9. Nico's Pizzeria

First of all, it is important to make a distinction between Nicoâs Pizzeria and Nicoâs Rooftop Tavern. They both share the same address and phone number, and possibly the same kitchen. But one is head and shoulders above the other⦠literally! And that would be the Tavern because it is on the floor above the Pizzeria, and of course, the Rooftop is still one more level up. If youâre looking for pizza slices or maybe a pizza to-go, the pizzeria on the ground floor is your place. If you want a full bar, a menu including a variety of pub foods, table service, and maybe a DJ spinning sounds, head on up the narrow staircase to the 2nd floor. The open sky can be found above a dozen tables still one further level up on the roof of the building.Our party of five was happy to score one of those dozen tables on the roof. Not just because it was a beautiful warm evening, but because the music in the tavern below was so loud that we would not have been able to carry on a conversation.Our group was here to sample a planned menu that has carried us from tavern to tavern throughout the Capital Region for over two years - wings, mozzarella sticks with Melba sauce, pizza, and wash it all down with good beer. And that was where we met our first hurdle.Beer is not sold by the pitcher at Nicoâs. Our server asked if we were going have a bucket. Apparently, that was a special that evening. We inquired what was available on draft and as our server went through the underwhelming list of fifteen, we decided upon pints of Ithaca Flower Power IPA, primarily because it was the only craft beer on draft.Our first order of wings were ordered with a hot sauce and tasted very good. They were still hot when served, the chicken on the flats was juicy, but a bit dry on the drumsticks. The hot sauce was not too hot, the only significant problem was that two of the ten wings were missing.The mozzarella sticks were pretty basic. Weâve had both better and worse. The Melba sauce was decent, it had a nice flavor and a good viscosity. For our first pizza we got what we call our âSteve N.â It is a New York style red sauce with mozzarella, ham, bacon, and jalapeños. It should be noted that their âsmallâ 6 slice pizza is not that small if you are eating other things. The crust at the edge of the pizza is very thick. It has a good flavor and requires a fair amount of chewing. Overall, the toppings were adequate but did not extend more than halfway from the center of the pie toward the edges. It was otherwise an enjoyable pizza.While we were enjoying the âSteve Nâ, we ordered another round of Flower Power, more wings with hot sauce and extra crispy, and one of their Sicilian Style pizzas. At this point we also informed our server that we had been shorted two wings in the first order.In order to maximize our opportunity to sample more pizza toppings, we asked that half the Sicilian have sausage, onions, and peppers, and the other half be their chicken parmigiana topping. It took quite a long time for this order to be received. Both the wings and the pizza must have sat for awhile before coming to our table because both were only warm. The Sicilian is a huge square pizza cut into 12 slices. The end crusts are even thicker than what we had on the New York style â especially the corner slices. I did not find the chicken parm to be very tasty. Too much cheese and not enough chicken. The mozzarella didnât taste like or have a consistency like I was expecting. It was almost creamy in texture. The sausage was nothing special, and the onions and peppers were likely added raw after the pizza was removed from the oven.Our server was pleasant and accommodating to our special requests. The unique draw of Nicoâs may be either the open sky rooftop dining, or the Mug Club that they describe on their web page. Some of the appetizer items are huge portions for a mere $6. Our group will continue onward.

Slices of pie were huge and delicious. We were attending a family event nearby and were really hungry. One of the locals suggested Visco's and I'm glad they did! Looked like they did a lot of take out orders and delivery. Not too many people coming in to eat (only a few tables). Service was fast and they had us cracking up while we waited for the pizza.

This place primarily does take out and delivery , but they have several tables in front, plus a few picnic tables out on the sidewalk. For our particular situation , it was handy , but we would probably no go back. Service was good, but pizza was mediocre at best. Flavorless dough. Skimpy toppings.

5. Giovanni's Pizza

Giovanni's is a local favorite. Their pizza, subs, and salads are tasty and at a very reasonable price. While being a sit in or take out place (almost fast food style), the food definitely tastes homemade!

Our three generation family group met here for dinner recently. Everyone found something on the menu but our gluten-sensitive family member struggled. Food was not exceptional, but everyone enjoyed their choice. we had a couple of small service glitches like a caffeine-bearing cola and a root beer being refilled in the wrong glasses and served to the wrong persons but otherwise it was fine.

This place had a dozen or more pizas to choose from for a quick slice. Lots of unique pizza options, some had pasta toppings which I found unique and several people in my group tried and loved. Great place for a group to eat because it offered lots of options. Looking forward to trying some more of their unique pizza options.

I live in Schenectady and there are many pizza places. If you like white broccoli with garlic pizza this is the place to go. I love this pizza and it's always consistent. Try it. You won't be sorry. I have it twice a month.

Recently we ordered take out pizza for my family. It is now my new favorite pizza place. The dough, sauce and cheese were perfect! Plus the price is good and they have a card that you can accumulate points on. With so many pizza places nearby, it is easy to get into a rut and order from the same place all the time. Marcellas was close to our family gathering, so we chose them. Now we will go there again. Everybody loved their pizza.
