Red Front

A historic Troy Italian restaurant. We enjoyed
A family birthday dinner with 10 people on a Tuesday evening. The waitress was lovely, sassy and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. She is perfect for her job and joked back and forth with us throughout our time there. We ordered their famous red front cheese on the bottom pizzas, antipasto, chicken piccatta, chicken alfredo,and a regular pizza. Our food was delicious and everything came out great! Highly recommend

I had great meal last night from Red front. I highly recommend the boneless wings and any pizza they have. They are known for their Cobb pizza if that’s not your thing they have other good options as well.

This is a typical family pizza joint. I gave it 5 stars because their famous Cob (cheese on bottom) is the best I’ve ever had and I’m definitely a pizza gal. It’s the sauce and crust that makes it out of this world. Their regular pizza is good but not as good as the Cob. We get it with peppers and onions and it’s a mouth watering flavor. The rest of the food is good, nicely sized portion Italian dishes. Apps are typical fried food but Don’t get the calamari LOL. The antipasto is great, exactly like a traditional Italian salad and it’s huge layered with delicious flavor. The wings are great we always get mild garlic Parmesan and it’s consistent flavor. This restaurant has been a family favorite since I was a kid. Great ambiance for a family gathering, old school but cool and the service is great.

Conversation with anyone NOT from Troy:

"Yes, the cheese is under the sauce. Yes, I know that's weird. Yes, the sauce is sweet... Just try it."

One week later:

"Red Front. The name of the place is Red Front. No I doubt they deliver to you..."

Can't go wrong with Red Front. The place has been around since my Dad was a kid (maybe longer). Pizza is great, the rest of the Italian dishes they serve are excellent. Try the mozzarella with melba sauce.

We ordered six 24 cut pizzas for a memorial service for my mom who had recently passed away. Everyone raved about how delicious the various pies were. Some even remarked that they were "Better than Kay's pizza" - which is high praise from a family with its roots in Burden Lake !
The pizza's were ordered a day ahead, the price was unbelievably fair, and we were able to pick them up promptly at the requested time of 4:45 on a Very busy Friday night. I cannot thank Fran and Matt enough for making our unfortunate get-together a resounding success. Thank you, Red Front and your employees, for your outstanding dedication to your profession !

Food was excellent from rare prime rib to eggplant parm to pasta and meatballs to fried ravoli . All were delicious food was hot. Our server was pleasant, and it was Saturday night at about 6 pm. We did not have reservations but were seated immediately. The bar was hopping, and the dining area was busy. Food is reasonably priced. Atmosphere on the same as testos in Troy or Kay's in Averill Park. It's not a dressy place. Causal dress... jeans and T-shirts are fine. We would go back again to the Red Front.

Are you kidding me I've been going to red front for as long as I was able to drink .... The food is is always good and in a mom and pop Italian style setting Trust me you will not regret it.
EAT AN BE MERRY, MOST OF ALL ENJOY

Made reservations for 6, showed up early, and were seated right away. The server was quick and friendly. The pizzas and salad we ordered came out in a timely manner and tasted great. What else can you ask for.
I'll go back to check out the wings sometime soon.

This is definitely a local destination and has been for a long time. I can tell many of the staff have been around for a long time and that is usually a great indication of consistency.

The Memphis Gold wings are so good. I order them extra crispy and they are sweet and savory. The house made Bleu cheese dip is some of the best. The COB pizza is a winner for us. They have regular pies, but this is such a break from the norm. The wait staff is always pleasant and the food comes to the table quickly.

I just ordered, and it couldn't have been more than 15 minutes later... Delivered
Simply amazing

Picked up 2 COB PIZZA & 1 1/2 COB + 1/2 CHEESE for my daughter's 16 the bd. Only thing she wanted & of course never a disappointment here!!! Only place to get the cheese on bottom, best in the Capital Region 😍If you haven't tried it you need to pick up a pie. Also my first experience fine dining in Troy NY, many years ago... Had the Chefs Special Linguine w/ white clam sauce w/ all of the seafood. Was absolutely delicious 😋

Appetizers and pizzas were delicious. Great service! Great atmosphere! Family place!

Always enjoy the pizza here, and the couple of times we have gotten meals, those have been top notch as well. They're always busy, and it's cool to see a place with their crowd of regulars there. Nice atmosphere, almost like the little restaurants in movies where everyone has a good time.

When no time to bake our own...it is The Red Front! Excellent pizza...speedy deliver. Professional and courtesy reigns. Particularly fond of the veggie pizza! Oh, so much better then all the highly rated New York City establishment.

Old school Troy pizza place.
Love the ambiance, the bar, and the staff who are just great.
Of course, it almost goes without saying, that their pizza is some of the best in the area. When I lived out of town, I craved this pizza as nothing compared to it. HIGHLY recommend!

The best comfort food spot in Troy. Love the Red Front

Hands down the best pizza in the capital district. Pizza. Antipasto. Wings. Blue cheese (OMG! SO GOOD!). The Buffalo shrimp appetizer is amazing, too. And don't sleep on the margaritas. You don't NEED to be out for Mexican to have a good one. Frannie's are some of the best I've ever had.

Great place for lunch or dinner. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We celebrated my wifes birthday there. we had 12 people they had no problem seating us together and the food was great! They can get busy on the weekends you may want to call ahead. Enjoy!🙂
