The 10 best pizza places in Saratoga Springs

Pizza in Saratoga Springs is a square-cut argument. Marino’s has sold the same 16-inch square-cut pie since 1981, West Ave and Caputo’s build their menus around Sicilian pans, and out on Fish Creek a wood-fired oven has burned nothing but wood since 2008. Add a Caroline Street counter open until 2:30 a.m. and a Clifton Park pizza truck that grew into a restaurant, and the choices cover most nights and most budgets.

This list is for locals settling the weeknight order and visitors who want something other than the hotel restaurant. Seven of the ten are inside the city; the others are in Wilton, Malta and Clifton Park, and each entry says where.

How we chose

We looked for independent pizzerias with a consistent local reputation, longevity and local press coverage, confirmed each one is open as of late September 2026 from its own website or ordering page, and pulled prices and hours from those same pages. National and regional chains were left off, and so was any shop we could not verify from a first-party source. Prices are listed as posted and change without notice.

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.

Marino’s Pizza

Marino’s has sold the same square-cut 16-inch pie since the summer of 1981, first from a storefront on Beekman Street and, since 2004, from the counter-service shop on West Circular Street. A whole cheese pizza runs $24 and a half is $14, with sausage, meatballs and bacon among the dozen toppings. Bring cash: the shop takes no cards, does not deliver and has an ATM. Parking is in the lot behind the building. The Marino’s Pizza listing has the address and website.

Hours: Tue–Thu 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Fri–Sat 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; closed Sun–Mon.

Why they made the list

• The founding family still owns and runs the shop, which opened in 1981 and moved to West Circular Street in 2004.
