Carmody's West

No longer in Business !

Pizza is my favorite food and it doesn't get any better  than this.  Wood fired using only fresh ingredients.  The wings here, that are also cooked in the oven instead of being fried, are marinated in a mixture of EVOO, lemon juice, and spices finished off and topped with caramelized onions and a side of ficosha bread.  Fall of the bone tender!  Perfect place to bring the family or spouse. I only wish I lived closer so I could enjoy them more often.  Closed Monday & Tuesday.

We came here on the way back to Albany after a visit to Vermont (thanks Yelp for the info) after reading the earlier review about this being a BBQ place. It re-opened as a wood-fired pizza place in Fall of '09, so no BBQ here any more!  

Everything on the menu is cooked in the wood-fired oven, including their chicken wings, which were flavored italian-style and swimming in a lemony butter sauce with cooked onions piled on top.  It sounds weird, but the wings were falling off the bone and were very, very yummy.  We also had a meat lovers pizza which was also very good.  They had an excellent selection of bottled  and tap beverages.  The venue was good-sized, clean, and warm on this chilly evening.  The service was excellent.  

If it wasn't so far out of our normal way, we'd come back often. The food was so good, we'll probably make a special trip to come back here anyway.
