    Double sauce pizza with sprinkles of Parmesan cheese
    Bianca A.

    Worst place ever!!!! I ordered a double cheese pizza and received a double sauce pizza with sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. They really had the audacity to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on this pizza. THE WORST!!!!!

    Cheese pizza

    On a whim, I stopped here for pizza. Yum! Crispy bottom crust gives way to tender, chewy deliciousness. Flavorful sauce and just enough cheese but not too much to make it greasy. They have an extensive juice bar so you can detox after gorgeing yourself. I like that they had their wheat grass growing right on the counter. Lots of vegan protein powders to choose from. I am not a big juicer, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it alongside the pizza. And now for a confession: I have never had a canoli! So tonight I tried one. The first thing that struck me was the hint of cinnamon. OMG. Then there was the creamy, succulent filling. I gobbled it up and didn't take a picture. But it was great. They had cakes and cookies to try in the future. Pizza Buono is proud of their efforts to be healthy and green. They list everything on the wall; the only thing that really struck me as unique is they compost the kitchen scraps. They have upgraded their lights and offer whole wheat crust pizzas, among others. For a whim, this pizzeria turned out to be a great discovery. I saw they had salads so I will come back when less rushed and check out the full menu.

    Best pizza in Schenectady. The specialty pizzas (lasagna, chicken Parm) and the calzones are awesome. A great family owned place.

    We've been on a search for a good pizza place after our local one closed. Poppy's gets a lot of…read morepositive reviews from the community, but I can't see why. The pizza is akin to the type of pizza you'd get from a birthday. You can tell when a pizza place uses fresh, high quality ingredients, and Poppies just doesn't. The dough is clearly pressed and the pizza (and wings) are just poor quality. The service was good enough and the overall cleanliness of the place appeared good. However, I can not recommend as a good place to go for a quality slice.

They offer online ordering, but it is slightly more with the service fee than ordering in person or over the phone. This location has been the home to All In The Family Pizza (moved), Roman's Pizzeria & Deli, and Tasty Pizzeria. I stopped by Poppy's Pizzeria for a quick bite. The place was quite busy with the phone ringing. To make things quick, I got the 2 Pizza Slices with Topping & 20 oz drink for $8 plus tax. I chose a slice of pepperoni and a slice of sausage which were heated up in the oven. There is not much seating inside, but there is ample picnic table seating outside shared with Poppy's Ice Cream. The hot pizza slices were pretty good, which had a thin firm soft and chewy crust topped with the right amount of tomato sauce, meat toppings and melted cheese. I will have to try their calzone on the next visit.

The businesses are located a couple of blocks from the gateway marking the entrance to Schenectady's Little Italy. So much history, food and romance in this neighborhood. We had Sunday brunch at More Perreca's. The bakery is closed on Sunday but I got a Sausage Lettuce Tomato sandwich served on toasted Perreca's bread. It was so delish. The Italian sausage was served with lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic puree, mayo and side salad. Everything was so fresh. My $11 meal was reasonably priced. The garlic purée was amazing. They need to bottle it. I'd buy some. My friend had the Mac and cheese and an espresso martini. He loved both. Rachelle was our server. She was wonderful. Very helpful. She explained some of the menu to me because there were a number of Italian sausage dishes. The food was prepared quickly which was great because we were hungry. Rachelle came back later to check on us. I gave her a thumbs up and a smile while busily chewing a bite of sandwich. The restaurant is charming with nice tin ceilings and big windows to let the light in. There are many booths which makes it cozy. When we arrived most of the tables were full. Based on the chatter in the room it sounded as though a lot of friends had gathered at the restaurant to literally break bread over brunch. The menu offers a nice variety: from egg breakfasts, assorted salads to Italian classics. It was an all around yummy and enjoyable experience. I let Rachelle know that we'll be coming back.

Our server, Rachelle M. was great! My app was garlic parm wings that were tasty & crispy-perfect. Three of us had the eggs in purgatory- 3 eggs cooked in a spicy marinara sauce w/ 4 pieces of toasted Perreca's famous Italian bread. Highly recommend this dish that's always on their menu. Others had the very good eggplant rollatini over spaghetti. The original coal-fired bakery is next door offering their signature crusty bread, red tomato pie, cheeses, meatballs, salamis, soppersottas, olives, giant cupcakes, & cannolli. Located in Schenectady's Little Italy. Restaurant hours: Sun, Wed, Thursday 11am-7pm, Fri & Sat 10am-8pm, closed Mon & Tue. More's Perreca's never disappoints. Beer, wine, & cocktails served so try here for brunch too. Thank you, Rachelle & staff. We had a great time. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY, USA
