We enjoyed a Homestyle takeout lunch with my daughter and two grands. Menu is well organized into categories. Prices are moderate. The Chicken/eggplant/cheese/pesto Panini was excellent. The in store made Italian bread was grilled nicely. The crust was crispy and spread with pesto. My daughter and I split the generous Panini. Yum. Grandpa enjoyed half of the Chicken Parm Sub. Ordered a round Cheese Pizza for the children plus nicely breaded and fried large Chicken tenders. Food was well received. I added to my phone order when I went for pickup from the two large cases of ready to go foods. I got a large serving of Sausage and Peppers and a square of Eggplant Parm. Two fresh in-house made rolls were included --Fresh and outstanding as always. We sampled my selections, and the rest will be served for dinner. The Italian sausage was spiced mildly, had fennel seeds as it should have, and lean. The peppers used were red, yellow, and orange --not less desirable green ones. Five Stars. The Eggplant Parm was heavily breaded and fried until too soft. 3 Stars. I love how you do not have to preorder many items. They have available two large cases of food ready to go including: Chick Parm, Eggplant Parm, Lasagne, Ziti, Alfredo pasta, and Orzo Soup with Greens. Slices of pizza are also available: tomato pie, broccoli, and pepperoni. pizza. And there is more! Stromboli, garlic knots, and Parmesan bread sticks adorn the ready to go cases. Staff was making custom order cold subs for two customers. Two other huge cases are filled with pastries and cookies. read more

This is the second time they've forgotten a part of my order. Not only that, the pasta was complete mush, with no flavor. They used to be good, I don't know what happened but it's a shame. I should have ordered from Perreca's. read more

Homestyle Pizza - A garbage meal in its proper home. - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

The food was tasteless?? The ziti with Vodka sauce was pasty and just about warm. The Veal was mushy, I knew there was a reason I stopped eating here. I asked the girl if this is the same cook that cooked for The Ritz on Union since they the same restaurant but more upscale. Obviously take out doesn't et he same attention. Don't waste your Money! read more

I came to place an order for pizza and wings. This place used to be on the bomb but now it's not they don't check their food before it's placed into a bag or to make sure that it is done. The girls behind the counters have a hard time understanding of what you're asking. Everybody seems to be so busy the food here use to be great but the service for the pizzas Homestyle Pizza is not what it used to be.. read more

Overpriced. A cup of soup is closer to a thimble. $6 gets you a much smaller cup than you think for take out.

The service was horrible and one of the owner's attitude was just as bad. I had a complaint and when the owner called me back, he asked me if I was having a bad day. It wasn't a bad day, just a bad experience with the restaurant employees. I was offered restaurant credit, but I didn't accept it as I will never go to Homestyle again. read more

Updated review: since I last reviewed, this "pizza joint" has expanded to add in sit-down restaurant service. Delays & issues in my last reviews are fixed. Owner has become more approachable (appreciates feedback when things don't go right and actually corrects them) and while they seem to have lots of front counter staff over turn- are usually well trained. Pizza quality depends on who makes it. Sometimes it's perfect, other times it's just okay. The thick pizza/slices stand out when made correctly and are allowed to proof & rise enough. Steamtable food is very convenient when you want a grab n go, but food is not uniformly yummy - some is better than others. Parking is easy, getting out of the lot sometimes dicey due to high volume of traffic & partially blocked sight lines. Get the steak sandwich with sauce, onions & mozz..their rolls are unique & amazing and perfectly firm and crispy. Be warned- they often pitch out the steam table food & slices 1/2 and hour before closing, so no last minute bites for you. read more

When I did an order on Friday July 11 and got the pizza in my delivery, I did not expect that the price for a 24 cut pizza was $45. But when I tasted it, the pizza tasted like it was bathed in salt. I had called and made a complaint on Saturday. No manager was available called today they stated because of it being two days past, they could not doing anything. I feel that the manager was just lazy and didn't wanna do anything about it. In all my years of eating pizza that was the worst pizza I've ever tasted. read more

