Our Original Pizzeria

Let me start this off with that I never write reviews for anything unless by some miracle I'm swept off my feet and then some..

So, when I moved upstate New York from Manhattan, I thought I would never find anything that measured up to my go-to New York City slices. I tried other places in the Schenectady area to no avail. I saw the option to order from Originals and though Ah what the heck. Prices were dirt cheap to say the least from what I am used to paying. Slices in the city are usually 4 bucks for a cheese slice and when I got here it's 2 bucks and change. HECK YES!

When I went to pick up my food, I was greeted by the Owner (who is Italian FROM ITALY and moved up here from Brooklyn) and another young woman who worked at the pizzeria with smiles. Such a warm welcome for someone who is new to the area! It was a small shop but the pizzas in the display looked so tantalizing that I bought an additional few slices to try (I ended up trying a garlic barbecue chicken slice, a vegetable packed slice and an amazing buffalo chicken slice).

The pizza dough is light and fluffy like biting into a fluffy cloud of amazingness. The pizza itself was cooked to perfection and the sauce was just perfect, none of that super sweet fake artificial garbage that other pizzerias slop onto their pies. I believe I have found my pizza nirvana. I am so excited I stumbled upon this gem. You cannot beat a LEGIT ITALIAN RUN pizzeria in this neck of the woods. I'm so surprised this place isn't packed on a daily basis. Get with the program people!!

If you're looking for garbage pizza like Pizza Hut or Dominos, then take your business elsewhere because Our Original Pizzeria is a WHOLE TEN steps ahead of the lot. This place would THRIVE in Manhattan. I cannot wait to order again from this shop. Don't let the ridiculous negative reviews sway you to not order. The place may be small but it packs a delightful, tasty punch.

Thank you Our Original Pizzeria for making my move up here bearable!

Love this place! The stuffed shells are still my favorite and I received a delicious piece of chocolate cream pie from a very friendly delivery person. Thank you! Folks - I can't stress enough that we aren't dealing with big food chains around here. Place your order a couple of hours ahead and give your local small businesses a break. I think Grubhub automatically adds an hour at the time of your order. These folks care and want to do things right. I have ordered many times from them and truly enjoy their food, their kindness and their efforts. My personal favorites are their stuffed shells, lasagna, fried fish, chicken tenders and their pizza. Yum! You guys rock!

Generous portions! Great calzones, terrific eggplant Parmesan, salad with real non-iceberg lettuces/cherry tomatoes thoughtfully halved/English cucumber slices/pieces of Visalia onion.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the delivery was fast and friendly! Will definitely make this one of my regular places to order from!

Awesome Place awesome awesome delivery lady, they made up for the missing stuff last night :-) this restaurant rocks I highly recommend it!
