Went right when they opened. Had hot fresh pizza. Many options to choose from. They were busy for just opening on a weekday. High recommend and will return when i am back in town. $9 fir a soda and 2 large pizza slices that were full of toppings. read more

Burnt my fries, cheese are not stretchy at all, cold and fries are soggy. Terrible experience

Kind of a unique walk in order and either sit and eat or take it and go. Nice selection of pre made pizzas and a full menu of salads and sandwiches for you to choose from. Nice seating concept with booth, tables and bar stool seating. Outdoor patio as well but not in this winter weather. They even have a faux fireplace and wall mounted tv. Friendly helpful staff as well and delivery to the table after you order. read more

Really nice pizza and open on Memorial Day when a lot of other pizza places were closed. We enjoyed a variation of their white pizza and their meat lovers pie for a pizza party with friends. Their Mediterranean salad was also great. Because our order exceeded a certain amount we got free garlic knots too- sorry I forgot the exact amount but we spent around $50 on everything. Nice dine in atmosphere. Our pizzas were made to order and took about 20 minutes, which was reasonable. Not the best pizza I've ever had but definitely decent, made quick and a nice ordering and waiting experience. Free coffee and tea while you wait. read more

For the life of me I can't understand how they can afford the rent on Wolf Rd let alone the money they spent on renovations but their prices aren't bad so good for them. The pizza is decent for a late nite slice. Buffalo Chicken was actually better than a lot of other spots in the area but I didn't really care for the Supreme. Cheese was alright but not what you would find in NYC. The interior looks nice, service was quick, and there's plenty of room to eat in. read more

Amazing food. Fresh ingredients. They really know what they are doing here all the way down to the desserts. Great staff. All halal ingredients and feel good eats! I can almost guarantee there is nothing that a person will try and it be inedible. Once you order from here it will become a place you will want to go often. Only place ever I have everrated 5 stars. And I'd do it again. Also, great customer service as well. 11/10. If you haven't been here. You must go! read more

Awesome restaurant, solid pizza, great array of slices, friendly staff, always clean, and consistently good. You could put this place on the streets of manhattan and it would belong. Just a good standard slice of NY pizza. I'd be here all the time if it were in my neighborhood! read more

Located easily off a busy Wolf road, parking lot in back. I literally only had a couple of slices and a soda but- service, atmosphere and pizza was stellar! Chill, clean, modern vibe. Indoor-outdoor seating as well as a variety of seating options from barstools,booths, tables and living room arrangement. Great tasting and quality ingredients! Only criticism is they didn't heat slices sufficiently so I asked them to reheat- no problem. Also no ice or cups as there is no fountain drinks. Decent prices- 2 slices and a can of soda$8.98 and 1 slice is plenty! I will define back! read more

Very good upstate NY pizza! I would like to give them 3.5 stars but I'm rounding it up to 4 because Yelp doesn't have 1/2 star ratings. Is it the best in the area? No! It does the job though. The service is friendly, they have a large variety of slices and pies and the cost is decent. I want to try other menu items such as gyros, salads and falafel. I will update my rating then. So far my favorite pizza here is the plain cheese. The sauce has the right sweet, salty balance and the cheese is good. read more

We visited Golden Grain Gourmet Pizza in Albany, New York during our travels and ordered four different pizzas to try. The Chicken Alfredo pizza was creamy with plenty of flavor. The Chicken Parmesan pizza had a well balanced sauce and cheese combination that stood out. The Teriyaki pizza was a unique surprise with a sweet and savory taste that worked better than expected. The traditional slice was large and satisfying, the kind of portion that makes it worth the price. The pizzas came out quickly since they were reheated slices, but the marinara on the side was a different story. When I went back to the counter to ask for it warmed up, it was handed to me cold from the refrigerator. That was the only downside to the service. Overall, Golden Grain Gourmet Pizza delivered great taste across four very different styles of pizza. With a little more attention to detail on customer service, it could easily reach a full five stars. read more

The turkey is warm and slimy. Definitely not fresh turkey. I don't recommend their deli meat.

Beautiful atmosphere and friendly quick service. The facilities are extra clean and smell wonderful as well! The food is spectacular and very filling. This place is officially a favorite of ours! read more

Food is really great. All their dinners are very tasty, pizza is really great too. They have a large selection of dishes.

If you want a good variety of pizza fast, this is a great place to stop. It has a good family vibe and a sit in place for some afternoon lunch or late dinner. They also have very tempting cakes as you walk in the door. Decor and cleanliness were on point. My kids picked a slice each. We grabbed some drinks while the pizza heated up and sat down. Overall took 5 min wait time. Time is everything when you have two energetic toddlers. I'm most likely to stop in again soon. read more

Excellence! Great Slice! Food/Drink: First time here, I had a couple slices and soda special. Let me tell you it was great!!! Decent size slices, plenty of toppings, plenty of combos, plenty of choices, and the crunch ... magnificent! Flavor was good, texture was good. Prices: $2.50 plain, $3.25 w a topping, $3.50 specialty slice. Parking: Smaller, private lot. Bathrooms: Very clean, and smelled good! Dinning Hall: plenty of space inside, outside seating. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, Very quiet, tranquil, and chill. But plenty of people in and out. Staff/Attendants: Gentlemen were great, awesome people. Good personalities, very attentive and helpful. Food out quick and correctly. Pay before you sit, glass case chose your slices type a place. Really impressed! 10/10 read more

Great whole pies better slices. Open late as the rest of wolf road rolls up its carpet for the night.