Homestyle pizza is a place where you can get a good slice of pizza and some other good products to go quickly and efficiently. I have never gone there to sit down for dinner so I can't really speak on the ambience except for what I see when I walk in, but I will say that it does Look like it has some serious facelift improvements that have been done to this building. There's now a beautiful dining room it looks like in the front and it definitely looks like a huge improvement. The food is stellar and definitely recommend it if anyone is in the area to stop in and try it, as far as the customer service goes, we are always impressed by the customer service because they are always fast and friendly and always try to do their best to make sure that we get what we want when we want it and how we want it. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you so much for listening. read more

How the mighty have fallen. A once great pizza has become a half cooked mess. It was easy to see no care went in to the pizza I ordered. This is by far the most expensive pizza in the area and considering how long they've been in business, you'd think they'd have it down to a science. I'm not sure what happened or why, but having to throw out 3/4 of a pizza I spent over $20 for was the last straw. There are frozen pizzas in the supermarket that are less expensive and better quality than what we were served. I'm sorry I have to rate Homestyle one star. Yelp should offer a negative star system for times like this. Save your money folks, there are plenty of other places in the area that are glad to have your business and actually put time and care into the product they sell you. read more

Disclaimer- my favorite pizza place since I was a kid growing up 1/2 mile away from their old location. The "new" location was a Friendly's years ago. Still love their pizza. Went with Mom for dinner. We split a house salad- it was enough for 3! See pic. We got the 8 cut meat lovers pizza- again easily enough for 3-4 ppl. Yummy too. They have beer and wine too. Also known for their takeout food - and scrumptious desserts! Go go Homestyle! read more

We are long standing customers, over 25 yrs., and we always had reliably good food from Homestyle. Takeout tonite was very disappointing. We had Eggplant Parm..and it was actually Mozzarella Parm.. thick layers of cheese with 2 THIN layers of eggplant. The sauce was good, as always but the entre was poor. Homestyle, we expect so much better! read more

12 cut cheese pizza 8 cut white broccoli and 20 wing told 45 minutes show up at 50 have to wait another 15 one pizza cold and wings under heat lamp. You'd figure I would know by now but I keep giving them chances..... read more

It took 30 minutes from time we arrived for the food to be served. Only one waitress in duty and fairly busy during the noon hour. If you are on your lunch break, forget about eating here. Stromboli was crisp and loaded with mozzarella cheese with sauce on the side. I opted for mushrooms as one item is included with others available for $1 extra each. Wife had Philly a cheese Steak which she said was very good as well. If they can get the service situation corrected, I would rate them 4 stars. read more

Always delicious! The eggplant is our favorite and we are never disappointed. Everyone is friendly and happy to help.

Always a family favorite place. Whether eating in or take out the food is delicious. Traditional Italian food!

Stopped in last week with parents after a daytime show at Proctors. We ate in the newly renovated dining room and was greeted right away by a waitress. We got the table we requested and the girl that sat us ended up being our waitress. She was great. Very attentive and took great care of us. Apps included some Buffalo Mac & Cheese and 2 bowls of Pasta Fagioli. Soup was excellent, and the BMC hit the spot. I got the strip steak that was cooked just like I asked (M-R) was tasty and melted in my mouth. Parents got a couple pasta dishes. Chix Parm and Penne Alfredo with clams. Huge portions, so they had to take half home. Both were pleased! Too full to even look at the dessert menu, which is made on premise. Highly recommended family spot on Union St. Dinner, apps and drinks for 3 was around $100. read more

Never ever order delivery. Took 2 hours to arrive and food was awful. Will never order from them again. Used to be great.

