About Cafe Lark

A happy place for everyone!

Cafe Lark is a pizza restaurant in Albany, New York. It is listed at 452 Madison Ave, Albany, NY 12208, which places it among the local businesses of Albany that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Hours are published for 2 days a week. The most common schedule is 8:30 AM–12 AM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (518) 463-1111. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, cafelarkmenu.com.

With 3.5 out of 5 on Google from 245 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for pizza restaurants in Albany. Recent reviews are the best guide.

Albany is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Unexpectedly great food, this is my favorite spot for anything from spaghetti to soup to a gyro. Friendly, personal service, great central location, open late, and the best prices - they are in a league all their own when it comes to the prices they charge and then the generous portion you get. I pretty much always get two meals out of one dish, which is great. Thank you for all the great food!

The chicken noodle soup is incredible! Thank you! The serving size could be slightly larger for the money; but to get spicy egg drop chicken noodle soup was the nicest surprise of all time! Egg drop chicken soup is my favorite of all time! I will be back for more via Uber Eats or DoorDash or in person if I am ever in the area.

I ordered pesto tortellini and it was hard and stuck to the bottom of the container. When I called, they tried to explain to me how they only cooked it for three minutes, but it was still hard. No I did not want a refund or an exchange the restaurant just needs to do better.

i usually come here for a cheap slice. today i got 2 chicken bacon ranch slices, but instead they were chicken bacon bleu cheese. i asked for a side of ranch too, guess what i got a side of? blue cheese. disgusting. i tried to wipe off the blue cheese but that shit is so strong, i couldnt get the smell or taste off of it. i hate blue cheese SO much and will never come back here because of this. so angry i spent $9 on the most disgusting pizza i have ever ate. the food was never good but i came back for the convenience. never making that mistake again. GO TO PIZZARONI! they have way better pizza.

Feast Your Eyes, Albany! Cafe Lark, nestled on Madison Avenue in Albany, New York, isn't just a restaurant—it's a testament to the city's vibrant culinary scene. This place is a bona fide treasure, serving up everything from phenomenal pizza to incredibly flavorful gyros, and even venturing into the delightful world of samosas. It's truly a shining star among Albany's many eateries. The Budget-Friendly Feast As any Albany resident knows, finding an affordable, satisfying meal is a priority. My recent visit proved it's possible to dine like royalty without breaking the bank. I started with a generous slice of their Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, complemented by a slice of White Chicken Cheddar Broccoli. Both were a steal at just $4 each, a remarkable price given the abundant toppings. I also added three sizable samosas for only $5; they were bursting with flavor and clearly fried fresh. My total came out to a very reasonable $14, and they even threw in a free can of Coke! Service and Atmosphere: Top-Tier The service at Cafe Lark was truly immaculate. The gentleman who took my order was engaging, kind, and incredibly helpful, even offering genuine tips about other local restaurants. The
