I Love New York Pizza in other cities:
Comments (199)
Best pizza….reminds of pizza from the city… very tasty
A must stop when in the area... Courteous, Fast, and Great New York style pizza.
Outside of the NYC area it can be hard to find real NY pizza. But when we lived upstate we found I Love NY Pizza and I have to say I love I Love New York Pizza Its one of the best that weve had anywhere. Anytime we are now back in the Capital District, we make sure to pick up a pie and some wings.
Customer service on point. Their pizza is delicious 😋 for my chocolate lovers i recommend their chocolate moose cake
The pizza was horrible the last two delivery orders. Tonight it was burnt to where it was impossible to chew. I called the store. A woman answered and said her husband makes it and if I don’t like it don’t order there anymore then hung up on me. This is the same lady that I had a bad experience for previously when ordering for my church and she’ rude…nasty attitude. She won’t have to worry about us ordering again.
Good variety of pizza from lasagna to chicken bacon ranch. Friendly staff.
Been going here since I was 5 years old, love the pizza and theres lot of options. Although the pizza is pretty greasy, it is a good treat for myself once and a while. The same people have been working here for years too and they continue to have to same work ethic and manners that they had when I was a kid, great people!
Ive been missing NYC pizza for a while now and every local place I ordered from in Schenectady, although good....got stiff very fast! But this place was a surprise, not only did the pie not get dry and/or stiff in 30mins it fulfilled my NYC cheese pizza craving. In the words of the youths,it was bussin.
Pizza was ok. Wings were alot better.. definetly go back for the wings...
These guys do pizza right. They are farther than a few other places near my work but if I have the time I will make the trip at lunch time. Again on the weekends if I have the time we will make the trip its worth it. We have been here many times and it is consistently good. Anything from a basic cheese pie to a meat lovers combo they nail every time.
Have had pizza there before and it was good. This time, pizza was extremely dry, barely any sauce. Called bc we were delivered edible cardboard and the owner (?) said that he always puts the same amount (1 scoop of sauce) on every pizza without listening to anything else said when trying to explain this is not what we’ve had in the past. Told we’d have to order extra sauce, and pay for it, if we wanted more. We’ve had this pizza before and never needed to order extra sauce.
My family and I are visiting the area. We wanted to try some New York pizza. Lady answers the phone yelling at me. Asking if I am going to talk. She never said hello, and did not even give me time to say anything. Then said this is your 30th time calling and not saying anything, and hung up. Sorry of they were receiving prank calls, but this is so rude. We just wanted a few pizzas. We will try somewhere else.
Best pizza I have ever had
Just how i like my pizza- greasy & not doughy! Wings are crisp yet tender and so saucy. Best pizza and wings in Colonie! Great deals & super nice staff 🍕❤
Anchovy pizza is hard to find. Theirs is so good. Huge slices.The bread used for the sub was exceptional. Fresh and flavorful. Roast beef was perfect.Large salad was just that. Loaded with all the right stuff.I ordered online. Easy. Fast and friendly delivery..A++ rating. Highly recommended.
Best pizza in the capital district. I stop by every time i go down Central Ave. You cant get enough pizza. Also very healthy. Try the veggie pizza or the buffalo chicken. Fabulous. There is also 3 cute guys running the place !!!
Honestly, this place is a hole in the wall. But its a convenient location and its the pizza that counts right? As far as pizza places go in this area, these guys make one of the best pies Ive had. Theyve been cranking the most consistent pies out of this location for as long as I can remember. Im pretty sure theyve had the same guys in the back slinging pizzas for years. Total naturals
Showed up when they opened and they looked at me like I was an alien got no help
LARGE variety of pizzas with various combinations of toppings ready and waiting for you! There must have been 15 different pizza options for slice selections - thin and sicilian. Mix and match!! I just wanted cheese, it was fresh and hot out of the oven. Fast, friendly & reasonable!
Apparently 6 miles even is out of their range for delivery. With a dozen choices in the area, nonsense like this is what will kill a business. Oh well, not my problem, Ill just call one of the other pizza places that are happy to deliver 10 minutes away.
Good was great, people excellent. A little pricy for what it was.
I never write reviews, but for this I had to. I wish I can give negative stars. I placed an order more than an hour and a half ago for delivery and some rude lady is going to call me saying that they don’t deliver to my area, then why allow me to place an order on the website? Then she proceeds to insult the tip amount I put, not knowing that I was going to give the driver a tip with cash because I don’t trust any company giving online tips to their drivers. Why allow me to wait almost 2 hours for food that was never going to be delivered? The lady on the phone could’ve been polite about it, but instead she was rude and insulting.
