Pizzeria Mari

What can I say… this is genuinely one of the best pizza places I’ve ever been to in my life, and it’s right here in Troy, New York. It hits with those classic New York City and New Haven flavors, but there’s also something different and special going on that sets it apart. I don’t have a single complaint about any of the pizzas I’ve had. Honestly, this is the best pizza you’re going to find within hours of this place. If you love pizza, you owe it to yourself to try it. They’re only open two days a week right now, but once word really gets out, I can easily see that changing.

Mishel and Alex are the nicest people in the world but they also make incredible pizza and are so incredibly accommodating! My husband and I stopped in on their first Friday night and they were doing online orders ahead for full pies and we didn’t know but they were so kind and welcoming and squeezed us in. We got a plain and their seasonal which was a potato bacon scallion and both were LITERALLY the best pizza either of us have ever had and we’ve eaten a lot of good pizza but this pizza doesn’t even come close. Selfishly I didn’t want to leave a review because I want to keep this place to myself but I also love supporting a small local business and I hope they’re around forever.

Best take out pizza we’ve had in the area! Delicious and plentiful toppings. Can’t wait to get back and try other pizzas!

Have stopped by 2x so far and definitely will return. For being newer in the area I was genuinely shocked by the quality of the pizza. Has that crisp I wanted while also having a great chew. Would recommend getting there around opening or ordering a full pie if you want to try the cheese or tomato, they sell out pretty fast. The staff are super friendly and the place overall has a great vibe to it.

Behold! The finest pizza in the Capital District! This is next level pizza - WAY better than Romo in Glenmont or Di Fazio’s in Troy (only the much lamented Pizzeria Michelina in Albany could come close). As with any fine pizza, the secret is in the dough, and the high hydration sourdough crust is absolutely divine. I like the fact that it’s a work in progress and subtly changes from week to week - but every week produces consistently delicious and creative pies with often unexpected flavor combinations and ingredients. Many toppings are sourced locally and are prepared in-house (their fennel sausage is so good, I’d buy it from them in bulk if I could). Seasonal availability drives what’s on the pizzas on any given week. The folks who own the place are very pleasant to chat with, and
