De Fazio's

Tried them for the first time tonight. I’m only giving this 4 stars because I’m partial to a crispy and toasted crust all around, while yours is more of a doughy consistency. Great pizza, but not my favorite. Definitely would eat again though.

So excited to have our whole family gathered to enjoy your opening weekend. Thanks to Brendan for helping set it up and for our great wine selections. Maggie did a wonderful job with all 3 generations and was a pleasure to work with! We had a great selection of appetizers and 5 different types of pizzas. We all wish you great success at your beautiful new location! We look forward to returning.

Difazios a true staple of Troy, some of the best pizza around if not the best and good pasta options as well. Difazios is extremely busy so check to see if you can get food before you bank on it for a meal. No dining this is a pick up and delivery only situation. Pizza is well cooked and has a good crisp bottom with a generous portion of cheese and sauce. Had to bump them to 4 stars because there pasta dishes can be inconsistent and you dont always get the same taste as before aside from that jot much negative to say a great spot for a solid Italian take out choice.

We recently had a family outing at DeFazio’s new restaurant in Troy. Surprisingly we got parking spots close to their location and easily crossed the icy snow banks. Their new eatery is spacious and features 2 wood burning pizza ovens. We enjoyed a few glasses of smooth Nebbiolo, an excellent Little Italy cocktail and a very tasty Cutting Tiles double India pale ale. Our favorite evening’s dish was their pistachio / onion / mozzarella pizza with a drizzled honey accent. Their linguine with white clam sauce was serviceable, needing more garlic, sauce and clams. Similar comments were made regarding their linguine with meatballs. Based upon their drinks and pizza, a revisit could be in our future.

Nothing special to see here or eat here. Not sure where these 5 star reviews are coming from. The pizza was pretty doughy and so was the crust. I’ve had a boat load of pizza and this was a 2 star at best. It’s not even like they were busy when I had the pizza and they overlooked something. There was no excuse for the lame pizzas. There’s absolutely zero reason for me to return to this joint. Spend your $ elsewhere.

Sat in the De Fazio garden this afternoon and enjoyed a chicken and herb salad and a cheese pizza. The outdoor space is quaint with an herb garden in the rear. When we walked in, there was a wonderful aroma. I don't know what it was, but it smelled delicious. A young lady greeted us and walked us to the garden area. The service was excellent. This place has been in S. Troy for a long time, and you can tell they have an uncompromising quality. First they brought some garlic bread. My guess is that they use an infused olive oil. The garlic and herb flavor on this bread is delectable. The pizza came out first. What stood out for me are the ingredients. The cheese is high quality, not greasy and flavorful. Their pizza sauce is fresh, mild and delicious. It has a very slight sweetness, with fresh herbs. It is not spicy. Perfect for a bold red wine. The salad is fresh and has roasted red pepper, a medium provolone (a little sharp), cherry tomatoes, leafy greens, black olive and red onions. The chicken was slightly over-cooked, but seasoned nicely. I'd definitely get it again. I decided to get the hangover cake to go. This cake is so good. I think it made its way into my top 5 cakes. You must try it. Overall a great experience.

DeFazio’s Pizza in Troy, New York, is a true gem for pizza lovers. The food is absolutely amazing, deserving of a full five stars. Their wood-fired pizza is perfectly cooked with a crisp yet chewy crust that’s just the right balance. The fresh ingredients really make a difference—you can taste the quality in every bite. The service is also top-notch, earning another five stars. The staff are incredibly welcoming, treating everyone like family and making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

DeFazio’s has some of the best pizza in New York. The dough is airy and the crust is crispy, and charred perfectly. The sauce is so flavorful, and every pie tastes amazing. As for their dessert, definitely recommend the hangover cake. It’s so moist and melts in your mouth (picture taken after a bite or two😂). Just be prepared—getting a table or placing a takeout order isn’t easy. Make reservations a few days in advance, but it’s totally worth it
