Fantastic location. They are very popular in the area especially because of their pizza, but other dishes are also delicious. Also their beverages are great. The staff is very attentive, friendly and quick.
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!
The Ballston Local is simply fantastic, the ownership and staff are all incredible!! Bartenders Louie, Bree, Maddie, Sophia, and Kerry are just simply the very best of the best!! The Ballston Local name is so indicative of the local atmosphere that permeates the establishment where everyone in the area (and visitors) can come enjoy a great happy hour or evening of fun. The food and service is top notch, and I'm so happy that I found this place! I highly recommend the Ballston Local to everyone of all persuasions and backgrounds. Great Vibe!!
Every time I go here, it’s busy but I get my order taken quickly. Isaac the manager and Kerry the bartender are great as are the rest of the staff. The pizza slices are good, and my personal favorite is the poutine. I recommend the smoked old fashioned. Kerry gave me a little rubber duck with my blue curacao drink which was cool. This is my go to place for a good night.
Such a fun place for happy hour! I've been to both the trivia night as well as the Singo night which was bingo but with songs, and both were a lot of fun! The pizza is super yummy and so are the drinks. We also got a lot of different apps and they were all tasty. There is both indoor and outdoor seating
Ballston Local is not just a restaurant; it's a beacon of culinary delight, casting a warm and welcoming glow over the neighborhood. With its super friendly service and an atmosphere as inviting as a family gathering, this spot is a testament to the joy of shared plates and hearty conversations. Our culinary journey at Ballston Local was nothing short of a gastronomic festival, celebrating the finest in casual dining with a twist of sophistication. The Mama's Meatballs, nestled in herbed ricotta and accompanied by perfectly grilled garlic bread, were so tender and flavorful as if every bite whispers a secret recipe passed down through generations, served with a dollop of love. The Caprese Crostini was a symphony of flavors, harmonizing the saltiness of prosciutto with the freshness of tomato and arugula, all elevated by a drizzle of balsamic reduction that danced on the palate. It wasn't just an appetizer; it was an aria, sung by the ingredients in perfect pitch. Pizza lovers, rejoice, for the Sausage & Roni Pizza is a masterpiece of dough, cheese, and cured meats. The blend of pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella, parmesan, and basil was a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create something magical. Each slice was a ticket to an Italian countryside. The Italian Pork Store Special sandwich was a hearty homage to the classic Italian deli experience, with layers of prosciutto, sopressatta, ham, and fresh mozzarella, accented by roasted peppers and arugula, then kissed with vinaigrette. It was a hearty handheld feast that transported us straight to the streets of Rome, one savory bite at a time. And then, there was the Blumont Burger, a burger behemoth that stood tall and proud. The caramelized onions, gorgonzola, arugula, and bacon came together in a beautiful, messy, glorious union, all slathered in burger sauce that could only be described as "nectar of the gods." It was the kind of burger that demands your attention, commanding the stage with the poise of a seasoned actor. I'm not usually a fan of blue cheeses, but I would come back for this. The beverage menu at Ballston Local was a parade of liquid joy. From a beer and wine list that is both satisfying and inviting to a fun and tasty cocktail menu that sparked conversation and laughter like the "Spa Day" made with gin, lavender simple syrup, and lime juice sparkling with gold flakes, every sip was a celebration of good taste and great company. Overall, Ballston Local, in essence, is more than a restaurant--It's a place where every dish is a discovery, every drink a delight, and every visit a return to a place where you're always welcome.
Had a great time here. Really chill place to hang out and eat. The carne pizza and short rib poutine were excellent. The pizza had a nice spice to it. Need to go back to try the short rib grilled cheese. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Each night was Great... You walk in and seat yourself. All the sports were on to watch. The atmosphere was contagious. Great place for friends to meet up or just going solo. The Honey Wings, BBQ Wings and the Chicken Nachos are a must have. I will definitely be back... Oh... Live music on Saturday night!!