Omg this place is amazing! Started off with a dozen wing medium and they were cooked perfect. Huge wings that were really crispy and just the right amount of heat! Probably the best wings I have had in the last 10 years. (Sorry no pic). Then my wife and I had an 8 cut pepp and mushroom pizza that was also cooked perfectly with a real crispy bottom! If you are in Schenectady you have to try this place! read more

Homestyle Pizza - Pepp and mushroom pizza! Amazing!!! - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Best pizza around. We ordered a pizza and a grilled chicken salad , salad was large enough to share pizza was perfect

Food is ok. Orders are generally not ready on time. Recently ordered for deliver and it showed up a half hour before the window, wrong, and already cold. Called and the staff couldn't care less. Didn't offer to fix anything, just a $3 credit next time I call. read more

I recently tried Homestyle hoping to have a dine in experience. The dining room has still not been completed. Since we were already there we did take out. I wasn't impressed with the selection and even after we ordered they didn't heat the food up before giving it to us. If I go out for food I do not want to have to cook it. I would have cooked at home if I did. Overall I was not thrilled with my experience. Nothing about the food, atmosphere or service was worth mentioning. read more

Extremely disappointed with the attitude of the owner when it was brought to his attention an issue with my take out order. His response to finding a hair in my sandwich was to accuse me of planting it there. Absolutely no remorse and would not offer a refund. I would not recommend spending any time or money here. read more

I was recommended by coworkers because the craving for a meatball sub hit, that was someone's lunch. I was told there usually is a wait for seating. That I can believe. There is not many tables. It was Friday and the had a guitarist playing accompanied by canned background music. Very nice. Once I arrived I changed my mind, no sub. Chicken Basilica, chicken, sun dried tomatoes in a pesto cream sauce. Sauce was wonderful. Chicken tough and dry. By it was good enough to try again. There was a whole case of desserts in the take out area. I will have to try some. ***Update, I have been here several times and if it is not very good it is worth going to. The pizza is great The pasta is good and the desserts are good read more

Probably one of the worse experiences I have ever had with a pizzeria. My father was visiting from Naples. He wanted a marinara pie. So I knew I had to find a skilled Pizzeria. Because most of the new generation of kids have no clue about quality. I have heard good things about Homestyle. I called to place my order for delivery. The kid who was taking my order sounded confused and with no real knowledge of the pizza industry. Uggh. So I tried to explain. A 12 cut pizza with marinara, fresh garlic, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil. I even called back afterwards to speak to someone else to make sure it was understood correctly. I wanted my father to be atleast fairly happy. Huge disappointment. I paid the same price that someone would pay for a Margarite Pizza. With no cheese on it and no Sliced tomatoes. So I figured whoever was making the pizza would put alil extra work into a simpler pizza without the more expensive items on it. I was wrong what I received was an insult. A disappointment. Shame on homestyle pizza. Attached are two pictures. What a marinara pizza should look like and what I received for just over $30. Very disappointing. Crust was like cardboard, sauce was good, no fresh garlic slices, a few specks of jarred mince garlic, no extra virgin olive oil. Bland and dry. I will be spreading the word. Avoid Homestyle Pizzeria read more

Now we have ordered here about ten times in the last year we have lived in Schenectady. This place doesn't seem to want your business. Just yesterday we placed an order for a pucillo pozza. No flavor whatsoever. I went from a four star review of this place to 1. The team here slacks in all ways from their cooking, customer service, to the rude people they hire. Four out of the 10 times the orders were completely wrong and we had to drive back to fix it. Although they are affordable and my preferred pizza place in the area we will have to look elsewhere. Bland pizza, raw dough, undercooked bacon those are just a couple of the things that bothered me with their pizzas. I cannot say all of the food is not good since I have not tried anything but their pizzas but we are in New York after all shouldn't we be eating decent pizza? Coming from the West Coast and living in the south I didn't know much about pizza but homestyle just needs to kick it up a notch or else they're going to lose so many customers, the latest reviews are so sad and if I was in management I'd go a further step to try to get those customers back. You guys have so much to offer with the extensive menu, do some pondering and figure things out. read more

