Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
Comments
To be clear, Jerry's review of Pizza King was historical and based on a visit from when the Pizza King himself was still behind the counter.

To be further clear, Pizza King's partner/brother (who has been in business with him for years) is still running the business.

Oh, dear...I wouldn't be surprised if the man whom Rob overheard having a Bluetooth conversation about Price Chopper Advantage Card gas savings isn't my partner!
