DC's Pizza & Catering comes in as a 2-star experience, falling short in several key areas despite being serviceable in a pinch. Crust & Taste The crust is uninspired and inconsistent, lacking crispness or character. Flavor overall is flat, with sauce and cheese failing to stand out or complement each other in any memorable way. Value & Appearance While pricing is generally in line with local pizzerias, the value doesn't quite match the quality. Slices and pies are basic in appearance and presentation, with nothing that draws you back visually or taste-wise. Parking Located along Western Ave, parking can be hit or miss, depending on time of day. It's manageable, but not especially convenient. Cleanliness The interior is adequately clean, though it feels dated and lacks the polished or welcoming feel you'd hope for when dining in. Service Service is average at best--not rude, but not particularly attentive or engaging. Orders are handled routinely without much customer interaction. Overall: DC's Pizza & Catering is edible but forgettable--fine if you're nearby and need a quick bite, but not a spot you'd seek out or recommend over other local options. read more

Great customer service when ordering food at the location. The sub was great. This place was suggested that they have the best subs around which made its mark. I can agree it's be one of the best chicken finger subs I've come across. Loved the bread. Small location but just enough space to park and pick up your food. Will definitely recommend if you're looking for a good hoagie. read more

BAD FOOD * BAD FOOD *BAD FOOD TRY WESTGATE PIZZA BELLA, GREAT WINGS, PIZZA - very good deals and coupons, box coupons for free pizza. OPEN TIL 2am! Re: $130 order, 50 slippery disgusting wiggly soggy skin wings that looked boiled, missing food, no receipt, no reasonable solution After having bad food in the past we stopped ordering from DC's for years. 12/2 we received bad food, missing food, no receipt, no napkins and no reasonable apologetic solution! I spoke to the owner about missing 8 ct mozzarella sticks and uncooked skin in an order of 50 wings. They were disgusting, slimy, and uneatable. Definitely far from crispy wings we ordered. I also mentioned we didn't have a receipt. I told him I called last night after the delivery and no one answered. He said he didn't have to give a receipt. He told me we received the mozzarella sticks. We did not. Proof on ring bell! He said they don't do anything unless you return the food, yet I told him they didn't answer when I called back and when I ordered the woman said it would be their last order. He said that was "A GAMBLE" we took when we "ordered before they closed". He offered $25 for a future purchase. Then he tried to give a $50 credit which was less than the soggy slippery skinned wings and the missing mozzarella sticks. We won't be trusting the food here ever again! At this time, Westgate Pizza Bella has amazing wings and great Pizza with annual discount deals and better prices. I told him I have pics of the bad wings and proof of no mozz sticks on ring! (Posted on Google) He did not express he cared. I told him he must get complaints all the time. I felt he did not care about our experience at all or that his business took money for uneatable and missing food. There was no apology or sincere promise to make things right. His concern was keeping our money! When I said I needed to do a review and post his response he replied --if you post anything, you're definitely not getting credit. I'm thinking no future credit is a favor to my family! I let him know the money doesn't matter to us. The aftermath and his response does. He earned a dispute with our credit card company, Better Business Bureau complaint, and an online review with pictures. NOTE: for $130+ No napkins, plates, Cups, 3 small Ken's blue cheese dressing and few celery bits.NOT enough for 50 wings even if we could eat them. PICTURES SAY MORE THAN WORDS! read more

I order from DC's minimally once a week and sometimes a couple times a week. The menu is vast, choices pretty much cover whatever you might be craving. Their pizza is excellent as are their wings. Subs, specialty sandwiches are excellent. Appetizers delicious. Delivery is fast and courteous. 5 stars read more

Great food and service we always come back. They are quick and convenient takeout solid every time

This was always our favorite pizza when we lived in Albany. When we visit we always have to have one.

This place has pretty decent vegan pizza, which is sometimes hard to find in this area. The crust is yummy and filling. It's definitely worth a try! read more