First disappointment in years of ordering. I've eaten in, done take out and get delivery a bit at work. Work orders are usually $80 to $100 and we tip 20% or more. Tonight it was highly disappointing. 2 paninis, which are supposed to come with fries, didn't. Upon calling I was told they no longer did and the online menu was outdated. They should update it or clarify upon ordering. One panini ( an all American burger panini) was a clump of hamburger , smaller than a small meatball, in the middle of two huge pieces of bread. Certainly not a $13 panini. I probably won't order from there again for a long time. read more

So, we wanted to reward our students for their hard work and decided to have a pizza party. We ordered 2 x-large pies and half tray salad-$75! First of all that alone should have turned us off! The worse decision ever! The pizza arrived burnt, cheese wasn't cooked properly and did not stay on the dough. The pizza was bitter because it was so burnt and the students complained the entire time. It was a series of; "This is nasty, this taste bitter, the cheese just fell off my pizza, Mrs. blank I am sorry you wasted you money on this, Why didn't you buy Dominos?" It was terrible. Then to top it off, we looked at the receipt and discovered they took more money for the tip than permitted! Who does that? We called and they wanted us to hold on to the pizza and have them send 2 new ones. Students were already seated and ready to have their party. I told the manager/owner (did not let me know who he was) I took pictures; he asked us to forward them and that he would place a $17 credit for the next order, as if there would ever be another. This was the worse experience!!!!! Don't even give them the benefit of the doubt. You will not be satisfied. It literally tasted like curdled milk! The "half tray" of salad, was just a large bowl - $28!! So disappointing and I feel so badly for our students who have worked so hard. read more

This used to be my go to pizza place for a guaranteed good pie. Not anymore. I had company over, and promised a great pizza. Considering they are literally the most expensive pizza in town, you'd expect a great pizza, delivered hot, and on time. Well... I ordered a simple large pizza with 3 toppings, at 5:08, on a Monday. Yes! A Monday! Was told 45 minutes to an hour. At 6:53, a cold soggy pizza showed up, that had obviously sat around for a long time before being delivered. Yes, an hour and forty five minutes to get a pizza delivered half a mile away. At $30, this was an incredible rip off, and a total embarrassment for me, since I raved about how good this place was. I guess the days of quality, are in the past. Don't waste your money, there are better choices in this area, at a much lower price. I will not be doing business with them, again. read more

We all became sick and all ordered different items. Marinara sauce spilled out all over my kids chicken fingers? Disappointing

A classic and a must-stop on every visit to Schenectady. On this visit, we ordered takeout including a 12-cut Sicilian pizza with sausage and mushrooms, a dairy-free pizza with plenty of sauce and veggies, and chicken pastina soup - all of which was delicious! Also, the tomato pie is really great - we've had it plenty of other times as well! (visited 11/10/19) read more

Food is good. Restaurant is outdated, cold and uncomfortable. Food is good. Pizza is comparable to other places in the area. The dinners are really good. The deserts seem old but I've only had the cheesecake so maybe that part of my review is biased. They don't have a small salad on the menu as a side but will make it if you ask. I wish they'd include that as an actual menu item. Their homemade dressing is delicious, too. My only gripe is the atmosphere - it's dark, cold and the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like it's just terribly cramped. The parking lot is the same. I will continue to eat here but not inside. read more

I have been going to homestyle for 35 years back when they were on VanAnTwerp and Joe was there. I lived on VA too. The pizza was awesome. Ovens seasoned by years of cooking. Then you moved. Pizza was "Tinney". New ovens. Fast forward I have ordered pizzas from you guys and asked for "well done" for delivery. Neither were close. But with delivery you pay and get hopefull. Well done does not mean cold nor does it mean browned cheese. It means a crispy crust. Like a Brooklyn pizza.on top of that a $22 bill for an 8 cut cheese? You lost my business. read more
