Located in Albany, NY, PJ's Pizza has established itself as a beloved pizza destination for both locals and visitors. Renowned for its consistently delectable offerings, this quaint pizzeria has captured the hearts of its patrons with its perfect blend of cheese, sauce, and crust. Customers like James Szumiloski attest to its unmatched quality, claiming that nothing elsewhere comes close. A unique highlight of PJ’s is its commitment to focusing on pizza, specializing in classic flavors while also offering chicken toppings and a selection of sides, including popular buffalo wings, which Shawan Lumpkin fondly recalls enjoying since childhood. The XL Pizza, Wing & Soda special caters perfectly to party gatherings, featuring a generous spread of melted cheese atop a golden-brown crust, making it both a crowd-pleaser and value for money at $30. While David Burke notes some drawbacks regarding the restaurant's atmosphere due to its neighborhood, the consistent quality and genuine service shine through, as Chef Cody Events emphasizes their professional delivery and dedication to freshness.

For a city that has had a hugely Italian populated in past, pizza is misunderstood. I even live in what was once the Italian Gentleman's Ckub. But pizza is not an Albany forte! PJs does the best job. Plus, great profession service and delivery. They do nothing but pizza and a few apps. Focused on pizza..and getting it to you hot fresh! Very consistent, too. Not best in world. But certainly surpasses all in Albany! Go for it!

PJ'S is one of the oldest pizzerias in Albany. The sauce is out of this world. They also serve hot Italian subs. My family visits once a week!

PJ'S has been here for YEARS and still has some of the best pizza I've had. Pizza sauce is great, dough is cooked to crunchy perfection and their wings are large and flavorful! If you haven't had pizza from PJ'S, you are definitely missing out!
