De Fazio's

Honestly I don't know how I feel about this one. Went here because Dave Portnoy gave it an 8.2. Turned out to be more of a high 6 - low 7. Pizza dough was a bit raw in the thick crust. Toooo cheesy and less sauce. Edges were burnt so couldn't eat some slices till the end, and on top of all that it was really greasy to the point we had to eat it with a knife and fork because it was unpickable. After leaving it to cool down a bit, it did get better but still a bit disappointing. Wouldn't say this is the best pizza in Albany at all. On top of all this the outdoor seating just wasn't it. Sooo many bugs and flies coming to ur food while eating and the Parmesan on the table tasted funky :(

Grabbed a pepperoni pizza on their gluten free crust. Proportions of everything was balanced— ratio of sauce to cheese to crust. As delicious as I remember in my pre-Celiac diagnosis days. Great gluten free crusts are hard to come by. De Fazio’s was good and closer to a pan-style crust than hand-tossed. Very happy with it and did not get sick afterward!

After a 3 hour drive from NYC thinking about nothing but the renowned pizza I'm finally going to try, imagine my disappointment when I was told they're not taking any new pizza orders for another two hours 🙃 Well good thing De Fazio isn't a one trick pony, because pizza isn't the only thing they do well. We had pasta they made just that morning - I could taste the dough being kneaded. And their Hangover Cake... it is the most moist, soft concentration of Italian dessert flavor. Of course there were leftovers because they don't skimp on the portion size, and of course we are eating them for dinner. I will come back to try the pizza if it's the last thing I do.

Recommended by a friend weeks ago, then happened to be in town the day after the barstool visit and review, so they were slammed. Despite this and the hot and humid weather, the staff was super friendly. We had the cheese and sausage, peppers, and onion. Very tasty. My dad, who doesn’t like most pizza, even his own, said it was the best he has had in years. Also got a cannoli and the hangover cake to try. I got a tip to call Monday morning when they open and was able to put in an order for dinner easy peasy.
