I was invited here before I looked at the reviews and wasn't expecting much.  Let me say that after reading the reviews, and as a first time customer I think the trick is what you order.  

We ordered several pizzas, including the COB, the fisherman's platter, the breaded wings, and calamari.  The BEST pizza  was the works.. salami, bacon, tomato, peppers, sausage, mushroom and extra cheese.. wow.  I typically don't love pizza (long story short I OD'd on pizza when I worked at a pizza place in college) but I ate this deliciousness the following day for breakfast and lunch.  The French fries were undercooked, but the clams in the fisherman basket were amazing.. as was the blue cheese I can only assume was homemade.  The service was good, our server was accompanied by a few others and they were working hard.

Oh and even for a little "hole in the wall", they still carried Prosecco.. winning!!!

The best part- the prices were very reasonable for this pizza feast- I will be back fo sho.

This is your typical Troy hole in the wall Italian joint.  I hadn't been inside in 20 years and my mom hadn't been in since college, but she said not much has changed since she visited 40+ years ago.

It was kind of dark inside, very casual and a bit of a dated look.  This probably isn't the spot to go if you are looking for a swanky and romantic ambiance.    

Red Front is famous for it's COB (upside down) pizza.  I have not had that style pizza since my visit years ago, so I was very curious to try it.  My dad and I split a 6 cut pizza, this was plenty for the two of us. 

The COB pizza had the cheese on the bottom and sauce on the top.  The sauce is really tasty and a bit sweeter.  The crust had a nice texture to it.

My mom wanted the antipasto salad and it was HUGE, probably something you could split as an appetizer between 4 people.  

My husband and I used to pick up the regular pizza (cheese on top) from here in 2014 before we moved and we LOVED it.  So delicious!  

Red Front has a really nice selection of Italian-American classics on the menu.  I think most vegetarians will be happy with the food choices.
