Crispy Basil

There is no shortage of pizza in the Albany area, each with its own personality. Crispy Basil has a distinct edge that pairs well with its artisan pizza selections. Showed up late on a Sunday night before an early morning flight and we were ecstatic to indulge these perfect pies. Excellent balance of cheese and sauce - perfectly baked (just a little on the crispy side) and the toppings were generous. Some of the reviews appear “hit or miss” but we definitely hit a home run with these baked to order beauties!

Ordered ahead two gluten free pizzas. They were ready already. The pizzas were so good, greasy but in that way that makes them taste so good. So glad I picked this place for our brief trip to the Albany area.

The crust is perfection—charred without tasting burnt. The sauce, not overly acidic or sweet—a wonderful balance. Although half the pizza had extra fresh mozzarella cheese, it was not oily or soggy in the slightest. The hand feel of the pizza is amazing, zero flop with the slight residue of “pizza dust”. Worth it, order for pick-up or delivery!
This pizza is the best I've had in Latham!!

The name says it all. Crispy crust and delicious pizza. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Coming from Jersey was amazed how good it was.

Great service and mesmerizing tastes. You should give it a try.

The best pizza in Latham. No contest. Fantastic toppings, great cheese, excellent crust. Super good wings, too.

I love this pizza 🍕 place in my neighborhood and the place look so beautiful with all comic decorations and my kids love to visit here and the guy is so nice.🌹❤🌹

We got an eggplant parm pizza and an order of garlic knots, it was yummy! My only complaint is some of the eggplant was cut very thick, but that could just be a preference of mine. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice too. A lot of comic books and Star Wars memorabilia!

Update: 6 years later. Still solid overall but where once upon a time you always knew what you were going to get (the “safe” pizza place of the area), now the quality is pretty all over the place. Doesn’t help they they forgot all the sauce on my pepperoni pizza order—and don’t even think for a second I ordered a white pizza. The online process actually does have you jump through a hoop to make sure you’re ordering a standard pizza with sauce and cheese and pepperoni, so that’s weird. Then they fudge it up anyway lol.

Original Review: Pretty darn solid pizza. Place is cute but nothing special. Service is good. Great groupon deal going. Overall very satisfied, highly recommend.

I HATE PIZZA (red sauce)… but this right here is THE BEST PIZZA EVER IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AND INEXPENSIVE WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I ordered Large half pepperoni/cheese for the kids and small (6 slices) bruschetta pizza and 10 piece medium wings well done. $50

Wings were not oily and the sauce was perfect… finger licking good! 🤣

First let me say when ordering wings get a 20 piece or more bc they’re amazing everyone was upset we didn’t have more. Kids loved the pizza! I didn’t even make it to the table and my bruschetta pizza was gone … soooo soooo yummmyyyy!!!!!! 🤤🤤🤤

Thinking about ordering again tomorrow for dinner! 😜

PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ORDER PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Great taste, many options, i loved the bbq chicken. Also prices are reasonable👍

hey Guys, believe me that please has a best service.
Welcome Star Wars lovers ✨

Got a gluten free and a regular with garlic and mushrooms. WOW. One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten! The crust is perfect and the toppings were fresh and delicious. They are a little more expensive than other places but it is so worth it

Love this place. I'm literally getting fatter each day. Nice service, food always on point, garlic parmesan crust....trust me me.

I went there to pick up food for a Grubhub delivery. The Star Wars characters are ready for Christmas😊

I got takeout from here the other day, so I had a short-lived, but good experience. The panini was delicious and of generous size for the price, and came with a bag of chips, which I appreciated as I was eating it for lunch and it's always nice to have a little extra side to make it a fuller meal. The fries were particularly good. Very crunchy and hot, and once again, a generous portion for the price.

Went with a big group. Vegan pizza was top notch. Gluten free pizza was one of the best crusts our gf girl has had. The margarita pizza was delicious. The bacon and pepperoni was awesome. The staff was really friendly and got our order right which, with all the special diet in our party, is remarkable. Worth a trip.

Good food great prices. And if your looking to eat in, they have a whole comic book theme inside the resturaunt. Its pretty creative.

Very good pizza, been going here for years.garlic knots and wings are also very good.

Fresh tossed comic books and memes served with a side of marinara. A local favorite.

Availability of vegan cheese ravioli is spotty, but if they have it when you go, be sure to try it!
