Amazing place to eat! Love the pizza and atmosphere of the restaurant. My favourite pizza here was the Godfather. It has everything on it. Perfectly crisp and the crust is amazing. The waiter was attentive. Good stuff!

Great atmosphere for late night fun. Servers were responsive and helpful when it came to ordering drinks and food. Kitchen was closing soon however, I was still able to order food and it came out hot and fresh. Pizza is served all night drinks were strong but good!

BL is an awesome spot, and I’m incredibly disappointed to just be discovering it. The pizza and wings remind me of back home in Jersey – crisp, fresh, and phenomenal sauce. The beer is cold and the staff is great. Will be frequenting this spot.

After trying countless restaurants in search of delicious Bianco pizza, I finally stumbled upon The Ballston Local and my quest ended! This quaint little eatery has mastered the art of making authentic Italian-style pizzas that rival those found in Naples itself. Their dough is perfectly crispy yet chewy with just enough saltiness, while their tomato sauce tastes freshly made with ripe vine-ripened tomatoes. The mozzarella they use is top quality and so flavorful without overpowering any other ingredients on your pie. Plus, the prices here can’t be beat – you could easily order two large pies and have enough leftovers to feed four if you tried! Highly recommend the Salsiccia e Cipolle (sausage & onion) pie – so good! Can’t wait to return soon!

Our club had a private party at BL last Saturday and everyone loves it. They were very accommodating and created a new menu with more Asian focused dishes for us. The food were so delicious, we all loved the pork belly bao and bacon wrapped shrimp. Our ladies loved their favorite Spa Day cocktails and ordered it all night. Their staffs were very friendly and attentive, and kudos Angel the bartender (we called him BBB, Best Bartender in Ballston), he kept our drinks strong and our glasses filled. Oh, and their pizzas at the end of the night really hit the spot. We’ll definitely come back here again for our next private party.

Came in for appetizers and drinks on a Friday night with a friend. This place was packed so we ended up sitting at the bar. There was a live band playing 80s music which we stayed for another round of drinks for. The mixed drinks were good for the most part. I had a margarita and a raspberry martini. The martini didn’t have a lot of flavor. My friend ordered an amerretto sour which was delicious. We shared the Chesapeake poutine and the baller nachos with pork. There is lots of seating indoor and outdoor, they sell pizza by the slice, and have a full bar. I will definitely be back!

Neighborhood hangout is the perfect description. It’s super casual and affordable compared to nearby spots. There are a bunch of staff buzzing around the provide good service. The menu you is pretty basic and the burger I had was good but it seems pizza is the most popular item.

Fantastic experience here. Highly recommended. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great food and selection of beers / drinks. Great atmosphere because of the Singo (a bingo style game based on songs played). Overall a fun time.
