“ Awesome tasty food. Good drinks great Pizza! So it's not updated. So what! It's really good food and if you want crispy you get crispy! If you don't want greasy suck it! Go to Subway. ”
“ Jonathan's is the best!! Everything they make is delicious! Staff is always pleasant and helpful. I will always be assured of a tasty meal when I order from them. Thank you Jonathan's for keeping the customer #1. ”
“ I am sorry but Jonathan's is still my favorite place for a slice in Albany! I haven't been home in a long time but when I do, I am going to Jonathan's. After reading some of the other reviews, the greasy pizza is one of the appetizing features of the pizza. I was never in the store long enough to notice the decor but it didn't seem to smell or be very dirty. Is it a dive....probably because it has been there for well over 30 years as a small pizza shop and not a chain restaurant. ”
“ Love love love the pizza! Cheese slices are my favorite. Just the right amount of cheese, sauce and the dough is perfect. Chicken and eggplant parm also top my list. The portions are huge! Also love the subs, especially the Italian Mix. They also have the best french fries. Great place, friendly service! ”
“ I've only eaten here once but it was great. I can only vouch for the personal pie and pasta w/broccoli, garlic and oil. Awesome food. Felt like I was at home. I'm college student, so the food was four steps up from the garbage they serve at UAlbany. ”
“ Looked like a neighborhood pizza joint outside, and that is what it was inside. Staff was helpful and brought out food out to us, which we were not expecting! I had the eggplant parmigiana and baked ziti-- it was awesome! the sauce was rich and spicy-- the pasta was al dente and not mushy. My workmate had an eggplant parm sub-- we were both full and content! ”
“ Best pizza in Albany, no doubt. Some of the best lasagna that I have ever had as well so, don't be afraid to give that a try. And you can wash it all down with a cold adult beverage if you'd like. ”
“ This place is great. I've been going here since 1996. My family and ialways stop in when we drive through the area. Jonathan and his mom are always there and always remember us. The food is fantastic. It still isthe best pizza I've ever had. Would consider driving up to Albany just for the chicken parm. ”
