Indeed I was talking about Nunzio's in Saratoga. So it is a fair question as to how they can have the best white pizza in Albany. If you remember all the way back in August I wrote a post Small Market Envy in which I talked about the Nielsen DMAs. I have a long background in advertising, and it creates a worldview that is hard to shake. When I think about Albany, Nielsen shapes the geography more than petty things like arbitrary gerrymandered political boundaries. Here is a free map of the Albany DMA that I found on the interwebs. Now all we need to do is juice the Nielsen stats to get our DMA up into the top 50 and watch those national advertising dollars come rolling in. Sorry, for the little tangent. You have no idea, the power that is the dark side.

there was a write up in Metroland about Pasquale’s and they give it 2 thumbs up. They have a lasagne pizza that sounds intriguing.

Marino’s got the shaft! #1 all the way!!!

Albany Jane, I’ve never had the pizza at Ali Baba but I’ve had most of their other items. I was surprised re your comment re price, since AB is so cheap. Also, are you certain that they have a “tikka masala” pizza? Again, I’m just surprised, since that is Indian, and they are Turkish?! Daniel B, you HAVE been talking about Nunzio’s in Saratoga, right? If so, how could they be the best white pizza in Albany (couldn’t find an Albany Nunzio’s in phone book)? Confused.

I’ve always wanted to try the pizzas at Ali Baba (chicken tika masala, etc), but their prices have always scared me off.

Pizza King entered a chicken marsala pizza in last year’s final.

I would like to try a chicken tikka masala pizza.
