amazing pizza great service great environment 10/10. has sourdough pizza and an assortment of sandwiches and desserts

Amazing pizza!! Super accommodating and safe for allergies and of course delicious :) everything we had was great

Baba Louie's is a stalwart gem that my family has been enjoying for years but what really stood out to me, especially in these times on my most recent visit, is the outstandingly polite and attentive service. On a Monday evening in a downpour, they opened their doors early for those who came to wait before 5pm and before 6pm they were essentially full. The house red is lovely and very affordable, the salads are fresh and flavorful (we like the Insalata Allegra: mixed greens, figs, apricots, roasted pecans and our balsamic vinaigrette dressing) and the pizzas uncommonly crisp and well-balanced (we like the Queen Margherita and Cole's Creation, but there is something for every taste). I was struck by how polite and attentive the busboy was and how they have waitstaff-in-training shadow experienced staff before working themselves; this attention to staff management serves both the customers and owners well (frequent staff turnover is no one's friend). read more

We are always on the lookout for vegan options. There are a few real vegan options or items that they can adjust to be vegan. The pizza is incredible. The crust is thin and crispy. Several specialty pizzas that are truly unique. There is sourdough and regular crust. If you aren't up for pizza, they have other options. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. The restaurant is in a beautiful old building with tin ceilings and a beautiful bar. Such a great pizza place. read more

Very solid. Almost 4 starts but just not quite, but definitely a solid delicious meal. And we will go back. I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the crust and the freshness of the ingredients on the pizza. The sauce on the pizza crust was super super fresh, but needed a little extra salt or some traditional Pizza spices like basil, oregano, and garlic. There was just almost not taste to the sauce except the tomato. The salad was enormous and that was the small, ingredients super fresh. Dressing was the vinaigrette which I loved the texture and thickness and the vinegar taste, but again needed some salt and seasoning to really make the ingredients shine. I love the freshness of the ingredients but they tend to shy away from spices and seasoning which would make their food jump. Place was clean and a cute old bar type feel. We will definitely be back to try more yums. read more

In town for a wedding and we were looking for some good healthy, and delicious, food around 7:30om. We walked into Baba Louie and they were happy to have us (with closing at 8pm) and we were quickly waited on and served. The small Caesar salad was enough for 2, and the half and half barbecue chicken and pepperoni pizza was LIGHTS OUT good! As we were wrapping up our waitress asked if we would like some desert, and I just wanted a whole other pizza simply because it was that delicious! It has a nice, homey atmosphere where you feel like the locals hang out. Delicious food, excellent service, we will be back read more

Nothing outstanding here. Walked in quarter to 2 with two for lunch. Not very busy. Took almost 20 minutes to put our order in (two pizzas and two waters). My friend got an autumn-harvest type which left much to be desired. Very little flavor and the sweet potato was undercooked and had a curry flavor which wasnt listed on the description. My pizza was fine, but nothing to write home about. Added prosciutto which ended up being an extra $3. For the two small pizzas, it was $38 for lunch. Seems a bit steep for inauthentic, undercooked crust. Not really sure what the hype is.... Maybe we came on an odd day? read more

Laid back and casual dining with old school Hudson city vibe. Very friendly service. Great variety on the menu, with gluten free and vegan options . I had the Vegetazione Bravo pizza on gluten free dough, which is house made and sourdough, delicious! My husband had the Pomodoro Bianco pizza. We split a simple house salad that was plenty for both of us, a nice pile of fresh greens with balsamic dressing. One side note, if you want something vegan make sure you stress also dairy free, I've had a couple of mishaps that were quickly and courteously corrected. All in all a good value and I recommend for casual date nite or family outings. read more

Baba Louies - Green salad - Pizza Near Me - Hudson, New York

Third time here. Now serving indoors, mask free for vaxxed people. Food is still excellent, but prices have gone up about 18%. Maybe I shouldn't give such high praise? I, again, had the Dolce Vita pizza, and ordered two more pizzas to go. The bill had a 20% tip already added (which is a little presumptuous) and was calculated on the total including the two take out pizzas. I don't know anybody that tips 20% on a to go order, so I thought that was out of line. read more

Fantastic!!! Called in for a pick up order and every item was delicious! Salad, wings, and pizza were all spectacular. This is not your "American" pizza. This is very very thin, Italian style pizza. Loved it!!! read more

Bbq chicken pizza was off the chain when I went there a few years ago. Service was really good.

