We got a cheese calzone & small cheese pizza. Both were delicious. We got them to go. The hostess was very nice.

This is the home of the best pizza in town. They also have good quality food and the service is excellent. We meet there once a month with 15-17 people. I recommend to anyone. read more

If you're looking for New York style Pizza, This is it... definitely my to go place...

Best antipasto salad in the city. Cheesy garlic bread right out of the oven melts in your mouth. Great pizza and very good Italian dishes. Service is good, but like most places they are sometimes short on servers. Price is reasonable, especially for the high quality of food you receive. read more

The sauce needs more herbs and spices. The chicken was tough and dry. The calzone was very good with just the right amount of cheese. Sarah was a great waitress. This was her first day and she was a terrific waitress. read more

Don't be dismayed by the outer look of this place. Absolutely amazing! Food was some of the best pizza we've ever had. Service was incredible and our waitress was super sweet. Great prices and super clean! Recommend 10/10!!! read more

One of the best pizza I've ever eaten. The best place to go for authentic Mexican food.

I am giving this place a nostalgic 5 stars. I have been enjoying Picnic Pizza for decades since it was at the mall and on Slappey. The regular waitresses are great. I will say the individual slice quality control has reduce in recent years. Sometimes the slice will be only about four bites of cheese and the rest was bubbled up and burnt towards the crust. But I still go back as an Albany staple so that says it all. It is worth a visit. I know they have other good looking sandwiches although I haven't ordered them before. read more

Just returned from 3 years living in Sicily when my daughter suggested Picnic. I was not hopeful about the food being authentic, but I was way off. Probably the most authentic pasta in red sauce I've ever had in SWGA. Highly recommend the baked ziti and manicotti. Both were very authentic. read more

Great food.and great service make PicnicPizza a delicious choice for small gatherings and family get-together! Everything is cooked to order and is always hot and fresh. From crisp salads and appetizers to hot, loaded pizza, calzones and their wonderful meatball sandwich, you are sure to find something tasty to make your mouth water and satisfy even the hungriest appetite! read more

I think this restaurant has an identity crisis. Why name it "PICNIC" pizza? As you walk in you see decor for an Italian restaurant and paper placemat with a map of Italy. Menu has several pasta Italian style dishes. However the pizza is AMERICAN style, not made like they do in Italy. Pizza was good, not great, and in a small town like Albany, maybe this is the best pizza you can get? read more

Picnic Pizza - Supreme Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Albany, Georgia

This has got to be the best pizza in the Albany area. I've seen a lot of chain restaurants come but there's consistency with them. A MUST when you're in town or just in the mood for pizza or authentic Italian. I wish they had later hours on the weekends though. read more

So many great foods to choose from. I try something different each time I visit. Best Italian hands down

Seriously-- listen. Don't judge this place by the fact it looks like a pop-up plaza pizza place (say that 5 times fast). The Italian food here blows any Italian place I have been to in this area away. Better than Villa Gargano. Better than Osteria. It's fresh and delicious. My only complaint is that the service is slow - sometimes we will sit at a booth waiting 10 minutes before we meet a server or have anyone acknowledge us. We know the food is worth it so we wait. We are also aware of shortages on staff since no one wants to actually work anymore. I would suggest a better location, a more Italian atmosphere-- lower lights, richer colors, and Italian music (anything is better than the local country music station that was playing the last time I was there), and maybe less "cafeteria" like. There is so much potential here! Truly love the food! read more

We love this place! The pizza is fantastic! Authentic Italian entrees and homemade bread makes this place my families favorite for lunch or dinner. read more

Love this place good food nice people, friends and family always want ti go there...........

