    White Broccoli Ricotta Pizza and Papa Pizza
    Richard G.

    Recently moved to the area and my daughter also did too so we were checking out different restaurants and pizza places, etc. This is the first one we tried and enjoyed the pizza! We got the white broccoli ricotta and the Papa pizza. We enjoyed them both!

    Queen Margherita Pizza & Garlic Knots
    Isabella J.

    Uncle Rico's Pizza, where to begin. We doubted you. May 14th I had this crazy urge for pizza. Upon further investigation I discovered Uncle Rico's pizza place was just across the street from my apartment. Looking at reviews I was a little scared. That's when I decided to stalk the instagram page, where I found out you guys sponsor school sports and are loved among the community. I wanted to come here and give a good review, since for some reason the only people that have reviewed the place have done so in a negative way. We came with an open mind and we left with a new favorite pizza place. The Margherita pizza was delicious, you could really taste the seasoning in the sauce, I loved it. Paired with the garlic knots..where do I begin. Those garlic knots were my favorite. Everything about them was perfect, crispy on the outside, nice soft texture on the inside. I deeply enjoyed the food this place had to offer and will definitely be back.

    XL Extra Cheese extra pep

    Ordered for tonight. No complaints from anyone at the house. The pizza is delicious and extra cheesy, just the way we like it. Delivery driver left it in the correct location, and called once he placed it their. I really appreciate that as I also have dogs and did not want them barking. Haven't ordered from here in a while as I have not wanted pizza, but 10/10 next time I order, it will be from Uncle Rico's. Thanks Uncle!

    Cauliflower crust pizza was delicious. Sauce was very flavorful. Toppings were generous and jalapeños had the right amount of heat.

    As advertised! Good pizza and wings. BBQ and medium wings were perfect. They don't have veggies but blue cheese is real and chunky.

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.

First off, presentation and crust game? Solid. You're getting a good bake, decent structure, and slices that hold their own. Not floppy, not overly stiff right in that respectable middle lane. That's a win. Now let's talk about the sauce... because this is where things get mixed. Taking a look at some of the chatter on Yelp, there's a noticeable trend and I've got to agree. The sauce is inconsistent. Some bites hit with a nice tang and balance, but others feel either a little too sweet or lacking depth. It doesn't always punch through the cheese like you want it to. For a place trying to compete in the pizza game, sauce consistency is everything--and right now, it's just not elite. Cheese and toppings are good--not mind-blowing, but definitely respectable. No complaints there. Quality is there, just not standout.

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.

Others had the very good eggplant rollatini over spaghetti.
