Zotto's The Pine

Amazing pizza and the wings r perfectly cooked not too crispy not too soft but just right

Walked in and felt like I was home- great staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

We’re real pleased with the service & food. This restaurant opened up with the feel of a home town establishment.

2weeks back sat down @ the pine beautiful atmosphere Great food fast service and they won't break your wallet The zottos got this down pat .

Love this place!!!! I am so happy they opened back up. Owners are great people. The place looks amazing too.

Awesome !

Just good food and service. The Zotto’s provide a great atmosphere

It getting very buzzy, worth the wait. They need to get buzzers like other restaurants so we can wait I. Car

Great job with the renovation food and service were outstanding. Definitely going to be back

Best pizza and wings capital district. Fast service and great environment

Owners are great and friendly. Always a good time with friends here.

Excellent service. Food very good. Solid restaurant.

We love the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad and Chicken Wings!

Great food as always. Staff is very friendly

The food was great, the prices were reasonable.

We ordered a pizza for take out and it was great! Nice to have a family pizza place so close!

Food was excellent as well as the service. Will be back again soon.

The Pine is amazing. Everything that you would expect from the Zotto's. Great service, incredible food and a personal touch that is missing in so many other businesses these days. I highly recommend.

The food is excellent and you get a lot, it's quickly become one of our favorite places to go for dinner. Highly recommended!

Wings and Pizza were excellent.But had to eat with our coats on like the rest of patrons. Would love to return if they fix the heat.

Food was very good! Antipasto for 1- Good amount of goodies on it! Our waitress was attentive without being pushy.

The only downside is we were seated near the door and it was chilly every time someone came or went.

We had a small family event on Monday….Everyone raved about the pizza and greens and beans.The staff was so accommodating …..Thank you Danny …you made it special

A friend mentioned the pizza here was amazing, my husband and I decided to give it a try! Delicious! I’ll be recommending to our neighbors, and friends, thank you!

Lunch was terrific! I had the strawberry salad with chicken. Chicken was very tender too! Service was great

Great place for pizza or Italian food. Friendly staff. One of our weekly restaurants.

Went for lunch on a Monday. Food was good service from Jules was excellent

The food was great. The sole waitress was super busy, between a full dining room and taking phone orders, but she kept her composure and I never felt neglected.

This place has the best food always. The best Chicken Parm! And everyone is so friendly! Try the Vermonster.

Every single thing we ordered was delicious, highly recommend! We tried the chili, pasta fagioli, chicken parm, and a chicken tender salad, and we ate every single bite, will definitely be back!

Food is always great Great place, good looking staff Especially the two bald guys in the back

We spent our Tuesday night at the bar. Frank was our bartender and we received an excellent experience. Food was great, and beer was cold. Will come back.

So happy that the dynamic duo brothers are back! Brunswick needed a great family restaurant and this is it! Delicious food, reasonable prices, excellent service and beautiful renovations. They are all working extremely hard to accommodate all customers! The packed parking lot at all hours and loyal following says it all!!

Danny and Kevin knocked it out of the park. The facelift this building got is great! The food is fantastic! I got the brunswick burger that was cooked a perfect medium. My wife got the chicken parm sandwich and loved it. We got pizza for the kids which we tried, was the best we've been able to find since moving out of Connecticut. Absolutely worth the stop! And we managed to get dinner for 4 for $65 which is not easy these days!

Staff greets you right away, friendly and helpful. Food is always delicious. I've only done take-out and it smells so good in the car, I can't wait to get home and eat! Brunswick Burger is my fave.

Moved back to my hometown and was so happy the Zotto’s reopened a new place. The best pizza, and wings around. Brunswick needed this place!!! All the waitresses were amazing and welcoming too!!

Always loved the knotty pine on 15 th street and glad to see the zotto family at it again four of us went on Friday night no waiting! Although the parking lot was filled. Couldn't been more pleased that the new surroundings are beautiful with enough room between tables to have privacy. The food was delicious and had a great drink menu. Will definitely be back already spreading the news!!!!!!

Pizza is awesome, especially the white tomato basil. Enlivened bar atmosphere compared prior restaurant which you never knew was open. Awesome to have the Pine in the neighborhood. Definitely worth the trip!

I had veal parm upon which I compare all italian restaurants. If they do that well,everything else is usually good. Their veal parm was very good. Generous portions.servers friendly and capable. It is hard to cozy up a restaurant in a strip, they tried with table cloths etc. Still need a little something to deaden the noise.

