Carmine's Refugio Italiano - Coxsackie

While traveling through Coxsackie, I decided to stop in at Carmine's for lunch takeout. This casual pizza shop and Italian eatery serves up traditional thin crust pizzas whole pie or slices), calzones, strombolis, salads, pasta dinners, and bottled drinks from the cooler. The prices are fair. The place is order at the counter and there is ample seating in the dining room which has a flatscreen TV. I ordered a Calzone with Sausage $11 plus tax) which was made to order and ready in about 15 minutes. The sausage calzone was very good and very hot, which was a thick soft and slightly chewy dough pocket filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and ground sausage, served with a zesty tomato sauce on the side. I enjoyed my food outside since it was a nice sunny day outside and warming up too! The owner was running the kitchen and counter and asked me if I was paying cash or card. I usually pay cash and I was told if I had exact change $11.88), that would be helpful since his wife made a bank run and took the money too. Luckily, I had lots of loose change on me was able to pay exactly $11.88, which the owner was very thankful.

Carmine is awesome!! Great pizza and they deliver!!
