The 10 best pizza places in Clifton Park

Most of the good pizza in Clifton Park comes out of plaza kitchens along Route 9, Route 146 and Plank Road, plus two shops up in Jonesville. This list is for Clifton Park and Halfmoon families ordering Friday night pizza and for Northway commuters picking up on the way home.

Eight of the ten are in the Town of Clifton Park. Two on Route 9 have Clifton Park mailing addresses but sit in the Town of Halfmoon, and one Jonesville shop uses a Ballston Lake address. Styles run from wood-fired and New York round pies to Sicilian, Grandma and cheese-on-bottom squares. National chains were left off. Saratoga Springs pizzerias are on our Saratoga pizza list.

How we chose

We looked for independent pizzerias with a steady local reputation and staying power, and we checked every address against the U.S. Census geocoder and New York State Health Department records to confirm whether the shop sits in Clifton Park or Halfmoon. Each one had a 2026 state health inspection and a current menu or ordering page, and prices and hours come from those menus. National chains and franchises were left off. The list is unranked and in alphabetical order, and no pizzeria paid to be included.

Hours, prices and dates below come from each business or official source and change without notice. Call ahead if you are making a special trip.
