Puterko's Family Pizzeria, nestled in the serene Indian Lake region, is a hidden gem that delights both locals and visitors alike. This family-run establishment is lauded for its crispy crust and diverse selection of pizzas, ranging from the adventurous Cowboy pizza—which boasts chicken, BBQ, and cheese—to the unique Polander, layered with kielbasa and sauerkraut. Customers rave about the quality and flavor, often driving from far and wide just to indulge in their deep-dish offerings.
Beyond the pizza, the menu caters to various dietary preferences, featuring vegan cheese and an assortment of vegetable toppings that please both traditionalists and those seeking healthier alternatives.

Some of the best pizza I have yet to have! Crispy bottom to the crust with just the right amount of toppings. Great options and unique ones too! From the Cowboy (chicken, onion, BBQ, cheese, etc) and the Polander (cheese, spicy brown mustard, kielbasa, and sauerkraut) posted below to regular pizza galore. We stopped here just as a place to stop and found great family service with excellent pizza. Would go back time and again for sure!

We liked it so much the first time that we drive from Speculator just to buy pizza from this shop. It is cheaper and tastier by far. Deep dish is amazing. Ask for extra sauce. Family run and they are friendly.

My wife and I love this place! They have vegan cheese and lots of options for vegetable toppings. The pizzas are delicious. And the French fries are excellent. We eat there every time we vacation in Indian Lake. Oh, and the Puterko family members are all super nice. Can't wait to eat there again next time we're in town.

So surprised to find seriously good NY pizza on the central Adirondacks. Really great pizza dough/crust and sauce too, and any real pizza lover knows it all starts on a great crust, and these guys nail it. Great sandwiches & tasty hot dishes. And yeah, the pizza! Most pizzas are truly excellent, have tried several items while visiting & camping nearby over past 3 yrs. They do some very different specialty dishes & pizzas, very cool & not just the usual. I'll mention just one pizza not worth getting (unless it was a one-time mess-up & maybe they fixed it by now?), and that was the Margherita pizza; last time we ordered that was summer 2020 though on this one order occasion somebody decided it was OK to use a heavy layer of dried basil instead of real fresh basil leaves, on a Margherita pizza! Good God NO, never do that, bitter as hell. I hope that has changed or was a one-time mistake, & would ask & confirm that they're using FRESH basil before ordering the Margherita. If not, they should pull it off the menu. Every other dish & pizza we've ordered here has been really good to excellent. No hesitation, we return often, easily at least once per trip to Indian Lake.

The pizza, wings, garlic knots and pasta were delicious and the prices are good. My family enjoyed everything that we ordered for takeout. We did have trouble getting ahold of them on the phone to place an order, but they were slammed with business. I'm sure it's hard to predict when they will be busy and who knows maybe someone called in. I give them a five star because the foods so good and the staff is friendly even when they're very busy. I'll be ordering again when we're in the area.

If you have been to Indian lake New York and around the upstate New York Adirondack’s you have to stop here!!!!!!! Right off of RT.28–RT.30— less than 1 minuet from the corner of Stewart’s in Indian lake NY. I’m a chef for a very long time with high end culinary art drive and I’ve had a lot of pizza in small towns but the ingredients and finesse they use for pizza art is a must try!!!!!!! Please support there finesse!!!

Pizza was delish. Extra respect for being in the mountains. Great sauce and cooked perfectly. Almost like a wood fire but they use a conventional oven. Wings are unique. I think it was a dry rub. Very tasty. My daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo and loved it. Excellent service. I will come back.
