Pope's Italian Restaurant: The Best NY Style Pizza in Saratoga Springs

My experience with this pizzeria has been as warm and kind (kindness is delicious, right? It makes us all smile!) as timeless, classic pizza is - the people here are kind and compassionate, and I just know you can taste it in their food. Everybody knows the greatest pizzas are made with love, and that it's worth the price. Don't fall for the bad service reviews - people are allowed to have difficult days, and it isn't a reflection of you personally unless you're a deliberately rude, entitled, arrogant or demanding individual who lacks self-awareness and accountability - it's a reflection of their own struggle. You should try this pizza, because it's made by good, honest, hardworking people who care about themselves and their loved ones - and by extension through art and hard work of their craft - you. The overall reviews don't lie. Try this place!!

Best pep and cheese I've had! Saw this place on the Dave Portnoy app, and it did not disappoint!

An old school family owned and operated pizza place. Very good pizza, nice and crispy. Not the best selection for house pies but what they’ve got is good! Cash only place, so make sure you’ve got a few bucks in your pocket before you go in. Only bad thing to say is they don’t have A/C, and on a hot 90 degree day in Saratoga you want to enjoy your hot slice in a cool place.

The best pizza in Saratoga. I've been enjoying their pizza since they were located on Broadway. The service can be a bit spotty, they don't always answer the phone and constantly understaffed but still worth the visit.

no fuss, simple, good food. the gentleman serving us was really nice. Says no cash but there's an ATM machine inside.

Absolutely hands down the best pizza around! We were looking for a light snack before heading to a concert at SPAC and 3 of us shared a small pie. The pizza here is amazing. If you like more cheese though, definitely order it with extra cheese. I love their sauce too; a little sweet and not as "herby" as some places. Perfect crust too. Highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for some great NY style pizza.

Nice surprise to see when they sell you “small pizzas” it comes in extra large boxes! The food was excellent.

My favorite pizzeria. As I child I came in with my grandma every Friday. I remember coloring on the backs of the big piece of paper with the businesses on it. I remember learning the names of the people there and learning how to cut my food on my own. Every week pope’s pizza was my dinner Friday night, and my breakfast Saturday morning. I remember the crispy crunch and the browned cheese on top, perfectly cooked. I always took any leftover crusts my grandma didn’t want. After I moved these Friday dinners stoped, but my love for this pizzeria didn’t. Any time I visit I make sure to pick up 2 slices (one for then and one for another meal). Every time I eat a slice I remember all the joys and community I felt there. Even if I didn’t have these memories I would still recommend this place. Their slices or full pizzas are affordable, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service is always excellent. 10/10!