The worst service I have ever experienced. They refused to serve me a drink despite the fact that I am 23 and I have been served here multiple times in the past. They did not scan my ID and after I asked if they could get someone to check it they rudely refused. The server/assistant manager kept looking at our table and glaring throughout our dinner. They did not bring enough salad plates and did not check in on us at any point through our meal. They then did not give us exact change for our check. read more

Food was excellent. Sat outside and enjoyed Warren street. Definitely try the BBQ chicken pizza!

Quality that is fairly consistent. Large lush and imaginative salads. Attention to detail (when dining in) ... separate clean plates for starter vs main meal. Cold plates for salad, hot plates for pizza, etc. Sourdough fire-cooked pizzas that are comforting, fresh ingredients, solid friendly efficient staff. A real treat to eat at & have in Hudson, NY. read more

Average pizza and good service but... we were a party of 4 and the tip was added without informing us. We would've tipped more but I assumed they were adamant about that particular amount so I left it as is. Strange to add that and not tell the customer. A tip is for good service and up to the customer or traditionally added to large parties with notification. Maybe it was on the menu but 4 people missed that so not clear. Pizza was good and crispy but I did order it well done so it would be. Had nachos for the table and it was mainly a plate of salty chips, not much chicken or cheese and no joke just a sprinkle of pico de gallo. Salad with bruschetta toast was odd- it was tomatoes on soggy wheat bread, the bread you'd normally get with a breakfast. Overall it's a touristy restaurant not a serious pizza place. read more

Arrived around noon and had to wait 40 minutes for a table but it was worth it. Great pizza and even better service. For four people we had three large pizzas and a small pizza, and started with the small Greek salad. It was the perfect amount of food for us, although we do travel with a seemingly permanently hungry teenager. Plenty of shops to peruse in the area while you wait for a table. The only negative was that we had the table next to the door at the front and it was very busy as people came in to check on tables, and on showcase to people waiting outside. We were able to close the shade, so that helped. All in all a great experience. The kids loved it. read more

This is the to go to spot right now! Love how they did precaution for Covid. Currently, they are doing curbside pick up. You give them the credit card information over the phone when you order. The girl was super friendly and let me know it would be ready around 30mins. I built my own pizza got pepperoni and mushroom. She said if I want basil. I love basil so I had to say yes of course. I brought the pizza home, by the time I had the pizza it was cold but it was still so good. The pizza is layered with pepperoni, garlic gives it a kick and basil adds extra flavor. I couldn't wait to finish all my meal because I had to write how good it was. I wish I can bring it back with me to nyc! I will be coming back for more. Probably will try the basil or pesto next too. The price is pretty good too $14 for a large and I had pasta craving so I got a children pasta. Pasta is okay, I wish it had cheese or more cheese. Maybe the adult one is different. It was a good price too. I regret not getting 2 larges! read more

Cool atmosphere in a cool little city. Baba Louie's is on the main drag (Warren Street) and has a quaint feel inside. This is probably listed as a pizza place but don't go in expecting a traditional slice. Their wood fired pizzas are of a gourmet variety and most items on menu are a bit eclectic. We had nachos for an app and they were good but not excellent. We had two small pizzas, I had bbq chicken with red onion and bbq sauce. My wife had one with goat cheese and dates. Both were amazing for our individual palates and made of top shelf ingredients. The crust was the star being crisp and tasty. A nice beer offering rounded out the menu. Service was decent and it was just a cool place to enjoy dinner. read more

Came back here with my sis and her fam for sourdough good and healthier! Got the anchovy mix, prosciutto mix and margherita with a nice Argentinian Malbec finished with tiramisu and creme brûlée. All delicious and flavorful! Best part was wonderful service by Nancy and other ladies! Glad we found a reliable yummy family friendly pizza spot in the area. See you all soon! read more

Honestly the best part of our meal was the pear Gorgonzola walnut salad, would def recommend! The pizza is great too!

