My husband and i love paesans. We grew up in syracuse and moved here a few years back. Took us a while to find some good pizza out here but when we discovered Paesans we never went back. Keep up the amazing work!
Ordered delivery tonight (pizza, wings, beef patties) and honestly, my husband and I both agree it was the best pizza, and overall takeout order, we have had in a while. Parsons is our go to for pizza locally and we were not disappointed tonight. Thanks for the deliciousness!
If we are out and about wanting pizza, this is where we go. The prices are good and I love the pizza. The employees are friendly, fast, and patient. Its easy to order by the slice or pie. There are many different food options.The atmosphere is good and the restrooms are clean.
We were going there all the time but in the past 2 months our slices were HORRIBLE!!!!! I think they put the leftover slices on a pan until they get a whole pizza together then put it in the display case and reheat and serve which I KNOW had been the case!!!!! GROSS!!!!! We will be going elsewhere guys!!!!!
Workers wearing mask half way. I tried to order a couple slices and the guy warmed up some cold, old and dry pizza to give me. Lost my appetite. Never had this problem before.
I’ve grown up in Albany. I’ve been here my whole life. I’ve tried every single pizza spot dozens of times. That’s no exaggeration. Even bad pizza is pizza. But Paesan’s? It’s legit. It’s the closest thing to New York pizza outside of downstate. It’s a true encapsulation of thin crispy crust, melty cheese, and tasty sauce. It is damn good. Paesan’s is the best pizza in Albany. It’s so much better than the other pizza spots that there is no second place. It just skips to third. It gets a bad rep sometimes because it’s in the college area. To heck with that. It’s Phenomenal. Notice the capital P. I go out of my way for Paesan’s, and you should too.
Ordered Ben and Jerrys with my order for desert. Arrived early for pickup. They must have set the ice cream out as soon as I ordered. It was completely liquid. And for 5.99 for Ben and Jerrys thats unacceptable. Ice cream needs to be kept cold! Yuck
Very generous in supporting the front line health care workers at Albany med. Thank you!
The people at paesans make the experience better. Once i came in asking if they had an outlet bc my phone was dying and the man at the counter offered a phone charger. Such a simple gesture but i’ll never forget that. Their mozzarella sticks are amazing. I love their pizza and wings and they just make my day better because of their kindness.
Fast service, good variety, great prices. Delicious!
I would never recommend I order here a lot this last order was horrible. No good customer service chicken tastes old like they re-used food unacceptable they should be reported to the health department for a review. You would think with pandemic Going around they would have fresh food to get to customer I thought wrong. I will not be returning to this location at all I deserve fresh food and good service. Save your money go somewhere else.
Outstanding place for delicious pizza. Everyone at our table was glad to be there. Next time Ill be back with my friends. Prices that are reasonable. Feels similar to a cafe in Chicago I loved.
Ok. I wanted to order pizza for 12 people. My first time online order ever.So, I read all the reviews. After some consideration decided on Paesans.Looking at the menu, I thought if I order the pie I have to decided on the ingredients too. So, most of my meat lover pizza was double: ham, cheese, sausage. Also I had ordered a souse on white(!) pizza.My order at fist looked so weird, that cook called me himself. And when we talked I assured him that Im the crazy one. I said sorry and tell him to do his thing.The guys delivered fast. To the Hospital entrance.I tipped ( of course). Treated my people.White pizza received complements.The Meat Lovers one ( with most things double) was the Best Pizza ever!!!Thank you Tony.
Rude employees sub I ordered had stale bread because I asked for it to not be toasted so now I know why they are toasted because they have stale bread... the meat was almost spoiled the lettuce was brown horrible sub and it was 14 dollars! I will never order from here again and I suggest no one else does either.
My son and I love the pizza. 1st time my son tried Garlic Parm wing. Hes hooked.
Oops -I ordered through grub hub and got the mushroom pasta, which I thought was a brown sauce (not tomato). I can’t eat tomato sauces.When I received it, I was bummed and HUNGRY! I called Paesans in Albany, instead of using grub hub, to order a new dinner, and said I would pay for it as it was my fault, I misunderstood the menu name.Not only did they say “don’t worry about paying” they get here in about ten minutes with a piping hot dish of mushroom pasta with cream sauce.Thank you!!! You were kind, fast, and as always the food was delicious.
Excellent pizza! We live on Saint Simons Island, GA and there is nothing locally as good as this. Just placed my second order with Goldbelly with more to follow.
Ordered a salad and I had hair all in my salad pulled out about 2 or 3 pieces. Called back to let them know and they responded by saying nobody in there establishment has long hair and basically called me a liar. The hair was black and curly so clearly wasnt mine and was entangled in the salad. This grossed me out and i couldnt even finish eating. I was offered no refund but instead $10 off my next order. Yea as if I will order again.
Gray service food was amazing
Good stuff. I had a slice of chicken bacon ranch and was extremely satisfied with it. The guy who served us was super nice and helpful, the food was superb, we went with a group of people and everybody enjoyed what they got.
Very friendly, depending on your order it is pretty fast,
Good pizza ..good cookies too. Thanks
Weve gotten more than one office event catered with pizza and wings and sandwiches from Paesans. They always do a great job and the food is always to order. Highly recommend Paesans pizza to anyone looking in Albany.
Paesans has great pizza and their wings are delicious and crispy. Totally worth every penny. I order from here religiously and have never had a problem with their service.
Best pizza in albany always on time, never wait more than 45 minutes for even a large delivery order. Very personable staff and they save returning customers numbers and addresses which cuts down on ordering times.
Bad customer services and very rude when trying to make a order
Coming back to NY from Texas, all I was wanting was some delicious NY style pizza. I was quite satisfied!!
Grew up downstate, this is best Pizza I have found in the last 16 years of living in this area... Nice thin crust, tasty sauce, topped off with the right amount of mozzarella.. love this pizza
Excellent thin crust New York style pizza. Their wings are crispy and delicious. If youre looking for pizza in Albany, you need to be looking here.
