    I Found a BIG SLICE of Heaven! Trying new places around me in the area since getting my business up and running...Lo and Behold this pizza (Sicilian with everything, hold the anchoives, add black olives) rocked the heavens! Perfectly cooked! The crust was flawless, cooked to perfection, crisp and NOT over cooked. The toppings were plentiful and fresh...if you find yourself around the area stop and grab a little bit of heaven in a pie! If you do happen to stop in or order online make sure you go to the ATM... cash only!

    This place is the best place ever. I’ve not once had a bad experience. The guys that work there are fantastic and the customer service is fantastic. The food is always good and fresh. Pizza is out of this world. I would travel miles for this restaurant. 12/10 I would recommend that everybody and anybody should come here. You will not be disappointed.

    Traveling for work in the Albany, NY area. Asked some locals at the casino where to get some NY pizza, they told me Mariono's off state street. Also suggested the homemade Italian dressing, great experience.

    Some of the best pizza in the Capital District; ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza. It was hot and fresh when I got there to pick it up, and the flavor is fantastic. This is always a must when visiting Schenectady!

    Best pizza in the city. Or in the case of my photos, best pizza in Tampa. Packed and flown down there to some adoring fans. (Note, 2 pies in one pizza box with a box top layered between them limits jumbling around during the trip in the plane's cargo hold. )

    I just loved this. Linguine with loose sausage and mushrooms in tomato sauce. I asked for broccoli too. It was so flavorful!

    One of the best pizzas in the area. I have been enjoying Marinos for a long time. However, since we moved further outside the city we don't order there much. I ordered for pickup and the wait was 45 minutes which was typical for Friday night. However, when I arrived, I was ignored for a full 10 minutes along with 3 other customers waiting to pick up as well. The phone was ringing off the hook, one guy was doing nothing but answering the calls, a waitress was just standing at the counter doing nothing and three guys were making the pies. No one even acknowledged me. Once they finally did ask for my name, it was clear that the pie was done before I arrived so it was sitting for at least 15 minutes so it was only warm. I have never had this experience in the past so not sure if it was just extra busy or its bad manners of the staff. Either way, the pizza was still good but I would have liked it to be hot right out of the oven. Also, there is a big CASH ONLY sign on the counter so keep that in mind.

    I can’t believe I’ve lived in Schenectady for 15 years and never been here. Really delicious food and attentive, friendly service - despite there being a large party having a birthday in the other room. I’ll definitely be back. The Italian dressing is delicious and the pizza was just what the doctor ordered.

    Busy and limited seating, but some of the best authentic pizza around complete with dough tossing.

    This place is open late and open on Mondays when everyone else is closed. Food is always great. Staff is super friendly and very nice. I almost gave them 4 stars due to the fact they are Red Sox fans. I didnt have the heart tho everyone makes mistakes. (LOL ... I'm joking...I'm joking) We love this place and even travel to go there. If your within a half hour of the place it's a must go.

    Great home style Italian place that serves classic fare and OG hand thrown pizza. Their pizza is the best I've had in Schenectady. No delivery. Plan ahead and prepare to wait one hour for pickup. The staff is fantastic and the wait is more than worth it.

    I went there for the first time, not knowing what to expect, and had the lasagna with garlic rolls...it was delicious. I truly enjoyed the meal, the service and the place was cozy...I'll be going again very soon...

  • 5/5 Erica C. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere is what I would expect from an Italian pizza place. Service was great; everyone was very friendly. The food was excellent. Definitely will be back!!!

  • 5/5 Tonya M. 1 year ago on Google
    Never a let down. Food was amazing! Staff was excellent as always. The garlic bread is so good, fresh garlic and the homemade bread, yum! I got the seafood special garlic and white wine, the flavor was fantastic and plenty of left overs. Daughter got the chicken and broccoli fettuccine Alfredo so delicious and super cheesy and so much left over. Got my mother veal patm to go what a huge dinner she can eat eat three tines at least.

    Local pizzeria with additional Italian comfort food. Great pizza with a good crisp crust and top notch ingredients. Atmosphere is very casual, staff is attentive and polite. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Kristy E. 8 months ago on Google
    First time visit today, if in the area I would definitely stop again. Pizza was tasty, employees were very nice considering how busy they were and my son like watching the pizzas get thrown in the air :) Would love to stop and sit in some time and try some pasta!

  • 5/5 Vicki S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza HANDS DOWN!! Next time we are dining in!! Now that I know how good it is, I won’t be able to wait the 2.5 miles in the car ride home!!!! We WILL be back!!

  • 5/5 Eugene Messmore (. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in Schenectady!!! Cash only, but they have an ATM. Had my first in house dining experience here in many, many years. Mr. Marino personally came by to welcome me. This is the kind of personal touch that makes this establishment exceptional. I highly recommend Marino's Pizza, you won't be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Michelle J. 1 year ago on Google
    Was in my hometown and Marinos was the first place I wanted to stop. It's a reliable for me who grew up in Schenectady....not much has changed. I did have my young child with me this time and wished for a kids menu.....for some pasta and sauce we paid 10 bucks and took almost all of it home....can't complain though cause mama gets the leftovers :)

  • 5/5 Lois M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have always been told that Marino's is the best pizza in the area. I have taken my newly transplanted neighbor from Queens to almost every pizza place within a 50 mile radius. None were judged to be as good as Queens pizza. We hit the jackpot with Marino's. She declared it was a Queens pizza and oohed and ahhd all during the meal. Prices were affordable, good parking and handicapped accessible. The atmosphere was that of a cozy hometown pizza parlor and the service was excellent. It is a cash only no delivery place but there is an ATM inside. Loved it!

    Pizza is great 👌and steak sandwiches exceptional 👍service is always great🤌 and the penne ala vodka😵‍💫 AMAZING and can be shared🤍 and it's a clean place if you want to have a beer or a glass of wine with your dinner after work...I wish they were opened earlier than 4 sometimes but either way it's worth the wait👑

  • 5/5 Lois M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have lived here many years and it has always been said that Marino's has the best pizza in the city. Nothing has changed. The pizza is still outstanding! Prices are reasonable.

  • 4/5 Stephen C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love this pizza. The only only draw back for me was that it is cash only. They do have an atm in the store. Entrance is small but there is nice seating available inside. Will always make this a stop when in Schenectady.

  • 5/5 Haris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Found these guys by complete chance...how lucky i was. They have the best pizza in the area period. Their sauce doesnt taste sickeningly sweet like most places and just the right amount of cheese so it's not a greasy mess.

  • 5/5 S C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent! Had Chicken Alfredo and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was also fresh and soft. Service was great. The waitress was pleasant and even labeled our to-go containers. Will be returning!
