Variety Pizza Deli Bakery - Albany

The pizza here is fantastic! However, the place could really benefit from a renovation and a thorough cleaning. The owner is a genuinely kind person who truly appreciates everyone who comes in. He makes the best pizzas, along with delicious options from the rest of the menu. You can tell he works extremely hard.

I really enjoy Variety Pizza; it’s my go-to pizza spot in the area. For me, it all comes down to the sauce. I've been a regular at Variety for years, and their pizza is always reliable. They use a great sauce and apply just the right amount so you can savor it. I've also found the owner to be very friendly, and he remembers me every time I stop by.

My co-workers and I order from Variety about twice a week. Decent quality food, although a lot of the meals are made from frozen products. The only complaint I have is that the delivery service forgets something or brings the wrong item almost every time.

I ordered a Gyro, and it was absolutely delicious, while the fries were equally tasty. To meet the $10 minimum for my order, I added a small antipasto salad and was pleasantly surprised by its generous portion size. It was definitely great value for the money. I called to confirm that my apartment information was correct since I was unsure I had entered it properly. Even though they were likely busy, the staff took the time to check my order, read the address back to me, and were very friendly throughout. The delivery driver was also nice and apologized for the delay; I had been worried that the food would arrive cold, but that was not the case at all. I will definitely be ordering again!
