God bless this place ! It's wonderful and friendly ! I had a square cheese slice , a NY pepperoni and sausage slice and a large made fresh to order Cannoli. You can easily see why they've been over 40 years! ‍ Cent'Anni read more

Great pizza and the garlic knots are SOOOOO GOOD! I could eat them every day of my life. Kali is always friendly and helpful.

The food was horrible, ordered a Sausage and meatballs pizza. The crust was thinner than the box it came in. Also a Large pie, is the size of a Domino's pizza. Now to top it off they charged me 33.00 and the crust was burnt. Do not eat there. Michael Miller read more

Very good pizza and very very nice restaurant very antique and cozy I come from the city and have had pizza from there and honestly it's not all that but this place is wonderful it's an experience read more

A great local old school pizza joint! Specialty slices always ready to go at a great price ($7 for 2 slices and a soda!) Definitely not fancy, but I always look for awesome hole-in-the-wall places. And yes, mind your P's and Q's, as a joke I said "Gimme 2 slices" all gruff and thought a rolling pin was going to head my way :-) read more

The place was old and run down The pizza was made with old dough old cheese and full of grease the health department needs to go there read more

Ordered 2 subs and fries with a 2 liter. Cheeseburger sub was trash. It said Angus beef and I'm sure that's what it says on the Frozen meat patty box of caiman but it was not that good. It was also cold and the delivery guy used one of those hot bags but it didn't really help. Chicken Parm sub was greasy and turned my buddy's stomach. He also said it wasn't that good like the sauce had really no flavor. We both ordered like OK a full-size sub is probably too much but I'm eating it, but we both pretty much stopped at half because neither sub was very good. Fries were pretty good. They were also cold when they got to us. Add to that I ordered a 2 L and they sent one of those little 1 L bottles. If you were out of 2 L fine but send me 2 1 liter bottles (to be fair it was the 1.25L but still, 4$ for 2L you're not losing money giving me 2 1.25L or at least adjusting the price). Won't be ordering here again. I wanted to go 3 stars or but the food wasn't great besides the fries. read more

Some of these reviews are complete bullshit. I've been coming here for overhalf my life...theres a reason for that. Hell I even worked there before. I'm here to tell you, this place is one of a kind. The people who run that place are basically family to Me. I order there all the time because the food homemade from scratch. I looooove pizza and if there's one place I recommend....it's this place right here. read more

This place is an absolute hole in the wall type of place that's been there forever and you gotta know it's there. The dinners are outstanding. Chicken Marsala, to die for. This is dinner with attitude. Remember your pleases and thank you's or they will remind you. Lol. read more

Fancy it is not. Stopped in with kids, each with a friend, large pepperoni pie, 12 cut, 4 sodas $21. All agreed they loved it. I use to visit 10 years ago when I worked in the area, since then been back only once (brought coworker whose whole family swears by this place). Wish it was closer. Lively banter with the lady who may be the owner, nice selection of individual slices also. Not the upscale cookie cutter place if that's your thing. If it's not then please try this place! read more

Our Original Pizzeria - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Got pickup on a sunday night at 6 pm. All I ordered were meatballs and the pasta carbonara which comes with a side of bread and side salad. First off, my salad was missing the dressing I ordered. Secondly, my "bread" side was a cold, hard, and dry garlic knot that tasted like it had been sitting out for a day. Then I get to my pasta which had undercooked pancetta and the saltiest carbonara sauce I've ever tasted. Perhaps the only saving grace were the meatballs, which were small in size but came with a decent portion and were pretty good. Really disappointed in the pasta, can still taste the salt from the couple bites that I could eat. read more

This place is a joke. We ordered 2 pizzas , mozzarella sticks and aroncini. They were out of aroncini. They called and let us know. Great. The food was a half hour late soaked in grease burned in some places raw in others. So we called asking for a refund. After stating the company line of "every order is handmade" to explain why our food took 2 hours to arrive. They were rude and told us to call grubhub. We did. After 80 dollars worth of greasy inedible pizza was refunded through grubhub plus the place calls me back and tells me their driver is coming to pick up the food the owner wants to see why we got a refund. NOPE. You must be crazy. Never again. read more

They made all my food wrong they burned my boneless wing and they look like they were cooked in a dirty fryer read more

