Golden Grain Gourmet Pizza: Experience Albany's Best Artisan Pies

Very good pizza for the dietary restricted. Take out service was fine as pizza was cooked timely. When my gluten free friends visit again, we'll be back.

Fire pizza and wings! Great service, good price! Can't ask for anything else. Found a this on layover. Highly recommend it if you're in Albany, NY.

I ordered a calzone to go and it was the biggest and most delicious calzone ever. Highly recommend.

Ordered a 24 cut cheese and it had this wonderful mix of regular and fresh mozzarella cheese. It was a big Sicilian and everyone adults and kids enjoyed it. My son said it was the best pizza he had ever had!

The pizzeria has moved to a different (nicer) location, so while my old review is still correct for the pizza the better location bumps my rating up a little. I probably wouldn't have come back except they sent out 99-cent slice coupons and that hooked me in. I was so impressed I had to bring the family back the next day. This is in the location of an old coffee shop, though it has been completely revamped. It has tables and booths, a bar area by the window you can sit (and watch Wolf Road if you so desire), an outdoor patio area (again, overlooking Wolf Road), and a fake fireplace that was showing digital flames during a 90-degree hot spell outside. They can accomodiate any type of customer's seating preference. The menu boards are digital and flash lots of different options. They had 18 different pizzas on offer when I came both times, and actually there is a fourth upper row which is hard to see that has more. They told me they "always have" that many pizzas... any time of day. However, I would assume that would lead to a degradation of freshness. If you pick wrong, you might get an overly dried out or overly greasy slice. But it IS pizza, you know. They over-reheated my wife's slice and immediately offered to redo it, but let me keep the really cooked one. I thought it was great, and my wife liked her re-do better. I guess you can't please everybody. My slices were good, but I must stress their dough appears to be preformed (this was noted in my previous review too). It is uniformly round, with prick marks to prevent bubbles or expansion, and it is crispy once reheated. Actually, it is CRUNCHY! There is no getting around it. If you want soft, foldable slices with chewy crusts you needn't bother coming here. It isn't my favorite style of pizza, but for a change of pace it is fine. There is no bad pizza, just over-priced pizza... and their prices here seemed reasonable. Their salad bar, for $8.99, was very unimpressive but I didn't come here for health food. It is easy to get in, buy a slice, and get out... and I will be back.

For being my first visit to New York State, this was the perfect introduction to NY style pizza! It. Was. Delicious. This place was packed on a Friday night. The staff are nice and the pizza is ready quickly. I ordered a custom pizza and picked a few slices from the pizzas behind the counter. I don't know how to exactly describe what makes this pizza unique. All I can say is my entire family loved it and I wish there was a Golden Grain in Texas.

Excellence! Great Slice! Food/Drink: First time here, I had a couple slices and soda special. Let me tell you it was great!!! Decent size slices, plenty of toppings, plenty of combos, plenty of choices, and the crunch ... magnificent! Flavor was good, texture was good. Prices: $2.50 plain, $3.25 w a topping, $3.50 specialty slice. Parking: Smaller, private lot. Bathrooms: Very clean, and smelled good! Dinning Hall: plenty of space inside, outside seating. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, Very quiet, tranquil, and chill. But plenty of people in and out. Staff/Attendants: Gentlemen were great, awesome people. Good personalities, very attentive and helpful. Food out quick and correctly. Pay before you sit, glass case chose your slices type a place. Really impressed! 10/10