Best pizza in the area! Great fries, wings, mozz sticks, garlic knots and they even have these new garlic knots with pepperoni in the middle. The latham store is my fav. Very friendly there
Ordered margarita pizza, philly, and cookies and cream cheese cake.. Being in New York I expected something more than a chew toy of a pizza, and prepackaged cheese cake. The philly wasnt bad, but it appeared to be the only thing prepared fresh.wouldnt recommend to my dog.
I ordered from them via grub hub at 9:27 and I 1.63 miles away from them. I never received my order and as soon as morning hits I will be calling to speak with the manager. I dont normally like posting bad customer reviews because I am a manager in the food service industry. This is highly unacceptable to me
Visited Albany from buffalo and the reviews got it right. Awesome pizza, timely delivery and great service. Definitely recommend :)
Sauce needs to kick up a notch
The only place for pizza in Pine Hills.
Chicken parm is excellent!
Never ordering from here again..I placed an order 2 hours ahead of time because my break is only 30 minutes..I called to see where my order is because Im 15 minutes into my break and my food is not here the girl answered and said give them 15-20 minutes they are busy I explained to her I ordered this 2hours in advance and my break is only 30 minutes I asked to speak to a manager and she tells me he is not here he is out on delivery then turns around and put a guy named elle on the phone very loudly as he was yelling at me said what do you want me to do we are busy give me 10 minutes here it..my food finally arrives 22minutes late and now I only have 8 minutes left of my break to eat..
Always great food and service
Our favorite local pizza place. Reliably good and relatively fast, but stick to the pizza. The wings and other items can be a bit hit-or-miss.
Better than most. Not as good as Myles Pizza formerly of Bowling Green, Oh. Would reccomend to others! Nice thinly crusted pizza, good sauce!
Wonderful pizza, best Ive had in the three years ive been in Albany!! Great service and friendly people as well!!
One of the best pizzas in Upstate, on par with Paladinos in Syracuse!
Definitely one of the better pizzas in albany. Havent tried any of their other food though, just the pizza. Thin crust style which is great.
I love their extra cheese pizzas I always get the big one Im addicted to extra cheese and they do it right I like them they cool people very sports-related spelling of TV I like Paesans hey been here for a long time I wish the city would give them room true that people can park that way they make more money
Terrible! I ordered food the guy who answered was super rude! Took over an hour for my food to arrive. When he finally got here was mad that I wouldn’t tip and insisted on arguing with me. I’ll never order again on top of that brought old rubbery pizza. 👎🏾👎🏾 And semi cold food. Never again!! Bad customer service!
Ordered food from there a bunch and a bunch of times they screw it up used to be on point but the past year down hill. Last time I ordered we had Chunks of plastic in our food. Needless to say the last time I will order there.
The boneless chicken are not worth getting but the pizzas are excellent
I googled best Pizza in Albany, NY and this place popped up. I was not disappointed. It was our 1st true New York pizza. It was amazing!!
This place is still as good as it was in college back in 07. The chicken roll was legitimate, especially because a lot of the original pizza places in Pine Hills have changed drastically.
This place has some of the best pizza in Albany. Ive found it to be better and faster than the other places nearby.
THIS is a nice place to have a coffee and relax reading a book/paper. On the other hand the quality of food leaves a bit to be desired. Other cafes in area offer better quality of food
Great pizza a d beef patties but the prices are a bit much
Best pizza in Albany!!! Love you Paesans, thank you for being so good to me!!
I know its not exactly difficult to make pizza,but theirs is really good
My favorite pizza place in Albany since college. One of the only places my Queens taste-buds found acceptable.
Food is always done to perfection and the best Ive tasted in the albany area. Especially the pizza and wings!! Always on time
Some of the best pizza in Albany. Especially cold, the next day.
Good food, I love the white pizza w ricotta and the mozzarella sticks with raspberry sauce is Soo good
I still love their extra cheese pizzas I miss the original workers sometimes the original workers let me come back more times than the ones that are new
Paesans never disappoints. The food is great and the pizza is unmatched in this area.
Very good pizza. Great staff. Nice place to eat and relax.
Best New York style pizza in Albany and the owner is really nice . A+
They should know my order by heart by now. They usually deliver, but today I visited them. Smells wonderful in here!
Do NOT RECOMMEND PATRONIZING THIS PLACE!!! Ordered food and received cold food, called to complain and the manager was rude and yelling!!!
Pick somewhere else to order from. Bad experience, rude staff, average food, delivered cold. Not worth it.
THE BEST PIZZA!! Great food, nice paisans & great service. Fugetaboutit!!
Can make your own decisions and the pizza is good. Try the three cheeses (A+).
Great wings & personal pizzas. Always nice service to.
Great Brooklyn-style pizza, rolls, and wings at great price. Lunch Special and other specials are unbelievable.
Delicious, expensive, remind me of home on Long Island.
Best chain pizza in Albany. They give you a good pizza
I grew up in Brooklyn and this is the closest Ive found in the area to NYC pizza!
My favorite place to buy pizza. Paesans makes the best white pizza ever.
Pizza is good, a bit saucy for my tastes. Service was as expected.
Great Pizzas and I love the chicken wings. They are awesome!
Came for 1st time to Albany from Rochester. It was a good pizza and fast
The crust was plastic and i will never go there agian
Best thin crust pizza in Albany. Slow delivery.
Absolutely, hands down, with no hesitation, The Best Pizza in Town.
Horrible!!! Customer service terrible!!! Pizza was dried out. Pasta dried out ... no utensils upon delivery. ...
Today the pizza tasted old but usually its spot on and my favorite by far
Nice flat pizza - very good.
They have good pizza when sober or drunk.
From nyc, was skeptical but this pizza i really really good.
Really good food, generous portions, extra fresh. This was a great find.
Probably one of the best pizza places in Albany
Best NY style pizza in upstate NY.Period.
Its hard to mess up pizza, this place does not mess up pizza.
Competes with madison pizza but albany pizza not especially fire.
Thin but still a light crunch on the bottom. The margarita pizza is to die for.
Good service, really like the stuffed meat pie!

