Brooklyn's Finest - nope. Albany's Worst - yup. Predatory financial math - keep reading. Poor communication. Poor listening skills. If you want 2/3 of your order to be incorrect, to be misinformed, and to experience a predatory cash financial transaction then Paesan's is the establishment for you. Paesan's delivered tonight. The man who delivered is CREEPY. I spoke to Natasha when I placed the order. I ordered a CRISPY chicken salad, a 2 Liter Diet Dr. Pepper, and a six cut pizza crispy with mushrooms. The bill came to $39 or $40. I explained to Natasha that I have $20s and please ask the delivery person to bring singles and fives. I asked for singles more than once. I was given a 2 Liter Dr. Pepper soda, the pizza, and the salad and broke a $20 bill with the delivery man. He gave me a $10 bill and 2 $5 bills despite having told Natasha I wanted singles (so that I could choose a tip amount). Remember everyone: TIPS is To Insure Proper Service. Anyway, I had to ask multiple times for singles. PREDATORY. CREEPY. Then I was told that I could have a 2 Liter Pepsi seemingly tonight OR I could have a 2 Liter Diet Dr. Pepper delivered tomorrow OR not at all as "stores may be closed". I had already tipped him because he INITIALLY said that he would return with the Diet Dr. Pepper and tipped him $3 planning on tipping him again when he returned with the Diet Dr. Pepper. Review: I tipped him $3 because he initially told me he would return. AFTER tipping him I received the tonight OR tomorrow OR store information. Clearly he didn't like the 7.5% tip. So I called and spoke to Natasha after a poorly communicative man answered. I told Natasha above. After a 4.5 minute hold her resolve was to drive 2 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper at 24 oz. total vs. a 2 Liter Diet Dr. Pepper because she "misheard" me. Diet Dr. Pepper is ONLY available in cans at Paesan's. I have no way of knowing this. She offered this PREDATORY mathematical amount due to supposed price. Oh! And the online menu prices are LESS than the ACTUAL prices. For example: the online price of a crispy chicken salad is $10.99 yet my receipt has a different price: $11.99 which is ANOTHER PREDATORY financial issue from Paesan's. I opened the salad while on hold. It was NOT crispy chicken. Rather, it was GRILLED chicken. NOT what I ordered. 2 Liters is 67.628 oz. yet Natasha offered 24 oz. instead. Unacceptable! The images demonstrate online price lower than invoice price, NO soda can prices at all, and inability to know the price of a 12 oz. can of soda vs. a $3.99 price for the 2 Liter soda I paid for and did not receive. Further predatory behavior from delivery personnel is telling me $40 when I asked the price rather than telling me the precise price. A tip is NOT required but it is EXPECTED in American society. Worse, it's EXPECTED when service is awful. AVOID Paesan's!

First of all, I ordered my food at 7:50 pm. They site says they close at 9. I get home to shower before I go pick it up and they are blowing up my phone to tell me they close at 8:30pm. I get there and I get the food and get home and the wings look like this. NO WHERE else have I ordered wings and they are dried out because they are “hot”. The store was closed so I couldn’t call back and complain. I called and he basically told me to bring the wings back which is a health hazard. So I called the food and health department and complained about that. I got off of work and I wasn’t going to Uber home to get some wings and Uber to Paesan’s and they not giving my money back…. So I ubered there with the video. Long story short the wings looked like this and he said all the wings looked like this. He could’ve just given me the money back for the wings but no he wants to deny me and say he’s not gonna give me any free food. So I took my business down the street and will not be returning to Paesan’s. I honestly don’t care how good the pizza is. Customers are always right and now I will be going on TikTok to share the video of the wings and how he said all the wings look like that. When you make barbecue wings and they are hot… do they look dried out like this? No they don’t. Very disappointed in Paesan’s. They wouldn’t even give me the corporate number but that’s ok because I called the health department anyways 🤷🏾♀️

Another long day with dad at Albany Med.. since we opted to skip lunch and have an earlier dinner... I knew where we needed to go... Paesan's Pizza ! 😋🍕🍗 We brought a well deserved dinner to Matt over at Hilton Garden Inn Albany Medical Center who has been excellent with customer service over the last few weeks too! I've always loved the taste of Paesan's but this time got to share it with my mom too! Feels like family when you are at Paesan's! Supporting local businesses that support their community is so critical! Awesome job to Franchi & the team here!
