Food was great as always... gluten free.....fast and lots to bring home...great service ...busy but…read morenot overly crowded which is good

Our experience with Chef John LaPosta over many years, at various locations, has always been…read morepositive. We also are fans of the Detroit style pizza we were first introduced to at Whitman Brewing in Saratoga. Korner Bar & Grill is closer to our home, and it would be more convenient if their pizza was equally as good. Arriving on a Saturday around 6 PM it was apparent that they are already popular after being open for only about one week. None of the tables were available and only 4 seats at the very long bar were vacant. We chose two bar seats that were the furthest from the dining room where a fellow was entertaining with his guitar and singing. These seats were close to the entrance with an occasional cold draft as people arrived and left. We chose these seats because the noise level was unbearable everywhere else. I actually turned my hearing aids off to tolerate the noise level. Our server at the bar was friendly and welcoming. She quickly served us water and provided us with a "cheat sheet" of the available beverages. There is no written food menu. Numerous QR code cards are posted asking you to use your phone to read the food menu. A soda ($3.50) for my wife and a 20 oz. draft Modelo ($7.50) for me were quickly served. Most impressive was how quickly the kitchen served our apps. 5 minutes! Yes, FIVE MINUTES! Crinkle Cut Fries ($6) and Uber Cheese Stixs ($13). I've never had fries from Nathans so I can't attest whether these compare fairly as implied by the menu. But I grew up on crinkle cut fries that my Mom made, and hers were better. My wife thought that many of these fries seemed like they were dehydrated. The menu says that the Uber Cheese Stixs are house made with 5 types of cheeses and a corn flake breading. The breading was nice and crispy and the cheese inside was soft to almost runny. The best part IMO was the melba sauce. Our two 8-inch square (6 pieces each) pizzas were delivered in a very reasonable 15 minutes. My wife went with the weekly special Shrimp Scampi ($17). I choose the basic cheese pizza with San Marzano tomatoes ($12) and added three toppings (sausage, mushrooms, & peppers) for $7 more. Both of our pizzas were flavorful and were actually more flavorful the second day - although less crispy, of course. Just like I've never been to Nathans for fries, I've never had pizza in Detroit. If I'm comparing Detroit Style pizza in Colonie with Detroit Style pizza in Saratoga Springs, I would prefer Saratoga. While KB&G has an airy dough, I think Whitman's is slightly lighter and airier. Both have nice crispy cheese edges, but KB&G edge is oilier. Somebody let me know what days/times are the slowest. I'd like to return.

I called ahead on my way up the Northway for a visit with family. It was ready when I got there…read more Two gigantic square thick pizzas piping hot. The pizzas were great lunch. Plenty of sauce and cheese. I forgot to get a photo. I've never been in the restaurant part of this establishment. I have gotten ice cream though! Friendly people, great service. The restaurant has cool decor.

I expected more of a "sit down" restaurant based on the way the exterior looked so I was a little…read moresurprised to see that it was more of a "super casual go to the counter to order your stuff and sit where you want and we will bring it to you" kind of place. I was actually happy with the latter and liked the vibe. There was a small wireless speaker cranking out some tunes. We sat near a large table with young parents and little kids enjoying wings (which looked and smelled great), pizza, soda and beer. The pizza is primarily thick crust/Michigan style, but they also offer the thin crust/traditional kind. We decided on the (thick crust) hot honey for half of the pizza and just regular cheese the other side. It was served piping hot - don't burn your face or chins on scalding cheese drips. Since we could only order an 8-cut, we had lots leftover. I thought the sauce was really good-thick, dark tasty red sauce. I would have put a bit more hot honey on my side but I'm a little cray. (I like my food to be painful sometimes). We started with some fries that were really good. I liked the spicy mayo it was served with; didn't love whatever ketchup option was available. The service was friendly and I'd definitely go back again.
