Pizza Zilla — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

(Doordash order) My husband and I tried out this new pizza joint; honest review is probably closer to a 3.8 - could surely use some improvements but overall not bad and would try again in the future!

The pizza overall was decent, and the crust was good, in my opinion. My husband, however, did not quite enjoy it. He said it was too thick and too chewy. For my side, I enjoyed it. The sauce had a very nice flavor. It wasn't too greasy, and I felt the cheese ratio was good!

The garlic twists were not my favorite (forever trying to find the best garlic knots in the region still....) I did enjoy they came in a different shape than your typical garlic Knot. However, I felt like shaping them as twist made it easy for them to be overcooked and too chewy.

The wings were not our favorite, I did not try the bone in, but a friend we invited said they were not bad overall. The boneless was decent, but I felt very much overall tasted similar to just a frozen chicken nugget covered lightly in sauce. I did like the honey mustard boneless chickens the best.

Overall, not a bad spot. I think some improvements could be had, but all in all, I'd give it another chance. The food got here quickly, hot, and the packaging was excellent. The garlic twists / knots could use a bit of tweaking. A little more flavor, and maybe cooked a hair less.

I love that they offer a good variety of pizzas, and I'm willing to give some other items on the menu a try. I don't believe we'd get the wings again, but trying other things may be an option!

They also have decent prices & deals, love to see that!

I'm also a bit obsessed they have little pizza tables in their pizza boxes, I don't see that often anymore, so...

This pizza location just recently opened. I like to know my options in the area if I am there. They are currently running as of this posting a deal for a large cheese, garlic knots, and a soda. I won’t review the soda since that is not theirs. Starting backwards, you can see that these are not actually garlic knots but instead garlic twists. It’s not better or worse, although these twists might actually be easier and preferred, over the garlic knots. They were a little bit easier to hold although there was not as much of the parmesan and oil topping as I recently had elsewhere.

The pizza was a little bit thicker than what I would like, but that’s a preference, not something related to taste. There was enough sauce, and the cheese tasted fine. For some reason though, and it may have been the crust itself, but the pizza was slightly dry and chewy here. I usually just get a cheese pizza without any topping so I can taste the food by itself without any embellishments. You can mask bad flavor by putting toppings. I will also try the back end of the crust just to see how it is by itself. This is where it lost that star. I did find it surprising. I assume the dough for the garlic twist was the same for the pizza. These garlic twists were baked good enough. They weren’t doughy or crunchy. But why I like the flavor of the garlic twist, the crust on the pizza somehow was without much flavor.

Did this work in a pinch? Yes. Would I give it a second try? Yes. Since I got the soda that came along with the garlic twist, and even that was just so I could try it and review. I will consider their takeout only special on a large cheese if I...

Pizza Zilla is an absolute gem in the Albany area! Whether you’re a die-hard pizza lover or just looking for something fast and filling, this place hits the spot every time.

I tried their [insert your favorite pizza here, e.g., “Buffalo Chicken Pizza”], and it was 🔥 — the crust was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the toppings were fresh and generously loaded. The sauce has a great balance of sweetness and tang, and the cheese pull is real.

The menu is also surprisingly diverse — you can get everything from classic slices to creative specialty pies, wings, garlic knots, and even desserts if you’re still hungry.

Staff was friendly, service was quick, and the place was clean. Whether you’re grabbing a late-night bite or ordering for a group, Pizza Zilla delivers — literally and figuratively.

Highly recommend. This might just be your new go-to pizza...
