    Sicilian style
    Juliet V.

    I've been eating here in one way or another for years My mom used to order from here when they were in the old location. I don't eat here very often these days but I was in Schenectady and decided to order takeout. I called and ordered 2 pizzas. One was the Tomato Fresca with pesto, balsamic vinaigrette, basil and tomatoes. The other a Plain Cheese Sicilian style. It was a 1/2 an hour wait. The Sicilian style crust was not very salty, crispy on the outside and doughy in the middle but in a good way. It complimented the bright tomato sauce and creamy blanket of mozzarella. The Tomato Fresca had a nice combination of flavors on a thinner crust. The balsamic a good mix with the pesto and cheese. It's a bit on the expensive side but we all enjoyed our meal. It lives up to the home style name.

    I like this place! I've been here for takeout and have had dinner in the full service dining room to the left. The takeout area has a steam table (ready to go hot foods), pizza by the slice, cold salads, and a nice selection of baked goods and desserts. The dining room has high back booth seating and a full cocktail bar offering draft beer, wine, and cocktails. The menu selection is pretty extensive. The NY style pizza is decent and they offer 2 slices of cheese pizza & a drink for $4.49 (toppings additional). I love Pasta Night which is offered on Mondays and Wednesdays (4PM-8PM) for $6.99. You get a choice of spaghetti or ziti; marinara sauce, meat sauce, or Alfredo sauce; garden salad and hot rolls. On my last visit, I tried the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce which were the thick noodles, almost like linguine in a homemade tomatoey chunky meat sauce, MMMM good!!! The service was decent, but a bit delayed because my server had to go back and forth between the dining room and takeout counter area. Don't forget dessert and be sure try to the cannolis and carrot cake!

    Okay fellow Italian lovers (I'm talking about the food ok?!) here is the scoop... I love me some Italian. It's in the blood. So finding a nice mom and pop Italian restaurant is always on the radar. For the past couple of years my wife and I have only been purchasing their pizza dough. They make great pizza dough and it sure does beat what you get at the super market. We make these awesome BBQ pizza's on the grill (I'll have to share the recipe some time- it truly is divine!) But up until recently all were were spending our dough on was the dough. (See what I did there?) This past year we decided to venture out and try their other menu items. For no apparent reason did we neglect purchasing anything other than pizza dough in the past- it just happened to work out that way. 2011 was the year of the BBQ Grilled Pizza. Anyway, one night my wife was there getting dough and she noticed a featured article in the local newspaper resting right on the counter where she was checking out. The author mentioned a great deal where you got a certain style pizza and a salad for about $10. My wife made a mental note of that and the very next night she wanted to try what she had read about. So she called and placed her order. Now the person taking her order said, "Oh we don't offer that deal and style pizza anymore." My wife explained that she had just read the article on their counter the day before. The staff member replied, "Sorry ma'am I don't know what you are talking about." Long story short, my wife ended up ordering spaghetti and meat balls. That was the initial taste of our future experiences ordering meals at Home Style. This wasn't the only time this sort of thing happened. We had several coupons for their special deals and each time we went to redeem them they said they couldn't accept it. Dealing with the staff there is like going to get a root canal. At least with a root canal you know the pain will eventually end. We have ordered several different entrees there and they aren't anything to write home about -especially for the price. Home Style is definitely on the higher end of the cost spectrum compared with other local Italian restaurants. If you are looking for a great Italian meal locally, go elsewhere. There are plenty of them nearby with bigger portions, better ingredients, same or lower price, and friendly staff. What keeps us going back for more do you ask? Their dough. They have fantastic dough, their pizza is really good (a little high priced but still good) and they have fantastic wings...I'm talking Gigantic WINGS. Bottom line- If you don't mind being treated like Jody Foster was by "Buffalo Bill" in Silence of the Lambs (It puts the lotion on its skin...AKA...it puts the money on the counter) -by all means go there and get their great pizza and ass kicking GIANT buffalo wings. Just leave behind their mediocre entrees, terrible subs, and rude staff. (side note- I was trying to decide between 2 and 3 stars but in the end I had to give them 2 stars on account of the way they treat their customers. I'm not the only one that has experienced this either.) (side side note- Somehow I'm the Duke with a scathing review...But did I mention how awesome their dough, pizza and wings are?!)