2022-03-16Very good, hands down some of the best pizza Ive had in NY!Not too much sauce and on the sweeter but with a touch of just enough spice. Dough was incredible and tasted awesome.
Review №2
2020-02-20The pizza is delicious, thank you. The garlic knots were completely burnt....Couldnt add additional ingredients to a margherita pizza either (garlic). Still, awesome pizza!
Review №3
2022-04-16Nothing more to say then, I absolutely love Paesons Pizza. The garlic parm wings are my all time favorite. Everyone must at least try then once and after that well.....youll see!!!😋🤭👌

2022-03-19Delicious pizza as usual, although I dont think I will order extra sauce again...alittle too much, but it was still delicious! 😋
Review №5
2021-12-17GREED and grease! They make it impossible to use coupons they offered ! Now they refuse to deliver pizza using a coupon, yet the coupon does not state this. Unfortunately the price of this pizza has skyrocketed along with the grease. The service has declined also and it used to be one of our preferred places. So sad !

2021-05-06I have visited this place many times before and I have received good service and a friendly atmosphere. My recent visit I had the special which is 2 cheese slices and a can of soda. While the slices were hot and fresh, it was also oily as you could see the pooling oil on top of the cheese. It was all most dripping off the slices, and the cheese was in part sliding off of the crust. I chose not to say anything that evening as it was a difficult day as it was, and I just didnt want to compound it by complaining to the management. In my experience this is not the norm for this place, but I do think more attention needs to be paid to prevent that. At a cost of $6.25, I cannot say it was an enjoyable dinner. I will return as a customer as stated above, and that this is not the norm in my experience, but if it should reoccur then another place will be visited.

2021-02-13Covid is still around. Both of my parents have Covid with my mother in the hospital. I wanted to order groceries for my father and have them delivered. His ONE and ONLY request was could I order him some frozen pizza’s from Paesan’s?! Of course I said yes. I ordered him 5 pizzas to start. ( Since I know the pies are so amazing I was afraid if I ordered 10 he would only eat all 10 pies.) I will order another five next week. The fact that my father feeling awful and the only thing he wanted was Paesan’s pizza’s speaks volumes. The pies taste like a slice straight out of a pizza oven. The sauce you can tell is homemade. The dough they perfected!! You are truly missing out if you don’t order Paesan’s frozen pizza’s. They are great presents to give to family members too! Absolutely Delicious every time!!

2020-04-29Make sure that you order these famous frozen pizzas. They are the perfect size, are super easy to cook, and taste like a legit NY pie (coming from a born and bred new yorker). High heat oven, 9 minutes and you will be good to go. Thank you Frank!

2019-05-20Great slice for 20 years. Started eating pizza here during college, still cant get enough.Glad to say that they have maintained their quality all these years.The pies are large, 18across. The crust is just right, not too crisp, not too chewy. I usually just get plain cheese; their sauce is great.The sauce also goes great with pasta, try the stuffed shells or ravioli, you will not regret it.Still popular among college students, so it will get crowded on weekend nights.No frills place, pizza by the slice on a paper plate is their biggest seller.