Excellent thin crust pizza and salads. Large portions and very affordable. Many interesting variations of both. Service is wonderful..

It was a long weekend getaway for us. We stopped by this pizzeria since it was walking distance from our B&B. This is a family friendly restaurant. We didn't have a reservation. However, the host was nice to find a table for us. The ingredients on the pizza were fresh. The tomato sauce was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent pizza and will go back. Nice staff. Only 4 stars right now because I was told to pick it up in 20 mins and it was clear the pizza had been done for some time. Got to the hotel 3 blocks away and it was ice cold pizza. So when I go back and dine in I may update to a 5 star. read more

I love this place! They have unique, delicious pizzas and excellent service. This is my new favorite restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try the other pizzas on their menu. read more

Have dined here twice. The first time we had no problem and the food was good. The second time, while the food was fine - the service was horrible and I will not return. My husband and I each ordered a salad to go with the pizza we would share. Pizza and salad - get it?! Well, we got our salads. Began eating. Continued eating. More eating. No pizza. And someone other than our server brought us our check. No pizza?! I asked. Oh? You wanted pizza? Let me check.....yeah it's coming. Too late. We were annoyed and took it to go. Had our server ever bothered to check on us, I wouldn't be so angry. He didn't. There are plenty of awesome places in Hudson to eat. This isn't one of them, if you want great service. It's a shame - because the food is good. read more

Great meal with excellent prices. Menu focuses on pizza and salad with daily specials. Known for their sourdough crust. We ordered the homemade gluten free crust-very tasty, almost like the regular crust. Ordered a "small" salad to start and share with 1 other person. Its HUGE. Easily could have been shared with 3-4 people as an app. Simple and fun atmosphere. Not to trendy like many Hudson restaurants. Easy, casual meal. read more

Best pizza in Columbia county the hours are a little bit erratic and they don't let you pick up on sundays but there's not really much competition around here this pizza is spectacular. My only complaint is that the cheese is a bit bland. Definitely give it a try. read more

Amazing service and fun/DELICIOUS pizza! I can't believe how crispy and thin their dough is. The service is super friendly. We actually ended up here instead of another well rated pizza shop down the street because they were so rude. Baba Louies was happy to seat our large 9 person party and the kids were SO happy. Draft beer, good pizza (recommend the prosciutto one), and great vibe. What more can you ask for? read more

I heard so much about this place. I travelled a long way to eat here. Walked in, everyone was plastered with sweat and fanning themselves. So I walked out. I understand it's a hot day. But it's also July of 2019 In New York and air conditioning has got to be part of your day to day business plan during the summer months. It was hotter inside the restaurant than it was on the street. Short term solutions: -OPEN THE DOOR and let the air flow. -go to Walmart and buy some fans. -do something. Long term solution: Install proper air conditioning that takes into consideration that you are operating a wood burning stove. Every coffee shop and restaurant I visited in Hudson was pleasant to sit in and was cool and comfortable. Except the place I specifically came to eat at. Very disappointing. I don't know when I will be able to return to Hudson NY again but I will still give it another shot. I hear the food is absolutely incredible. But I'm not gonna sit in a pool of my own sweat and be waited on by visibly damp and sweating staff to find out. I hope their management realizes this is not a good way to do business. read more