Too many mistakes. I will say that they have terrific pizza. That is the good part. However, they frequently make mistakes in food prep. For example we recently ordered meat ravioli. We stipulated not to put any cheese on the top. The order arrived (there were also other items in the order) and the ravioli had cheese on it. We had ordered using an app called "Slice". We called Slice customer service who said they would investigate and get back to us. We said we wanted a refund as everyone else was now eating their meals. Slice contacted the restaurant who said they don't issue refunds but would remake the order and expedite delivery. We were not at all happy with that resolution since everybody else was already eating their meals and it wasn't right to make the last person wait. After almost an hour the "expedited" order still had not arrived. We again contacted Slice customer service who again contacted the restaurant and the message we got was the restaurant apologizes but they got very busy. So much for expediting an order that they had messed up to begin with. That certainly should have taken precedence over new orders they might be dealing with. This was not the first time a mistake had been made by this restaurant. In the past parts of our orders have been missing for example . Also when you view their restaurant on the Slice app the restaurant always indicates an approximate delivery time. Without fail when you place an order you get an immediate order confirmation and then within seconds you get a follow up email that says the restaurant is very busy and delivery will be delayed beyond the initial time listed in the app. This is something that happens every single time we place an order with this restaurant so it would appear that they are intentionally listing a relatively short delivery time as enticement for you to place an order with them and without fail they extend the delivery time once you place it. This situation is disappointing since without the mistakes the food is very good but their no refund policy and lack of follow up to take care of orders that they have made mistakes on has caused us to decide not to order from them again. Which is unfortunate for both us and the restaurant. read more

Seriously? Ordered a 24 cut pizza with all Pepperoni and half sausage. it was an online order so very clear. The pizza only had half pepperonI and very skimpy with toppings. Not only that, it was only partially cut by the width. It was not cut length wise. will not be going back. Do Better! read more

DC's Pizza & Catering - Please cut your pizza and read the order to get toppings right. - Pizza Near Me - Albany, New York

I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap for lunch with no onions. I picked it up and drove back to my office to find out it was filled with tons of red onions, so I couldn't eat it. When I notified the owner of the issue he said I could bring it back and he'd remake it, but my lunch break was over and I couldn't go back. The order was placed through their website so there is no excuse for making it incorrectly, and customer service was terrible when I just wanted my money back. These guys don't make orders correct and don't seem to understand how a half hour lunch break works. Stay away! read more

A mouth filling sensation of deliciousness. AKA Umami and all pizza should have it, but precious few actually do (learn more here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15819485 ) That is what I got when I took my first bite into this Pizza. Holy crap was that tasty. The crust was a bit thick for my preference, but now that I know how good this stuff is, I can't wait until Passover is done so I can go back in for a proper slice. My thought is that when it's thrown back in the hot hot oven, the bottom crust will crisp up nicely and it may very well be the best pizza I've had in the area. On a personal note, I appreciate how haphazard the place looks on the inside. To say it's nothing fancy is a gross exaggeration. It's a bit bigger than a hole in the wall, but it is all perfectly appropriate for the place. Oddly, the only thing out of place was the super friendly attitude behind the counter. What gives? Probably they are just giddy about just how good their pizza tastes. read more

MICE RUNNING AROUND ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!! MICE RUNNING AROUND ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!! MICE RUNNING AROUND ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!! MICE RUNNING AROUND ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!! I went here accidentally on my way to another establishment (Thanks Siri). While on the side of their building waiting for my order (from another place) my headlights were shining through their display window. I then saw a mouse run across from one side of the display case to the other. I tell my husband, who looks up and is horrified. I then see another one pop out from behind a clear plastic menu holder. I believe there was a third as well but can't be certain as it is possible it ran across again. This is absolutely unacceptable, a health hazard, and disgusting. I will be contacting the health department but I implore anyone whos reading this please go somewhere/anywhere where your food won't be infested with droppings. read more

To say the least, I am very picky about my pizza. Everything has to be good from the sauce to the dough to the toppings. DC's pizza is my go to place for perfect pizza. I drive twenty minutes into Albany to get my pizza from DC's when I have several pizza joints in my area. None compare so it is well worth the drive. My personal favorite is the square pizza with a thicker crust. Love the veggie pizza because they onions and peppers are sliced think and cooked. Hate hunks of barely cooked veggies on my pizza. Highly recommend read more

Yuck!!! Pizza slices were old and dry. I don't even usually go the review route but it's annoying when you waste your hard earned money on crap. I didn't even finish the first slice and ended up throwing the other slice out. Really wish I could leave no stars. read more

Chicken parmigiana sub was amazing !!!!! I would definitely order it again from this place

My one star rating is do to the fact that they charge so much for wings. I don't mind paying almost 20 dollars for 10 wings because they are good. my problem is my last 5 orders of wings have either been missing the extra sauce that they charge you for or no sauce on the wings. I just don't understand when you tell them on the phone the way you want your food and it continues never to be right. please fix these issues or I will take my business elsewhere. read more

The food delivered to my room mate and me was abundant and delish!! We were happily surprised by the quantity and enjoyed the food for a few meals. read more

This is the best place I have seen so for for Itailian food. There prices are reasonable and the food is always good and hot.

