I love the pizza at the Fountain. My Son Josh and my grandson Jack went to lunch ,He always orders a large pizza and wings. I always end up with with three or four slices to bring home.#1 in Albany NY for pizza. Excellent staff Also.Parking: They had a large parking lot in the back. It was very big and there was plenty of parking.

The Fountain is a sweet little neighborhood place. Friendly, tasty, and with a nicely balanced menu. Well-behaved pets are very welcome at their outside tables.

Rude and unprofessional waitress i have ever encountered in my life! This place is going down hill at a slow pace. Not the same service and comfort that it was a decade ago.

We usually love this place, but tonight was awful. We ordered delivery on Grubhub, and I got a beyond burger which said on the menu it would come with lettuce and tomato, and it came without either of those. I got a Mac salad on the side and nowhere on the menu did it say there was tuna in it, but I found chunks of tuna in my mac salad. I’ve never had a Mac salad with tuna in it. I don’t eat certain meats and it would have been nice to know there was tuna in the salad before ordering it - I would have gotten something else. My bf ordered the grilled chicken salad and ordered a portion of steak to go on top ($8 extra) and we didn’t receive that either. So on top of getting meat in what was thought to be a vegetarian dish, and then to not receive food we paid for was just disappointing.

Ordered lasagna for delivery, so much cheese on top it was like chewing gum sauce obviously had a Timmys smell and overly spiced with oregano which is not the number one spice and Italian food worst lasagna I ever had would never order again.

I have been going to The Fountain for over 40 years. Many things are very good but I always like the pizza the best. The last time I was there it was near perfect - sausage & pepperoni, crispy crust at edges but light/chewy in middle, and abundant, garlicky sauce. My friend got a chicken sandwich with bacon and toppings and was happy with that. One of the best pizzas I've had in awhile.

Today I had lunch with a dear friend. My sandwich was cold along with my fries. I used to eat there about 10 years ago and the food was good. I was so disappointed, I packed my food up and heated at home. I gave them a 2 because the waitress was nice. Don't think I'll go there again. 48 dollars for cold food.

Had lunch with a friend. Staff was awesome. My toasted corned beef sandwich was perfect .

At 3:15 I placed an order for pick up at 5:30 online. My husband got there right at 5:30 and they couldn’t find the order. They told him it would be 20 minutes because they had to make our order. It was definitely more like 40 minutes. They didn’t even offer us our money back or a discount on our food since the order wasn’t ready, very disappointing and we won’t be returning

Pizza is probably the best in Albany. You try it, and let me know what ya think!