My husband & I went here for a beautiful chicken parm dinner. Absolutely fantastic. The sauce was amazing. I tipped all those working in the kitchen & our waiting Helen tooo. Fabulous place. Check it out - you won't be disappointed !!!!! :)

Went there a bit apprehensive about if they used the same old recipes. Their pizza used to be awesome before they closed down. To my surprise the pizza was the same as I remembered it. The wait staff was flawless. This time it was pizza. The next time I will check out their dinners.

Everyone is super sweet and welcoming. Food is amazing! We ate at the bar and lots of people came in as it was dinner time. Many take outs and the place was full when we left at 6. Will go again soon.

The food was great, and the service was amazing. We had Allison in the restaurant side. She was Spunky, nice, and very quick. Definitely made the experience a lot better. Will be back sometime soon!

Went to The Pine for lunch with 3 friends I worked with. I had a patty melt with sweet potato fries. Both were delicious.

Picked up a chicken bacon ranch pizza today. Best chicken bacon ranch ever!! Perfectly cooked and was ready right when I got there. Definitely recommend The Pine!

Great visit on 12/20. The Zotto's have done a great job renovating the place. Food was excellent, place was busy and very reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back again. Must stop if in the area.

The COB “cheese on the bottom” is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Subpar picture because I was busy eating it.

A wonderful stop for dinner on our New England road trip visiting from Wisconsin. The food was exceptional—we enjoyed seafood chowder special (the best we’ve ever had), chili, salmon, and a club sandwich. The staff was incredibly friendly, and it was easy to get on and off State Highway 7, making it a perfect, convenient spot for travelers.

Delicious food and affordable prices. Like that this place accommodates large party groups. Friendly staff and clean environment. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Delicious food fast friendly staff. Amazing specials for dinner and dessert. I'm difficult to please with Chicken riggies being from the Utica area but was pleasantly surprised with the dinner special! If only it had cherry peppers not red bell. 😕 Peanut butter cup cheese cake for take home!!

This is a family owned establishment, and everyone actually cares about what they’re doing. You can order anything that they sell and you won’t be disappointed. A friendly inviting atmosphere, very large parking lot and the pizza is to die for! they also have some bourbon selections that are excellent, and plenty of beer and cocktail options. In the times of price is rising this family keeps them very reasonable and you should support them over the corporate nonsense.

Went to a surprise birthday for 24 people. The servers took care of everyone effortlessly. Family style food was excellent. We brought our own cake and they cut it up and served it very quickly.

Had lunch today, our first time here. Chicken noodle soup( homemade) was very good as was the salad(chicken, pecans, cranberries). Our waitress was fantastic, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Very reasonablely prices. Will definitely be going back for lunch.

We went here tonight to celebrate my brother's birthday- his choice. The place is very small but it's comfortable. It was a busy Friday night but not once was the crowd overbearing or loud. It felt like we were all just hanging out...chilling. It was actually really awesome how it felt like that. The bartender welcomed us when he realized we were waiting for a table and the waitresses were all very genuinely friendly. Just felt like a nice little family spot you know? The food was amazing and tasted homemade and not the typical "frozen food microwaved or heated up" you find at restaurants. The pasta fagioli was to die for. So much flavor and not heavy at all. The pizza crust we had was a bit dry but the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I loved our waitress. She was truly a wonderful young lady and I'm sorry I forgot her name. Never did we feel rushed or pressured. What a new hidden gem. Thank you for a relaxing night!

Excellent place for the family. Great variety on the menu. Fast friendly service. Exceptional quality.

We were passing through town and stopped at Zotto’s for lunch. I often order salads and cringe a bit when I’m at a place that doesn’t specialize in them, but the apple chicken salad was great! All the ingredients were fresh, and the chicken was cooked well. My husband ordered the Vermonster sandwich and enjoyed that very much, too. Our server was cheerful and the atmosphere happy. We’d definitely eat there again. 😁😁

Ordered pizza, boneless wings (garlic Parm and hot), garlic knots, and sweet potato fries with tiger sauce. Did a pick up order. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, even though I could tell it was a busy night. The food tasted great, and were good portions. We waited in the bar area, and we will definitely be coming back to enjoy the atmosphere and drinks at the bar.

This review is long over due. The Pine has outdone them selves once again. We ordered the Chicken parmigiana and it was delicious and full of flavor. The bread was fresh and the staff is great. We will definitely be making this one of our regular stops.

