15+ years ive been eating here. Since i was a teen. Im 29 now. Its changed owners many times but the menu and food quality has always been the same. Fast delivery.

Garlic Parm pizza and wings are amazing.
A native Vlietian, went back to Rusty’s after 20+ years. Was always one of my favorite wings in the area. Even if though they are under new management, it didn’t disappoint at all. Same great Buffalo flavor, also had the classic garlic parm and we all loved it. They even cooked to the perfect crisp. Will definitely go back when I’m back in town visiting family.
The staff is wonderful, the food is amazing especially with the prices and it is an old school atmosphere. I grab a pizza for my elderly dad and a calzone for myself every other week.
The original garlic parm wings were on point, Sicilian cut was perfect and the garlic knots were perfectly cool through overall a solid 8.8/10
Everything was GREAT! I'll definitely be back! Wing flavor was amazing. Wing sizes were a little disappointing. They tasted good though and were all edible! Loved my fried dough! Had to eat in the dark because of the storm but my "comfort" food made my night!

Cheesy garlic bread was probably the best I have had, the buffalo chicken pizza was perfect!!! If you are skiing make sure to grab a few of their giant chocolate chip cookies, you will thank me later!

I remember they used to have one of the best chicken wings in the area. It could be my memorys off and they weren't as good as I thought they were before but.... After ordering a large pepperoni pizza and 20 wings, I was unhappy with the entire order. The pizza was so greasy it resulted in the center of the pizza becoming almost soggy, and the wings were not even close to what I remember. They were wet and not crispy despite requesting extra extra crispy and the sauce was straight hot sauce poured into the takeout container. After everything I was extremely disappointed.
Hidden charm of Watervliet. Great food! I've been ordering from here for over 20 years now and never have had a bad meal. I go out of my way to order and drive here although I live in a different town with plenty of pizza places. Most recently I've tried different calzone options and they are all delicious! Good ingredients, large portions, baked perfectly. In the past I've eaten multiple great pizzas and wings, but those calzones are the best!!! 5 stars for the food! Only giving 4/5 stars because the outside of the business has not been painted or improved in the last 20 years. Looks very rough on the outside and if I didnt know already their food is fantastic I wouldn't try them or walk inside. Invest in a coat of paint and please add one chair inside. If I show up a few minutes early I have to stand there or go back out to my car to sit and both options are painful to me. I have bad hips so walking and standing are issues and I hurt either way. A chair would be greatly appreciated by your disabled customers. Thank you and good luck!!

Delivery took an hour and a half. Pizza wasn't cold, wasn't warm either. Tasted alright though 👍

Food was alright and the employees were helpful but the store itself needs some work, its run down and dirty as if no one knows what a broom or mop are. It's hard to distinguish the entrances as well due to poor signage.
Placed a big order, 2- 24 cuts, 2 order wings n 2 orders mozz sticks for my sons party today. The pizza was pretty good as were the mozz sticks. We had ordered 2 orders of boneless garlic parmesan wings. The wings had a mild sauce on them as well. Was pretty disappointed about this. My husband nor son will eat wings like this. Barely half of them were eaten because everyone said they were spicy. I had called tell the owner (assuming was owner). I told him we just wanted garlic parmesan he said that's how they are made with mild as well. I've never had this issue before, we paid $88 for food gave $100 total with tip. Just very unfortunate order food and get something other than what you want.

$47 for 2 topping 8 cut, 10 wings and a 2 liter Pizza hardly had any sauce and ½ the pizza had no cheese or onions. Driver said he was outside w. My order I opened the door nobody was there. I called the driver and he did not answer 😒 After finding the driver I open the pizza box and was very disappointed. I ordered mild wings extra saucy. Wings are a good size. They added extra grease 🤢 not mild sauce NOT worth $47+

Every time the Italian guy answers the phone my order is screwed up. We ordered our pizza well done it shows up tonight barley cooked. Last time ordering here.
I really didn’t wanna give one star, but they need better cooks with flavor, like everything was just thrown together and put in an oven

Can I just say I was charged 14.99 for boneless wings which is there bone in price also charged 21.00 dollars for a 6 cut with extra cheese total 36.00 dollars ! Outrages I was charged for all full priced menu items !! This place is a joke will never ever order again from there ! Mind you called 2 times to make sure of the price and that's what my card was charged and after reviewing menu items I was charged for a 12 cut pizza topping and full bone in wings about 8 dollars more ! I am a senior and on a fixed income ! Never again
If you want chicken tenders with some shitty sauce claiming to be chicken parm. This is your place. The garlic bread was good tho. Zero outa 10. Never again.
Just called and got hung up on immediately then upon calling again was met with an angry male yelling asking what I wanted like it isn’t a pizza shop😭
Ordered here the other night... wings tasted like burnt oil like the fryer oil hasn’t been changed in a long time and I instantly puked it was so gross. Also got a pizza that had more undercooked dough then sauce or cheese. Such a waste of money and I will never ever order here again!!!! Also the poor neighbors outback have the exhaust fan blowing right into their apartment windows so they to breath grease all day long especially on hot summer days! Wish they would do something about that as well as their nasty food, good riddance
I gave Rusty's one star just so I can make the review they don't deserve any stars I ordered a large cheese pizza and garlic knots both of them had hair on them when I called the store to complain told me that I was a liar because nobody in the store has here and he would not give me a refund he only offered to give me another Pizza I said why would I want to accept more food from a place that obviously is not up to code and is putting hair in the food whole situation was completely handled rude and unprofessional and I suggest that nobody even bothered going there because the pizza had half cheese on it and the rest was just dumb
