Pretty good I enjoyed the jalapeño poppers. Pizza was okay, it tasted better the next day. I think the building needs a bunch of repairs. Roof is bad, lights always flickering the dinning area the floor dips down, eventually that's going to collapse. Parking is very tough not a lot of handicapped parking. The bartender was nice though.

Food was just okay. There were 6 of us and we all got something different, including pizza and wings, which they are "famous" for. Waited about an hour and a half before seated. After reading reviews we learned it's been sold to new owners. Maybe they should change the name since, according to everyone else, the food isn't the same. Nice view of the water, though.

Me and my family love this place. The pizza is great and it’s not expensive. All of the staff is kind and outgoing. You have to catch them while they’re open because they close down during winter months.

Our family loves Kay’s pizza! Their margarita pizza is excellent. We love their Thai Chili Chicken pizza. Sitting outside by the lake is beautiful. The kids love to go there after a day of kayaking on lake. Parking is kind of crazy. So be prepared to walk!

Hey, Kay's is awesome! We come here every season for their pizza. 🍕 If I could be a professional pizza critic and get paid for it, that would be my dream job! 🍕😋 Kay's has been around for ages! I've been coming here every season since 2012, but there are some customers who are like family, they've been coming here since forever, like my mother-in-law and my wife, who used to live here on Burden Lake. It's called Famous for a reason! You'll see cars lined up all the way down the road, over the dike, and up both sides of the hill just to get a seat at Famous Kay's Pizza. 🚗🍕 They've done some renovations outside along the lake. The Burden Lake Boardwalk is really cute! You should definitely check it out! 📸 #FamousKaysPizza #BurdenLakeBoardwalk #PizzaLover #Foodie

Pizza is our favorite, the Kay's Special. The restaurant has the red checkered table clothes and the floor is wood and wave and the table wobble and it all works! It just has character and a great summer place to go. Or now you can sit outside next to the lake, one of the best things they did thanks to covid.! Keep it up Kay's!

Sorry I just don't understand the allure of this place. I've tried it several times thinking maybe I caught them on a bad night but I guess it's just me. If you think this is the best pizza in NY, clearly you haven't been south of the Tappan Zee bridge. So just and edit, in the last few years the pizza has improved 100%, my husband and granddaughter love the steamers, I really enjoyed the coconut shrimp. If you love Anti pasta don't order it here. The staff is super friendly and so attentive. Beautiful lake view. Eat outside it's cooler and not so crowded. All and all, I hate to admit it but it's become one of my favorite summer places.

Many locals rate this pizza parlor as offering one of the best pizzas in the area. I agree the pizza is good is it the best, that is in an individual preference. Limited parking and obscure area makes this a destination restaurant. A seasonal lakeside camp atmosphere with tight quarters, crowded tables, and noisy environment might make this less than a desirable experience for some.

I am amazed! Over 1300 reviews and a rating of 4.7? People in Averill Park must have never had a good pizza. This garbage was one step above Cumberland Farms and Stewarts pizza. Not quite as good as Chuck E Cheese despite looking like I just left a kids party with a ball pit. I am Italian and grew up in Rotterdam where you can throw a dead cat and hit a genuine good pizza place. I cannot describe how bad this 'pizza' place and I use the term pizza loosely, actually is. Burnt to a crisp and still managed to be soggy. The cheese was decent, the sauce was not good and the crust was totally tasteless, as was the pepperoni. I have better frozen pizza. I seriously have. On a brighter note, the take out service was very good and the scenary was nice. I simply cannot understand how it earned a 4.7 rating. Did 1300 people love the view that much? This 'pizza' easily ranks in the top three worst pizza I have ever had. If it was possible to give negative stars, I would. You have been warned.

Drove 45 mins to try their famous pizza. Started with a large Antipasto which was really a tossed salad with ham and salami, nothing about it made it an Antipasto. Very bland dressing as well. Ordered a large pizza with three toppings, pizza had good flavor but was cut into bite size pieces. If I want famous pizza I will stay in Schenectady.

To the people that live there or used to, I can see how its nostalgic, and I appreciate the community and the service. I just find it intersting that you can only get a pie or a seat in less than favorable weather. Otherwise,, there's a "problem" with the phone service or the Internet. To be honest, it's a ratty lake lake filled with reed and algae. If some were to invest (real).money you might have something. The food, as a whole, is better at hannaford, and the pizza is better across the street .

UPDATE: After the brief blip in their usual high quality that inspired my review below, Kay's is back to to quality foods and service. The review below is obsolete. Uh oh. I've been going to Kay's for many years. While this is definitely a capital district style pizza, not remotely similar to NY style pizza, I am nevertheless a big fan. I have previously gladly given Kay's 5 stars.Tonight was our first visit to Kay's this season. And it was a big disappointment. The pizza was just not very good. I hope it was just the result of getting new cooks up to speed with the recipe and the process.

Who doesn’t love Kay’s?! I’ve been multiple times before but this was my first time sitting outside. The tables inside also felt much less cramped with this outdoor space added, after Covid. Despite parking making it look like it’d be a long wait, we were seated within 10 minutes. We got the onion petals, calamari and Hawaiian pizza. My family loved it all! Surprisingly my 3 year old loved the calamari most! Food came out jock and was tasty and reasonably priced! Can’t wait till next year so we can go back and try something new!

We have eaten here a couple of times over the last year, and my opinion is that this place likely lives off of nostalgia. The food was ok, but certainly nowhere near the best pizza I’ve ever had. They are open seasonally for folks looking to eat here who aren’t familiar. The good: This place has a great location and a very nice view of the lake. It feels like an old neighborhood restaurant and is pretty lively. They have tables inside and out so you can enjoy the restaurant from your preferred location. The service we had both times was good. It is a bit loud at times so isn’t a place you will be able to have a deep conversation, but good for families with kids or for a drink with friends at the end of the week. I enjoyed the ambiance overall, and would probably come here for a drink and maybe an appetizer once in a while for the view and the atmosphere mostly. The not so good: After seeing all of the great reviews, we ordered the pizza. It was not very good in my opinion. It was oily and the sauce was way too tangy. It was like a homemade version of a Dominos pizza, which some people may really like, but is not what I’m looking for when I order a pizza. It was also a bit pricey for what you get imho. Pretty sloppy and cooked a bit over or under (based on the few pies we tried). The meatballs were hard, yet somehow the other toppings didn’t feel like they were cooked well enough and threw all textures off a bit. Overall we were disappointed given all of the 5 star reviews as our expectations were pretty high. I can understand why people like this place, but there are far better options for food in the area.

I used to love Kay's Pizza when I was little. The staff were polite and everything was cooked perfectly. There way about a 2-5 minute wait to get on the phone with someone because they are busy. Now-after Covid and a new owner the place is a total train wreck. It takes 30 minutes or longer to get on the phone with somebody. And once you do get on the staff are brain dead. They act like they are severely hard of hearing. Today, my grandmother called and once she got to placing the order the woman whom she was on the phone with started loudly saying "What?! What?! What?!" then she hung up. The staff are just plain rude, for example if they can't hear you on call or in restaurant they will rudely say "Can you please speak up." Plus the food is so expensive for the presentation they give you. Last time we ordered we got two flavorless burnt pizzas for $67!!! The people at the counter or on the phone will give you different prices each time if you order the same thing as you did last time. Kay's used to be my favorite pizza restaurant. Now it's at the bottom of my list.
