    sicilian thick crust
    Christopher M.

    I ordered a grandma pizza, which is my favorite kind of pizza. The place is highly recommended so I was excited. Unfortunately, what they served was not grandma pizza. It was a sicilian pizza with sauce and fresh mozza and very thin slices of basil. The sauce wasn't on top of the cheese and as I said, it was a standard sicilian crust. They need to change the name of this to a sicilian margherita pizza. I brought it up to the person at the register and all he said was "sorry" and then he turned his back to me as he walked back into the kitchen. Needless to say I was disappointed.

    We happened to find this gem of a pizza shop whilst visiting colleges for my oldest child. Nestled in a quaint little spot we eagerly ordered our pizzas & filled drinks from the fountain spot. The counter worker was friendly & patient & brought our pizzas out within 15min. The pizza was perfect- crisp crust that wasn't limp, tasty sauce , & a delicious blend of cheese. The toppings were cooked to perfection. This place is a must visit every time we are in the area.

The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant is great for a romantic evening or a quiet family dinner. We love that they have clearly marked on the menu all the vegan options and what is vegetarian to make ordering easy. Ordering online is simple but it's just as easy to call and place an order of you have any questions or concerns. This time I ordered a large pizza with vegan cheese. Half the pizza had artichokes and kalamata olives, the other half was topped with fresh sliced mushrooms and vegan sausage. No canned mushrooms here! I think its great that they know their ingredients. The Vegan cheese is always browned and properly melted. You don't have to tell them extra crispy or well done, they aren't going to give you a pizza that does look and taste delicious! Anytime we are in the Latham area and looking for a place crowd pleaser where we can order for us and the rest of the family that doesn't eat vegan food, Midpoint is at the top of the list! There really is something for everyone!

I'm also a sucker for anything that resembles pasta, so when I saw pasta on a pizza, it was a must try. I'm heading back to Albany right now, and this will be the first thing I order to my hotel.

There is limited parking on the premises but always parking on the street if you don't mind some walking. The slightly rustic, lodge type of interior matches the friendly vibes as well as the interesting drink selections, including a side menu filled with signature coffee whiskey cocktails! Their tipsy cocktails and beer menu is also quite attractive. My group and I were able to walk in on a weekend evening for dinner with no wait and while it was packed inside, it still felt roomy enough. However, the surrounding tables were rowdy and the noise was reverberating. Our server was attentive though she did admit it was busy and the wait time for orders would take a bit longer than usual. The menu has plenty of starters that are highly shareable, poutine, salads, soups, mac and cheese, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, and quesadillas. Haven't had real poutine in ages so I decided to try their gravy fries with smoked cheese curds and added bacon. It was a good portion for the price ($15+) and came out hot on a cast iron skillet. The cheese curds weren't the type I expected and melted down too much, and did not have that squeaky cheese bite one would want in poutine. The gravy and the bacon worked well with the fries though! The smoked brisket French onion soup ($8+) was extremely hot when it first came out and I had to let it cool down before taking a spoonful. The cheese was so bubbly and delicious and the soup itself was flavorful (maybe a tad too salty), and had a balanced amount of onions and brisket. I would definitely get the soup again. Their barbecue pulled pork quesadilla ($15+) was also a bit too salty and meat was more tough than preferred. We also tried two of their mac and cheese selections, which came in a small cast iron pot each ($17+). The bacon chicken ranch mac and cheese was good but the jerk chicken mac and cheese was not as memorable (not much jerk flavor). Kudos for having a build-your-own mac and cheese option as well as a mac and cheese flight if you want to try more than one flavor. I'm glad to return to try other menu items at this tap and tavern and see what else catches my eye. While this visit wasn't spectacular, it also wasn't bad. The French onion soup is one thing I know I'd get over and over again. Oh, they also have a credit card transaction fee that you will see once you get the bill. Pay in cash if you mind said fee.

I haven't been to this original location on 4th St. in Troy for a few years. The family operation is nearly 100 years old. Remarkably, it's very much as I remember it. A tiny place with three tables. Some of the seating looks like repurposed church pews. The youthful staff, friendly as always. They were running into some delays as orders came pouring in just before dinnertime. They'd have to check to see if they could fit our order for a big pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and peppers. They squeezed us in! Since the wait would be between 20-30 minutes we kept ourselves busy by checking out the desserts in the self serve refrigerator. I picked out a slice of "hangover" (alcohol) cake and I devoured it before our meal arrived. It was so delicious and naughty fun to eat our dessert before the meal. The pizza was fantastic when it arrived. I prefer crisp crusts-- this one was not-- but it was awesome just the same. My friend and I were so hungry that we consumed half of the pie before I realized that we hadn't photographed our delicious pizza. The remaining half was boxed and taken home to be enjoyed for a couple more days. The staff was so ready. They came to our table with the box and we settled up our bill. A lot to be said for tradition and quality. I've also visited DeFazio's in Albany, but I have yet to visit the relatively new restaurant up the block. Thanks, DeFazio's, for another great meal.

The only things I believe they've kept in place from the original owners are the dough and sauce recipes. Other than that, this is not the Vintage Pizza that used to be. Today, I ordered 2 24 cut pizzas; 1 with extra pepperoni and extra cheese, the other half pepperoni and half cheese. I also ordered 40 boneless wings; 20 whoopie, and 20 hot. In the pictures I provided, you'll note a stark contrast between the pizza I received from Vintage in 2021 and today, 2023. I saw a previous review where a customer stated they use halal meats, and while I don't know if that's factual, I noticed a huge difference in the pepperoni. The pepperoni previously used was flavorful and crisped up nicely. The pepperoni I received on my pizza today was mostly rubbery in texture and bland in taste. There was extra cheese on the one pizza, as ordered. That, along with the dough, tasted okay. The boneless wing sauce left a lot to be desired. In the past, their hot sauce used to be hot, and their whoopie sauce used to be very hot. But now their hot sauce isn't spicy at all and tastes weird. Their whoopie sauce had some spice. But it's nothing to rave about. Especially when it's supposed to be a level up from hot sauce. Lastly, the new pricing is a big sticking point. I understand that supply costs have increased. But do the increased supply costs justify the nearly $15 increase of their Family Special #1 meal deal? And as you'll see in their ordering app, they also charge the full-toppings price when you order half-toppings. All in all, I'm pretty disappointed in the way this place has gone downhill. The quality of food you get for the price you pay is horrible. If left to choose between Vintage and a national chain like Domino's, I'm going with Domino's.