I have worked in Schenectady for years, and never knew about this place. I have been missing out. Great pizza! Great sauce! They grow their own tomatoes. I'll be back ! read more

This is my favorite pizzeria in the Capital Region. Their New Yorkers are as good as they get. Pricing is very reasonable and you get great value for the $$$$. If you ask them to customize your pizza, they will do it [within reason, of course]. Carry out or sit down. Go by for lunch and chit-chat with Sylvie while your custom pizza is in the oven. Our Original is great food and is not the average "cookie-cutter" type pizza that you can expect from the competition. read more

One of my most favorite pizzerias ever! Everything from the dough to the sauce is freshly made, the dinners, subs, calzones are delicious. Check Facebook for their daily specials. The value you get for the money is unbelievable! This was my delicious homemade lunch today.... read more

I absolutely love their food because it's HOME MADE style. Anyone who give Originals any bad review are insane

I LOVE this place. Let's talk about the food, because that's what it's really about. I generally order the pizza. The crust is flavorful, the sauce is dynamite, and the toppings taste REAL. When I don't order the general pizza, I go for their artisan pizzas. I really like their panatone (sp?) which is like Perreca's Pizza, BUT BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, I've dubbed it "Better Than Perrecas!" One day, I was told by one of their workers to try the burger sub. In my opinion, that sounds crazy! I ordered! And for the price you pay, you get your moneys worth! It's the length of an Italian bread loaf, you can have whatever toppings on it, and the meat. OMG the meat is juicy, and melt in your mouth. If you follow them on Facebook, they post dinner specials. The other week I got their chicken marsala. I never had chicken marsala in my life, I read about it on Wikipedia, and decided I wanted it. IT WAS AN ORGASM IN MY MOUTH PEOPLE!!!! The flavors, the smell, the look, it was all wonderful. When I don't get their pizza, the dinner special, or the burger sub. I get the chicken tenders and fries. They sent their bbq sauce with the tenders, which is an excellent and flavorful sauce. They also sent raspberry sauce for the fries. Disgusting you're thinking? Think wrong! It's a contrast of salty and sweet! What else to mention? Not enough space to mention it all! You have to go there and try it! I only wish they were closer to me, so I didn't have to drive all the way up to Crane St. read more

DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER! "OUR ORIGINAL" HAS THE VERY BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN UPPER STATE NY! Their pizza is to die for, THEY MAKE REAL ITALIAN MIX SUBS WITH ALL THE ITALIAN MEATS AND THEY ARE HUGE! All the Italian Dinners are all made with wine, fresh spices, and garlic, and taste just like momma made them in Italy. The Wraps are delicious. The slice the meat as you order it, no pre-sliced ANYTHING! EVERYTHING is always fresh and delicious. HUGE Salads. And OMG the BEST home made Cheesecake in the world. ALL of the portions are huge. I get 2 meals out of anything I order! And the owners are wonderful, kind, and straight from Italy, so they bring the real taste of Italy to NY. And they even deliver. Ya cannot go wrong. Tell em Kitten sent ya! (A very very satisfied, regular customer). Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! ~Kitten~ read more

Only in town for one night and had to stop here!!! This could be your original pizzeria...that real home cooked flavor pizza, pepperoni rolls, and the antipasto bread is to die for!!! Don't get me started on the sweetest Italian lady who owns the joint...you have to talk to her!!! tell her charlie said hi :) read more

I had one of the worst experiences at this place. We place an order and it took forever to get to us. When we received it was missing toppings on the pizza. I called and spoke to a very rude woman on the phone who basically said I was lying. The pizza was awful, my guests were disappointed. The only saving grace was that we ordered from Slice and they helped get at least a couple dollars refunded. Terrible food, Terrible customer service! I would say don't waste your money. read more

This is our favorite pizza place. The food is very flavorful and rich. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. We love their pizza, sandwiches, soups, and other specials. read more

Got a buffalo chicken pizza which was overcooked and crust as hard as a rock, just gross and tasted like plastic and then also got garlic cheesy bread which was basically just garlic. Very bad experience. Only positive was they had good tasting cookies. Will never order from here again. read more