Soggy, uncooked, disgusting tasting mushrooms, mushrooms were not fresh but canned, no tomato sauce, impossible to eat with your hands because it wasn’t cooked. One of the worst pizzas I have ever had. Unable to enjoy it at all. Horrible! Will never go back.
I went there and they require masks for vaccinated customers. They do not believe in science and are unamerican. The Pizza was stale this time when in the past it was great. They lost a long time customer over their mask policy
If you like their Pizza, then you dont know what a good pizza is. Their pizza is dry and the crust is a dark brown, almost burnt. The doe doesnt have a good flavor, it tastes like white bread. If you are not satisfied they will not give a full refund.
Good pie been going off and on for 20 Yeats
I order from this place a couple times a month and today I accidentally ordered pick up instead of delivery. I called to see if I could switch it and whoever answered the phone was such a jerk and the whole time someone in the background was saying “just hang up on them. Just hang up”. So I finally had enough and took his advice and I hung up.Canceled my order through the app I ordered in and won’t be going back.
I placed an online order and there was a mistake that I realized after I cashed out. I call the pizza shop asking them to correct it fully willing to pay the difference. They refused to correct my order and referred me to call the online ordering company. I did so, paid the difference And then waited an hour for my hour. All to have it delivered with the original error. When I called the shop again they refused to take any responsibility or offer resolution. They officially lost a customer over a $2 topping. Terrible customer service extremely slow delivery (I live on the same road)
Their pizza just tastes different... meaning better. Try the Sicilian.
You know I love this place Ive posted b4,but 1 ought we ordered a pie and it was not what I expected.ig was under cooked we ate 1 piece and threw out the rest.i usually get 2 slices or cheese and broccoli ricotta and its amazing.
I love this place! they always deliver no matter what the weather. the price is great and the are very generous with toppings and cheese! Best pizza around**update**I moved and depending on the person, sometimes they will deliver to me and sometimes won’t. That I why I removed a star.
Pizza is always good there. Theyve been in operation at that location for 2 decades.
They wouldn’t let me bring my service dog inside of the pizza shop on central ave in colonie
I was disappointed in the quality of their pizza. The taste of the pizza bland and the crust was soggy. I ordered extra cheese and it felt like there was was not. I ordered sausage on the pizza, sliced very thin little taste very bland. Not what I expected very disappointed
Pizza always fresh.the best Pizza in upstate
Friendly staff made things go super fast, the pizza was terrific and that chocolate cannoli was to die for. Would love to come back sometime!
Poor customer service. Unwilling to fix order issues. We ordered our pizza almost 90 min ago and when we arrived to get our order they told us some one else picked it up. It took a full on argument and another 60 freaking minutes to get it right. No apologies or considerations made. First time last time I guess. Buyer beware
This place have great pizza, I go every chance I can, great service very friendly, and very fast service.
Pizza is good, place could use some updating but if you dont mind that then try the chicken parm or ziti slices. Or dont. I dont really care.
Some of the best pizza in Albany by far. Dont let these picky reviewers fool you. These guys are spot on all the time, just a busy place. Stop in and get it hot. Its worth it. Good sauce good toppings. Awesome breadsticks! Price is right Bob.
Wonderful greasy NY pizza! Large cut, thin crust, and the grease forms pools. Night before Christmas and they were open however they wouldnt deliver to a house 5 minutes away even tho they were delivering that night.
The worst place to ever get take out delivery from. Have ordered two too times to many for delivery, over an hour and forty minute for delivery when told within an hour twice now. The woman on the phone laughed at me when I had called to ask what was going on. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I understand things happen and places get busy but the lack of caring and disrespect of the customer is unheard of. I get it you sell pizza for a living, sounds terrible. I’ll be going elsewhere next time for sure.
It sure is a shame that many places in upstate NY dont know how to make a good pizza. But this place makes up for it. Friendly people, great quality food, and good for take out. Sometimes I go there after my choir rehearsal. I have went there at times, and I have to say their cheese sicilian slices blew me out of the water. It was litterally one of the best sicilian slices I have ever had.
The pizza at this location was not as good as the other I love NYs I have been too. I think they let the pizza sit out a bit long because my pizza was very dry but maybe it would of tasted better if I ordered a entire pizza to go. I only ordered slices and they where not that good. If the pizza does not look fresh I recommend asking for something that just came out.
Was there when the individual said he was threatened, thats a lie! He was mouthy and belligerent. For some unknown reason he kept cracking open a soda bottle and then saying he got it like that. The pizza is great, always. Brought many people there and everyone loves the food. Great family who runs it
Was excited to move back to Colonie to have I Love again... Gave them 2 shots and both times pizza was horrible and took twice as long as was supposed to. Not sure if ownership changed hands but definitely not the same. Very disappointed.
