I'd lived in NYC for 6 years as a student, so I know my pizza. Ever since I moved to Albany, I've been searching for some to compare with Original Ray's, and I finally found it - Rusty's new location on Albany Shaker by Osborne. The pizza is extra cheesy, with a slightly sweet savory sauce, and the crust is light and crispy and delicious. I've never moved past pepperoni because it's just so good! Their wings are simply to die for, the garlic parmesan are incredible, the honey barbeque are slathered with tangy and sweet sauce and are totally addictive. I've tried all the pseudo-New York-style pizzas around, and this is absolutely the best take-out pizza in the Capital District.
Pros: Delicious, Inexpensive, Fast prep
Cons: Not for eat-in, Closed Mondays