So happy they re opened, best pizza to ever come out that building. Wait staff, cook, bartenders are so friendly and helpful. Nice to see the place busy and cooking great food. The dough is perfect and I love a square pizza, just like the old place, if it works you keep making it👍 best of luck and keep doing what your doing.

Sauce was a little sweet . Loved the cocktails

Got the chicken parmesan...very good!

Dining area was very loud, the pizza was good, wing's were excellent

Neighborhood gem. Food is traditional, location is excellent atmosphere is really nice, staff is friendly.

My buddy and I went to get a pizza pie with sausage. It was good..

Food was good. We have been there twice and both times only 1 waitress to work a very busy dining room.

Been here three times.foid has been pretty good.the godfather sandwich is very good.everything else has been pretty good as well.i personally didn't like their pizza.i will be going back there.

They were not busy but we still waited more than 5 minutes for someone to come to our table. The wait for our food was normal, about 20 minutes. The pizza was very good as expected. We asked our waitress for water but it was obvious that she forgot so we had to ask another waiter to bring us water. Although she stood by the phone and looked around, I had to wave at the waitress to pay our bill. I'm surprised our service was a bit disjointed, maybe the staff hasn't found their rhythm in the new building yet. We live close enough that we'll probably just get their excellent pizza to go.

Their Veal Parm and Lasagna are absolutely fabulous. Their pizza is tasty and light(could use a bit more sauce for my taste). The only drawback is that it feels like you're eating at a Jiffy Lube.

We did take out for the first time we realize that they were there and open so I cannot comment on the service we ordered two hamburgers and one was $40 but they were very good other than that will come in more when we go to Leeds for dinner

Did take out pizza and calamari tonight, pizza was delicious, better than last couple times. Sometimes the to go gets mushy. Not today 😀Calamari is good, not fabulous but we enjoyed it, both the pizza and calamari sauce excellent. I commented on a drink to the bartender that I saw him make, looked very tempting, he offered me a free taste on the house, so sweet. I passed since I was driving but the staff is really nice there. Sound is a little loud but overall I definitely recommend this place for both eat in and take out. Love having this place in Brunswick.

I had pizza. It was really good. Nothing spectacular but was tasty. My husband had the chicken Parm and it was outstanding two huge pieces of chicken, a mild marinara sauce and it comes with a side of spaghetti. It was really good.

A bit pricey but worth it! Everything was delicious! The burgers are amazing. Mine was slightly overdone but still yummy. The fries and onion rings were excellent. Also the chicken Parmigiano was not only perfectly cooked but the portion was large. Altogether a very enjoyable meal!

Waiter was not very attentive food was good

Didn't know it was square cut. No option for circular pie. Pizza was dough was undercooked. Boneless wings were soggy?

It was Saturday evening and it was busy. My friend and I decided to eat at the bar instead of waiting 30 minutes for a table. My friend had lasagne which was good, hot and the cheese was bubbly.. I ordered baked rigatoni. It was luke warm and dry and the mozzarella cheese was almost melted. It was obvious that it was overlooked until the last minute. My friend ordered a pineapple and ham pizza to go. I asked her how it was the next day and she said the sauce had way too much oregano. We will try again but not Saturday evening.

Service was slow and fragmented, but waitress was personable. Parking lot needs a better layout. Dining area stark and devoid of window coverings or wall decorations. Bar area seems to be the highlight.

Had a quick dinner here 5/17/24 , Although the food was good …the cocktail was better than the meal.( 👏 great Bartender!) Appetizers scored=50/50 Mozzarella sticks were perfect but boneless wings tasted like chicken meatballs and looked like them as well..(minced chicken 🤷‍♂️) I ordered the Bacon Mushroom Burger 🍔 medium well.. received it with NO Bacon and was well done, which was OK... My Dinner Partner ordered a Hot Sandwich ..chips loosely on the side of the sandwich would have been classier but it literally came with a small bag of Lays Chips.. That were OUTDATED by 5 months stamped best if used by 12/23! The waitress was wonderful and the meal came rather quickly. Atmosphere was good yet, tables were too close… it was quite the maze to leave.. OVERALL ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wanted to like this place... but... there are some issues with food, service, and billing protocols. The food was ok. Cheeseburger plate was fine. Turkey sandwich was ok. BLT was weak... couple small pieces of bacon in sandwich, no mayo on it but had some on the side of the turkey sandwich which was used on tge BLT. BLT Bread was toasted...not requested that way. Service was tough since there was only 1 waitress for a busy dining room. I guess that's why we were charged $1.50 for cheese on the cheeseburger (which was removed when we pointed that out),$6.50 for an Arnold Palmer that was mostly water.... and after paying the bill, had to ask for my change back. Definitely not going back.