I was in town on business, and made a point of selecting a hotel that had a good selection of restaurants nearby. The fact that this was highly rated on the site showing my hotel and in walking distance made my travel itenerary much simpler. It also made my visit much more plesant. At the end of a busy day, I walked over to their restaurant, saw what looked like classic NY pizza slices in a varierty of toppings, and then saw they had a great looking cheese pie at the top of the display once the counter server pointed it out to me. (For a 6 footer or taller it would be easy enough to see, but at 5'9", it was a bit higher than eye level.) So I ordered a slice, and also got a bottle of diet pepsi, as I hadn't even noticed the specials, which included 2 slices and a can for only slightly more than I paid for 1 slice and a bottle. Thankfully, the slice, reheated quickly in a classic NY wide steel pizza oven, was very good. While it didn't have anything speciific to knock it for, it was just what you'd want from a regular NY slice - a sauce that had a wel lbalanced flavor, not too sweet, not overwhelming the other ingredients, golden melted mozzarella with aa int of other pizza cheeses blended in, and a firm crust that a NYC dwelller would be happy to fold. (I am a lifelong NYer from the NYC suburbs who has never bothered with the fold. I appreciate the look of the classic NY slice and the thermodynamics that make the fold slightly problematic for a fresh slice when you don't want it to burn your mouth by being too hot.) While eating my slice near the hieght of dinner hour, at least a dozen other customers came in and out ofthe store anwere quikly and efficiently served slices and pies that were either called in aahead or ordered on walk in. This was clearly a pizzeria that had earned its popularity with a very good product. So, I treated myself to a second slice when the opportunity to order one in the crowd lull presented intself. This gave me the chance to notice a few more details about their pizza. The crust, not only baked well with a nice golden brown color motled across the bottom, had the faint but unmistable texture of having been baked on a wire rack. I had learned of the importance of wire racks from an old friend, Jeff Goldman (RIP), a long time Albany area native I'd met in college when he was operating his first pizzeria, JG's on Lark street, during my freshman year of college in the 80s. Jeff went on to found and operate 3 successive Jeff's pizzas in the 8-s and 90s before passing away in 1999 or 2000 from a heart attack. His death was a tragic loss for the area, and for area pizza. It was good to see another pizzeria carrying on the wire rack method and making a very good slice. It might not have been uite up to Jeff's level of excellence, but it holds up very well against what NYers expect of pizza. Area residents, and SUNY U of Albany attendees, many of whom are downstate NYers, should be very pleased with this pizza. It's good to tste a good NY slice that any NYer would be pleased to eat. And I knew where to get brunch before leaving town, since they open at 10 am. It's a way beter choice than the included continental breakfast at the hotel. read more

The pizzeria has moved to a different (nicer) location, so while my old review is still correct for the pizza the better location bumps my rating up a little. I probably wouldn't have come back except they sent out 99-cent slice coupons and that hooked me in. I was so impressed I had to bring the family back the next day. This is in the location of an old coffee shop, though it has been completely revamped. It has tables and booths, a bar area by the window you can sit (and watch Wolf Road if you so desire), an outdoor patio area (again, overlooking Wolf Road), and a fake fireplace that was showing digital flames during a 90-degree hot spell outside. They can accomodiate any type of customer's seating preference. The menu boards are digital and flash lots of different options. They had 18 different pizzas on offer when I came both times, and actually there is a fourth upper row which is hard to see that has more. They told me they "always have" that many pizzas... any time of day. However, I would assume that would lead to a degradation of freshness. If you pick wrong, you might get an overly dried out or overly greasy slice. But it IS pizza, you know. They over-reheated my wife's slice and immediately offered to redo it, but let me keep the really cooked one. I thought it was great, and my wife liked her re-do better. I guess you can't please everybody. My slices were good, but I must stress their dough appears to be preformed (this was noted in my previous review too). It is uniformly round, with prick marks to prevent bubbles or expansion, and it is crispy once reheated. Actually, it is CRUNCHY! There is no getting around it. If you want soft, foldable slices with chewy crusts you needn't bother coming here. It isn't my favorite style of pizza, but for a change of pace it is fine. There is no bad pizza, just over-priced pizza... and their prices here seemed reasonable. Their salad bar, for $8.99, was very unimpressive but I didn't come here for health food. It is easy to get in, buy a slice, and get out... and I will be back. read more