I've only ever had the pizza, and I don't need anything else! The pizza here is amazing! A thin wood fired crust topped with fresh ingredients. The Melenzana Cardinale is by far my favorite, but any of the pizzas are worth a try! Take out or eat in, any way you slice it, this place is fantastic! read more

"The Sourdough Crust" is a must try at this place. While browsing the main street on Hudson, I came across Baba Louies and upon reading the menu off the window, The Sourdough Crust is what made me step inside. The atmosphere was very inviting with seating available outside if you are waiting for a table. We were fortunate enough to get one as soon as we entered. There was no specific host, the servers were the hosts themselves. Good enough. But problem is no communication between them. Two different servers brought over 2 glasses of water, one for myself and one for my mom. So by now my table was almost covered with 4 glasses of just water and yet no menu. 10 mins later the one who seated us realized that we didn't have a menu and she brought one over. Anyways, we placed an order for soup of the day as a starter which was tomato and barley. It was very watered down and bland. Would not recommend it. Since we wanted to try it we ordered a cup to be tasted between my mom and I. Even after a couple of requests for an additional soup spoon we weren't provided with one. For the pizza, we ordered a Baba Louie's Queen Margharita and then another which we asked to be created with veggies. Both of those did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly made crisp to our liking. One thing I would suggest is if you prefer to eat a minor portion then the small size pizza is good enough for 2 people. I am taking 1 star away just for the mishaps in service. Overall if I ever go back there I would take the pizza to go and enjoy it at the Harbor view park. read more

This place is great. It can get very busy, but it's worth the wait. The service is very hit or miss but the food is excellent. Obviously try the pizza. I had soup too which was a little bit salty, but that's not why I was there. Check out the specials board for pizzas, and give one a try. read more

Supposedly Baba is famous around town. My girlfriend and I stopped here after a long day hiking and enjoy the walks around town. We had stopped here for an early dinner before it got packed and it filled up quick during dinner hours! We had the date night special 2 pizza pies for $22 which seems very reasonable. The pie was more then enough for 1 person and had some left overs to go. The beer selection was good, it had a couple local brewers in town. The pizza was delicious! Thin crest, full of flavor. Be sure to get here early or make reservations. read more

Had the Hanna jo and dolce half and half pizza on spelt crust. Great ingredients and was great pizza. Decent size pizza as well I ate an store large pie solo over the course of a few hours. Yeah it was good. read more

I ate at baba louies with some regularity for over a decade despite their uninspired pizza but the last time I ate there the waitress was beyond rude to me and my sister. She was actually rude enough that I wrote an email to the management because I thought that they should know. I never heard back so they've lost a customer. read more

Good place for pizza and salad . Had the Margarita pizza and Greek salad . Like the walled off ( cubicles ) table areas , old Italian restaurant interior. read more

Very annoying. Website is unclear that on Thursdays it doesn't open until 4!! We were not alone in frustration. Another couple who we did not know was also there and annoyed that it was not open. Please clarify website hours!! read more

The individual salads are enormous and delightful, the pizza was delicious and crispy. And they offer San Pellegrino, of which I'm an addict lately. But the devil is in the details - they bring a cold plate for your salad, a warm plate for your pizza. Such a great touch. I love when someone knows I want something before I do!! still lovin on Baba's! read more

I popped into Baba Louies on a cold rainy Saturday and I'd say it was a pretty good idea. It was warm and toasty inside and borderline packed. Fortunately, we were seated right away and didn't have a problem with the service at all, though it was a full house. I created my own pizza, which I probably wouldn't do again. I found the crust to be thin and tough. They're known for their sourdough pizza crust, but I just wasn't a fan. I wasn't a fan of the sauce either. It tasted like bowling alley pizza sauce, to me. A salad was also ordered at the table that was humongous. Literally, pilled on top of itself. But it received great reviews!. The winner of lunch was definitely the half tuna sandwich with the mixed greens side salad. The tuna was cold and the pumpernickel bread was warm! Also, they have wine and beer, and the bathrooms were clean, always a plus! read more