The service was great, friendly staff. I had ordered takeout of a pizza and boneless wings. The order of boneless was "hot" but tasted mild. The sauce itself was excellent. However, the wings themselves were horrible. Multiple pieces were extremely tough and many of the pieces tasted foul. The cheese side of the pizza was good. The side with meat toppings, like with the chicken, tasted foul and off. So much so that it was not palatable for myself and my family. The price for a large, half topping pizza that was only eight slices and an order of boneless wings was astronomical, at over $36. This was the first and last time I will order from this establishment.

Very disappointed . Food not cooked all the way. Staff was rude. Wont be back,

I'd rather have frozen pizza it was horrible and tasteless , I definitely miss two brothers!!

Red front still makes the best pizza in Troy these guys have no idea how to make pizza

Digiorno makes better pizza. Two Brothers never should have left.

Horrible Service First off you walk in…there’s no reception or hostess…it’s all the way in the back of the restaraunt…we stood there for 10-15 minutes…waiting for a hostess or waitress or even the bartender who was 6’ away to even acknowledge us…several times I made eye contact with her…completely ignored me…not even I’ll be with you in a minute….waitresses came and went…even the cooks looked out and saw us standing there…finally another guest who was sitting on the window sill…b/c there’s no place for people to wait…told me you have to go get someone or else you’ll be waiting forever…so I had to walk to a waitress and ask them if they was a hostess…as soon as I started walking back to talk to a waitress all of a sudden I have their attention and she’s overly quick to cut me off and ask my name and tell me there’s a 10-15 minute wait…so i go back to the front to continue to wait…after a few more minutes of waiting…the bartender finally asks if she could help me…as if she hadn’t seen me before…she obviously saw me go back and talk the waitress and walk back b/c it’s all past the bar…really….then there’s the prices…top end prices for bar food…that’s nothing special…avg for any descent restaurant…certainly not worth the service and if that wasn’t enough…they mixed up the order…by putting the sides on different orders…overall not worth parting my money with…as Troy has a lot of better places to eat.

Bitter iced tea no ice. Asked for ice water got warm tap water with a few ice cubes that melted quickly. Food finally arrived and the burger tasted and smelled bad. Fries over cooked. Wasted $25. Pizza crust was flat and not good. Will not return.

Not happy with their process of waiting for a table. We waited for 30 minutes when we.were told 10-15 min wait. We gave our name and waited as we started to see people get seated that came in after us. I approached the staff and said that we came in after x person and was told that someone took our table. I asked what we were going to do about it and was advised that another table would open up in 30 mins. Instead of saying we would be the next person on the list we were moved to the bottom of the list. They can keep their food. To many other places to eat at.

Not good! I’m pretty sure the pizza comes out of a box from the freezer! Crunchy, crackly crust that tastes like a saltine cracker just like a frozen pizza should taste 😋 A large pizza is a rectangle, shrunk down to 14 x 9 after baking on a 17 x 11 Teflon cookie sheet (for cookies- not pizza). $24.00 ($$$$$) and they charge $16.00 for ten tiny wings.

We finally tried this new place, all I can say is, I miss “Two Brothers”!!!!!! The pizza is awful! The crust is made with regular flour, not a dough made correctly with yeast from a high gluten flour (which needs to rise), it’s exactly like the dough you get from those chef boy ‘r dee boxes- just add water!! Bleh! Then they put their ‘cracker tasting’ dough on rectangular Teflon pans, omg! The dough has nothing to cling to so your pizza ends up 3” smaller than it should’ve been! They forgot our appetizers, they give no salt and pepper. Idk who “Zotto” is, but he’s no Italian and his taste buds are stuck in the freezer section of Walmart!

I ordered take out and when I got home my pizza was burnt and like cardboard How did the cook not know it was burnt It looked like cardboard

Friends. I got hurt fairly good due to your lack of care. I'll update when you address this. Your parking lot is horrid ice no salt no sand. It's bad bad. I stepped out and immediately lost my legs under me and went down and pulled out my arm and landed on my ass and back. You need to do better. It's dangerous. Got the shrug from staff that knows how it is. Multiple others complained. At the end if the day it's your responsibility and I was legitimately hurt due to this. Not okay. Pure ice sheets untended and neglected.