Came in at dinner time, ordered over the phone, while I stood outside. I Ordered a large cheese with mushrooms for $21 (yikes). Spoke to the cashier directly (masked) at the door--she said it would be 15 minutes and she'd bring the pizza out front. 45 minutes later she pokes her head out. "Did you order a mushroom pizza?" I said "Yes. Did it just come out". She answers "Yes". I'm handed a pizza that was luke warm--likely sitting on a counter or wherever they sit pizzas. I'm not given paper plates or napkins--no apology for the pizza being 30 minutes late. I'm reasonable--20 or 25 minutes--I can accept 10 extra minutes. An extra half hour because the staff forgot to poke their head out the door--Nah--not going back. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Most other places that tell me 15 minutes for a pizza have the pizza in my hands, hot from the oven so I have to let it cool to bite it etc--pretty standard pizza restaurant behavior. No they were not overly busy. Most reviews on the google site for this pizza restaurant have the manager replying and explaining things to customers who cited problems. Glad to see replies from the manager but I'm beginning to think that all customer complaints are pretty pertinent. I'd just go elsewhere and get yourself a hot pizza at a better price (all the other places aren't jacking prices up wildly due to "Covid". Certainly at $21 one should get a HOT pizza and if it's running 30 minutes late-perhaps an apology --a free drink? I was sitting out in front of the building just a few feet from the front door. The food was late so I don't want to read that I'm nowhere to be found. I sat where I told her I'd be, as directed by the store's covid policy. UPDATE: The manager did reply below. I'm glad.Still it seems the staff should have a pretty automatic "reflexive" response to bumps with orders, food delivery or concerns. I'd just train them to simply respond when somethings bumpy with an apology and some small gesture of compensation. Had the woman simply said -- I'm really sorry I forgot, or I'm really sorry we got behind I'd be fine. Had she offered a drink or something extra (automatically) I'd have been happier. read more

I love this pizza place!!! They are so consistent with quality and service. The deep dish pizza is a favorite in our house! But even if we just grab a simple six cut it is cooked perfectly! Wings are good we just order sauce on side so they stay crispy. They are always our go to and if we go astray we usually regret it! read more

ordered the pizza dinner special, a large cheese pizza and 10 garlic parm wings for $24 and the pizza was great! thin crust and if you like sweeter sauce like i do, you will like this! i ordered the wings extra crispy and they were delicious and came with more wings then drumsticks which i appreciated, garlic parm sauce was buttery/garlicky and not too saucy. read more

We've ordered from DC's on multiple occasions and haven't had problems prior to tonight. We recieved the wrong order over an hour late. When we called the woman on the phone was short with us and rude. They delivered the correct order almost 3 hours later. The delivery driver was loud and very rude to my partner and demanded the wrong order back. We gave the order back and the delivery driver left whispering obscenities under his breath. When I went to eat my food there was a hair in it. Ultimately I waited almost 4 hours for a subpar meal. Horrible service; very disappointing. read more

nice people great food ! Delivery was pretty fast pizza was great the ziti wasn't warm but once I put it in the oven it tasted great the only thing was the operator kept putting me on hold to talk to other customers Overall I would definitely recommend read more

I stopped in for pizza the other day when i walked in there was a employee playing the guitar at first i didn't know if i was in the pizza store or open mic show so i ordered my pizza while i was waiting the employee was asking me if i wanted him to play me song it felt i little bit weird that he wanted to play me a song and he was a little pushy i just wanted to get my pizza and go I'm if i wanted to go back it gave me a bad feeling about the whole thing read more

Food truck at State Campus. Ordered a chef salad for $8.00. Pretty good size, looked like alot of romaine, no iceburg. That was good. But when I opened the container most of the ham still had the black skin on it and the cheese was liquified! You know like if you had a left over sub with American cheese and after a day the cheese is soft and looks like mayo. Obviously not fresh! Threw it away, no more DC's! read more

I end up trying this place every few months with a hope it has gotten better. I mean I do see people going in and ordering pizza from time to time. I think to myself, "Hey maybe I was there on an off day, I should give them another try". Now we at the point where my optimism dies and is replaced by regret and disappointment. DC Pizza secret recipe. 1 part marginal service 1 part stale pizza from a hot box Honestly the only good thing about this place is the outdoor seating but that doesn't really get any points from me because there is no indoor seating. Bottom line: There is no reason to eat pizza here when Luigi's Deli is next store and Bello Pranzo is two doors down. read more

