Small wood-fired cheese pizza was awesome.
Pauline L.

The weather was sweltering.We weren't keen on cooking. My husband and I noticed that Pizzeria Michelina was open. We placed a lunchtime take out order: one personal cheese pizza and one personal Puttanesca. As I've said before, it's a small but cute restaurant. There is seating. It's got an open kitchen so you can see the brick oven which is big. It takes up most of the kitchen. The four members of the staff and management who somehow fit into that small kitchen greeted us as we came in. They said,"It's warm in the kitchen but not as bad as last week because we've been working on making it better." This time, I remembered to bring my phone so I've some photos to share! It may be one hot summer but at Pizza Michelina they're ready to serve up pizzas and even some great looking desserts.

Cheese Pizza

It's definitely tasty. I LOVE the wood fire taste. I had two types...the Marinara Pizza and the Plain Cheese Pizza, I DEF loved the Marinara Pizza more! I wasn't expecting that but it definitely has a better taste and consistency, not sure why seeing as their assumingly made from the same ingredients (unless the sauce used for the Marinara Pizza is different than the other pizzas) but it has a better complexity and mouthfeel. As far as the regular pizza I might opt out of it in favor for the Mariana, it just tastes a little too bland for my taste. I would order from there again. Maybe I'll try their other flavors

This is the best pizza I have eaten in my whole life. To be fair, I don't necessarily consider myself a pizza expert but I have lived in and eaten pizza in a number of cities (LA, NYC, SF, Chicago, ATL). I also have tried the reportedly good pizza in albany (defazio's for example). However this was just hands down the most amazing pizza. The ingredients were fresh. The crust was thin, soft, chewy but also slightly crispy. The cheeses were high quality. Talked to one of the owners who said they're building a greenhouse in the basement to grow fresh vegetables and ingredients. They're also in the process of making their own mozzarella for the pizzas. The owner is part Sicilian and has been trying to re-create his grandmas pizzas for over 20 years. Right now they only have two of the pizzas available because it's still a soft opening. I will say that they are working on fixing some of the workflow issues. For example, yesterday they closed early because they had issues with the cash register. However, I think that with the full menu, and working out some of the kinks of opening, this will become the best pizza in the capital region.

Personal pizza with 'roni, sausage, mushrooms & spinach.

Delicious, thin, chewy crust crisped to perfection. Fresh ingredients (including the mushrooms which were fresh NOT canned). Food arrived quickly and hot. Some of the best pizza in Albany I've had so far.

Fat-Cat ..

I've been going here since they first opened up. Every single time, every single pizza is perfect without a doubt, five star every time.

Burnt pizza

Got 2 slices eat half the first one but it was still burnt, felt it in my body than threw out the other, idk if people like burnt pizzas but why would you give this to someone

Really good wood-fired pizza in a neat little spot on Delaware Ave. The cheese and sauce both have a great flavor, with a nice, charred, crispy crust. Enjoyed chatting with the owner for a bit when I picked up my pie.

This place came up with great reviews, albeit only a couple so far, and we decided to check it out. We drove to the location, which had limited street parking, but we were able to find a spot using my parallel parking skills, then we headed inside. It was a small place, with 2 tables that each sat 4. The TV was on, and we chatted with the guy on the counter who shared a menu with us. In the end we settled for a traditional cheese and pepperoni pizza. No one was using the tables, and we decided to eat in rather than head back to our hotel. We chatted and waited for our pizza, which was done quick and was delicious! Everything you could want from a thin new york style pizza. Good amount of cheese, charred pepperoni, not overcooked or burnt, the crust was soft and delicious. The service was awesome. Every worker we spoke to was nice and personable, without being annoying, over the top or in the way. We were offered silverware and plates, and enjoyed our pizza, before needing a box despite it being so good. I would definitely consider heading back here the next time i'm in Albany, great food AND great service at a reasonable price, what more could you want?

Great service, whenever I order from here I always see the same two workers. They're both awesome…read morepeople and never disappoint.

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.

I've gotten to eat from this food truck 2 times (when it was at Fort Orange Brewing) and have been…read morevery happy both times. You can't always tell if a food truck at a brewery will be a hit or not - but this one was. The bottom crust had a nice char and the edges were pillowy. There were 4 flavors to choose from each time - so you should be able to find an option that you like. I've tried 3 different pizzas and was really surprise at how good the pizza was. Good ingredients, good flavor combinations, and cooked really well. Follow their FB page to see where they will be. I will definitely keep tabs on their events and follow them around. I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like!

The pizza was outstanding for our wedding and our guests absolutely loved it! We heard many rave reviews from our family, and they were even able to accommodate some special requests on the spot. Absolutely amazing! And we got leftover pizza afterwards, which was a lifesaver particularly for me and my husband since we were being pulled in many directions throughout the night. Thank you Craig for making our wedding so special, I know we will be visiting you again soon!

My dinner mate kept saying it was tofu but I don't know if it was that either. We also ordered mozzarella sticks which were fine, nice size, typical mozzarella sticks. We also ordered quesadillas that we put in the fridge for the next day. My mate took it for lunch the next day and he said he threw it in the garbage. Three stars for the mozzarella sticks.

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.