I was in the mood for a "different" pizza - I enjoy all types of pizza - if its dough w sauce n cheese I usually am game to give it a try... The reviews were very good on Yelp - so I thought why not give them a try? I will say out of all the pizza joint in Schenectady this one probably has the largest menu I have seen! However - if you can't convince me with a basic 8-cut and some wings - I sure as hell ain't gonna order anything else to find an improvement. I know that pizza dough doesn't really do anything to add to the flavor of a pizza - but I think if I had put sauce and cheese on the box it would have tasted about the same. It was very tough - the kind of crust you really gotta chew a lot! My very first instinct was to cancel the order because the woman who answered the phone was not even remotely friendly. Apparently I was interrupting her evening with my phone call, insulted her when I inquired if they had any pizza/wing specials (typical question you would think). Then I wanted a delivery? (oh-Jeez)! I felt like I was confronting the pizza Nazi. As a fellow business owner - I am well aware that it isn't really the customer that makes the business successful - its the REPEAT customer! Sadly there is no way I would opt to order from Our Original Pizza again because there was nothing about the tasteless pizza with the chewy crust or the unremarkable wings that justified the price they charged ($30), The complimentary bitch-titude is probably turning people away left and right. I understand they are located in a tough section of town, however there's absolutely no need to let the hospitality go by the wayside. There's pizza joints in much less desirable locations who go out of their way to be nice to their customers because they hope to keep them coming back. read more

Haven't eaten from here, but tried to order delivery, and got a full serving of attitude for free! At $30 for a large 3 topping pie, I'd rather pass. read more

Always on the look out for great pizza, I tried this place MUCH to my displeasure. A tad overpriced for what you get. Ordered an 8 cut pizza. Wasn't cooked all the way through. Got 3 homemade cupcakes that were kinda stale and not fresh, @ 2 bucks a whack. I always have reservations when I walk into a place at dinner time & I am the only one in the joint. The front service counter was loaded up with what looked like pizza that had been there all day. Won't be back. read more

Just had the chicken parm & Zita with a veggie filled salad that's to die for. With a loaf of their fresh baked bread. This place is the real deal! Try it for yourself! read more

Just ordered a 12 cut. So over cooked, we couldn't even cut it with a knife. So disappointed.

Took almost 2 hours for delivery. Didn't even have all of my food that I ordered. Was rude on the phone. Wouldn't credit anything back to my account. The food it self; chicken parm was dry. Salad is plain. Cheesecake was good though! Never ordering here again. read more

Ordered 2 New Yorkers, they are huge! The pizza was good, not great and was a bit over cooked. Search for the perfect pie continues...

This is a great pizzaria. Their crust is different than the traditional downstate pie that I'm used to but still delicious. Specialty slices are great and my favorite is the white with broccoli. They don't skimp on the garlic, which is a big plus. Their wings are delicious and perfectly cooked. Whenever I'm up in Schenectady I try to hit this place. read more

I tried their sausage pizza because I had a coupon. It was terrible. I usually get pizza at I love new york pizza on union st which is wonderful but a little pricy. It was hard to say what was worse the cheese or the crust. read more

It's too bad because I loved this place about 15 years ago. But the last 2 pizzas I got from there weren't cooked all the way through, very doughy and white on the bottom. After the first one like that I figured I would give them one more chance and same thing, you shouldn't have to specify that you want your pizza cooked all the way through, never again. read more

They have the best thing I've ever tasted...any one ever hear of "rice balls"? Me neither, but they're these delicious homemade fried balls of rice and cheese. My wife gets hers just rice and cheese with some butter, I get mine with meat and cheese. I like the fresh mozzarella pizzas too. read more

Had to try because mixed reviews and I was looking for a new pizza place. Unfortunately The food was inedible. Fried Mushrooms especially. Ate one threw them all out. New Yorker pizza was huge but not great at all. I would proceed with caution. read more

I went a few times and the last time I think the lady (pizza nazi) kicked me out of the store. I wasn't really understanding what exactly is going on at this place, but the dynamic is weird. She smokes right in the restaurant when she is making the pizza. Kind of funny in a weird way though. read more

Its a GREAT place to order from. I order online and its always as I ask. Even the changes/requests. Deivery is always on time or within 15min give or take. The delvery person is always good to me. And shes always beautiful. read more
