The 10 best pizza places in Troy, NY

Pizza in Troy runs from wood-fired pies on Fourth Street to 24-cut sheet pizzas for a party and late-night orders near the RPI campus until 3:30 a.m. Several Troy menus also sell the COB, a cheese-on-bottom pie with the mozzarella under the sauce. This list is for Saratoga County readers in Troy for the farmers market, a show at the Music Hall or an RPI game, and for Troy locals looking for a new go-to pie.

All ten picks are inside the City of Troy, from downtown and South Troy to the RPI area and Lansingburgh. A few places with Troy mailing addresses on Hoosick Road and Route 2 sit in the Town of Brunswick and were left off. The Troy Waterfront Farmers Market moves inside the Troy Atrium on Saturdays through April. For a sit-down dinner, see our Troy restaurants list.

How we chose

We looked for independent pizzerias and restaurants known for pizza, with a steady local reputation and staying power, and we mixed styles, neighborhoods and price points. Each one was confirmed open in November 2026 from the pizzeria’s own website or ordering page and, for nine of the ten, a 2026 state health inspection, and every address was checked against state boundary maps to confirm it sits inside the city. Prices and hours come from the pizzerias’ own menus and pages. Chains were left off. The list is unranked and in alphabetical order, and no business 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.