Order family special $21.99 off menu that was mailed to my house. 20 wings 1 large cheese 2ltr soda. I go to pick it up man at counter rings it up $28.50. I said excuse me sir but menu price is $21.99 He stated his costs have gone up he needs to charge more. I said you didnt state that on phone. Pretty petty to bait and switch price. Wings were a little dry nothing special. Pizza little sauce not much flavor. They did me a favor never again at this place. Honor your menu prices! Buyer beware!
Thin & delicious pizza. I have yet to find any pizza place that can match the level of quality provided at I Love New York Pizza. They also have the biggest variety of pizzas made when you go for slices. Crust is always soft and chewy. Steak pizza tastes like a Philly cheese steak from Rendezvous Steak Shop in Lancaster and I also recommend their Buffalo Wing pizza.
Love this place.i am not a big pizza fan but their pizza was light and crunchy not thick and doughy.so definitely I will be getting pizza from there
Ordered a pizza on 5/19/19 at 6:30pm An there was no sauce on my pizza. Plus it was 30 min late. When I request another one they argued with me saying they put sauce on every pie An was basically calling me a liar. Then when I showed the driver the sauceless pizza he had the nerve to yell at me An tell me I shouldn’t of asked for another pie cuz I ate some of the bad pizza. Excuse me but I was hungry An they messed up not me. He then proceeded to tell me to never order from there again.
Great pizza.!! 2 slices (any kind)and soda for 5.00. Mon- Fri until 3pm.Love their Chicken Parm sandwich.
Havent been here in a while, but I enjoy the food every time I go. Fresh, great tasting as well as excellent service.
Best pizza and hot wings hands down! Im here almost every other day for lunch and i can say im rarely NOT in the mood for their pizza!
I suggest the chicken, bacon, ranch and tomato. Delicious!
Boyfriend loves it here; pizza is good, my pasta dish was overcooked but for the fair price he charges I cant really complain. The men here are absolute sweethearts, so nice. There is a woman answering the phones sometimes and she is um, not so nice. They charge half what their competitors do for pasta dinners.
Very good pizza with lots of variety that cant be found at other local slice shops. Try the Sauteed Sausage, Peppers, and Onions pizza. Its the best.
Great pizza and mozzarella sticks. Marinara could be thicker, but absolutely delicious!!
This is the best pizza place I have ever known of in my whole life this place has unthinkable ideas to put on pizza that all taste amazing. My personal favorite is the baked ziti pizza which I get every time I get there. The only thing i would reccomend is a better sausage for there sausage pizza
Delicious garlic parm and medium wings!
Pizza was delicious! Courteous staff from phone call when ordering to pick up. Can’t believe this was my first trip here. Will definitely be back!
Called in order, told 30 minutes was there another half hour waiting for 2 meatbsll subs. Asked when I went in he said in oven will be out shortly. As people walked in and out with there orders I just stood in the cold door way waiting! After 30 more minutes I asked again some yelled over Im getting them out now. Stood there watching and finally got my subs. At that point I was so disgusted paid and walked out.
Great NY style thin crust Philly cheese steak pie, delicious crust, carmalized onions and mushrooms with a creamy cheese buttery base, great wings and Antipasto! Friendly fast delivery and right on time! Thanks guys! Keep making that delicious NY thin crust! Highly recommend! Yummm..:)D.MoonStay bridge Suites
Delicious food... delivery is always on time food is always hot 🔥 loveee this pizza place
Hands down the worst pizza Ive ever had. Pizza was Doughy, crust was more than 1/4 of the slice. Cheese and sauce was horrible tasting. Chicken wings were dry and over cook. Avoid this location at all costs.
Best Pizza I ever had. Extremely good prices excellent staff.
Always consistently good pizza from this place. Their customer service can sometimes be abrupt and very no-nonsense, but theyre not rude.
Great place to grab a quick slice. A large variety of pizza to choose from. I havent had a bad slice yet - its all delicious!Not the prettiest looking place.But it compares favorably to NYC on both counts.
I like the pizza from here. They are always pleasant and ready to serve you.
These guys are the best. I go here almost every day for lunch and sometimes dinner and they are the most polite people that work at a pizza shop. Every other pizza place Ive went to on Central Ave they were so freakin rude. They say hi to everybody that walks in the door and besides that, their food is soooo good!
Always excellent every time we order from there! Amazing food and service I would highly recommmend it! You can never go wrong with the Sicilian Style pizza!!
Ordered scilian pizza here, the pizza was good was kinda disappointed that the crust wasnt as thick has I hoped it would have been. But it was good and by the end of the night it was all gone.
Really great pizza. Lots of different slice varieties available during lunch time.
Never have I ever eaten something so tasty N Delicious The Sicilian Style Pizza is one of there best.... I wanna say Best Seller but its pretty Good
Undercooked toppings. I didnt eat any, and my boyfriend threw most of his away as well. Cannot recommend.
