It's a more than 60-year-old Troy staple now run by its third generation.
Once considered the hidden gem of Troy, DeFazio's Pizzeria is now widely considered to be some of the best pizza in the Capital Region. From their wood-fired pizza to pasta, most of their menu items are made from scratch.
Their import store next to the pizzeria is the last of the more than 250 mom-and-pop Italian stores that once lined the streets of Troy in the 1950s. DeFazio's isn't just pizza anymore; they also expanded to offer a family-style catering option as well. Owner Rocco says the family-style catering is in the spirit of his parents.
DeFazio's Pizzeria is located at 266 4th Street in Troy. They're open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. Call (518) 271-1111.
