Crescent pizza — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

Be careful of the fake reviews. For instance the five star review from youseff alissa has a photo with a marble background that can be found online so this might be a stock photo. (It was removed by someone). It’s hard to know how many of the other reviews are accurate. Also no phone number to call to contact the business listed anywhere on their site.

You can see that I have actually bought the food that I am reviewing. The whole picture was taken from inside the restaurant. This was a coupon deal coming with large cheese, six garlic knots, one 2L soda. The garlic knots were four out of five. Two of the six garlic knots were slightly doughy on the inside. A good amount of oil and Parmesan. The soda was not produced by them. They didn’t have the one I want, but that’s not against them, sometimes you get what you get. The pizza is a 3.5. It was a nice thin crust. It felt like the right amount of sauce. Not overly tomatoey but enough to support the pizza and the cheese. That’s where it’s losing some stars. Something felt off in the cheese flavor. For a one time attempt, this is what the review gets. If I go back again or get a chance to try a slice by itself, I’ll have to verify if the flavor issue is still there or not. I usually get a plain cheese and I do not add anything on top so I can taste the pizza as it was made without any embellishments. The crust itself is also very important. Can I make it through the pizza and eat the back of the crust? Some pizza’s the back of the crust is not worth it. It makes me wonder how much better or worse the pizza would be since it is masked by the sauce, cheese and potential toppings. I ate all the crust.

Bottom line, I would give them a try again. There is one other new one that just opened up in the area and yet a third one that should be opening up soon as well. Lots of places to try although I still have...

“Don’t believe me just watch.” Trinidad James Now that I’ve gotten your attention by quoting a fav in my music rotation. Let me tell you about this pizza spot. Lately I’ve been on my Google Maps kick and by that I mean heavily utilizing the navigation portion for everything. See I’m new to Albany, but not new to a good NY slice and I was absolutely craving one.

By using my G-Maps, which I wish I could review because I absolutely love; I quickly located this spot. It was a short 5 min drive from where I was located.It is a well lit corner restaurant with limited parking on the side of the building. The restaurant itself is no frills;however the pizza makes up for it. I chose a veggie slice and it did not disappoint. It was filled with all the best veggies and heated up from my enjoyment.To my surprise there were also a plethora of delicious looking dessert options. Since, I like a little dessert to coincide with my dinner, I grabbed some appeasing looking baklava. If you are new to my reviews or a native, let me either give you the 411 or a refresher on me I LOVE A GOOD SWEET TREAT! Now back to the baklava. This was a satisfying sweet treat. I don’t even think my words could describe for you how good it was to me. Who knew you could grab fresh baklava from a pizza spot? Now you and I both know.

So if you’re looking for some good pizza in Albany head to Crescent Pizza and grab some. Since the parking is limited I suggest ordering ahead for a...

I finally tried this pizza after hearing all the hype and reading the glowing reviews. For context, I’ve been a regular at many pizza places in the region like Paesan's, Di Fazio, Dom's, you name it, for years.

The pizza is genuinely very good - leans a bit toward bar-style, but the dough is quite flavorful. I rarely finish the crust at the other places, but this one kept me going.

My main issue is the salt. I ordered the Margherita, and the tomato sauce was way too salty. I don’t understand the trend of over-salting everything. Are we all trying to raise our blood pressure on purpose? btw, Margherita pizza typically uses a simple tomato sauce made from crushed or pureed tomatoes. This one obviously had extra ingredients. The amount of mozzarella was optimal.

This is clearly more of a takeout spot. I wouldn’t really choose to dine in. The staff was very friendly. Will order...