I love this pizza shop. I bring alot of people here since I work down at the college. It is a great place to grab a couple of slices.
Pizza is good, anything else is a waste of money. We got two subs and both were terrible! The vegetables on the buffalo chicken sub were soggy and the meatballs on the meatball sub were horrific. ONLY GET PIZZA if you go there
They make a good slice of pizza, especially like the pepperoni and the lasagna. Not sure what they do right, but this is better than some of the pizza I have in the city.
Would give better rating but their delivery SUCKS! at least an hour & 10mins every time! get estimated delivery when order online of an hour or 1hr 10mins but almost 2h hours after ordering finally get it & if call to check, they say yep he just left!!! definitely gonna have to find better delivery around here
Always good pizza.. Never had a bad slice..Owners are awesome.. treat you like a friend..
Pizza is very good here never let me down yetComing here for over 7 yearsI recommend it
Love the pizza here! sauce and service is great !
One of the best pizza places in Albany NY. Always courteous staff and great food. Havent had anything bad from this place. The best hot wings ever.
Great pizza and subs. They have many styles of pizza ready for slices . There is a nice sitting area to eat there
The food isn’t bad, but this is the second time in a row it had taken over an hour and a half for delivery. The first time it was over two hours. Never an apology or offer for a refund/discount.
Great pizza one the best in the Capital district. Staff very nice people. Well done.
Great pizza served fresh and fast. Eat in tables and counters. It has a small parking lot so try to come off peak hours
Im from NYC and most people say they cant find good pizza. My family love ( I Love New York Pizza)
Great pizza and service
I referred a neighbor.When I followed up to see how they liked the pizza they said the mushrooms werent cooked into the pizza thrown on after pizza was cooked.
Their pizza is fabulous. They also have many other food items, such as garlic knots, that I like a lot.
Great NY style pizza, great prices and conveniently located. Stop in for a quick bite to eat you will not be disapointed.
How does this place have such a high rating?! Sauce is bland, pizza is doughy, and chicken wings are dry. For $60 I’m so disappointed.
Very large slices ! The pizza sauce so good!
Pizza was average at best. Wings were awful. A touch pricy IMO. Delivery was really fast, but I do live pretty close to this place.
Awful. Pepperoni pizza came with almost no cheese. Flavorless & salty. Wings were dry as hell. Like they’d been sitting there for 3 days.

2021-11-14Waited an hour and a half for the order. Pizza is ice cold. Almost no sauce. Ill have to microwave this to even eat it. Not good. Wings have almost no sauce on them but the bag is drenched in buffalo sauce and made a mess. Cheesecake was thrown in a container and is messed up. Awful. First and last time ordering here!!! $50 for this smfh.

2022-03-15Pizza is always good, however Im disabled and on various meds. Sometimes I get caught short and need to use a rest room. I asked today and was told that I could not use it. I was the only one in the store at the time. A little decency on the part of your employee would have been appreciated. I have been to your shop many times over the years and always leave a tip. I was very disappointed, as I was really in need.

2022-05-07Been going here for over 10 years, and its not the same. Had a 6-7 year stretch where I was coming out to Colonie consistently, then the last couple of years the company I work for didnt pick up anything, but now were back.The pizza used to be great, now, its OK. Floppy, a little on the greasy side, so the crust isnt crisp, its soft. You dont get a reasonably stiff piece of pizza, it sags.Also, the sausage topping used to be my favorite, but I swear, in the last couple of years, at some point, they changed it, its not as good.Havent had the wings in a while, but they used to be fantastic, hoping they they still are, as Im going to grab some in the coming days.Its edible and priced in line with everyone else, but its no longer a place I look forward to going to, which stinks, cuz it was so good years ago.

2022-04-29I order special- 12 cut pie and 20 wings with a 2 liter soda. Wings requested were garlic parm mixed with bbq. Wing were soaked in oil clumps of bbq sauce. My order was picked up at 7pm and I had mu 2 young children with meI called the restaurant and was advised they closed at 9pm. My husband got off of work a little later so we missed it that night. The next day we were rudely advised that the order van not be changed because the register had been closed out. I advised her if my young children and my husband working late and was blatantly told its not my problem. Finally she agreed if I returned the wings, she would make a new order. My husband had yhr wings that we didnt touch and we were refused again because I did not have them. I have order from them countless time but NEVER AGAIN. $43 down the drain because the pizza was gross but I had already given to my children because it was supposed to be dinner. Dont waste your time. Whoever is there now is simple RUDE and does not deserve an establishment in my neighborhood.

2022-05-27The pizza here is always close to perfection. Specialty slices are always delicious and the staff is always cordial and asking you to have a good day. Great place to stop for good food and have a quick and smooth lunch.
