My wife and I stopped here before a show at the Troy music hall on a Friday night. We had the Artichoke Spinach dip for an appetizer, and it was delicious! We shared a pizza and it was equally delicious as well. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was a little loud but the place was packed and everyone was enjoying good food and good company. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

Imagine a world where every single bite of pasta includes a flavor burst of perfection with mind blowing sauce plus noodle plus meat in every bite. Order the hercules and this world could be yours. Pair with DAOU wine and you might just never leave. Nothing can compare to this meal of italian in such an ambiance with the KINDEST of service. Jim gave us a tour of the place right when we got there to see their incredible wood fire oven that's been hot for 17 years. Our serve Aly was amazing and so helpful!! 1000/10 recommend

I love an underground spot. Maybe a hot take but the pizza was not my favorite ever, but it was worth it. Service was good. You can't go wrong with a personal size pizza! Just the right amount. The decor inside is neat and there's a really cute corridor seating arrangement inside for a date night

Bacchus Wood-Fired is absolutely delicious! My favorite aspect of this place has to be the atmosphere and ambiance. The pizza oven creates such a fun vibe, and the ambient lighting enhances the whole experience. We started with their garlic bread, and it was divine - freshly baked bread with gooey mozzarella inside. Just thinking about it now is making my stomach growl haha I tried the Bacchus Pizza Margherita, The Ambustus, and the Cheese Trigeminious, and they were all incredible. My top picks were definitely the Ambustus and the Cheese Trigeminious. The personal-sized pizzas are just the right portion, but you can also opt for a larger size for a slightly higher price, perfect for a tasty lunch the next day! I'm already planning my next visit to try their Shrimp Pesto Pizza and the Hercules Pasta. Plus, they have a fantastic deal on Mondays - a beer and a personal-sized pizza for only $10. Count me in for next Monday! ;)

I had such a wonderful time at Bacchus! Located in a basement, this intimate and dimly lit bar/restaurant feels like you've temporarily left reality. The interior is really cool, and if you look carefully you'll find what looks like an old wine cellar turned into an intimate seating for four. Beyond this, there is a bar area, an additional indoor eating area, and outdoor seating- plenty of space for groups small and large. Importantly, the pizzas were delicious! A scrumptious wood fired pizza with a variety of toppings, including a create your own option! Most pizzas have a personal size or sharing size option (brunch pizzas are personal size, but still shareable if you get more than one). We ordered the "Dear Dana" and "Pan's Labyrinth" pizzas. Both were fantastic but the Pan's Labyrinth really hit home for me- the balsamic drizzle really added a nice and flavorful contrast to the pizza. Finally, our server was very nice, and when we asked about dessert, she recommended this amazing dessert bread, which featured pizza dough, Nutella, marshmallow fluff, and whipped cream sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. Delicious! All in all I thought this was a really cool place with tasty pizzas, and I can't wait to try more.

I was in Troy a few weeks and did not double dip eating at one spot except for Bacchus. Their wood fired pizza was amazing, especially paired with a decent wine menu. I frequented two Thursday nights and the place was very relaxing and chill. Good menu to make your own pizza or pasta. I had the ambustus, nice and spicy. Overall great experience. My server Asia was amazing and very attentive/charming. I would go back to Bacchus again if I am in the area, recommended.

Great spot for wood fired pizza and pasta! I went on a Tuesday evening and was sat immediately. We started with the roasted garlic bulb and wood fired garlic parm wings. Both were fantastic! For entrees, we ordered the Mozza'Bella pizza and Spaghetti and meatballs with their red pepper cream sauce. The pizza was perfectly cooked. It was topped with meatballs, mozzarella, spinach, and garlic with a red sauce. I can't recommend it enough! The pasta was also delicious and the sauce was great. Overall, it's a great spot in Troy for fantastic wood fired pizza and pasta. We also enjoyed their craft beer offerings -- there were more than a dozen to choose from.
