We were in town doing a beauty school visit at Aveda and decided to stop at Ballston Local for a quick lunch before heading back to the Woodbridge area. The establishment was large and were told we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a table all the way in the back which we regretted. Due to that section of the restaurant, it was VERY cold. The rest of the dining area did feel warmer so it was our fault lol. Our server was friendly and attentive and we really enjoyed our food. I forgot to take pictures of the fried cheese curds but they were tasty.

Fantastic location. They are very popular in the area especially because of their pizza, but other dishes are also delicious. Also their beverages are great. The staff is very attentive, friendly and quick.

Ballston Local is not just a restaurant; it’s a beacon of culinary delight, casting a warm and welcoming glow over the neighborhood. With its super friendly service and an atmosphere as inviting as a family gathering, this spot is a testament to the joy of shared plates and hearty conversations.

Our culinary journey at Ballston Local was nothing short of a gastronomic festival, celebrating the finest in casual dining with a twist of sophistication. The Mama’s Meatballs, nestled in herbed ricotta and accompanied by perfectly grilled garlic bread, were so tender and flavorful as if every bite whispers a secret recipe passed down through generations, served with a dollop of love.

The Caprese Crostini was a symphony of flavors, harmonizing the saltiness of prosciutto with the freshness of tomato and arugula, all elevated by a drizzle of balsamic reduction that danced on the palate. It wasn’t just an appetizer; it was an aria, sung by the ingredients in perfect pitch.

Pizza lovers, rejoice, for the Sausage & Roni Pizza is a masterpiece of dough, cheese, and cured meats. The blend of pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella, parmesan, and basil was a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create something magical. Each slice was a ticket to an Italian countryside.

The Italian Pork Store Special sandwich was a hearty homage to the classic Italian deli experience, with layers of prosciutto, sopressatta, ham, and fresh mozzarella, accented by roasted peppers and arugula, then kissed with vinaigrette. It was a hearty handheld feast that transported us straight to the streets of Rome, one savory bite at a time.

And then, there was the Blumont Burger, a burger behemoth that stood tall and proud. The caramelized onions, gorgonzola, arugula, and bacon came together in a beautiful, messy, glorious union, all slathered in burger sauce that could only be described as “nectar of the gods.” It was the kind of burger that demands your attention, commanding the stage with the poise of a seasoned actor. I’m not usually a fan of blue cheeses, but I would come back for this.

The beverage menu at Ballston Local was a parade of liquid joy. From a beer and wine list that is both satisfying and inviting to a fun and tasty cocktail menu that sparked conversation and laughter like the “Spa Day” made with gin, lavender simple syrup, and lime juice sparkling with gold flakes, every sip was a celebration of good taste and great company.

Overall, Ballston Local, in essence, is more than a restaurant–It’s a place where every dish is a discovery, every drink a delight, and every visit a return to a place where you’re always welcome.

Amazing place to eat! Love the pizza and atmosphere of the restaurant. My favourite pizza here was the Godfather. It has everything on it. Perfectly crisp and the crust is amazing. The waiter was attentive. Good stuff!

Great atmosphere for late night fun. Servers were responsive and helpful when it came to ordering drinks and food. Kitchen was closing soon however, I was still able to order food and it came out hot and fresh. Pizza is served all night drinks were strong but good!

LIVE MUSIC!

Service floated however, our table was always covered for the duration of our visit. Overall great experience I would definitely recommend anyone tapping into this spot for an evening of entertainment.

Such a fun place for happy hour! I’ve been to both the trivia night as well as the Singo night which was bingo but with songs, and both were a lot of fun! The pizza is super yummy and so are the drinks. We also got a lot of different apps and they were all tasty. There is both indoor and outdoor seating

Had a great time here. Really chill place to hang out and eat. The carne pizza and short rib poutine were excellent. The pizza had a nice spice to it. Need to go back to try the short rib grilled cheese. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Every time I go here, it’s busy but I get my order taken quickly. Isaac the manager and Kerry the bartender are great as are the rest of the staff. The pizza slices are good, and my personal favorite is the poutine. I recommend the smoked old fashioned. Kerry gave me a little rubber duck with my blue curaçao drink which was cool. This is my go to place for a good night.

Had a great time at Ballston Local! I stopped in for drinks and had a really good old fashioned — perfectly made. The place has a chill, old-school vibe and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. We shared the pretzel bites, which were warm, salty, and hit the spot. Just an easy, comfortable spot to relax and catch up with friends.