Just old school pizza.... Albany is a tough town for Pizza.... Cheap slices has made our city a desert for quality cheese and fresh pizza. I drive 10 miles each way to get my Pizza at DC's. The cheese reminds me of the pies I got as a kid on Long Island. The Pizza is always ready and hot when I get there. My kids love the buffalo wings and the meatballs too. It's nice to go to a place where the owner is behind the counter and the employees are familiar faces. read more

OMG That's good! I've had many items from the menu (all takeout) and this is by far the best Eggplant Parmigiana I have found in the Capital Region. The portions are super and the staff is friendly. The only advice I would give is to remind the staff that when packing your order to PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON TOP OF MY EGGPLANT (it makes the cheesy deliciousness stick to the top and looks unappetizing but don't worry if this does happen...it's still wonderfully delicious! read more

Stopped in Albany on our way from Detroit to NH and ordered pizza and salad on a whim. Such a pleasant surprise. The antipasto salad was large, beautiful and delicious. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a crisp crisp crust and high-quality toppings. Made our night! read more

DCs is our go-to for pizza, wings, and mozz sticks with melba sauce. We've always had the best service & experience with our many orders. Would highly recommend! read more

We order from here once a week at work. The pizza is OK... There are definitely better places around but its edible and cheap. I feel the same way about their subs and salads. The boneless wings are just cut up chicken tenders which are a rip off. Delivery is hit or miss alot of times. We call the order in very early and are consistent every week yet many times they have come late. You would think they would try extra hard for a regular customer when its so easy to give your business to someone else who cares. read more

Needed something quick for lunch this week. I had heard great things about DCs so decided to try it for myself. I was not disappointed! The smell of the pizzas cooking was enough to make your mouth water. Did not get pizza but can't wait to give it a try. I had a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap. Simply delicious and filling. My friend got the turkey gobbler sub. It was large and tasty. She loved it and got two lunches. Highly recommend for takeout lunch. My better half has had the breakfast pizza and said it is phenomenal! read more

Hands down the worst pizza I had in Albany. It was flavorless, the cheese just FELL OFF the pizza. It wasn't even attached. I was embarrassed to treat my client to this. And it was soooo so so greasy. I don't usually give bad reviews like this, but this pizza was all thumbs down. read more

By far our entire family's favorite place for pizza in Albany. They also offer a variety of items such as subs, salads, pasta dinners, and deserts. There is something for everyone. Their regular and specialty pizzas never dissapoint. As well as their wings and salads. Their garlic parm wings are super crispy which is excatly how I like them. If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out! read more

I was recently in here for a couple slices after a UAlbany basketball game. I remember in grad school, this was the default place where pizza came from when the school ordered it. And it was always wonderful. Even though it was typically the 24 sqaure cut boring pies, it always seemed to be done just right. I think their sauce is really top notch. It fills the pizza out, and just plain old tastes good. The plain slices I got after the game weren't the best, but they had probably been sitting out a while. If I was going on those alone, I'd give it 3 stars. But since I've had their pizza plenty other times, it's definitely worth 4. On an aside, there is very minimal seating in the place. And their prices are extrememly reasonable. read more

Ordered cheese pizza, 10 wings,and an American mix sub from GrubHub... Total was $41 (Expensive!) and the order never actually came. Called and they basically didn't care that they absolutely screwed this up. This has happened twice at this restaurant now through GrubHub. Either it was very late or never came. Haven't had this issue with any other restaurants. They received the order and just forgot to make it but won't admit that haha... DCs Pizza has had many issues with even ordering directly from the restaurant via phone or website... Many people have mentioned this to either to myself, in reviews on Google or here on GrubHub that they have had an issue with time of delivery and/or quality of food at times being subpar compared to other pizza places in the area. All in all double thumbs down for DCs Pizza. Not quality overall service. To much of a risk to know what kind of food or service you will receive. Look elsewhere people. read more

Ordered a turkey sandwich on wheat with banana peppers, tomatoes and mustard, along with a Diet Coke, no cheese etc. Was shocked by the price of almost $12.00. I asked the cashier why the sandwich cost almost 12 dollars, he replied "Well the sandwich was 7 something, plus the soda, tax and labor". Who charges labor on a sandwich? Sounds like a scam to me. On top of it, whoever made it didn't dry the peppers off at all. My sandwich was a pile of mush. read more