Having gone to Italy has ruined me on Italian food in the United States. For two weeks after returning nothing tasted good. I could taste the freezer burn on the meatballs at Olive Garden. Nothing "Italian" tasted like the food in Italy. In the nine years since, I have again grown accustomed to American cuisine including the Italian version. Olive Garden has become once again an acceptable substitute. I imagine when you have limited food quality choices, the best available becomes the best period. Then someone comes along and gives you the real thing and shatters your world. That's what happened when my wife and I came to Picnic Pizza. We started off with fried Calamari and it was the perfect mix of slice rings of the squid mantle and small whole squids. The key to good calamari is timing when cooking, and these were well timed; not too tough, not too soft, but just right. Add a little red pepper to the homemade marinara and you're in for a real treat. Then we had Fettuccine Milano. This dish is a mixture of fettuccine, homemade Alfredo sauce, ham, peas, and mushrooms. The moment I tasted it I was taken instantly back to the first moment I tasted Spaghetti Carbonara at a small restaurant in the shadow of the Pantheon in Rome. The sauce was thick but not overly thick, and compared to most American restaurants serving what they call Italian food it wasn't in the same ballpark. To steal a quote from Pulp Fiction, "it isn't even the same... sport!". This sauce was to die for. Now, mind you I stared my review before my wife ordered the tiramisu for dessert. I was already in culinary heaven. But then I put a fork full of this exquisite confection into my mouth and my mind froze. I could hardly chew it was so good! Normally I eat my food like a marine rushing off to battle, but the tiramisu was so well textured, so perfectly chilled, and such an explosion of deliciousness I had to eat slow so I could process what my senses were telling me. Even after swallowing it I had to pause between bites because the flavor lingered teasing my taste buds and olfactory senses. To top it all off the bill didn't break the bank. The service was great, the owner's wife even came out to greet us, it was all so perfect. From the outside, it doesn't look like much as its in a strip mall next to the main mall. The sign is a little faded, the inside is plain looking, and the music on the radio was country. There is nothing wrong with any of that, but they certainly don't have a facade screaming "great Italian food here!" Even the name implies it's just another pizza place, but if anyplace ever had reason for you to say "never judge a book by its cover" this is the place! In summary, if you want to eat in Italian looking surroundings with food that has Italian names go to Olive Garden. But if you want the best homemade authentic Italian food west of the boot and south of the Mason/Dixon line come to Picnic Pizza! read more

Picnic Pizza - Best tiramisu ever! - Pizza Near Me - Albany, Georgia

This place was a perfect fit for a quick bite to eat in this part of town. We ordered a supreme pizza to share among three adults, and a small children's cheese pizza. Our supreme wasn't anything to write home about, contained canned black olives (too many for me) and canned mushrooms. The pizza wasn't greasy, but seemed pre-made and reheated for our meal. Quite honestly a bite fromthe children's cheese pan pizza was the best part of the meal. We also ordered side salads that were normal in size, fresh as expected, and tailored to our needs. All in all, I think id rather just go to mellow mushroom for something a little fresher and more options. read more

Delicious pizza!!! Some of the best we have ever eaten. Service very good. Nice casual family place.

In my opinion this is the best pizza in town. They aren't skimpy with the toppings and never have been in the twenty plus years I've eaten their pies. I've never had their other Italian dishes but judging by the amount of folks I see eating something other than pizza, I'd guess the other dishes must be pretty good. They also offer an assortment of beer and wine. For my in-laws, who cook most meals from scratch and rarely eat out, this place is one of their favorites. The service here is usually pretty good, but we have eaten here in the past and they were severely understaffed. On recent visits it seems they've hired more help and we've had a great experience each time. As far as store layout goes, this place is a wide open large space. There are below the shoulder booths along the left and right walls, small 4 person tables and larger tables in the middle, and 2 person tables along the back wall. As far as attire, some come dressed up but most folks come wearing pretty casual clothing(jeans, shorts, t shirts, sandals). read more

The best fresh made Alfredo sauce in town, second only to my own home-made. The Pizza is excellent, at least my 14 year old says it's his absolute favorite. The Calzones are also good. We go often, one of our favorites. I have two go-to meals myself - the Fettuccine Milano, heaven on a plate, and the Chicken Florentine. I also like fettuccine with veggies and alfredo. read more

Great food, not the best atmosphere. This is a hidden gem in Albany for a good meal, but not for a hot date.