So disappointed as this is my go to pretty much once a week. I ordered through GrubHub as usual. A half hour after my order was due I had called for them to check and they told me that they left it on my front porch. So I hung up. I went out and checked my front porch it was not there I called back and he basically called me a liar. He said their delivery guy had pictures and everything. I have a ring camera and there was nobody at my house. He got very snippy with me and said if I wanted to call Grubhub for a refund then go ahead and hung up on me. I actually couldn't believe it because we are a regular customer and there's no reason for me to lie. It was a large order, about 85 bucks. Then I had to argue with Grubhub about getting a refund which will take 3 to 5 days. Are you kidding me? I will not order through GrubHub any longer and I will no longer order from Golden Grain. Funny I got a call from a woman who asked me if I ordered food. She said she found it on her doorstep and she lives on the other side of my town nowhere near me. I told her to enjoy it. I should add that this is the second time this is happened to me but the first time, they apparently went and found my food and delivered it although it was very late. They are not getting a third chance. read more

I certainly do appreciate the cleanliness of their locations. I did have a veggie slice today very nice size however it was definitely overdone and a little too crispy. I think they might've had the warm-up in the oven a little too long, will certainly return. The sauce definitely does need a little bit of seasoning, but all in all nothing a little salt didn't help. read more

For being my first visit to New York State, this was the perfect introduction to NY style pizza! It. Was. Delicious. This place was packed on a Friday night. The staff are nice and the pizza is ready quickly. I ordered a custom pizza and picked a few slices from the pizzas behind the counter. I don't know how to exactly describe what makes this pizza unique. All I can say is my entire family loved it and I wish there was a Golden Grain in Texas. read more

Decent pizza... especially enjoyed the veggie one. Very quick service and wasn't too busy during the week.

Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere, friendly staff... I ordered the eggplant parm which I was told was served thinly sliced breaded and fried. crisp... instead what i got was a soggy mess, they need to up their eggplant game! Seriously some of the grossest eggplant parm I have ever had... it came served on a bed of pasta. The sauce was good and i enjoyed the pasta... So cant speak on the rest of the food as I said the sauce and pasta was yummy.. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I ordered food to be delivered to me at work at 12. Called at 1220 and the lady says they just left. Waited another 40 min called back and was told food was delivered. I told the manager it was not and he then toys to tell me the place I work does not even exist. Rude, so very rude. I was told by the manger I could not get refund unless I gave back the food that I did not even receive. So, in the end no food and I was put 80 bucks. NEVER order from here. read more

I really love Golden Grain. I travel to Albany a lot for work and this is always a reliable stop. It's close to my hotel, open until 12AM, and has solid reliable vegetarian options. The ambiance inside is nice but it is not a table service place. The food kind of takes a long time to come out. I love the Greek Salad, Falafel and Peanut butter pie. read more

Very good pizza and salad. Fast casual style. Reasonably priced. Will go back for sure.

I came in this evening to order vegan pizza. This restaurant is so clean! The decor is cozy. They even have a fire place. The service is high quality! I was greeted with so much friendliness. And now to the best part, the PIZZA! So good! This is going to be my new favorite spot for vegan pizza! read more

I've been staying in Albany for the past week, but I haven't had much occasion to go out and get a meal as yet. With the present circumstances, I'm not real keen on going to dine in places, but the hotel concierge recommended golden grain as a delivery source, and I decided to give them a shot. I ordered the giant Stromboli, and it was every bit all that. It was huge. I will be eating off of this thing for a week! I ordered extra mushroom and extra cheese, and I needn't have bothered, as it was already full to bursting. The Miller I've taught, and within the you promised delivery time, and I have no complaints at all. It was excellent. I have no doubt that their other menu items are equally as good. The price was fair, too, especially for New York. If you're craving something Italian, and you're in the Albany area, you can't go wrong with golden Grain pizza. read more

i have been trying different pizza places around Colonie and i saw the calzones here were huge! We were starving and planning a very lazy Friday night so we ordered a broccoli cheese calzone, pepperoni pizza, wings and knots. First, that calzone was huge. Probably larger than a large pizza. So, if you want to order one, you don't need anything else, unless you were feeling super gluttonous like myself. Besides its enormous size, it was very good. The marinara served with it could have benefited from some herbs and spices. the marinara was bland. The pizza went quickly cause it super good, The sauce on the pizza was definitely not the same as the side for the calzone, which was a good thing. The pizza came 'well done' with out even asking. The pepperoni was perfectly crisp, crust was good and it was perfectly cheesy. I would definitely order from here again. Even my BF who swears by another pizza place, loved it here. The knots and the wings were not amazing, but still good. The knots were regular, not much to rave about. the wings were very tasty, and super crispy, but not meaty or juicy. I've had a lot better. This place has been here a while, and i am glad I gave it a shot. It was a little pricier than other places, but I think the quality was on par with the pricing. Try the HUGE calzone! read more

Truly the most incredible good in the Italian-American category that I've eaten in awhile. I ordered a calzone for $13. It was enough for 2-3. The garlic knots were also great. I wish this was a franchise! read more
