious pizza. The rest of their food is pretty good too. No table service...you order and pick up at the counter.
Excellent pizza, the prices are a little high but you get such a satisfying pie that its worth it. Great rustic feel.
Great food and staff! The sausage sandwich with onions and peppers and ranch on there homemade bread is terrific!
Their food was great, but the prices were too high and the prices listed were not the same as they were on the board.
Very good food ,pleasant staff I enjoy it very much plus best pizza anywhere
Great Family Business over 30+ years ,Fantastic Pizza plus great Italian Dishes ,A favorite stop for locals and familiesYou will always be satisfied never disappointed
The sicilian style pizza is incredible, and the wings are delicious as well. Cute place to sit down for lunch & dinner
Its a fast food restaurant with a home built feel with no service they werent understaffed just dont want to wait on any one you have to serve yourself and I mean get your own silverware and plate then your own soft drink crazy...
Best pizza I ever ate, and Im from Montreal, Canada... The cheese sticks and fries looked home made and were delicious too!
The food there was amazing. You can tell thats its not frozen, and they cook it themselves. Its not very cheap, but not very expensive either.
The best Italian food in the area! Great staff, inviting setting. Try the amazing wings!!
Great food, family restaurant, Italian food, pizza, fish, great bread and salad. Reasonably priced. We eat there often.
Love DeCesares! It is a great local eatery.
Great pizza & prices! Italian meals as well. Family friendly!
It was great, had chicken corn soup and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. Never disappointed here.
Great pizza good chicken parm amazing bbq chicken wings. They broil them for that of the grill taste!!
Solid Italian fare in a no frills setting. The locals love this place and all of the food tried there justifies their loyalty!!!
The food was very good. There arent many other options in this small town, and this is a good choice. I suggest the Wildcat pizza.
Fantastic just tried the shrimp parmesan for the first time!! Every time we go the food is great!
The fried shrimp was excellent! Well definitely be back!
These people know their pizza. Best I’ve had in a long long time.

2021-05-31We stopped in to try the gluten free pizza, and we were not disappointed! It was fantastic! The salad we ordered was huge and exceeded our expectations! The haddock nuggets and French fries were great, too. This is definitely a place to stop for great food, reasonable prices, and good service. Their decor is adorable, too. Think mix of log cabin and outdoor, trendy Cafe. Highly recommend!

2021-10-15Was in for the marathon. Average everything... average salad, soggy spaghetti and oily pizza with tough crust. Limited or no vegan or vegetarian options. No wine or beer, no table side sevice. Friendly staff and quick service though. Family friendly and unpretentious. Convenient location.

2021-09-18Out of pizza.... let me say it again in case you think you read it wrong, out of pizza. OrderedBuffalo Wings and Mozzarella Sticks as an app, and we were brought the Mozzarella Sticks and no wings, so had to go back and ask for the wings which were were very dry and not very Buffalo. Since no pizza, I ordered the meatball sub which had very little sauce with meatballs that would have been a dramatic improvement if they were frozen meatballs from a local supermarket freezer aisle. A friend ordered a Roast Beef sub, out of roast beef, ok.. so she got the mixed Italian which wasn’t bad, but definitely not great. Another friend ordered the Haddock Platter which he said was great. 2 stars for the Haddock Platter. I normally don’t leave reviews but this is DeCesare’s Pizzaria, I’ve gone 20yrs without having their food and was beyond psyched at once again being able to have the food that had never disappointed me in the past and drive 20miles just to eat it. Sadly, with most of the substitute meal ( went there for the pizza .... a pizzaria that was out of pizza and it wasn’t peak summer business ) being a bland, honestly overpriced for what we received experience, will not be back anytime soon. But, that’s my experience and my opinion.. I hope yours is as great as mine always were in the past.

2021-08-26In Schroon Lake on vacation and Decesare’s was only 2-3 minutes from where we are staying. Ordered pizza, a hoagie, a salad and a fish entree our first night. Everything was soooo delicious and portions were generous. Ended up back here five nights later and got pizza and wings. Oh my goodness - the bbq wings were so good, we ordered more while still eating because we only got 12. So good!! Staff is very friendly too. So happy we tried them!

2021-08-17Got pizza and a large dinner salad to go. Pizza was okay but crust was soggy. Salad was horrible… tomatoes were rotten and lettuce was brown. Maybe they were having an off day but we will go elsewhere next time

2019-05-04We ordered a medium pizza and garlic cheese bread. Everything was absolutely delicious! Food came out quickly. The staff is super friendly! Its still the off season so even on a Friday night at 6:30, it wasnt super crowded; I could imagine this place is packed during the summer.

2020-02-01Weve enjoyed several meals here and love the food and atmosphere. A special thanks for being so helpful this evening! We had run out of yeast for our family bread making at a time when no other options were available in town, we thought of you. You were more than generous. Thanks DeCesares!