It was a full-on snowstorm, the weird dead zone after Christmas where everyone else is like "nah, we're closing early," and Perrecca's was like: "We ride." Just me and the wife, snow coming down sideways, and this place is warm, welcoming, and absolutely cranking out hot food. And I mean HOT hot -- not "restaurant hot," but "careful-that-plate-is-trying-to-burn-your fingerprints-off" hot. Love to see it. Food? Super tasty. No notes. Service? Solid across the board. Bathrooms? Clean enough to eat off of (I didn't, but I could've). Parking? Plenty of off-street, no parallel parking Olympics required. Now let's talk about the hostess -- because WOW. She works the room like she personally built the place brick by brick. Touches every table, warm, friendly, checking in -- you'd swear her name was on the sign out front. Absolute pro. Hospitality Hall of Fame behavior. Between the legendary bakery, the attached restaurant, and the fact that they stayed open when the weather said "stay home," this place is a must-see Schenectady institution. Come hungry. Leave happy. Possibly leave with extra bread you didn't plan on buying but somehow needed. Would go back in a blizzard. Would go back tomorrow. Would go back just for the vibes.

R Gershon's Deli (Facebook) Dear Friends of Gershon's, It is with a heavy heart that I share this news with our loyal customers, friends, staff, and extended family. I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Geshon's Deli & Caterers. Friday, January 30th, 2026, was our final day. This decision was not made lightly as Gershon's has been an integral part of my life since I was a little girl. After my father's untimely passing, I took over with one clear mission, to honor his legacy, keep his dream alive, and continue providing quality service and "good food for good people." For more than 60 years, Gershon's has been shaped by the people who walked through our doors. Every employee, customer, client, and friend has played a role in our story and our success. Unfortunately, rising food costs, ongoing economic challenges, the lasting effects of COVID, and the loss of my final opportunity this week have left me with no other choice. To everyone who has supported me over the past nine years, thank you. Thank you for the memories, for trusting us with your celebrations, holidays, milestones, and everyday moments. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives, in both the joyful times and the hard ones. I will miss seeing you all more than I can put into words. I am deeply grateful for the love and support you've shown me and my family over the years. I wish vou all nothina but the best. Please take care

I was told after providing a deposit that my event coordinator (Kate) would reach out to finalize plans early February. Mid February rolls around and I have not heard from Kate. I reached out via email only to find that Kate is no longer working with Nicole's. Our event was passed on to Margaret. No problem. Margaret and I arranged a call where I discussed our in laws are footing the bill and they LOVE food. So we wanted a lot and a large variety despite being a smaller wedding (50-75 people). Margaret spent the entire call talking me down and telling me I was ordering too much. She asked I look over the options again and downsize. I told her we would but we do still want a large variety. A day or two later I go to email Margaret our (still large but) downsized order...only to find an email from her waiting for me. Her email stated that Nicole's simply could not service us and it was a mistake for Kate to take us on originally. She went on to say that the only way it was feasible for them to serve our wedding is if we were willing to spend a minimum of $15,000 BEFORE TAXES AND FEES. So to recap we've had them booked since November. Between November and March they didn't think to tell us they couldn't serve us. And after talking me down Margaret comes back not 72 hours later to tell me we have to pay over $15 grand. BEFORE TAXES AND FEES. Margaret left us hanging and scrambling to find a caterer for one of the busiest wedding weekends of the year. And to add to the unprofessionalism after providing our home address for her to return our deposit via check...she sent it to the location of our wedding event instead. Do not work with these people and risk being put in the situation I'm in. They cannot be trusted to uphold their end of a bargain. Hell, they can't even be trusted to address an envelope.
