First time here. Reasonably priced and multiple options, including gluten-free and cauliflower crust. Friendly staff. Warehouse type atmosphere with a lot of seating. The only complaint I overheard was that the ice machine was not working, and the soda was not that cold without it. Would definitely go back. Got a gluten-free pepperoni pizza, and I liked it!

I love this place. Hand made pizza, made to order, in a classic Italian, corner pizza shop atmosphere. The owners are lovely and hospitable, and they even gluten free options that are to die for. I can't recommend this hidden gem enough

Love having a place that’s safe and yummy having dairy and gluten allergies! Their cold foam is amazing and love their house made flavors for lattes. Have been going to this owner since they were in glens falls and send tons of people their way. Great customer service! You won’t be disappointed!

My wife, girlfriend and I visited Toro of Albany last night and the experience left us all dissatisfied. The blue corn tortillas used for the gluten free application of the chicken tacos were meely and unappetizing. The 32$ enchiladas with shrimp were 90% tortilla. Each only had 1 shrimp and very little filling. For the price tag, we expected a fantastic meal and it was not delivered. The margaritas were ok but at 15$ a piece, seemed over priced. The only bright spot was our bar tender, rob I believe. He was smart, funny, knowledgeable and overall the best part of the experience. Overall I would say visit this spot for drinks and conversation only.

Food was great. Portions large. Prices were reasonable. Service was wonderful. Very patient with our large group. Gluten free and vegetarian options clearly labeled.

Delicious authentic gluten free and vegan! Had an amazing meal trying injera for the first time and I'm already looking forward to next time

We love Savoy Taproom!! We always make a point to stop in for dinner whenever we're in the neighborhood. This is a fantastic gem for gluten free/dietary restriction folks, as there is a dedicated gluten free fryer AND most breaded/fried items are breaded in non-gluten containing batters! This is one of the only places I can get a fried chicken sandwich, fries, fried cheese curds, etc. since I've gone gluten free. Further, the craft cocktails are exquisite, the staff knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind, and the ambience great for evening/weekend dining. I can't think of a more perfect place to celebrate date night, get togethers with close friends, or any special occasions.

Classic smoothie bar and health food style spot but all vegan and gluten free so their whole menu can be enjoyed by everyone! Their salads are so delicious I loved the fresh and bright flavors of the Thai salad, while the salads are very well priced, their juice is tasty but surprisingly expensive compared to their much larger smoothies so I'd definitely go for those next time

Gluten-free vegan dishes that will amaze. Really great. Fun environment, and very helpful and friendly staff. Thanks!

I am celiac and I have been ordering their food for 3 weeks now. It is a lifesaver not having to go through the stress of cooking every meal now and getting glutened since I live with someone who eats wheat.

We came here twice during our stay in Albany and it was great. We visited for breakfast and lunch and both times were lovely. Extremely cozy space, makes you feel at home. The quality of the food was great, very filling and tasty. Guacamole was amazing, breakfast was extremely tasty. Gluten-free accommodating as well! Mentioned that one of us could not have gluten, the owner explained and recommended items on the menu that could be accommodated. Knew about cross-contamination and informed us the bread is toasted on shared equipment so they offered to toast the bread another way that was safe. Nice to know that the ingredients are also local! The owner is very friendly and welcoming, it really was great. We'll definitely stop by when we're in the area again.

Really happy I did not read the reviews ahead of time. This place was great. I was blown away by the amount of options that are gluten free. I had to try the gluten free mac and cheese and wow it did not disappoint. Also tried the tofu and quinoa bowl, the carrot chili vinagrette was so good! The service was top notch, and they even threw in a lemonade, I tried the habiscus lemonade which was not too sweet, just perfect. Highly recommend.

I have Celiac's Disease and they label every food and sauce to let you know if it's vegan, gluten free, etc. The employees are awesome and the food is incredible!! Take my money, I love this place!

Brandice Roberts

Good poke. Gluten free soy sauce ( but no other GF sauces). Only one employee, so a bit slow.

Dr. Ellis

I loved the sweet potato bowl and the gluten free mac & cheese.

When I stopped eating meat at 12, Wizard burger is the kind of place I dreamed of. Super cool vibes. Delicious food. Kind, passionate, wonderful people. It's been so awesome watching these folks grow from vegan tacos served twice a week in a tiny Troy shop to becoming an Albany staple. I sadly can't really eat here at this point because gluten cross contamination but that's not on these dudes. My mom still eats here. She calls it the ultimate treat on hard days and her vegan coworker always begs her for leftover fries. These dudes make veganism cool. Keep it up!
