He should have a pop-up cruiser table and bar stool (provided his cameraman wants to lug a cruiser and bar stool around : ) near the entrance of every restaurant he visits (and the cruiser should have a fitted red and white checkered tablecloth). This would give him time to shoot the shit (we all want to hear it) while a thicker than normal pie has time to cool down and temper. And when ordering, he should let the line cook know that he likes a crispy crust. Just saying.

@@Whit1800 Purple Pub has shut down now unfortunately. The kids didn't want to continue the family business. My parents grew up going there and I would often stop there for a pint after stuffing my face with Gus's Hotdogs.

Hands down best pizza in upper HV. The owner and his kids are an absolute pleasure. The owner came out and spoke to us for 30 minutes, all good souls. Hour from us but worth the ride. The hangover cake had just come out, of course. We had to try, amazing!!! If u live within an hour or so, go.

Heavy Troylet vibes coming from the pooled water on the tables and chairs and the stringed lights. Gotta love it though.

I grew up in Troy, and my mother being Italian had of course her own gravy recipe. She'd get her sausage from DeFazio's, her meatloaf mix (for meatballs) from the Troy Pork Store, and her tomato's from any one of the Italian import stores. I still have her recipe, and while I'm not in Troy anymore, this video makes me want to take the trip over. Great Review - was hoping you sometime make it to Kay's Pizzeria - and although an out of the way trip, it's another institution of the area worth the ride - about 25 minutes south of DeFazio's and great end landing location as it's right on a lake. Maybe next Saratoga trip you can add that one to your itinerary.

yea Kay's is def famous pizza spot, nice location too. I miss Troy pork store, the owner/butcher used to hook it up when we rolled in on our skateboards. first time i tried liverworst and i liked it. Famous lunch would get the hots dogs from there, get the buns from Bella Napoli and make the zippy sauce and serve up at famous lunch. All the businesses in town helped each other.

I remember going to this place when I was a kid I live in Canada now my pops used to take me there after baseball I always wanted to go back . Now that the borders are reopening from covid I’m definitely going to go there and pay a visit with my kid before we go to fox borough to watch a patriots game . Thank for reviewing this place brings back so many good memories.
