Stopped in here for a couple slices at lunch in the recommendation of a friend. Had to try Old Forge pizza when I was out this way in Pennsylvania. I enjoyed it - kind of in between grandma and Sicilian style slices. Nice crispy crust, good sauce and flavorful cheese blend. Will be back! The owner knew everyone by first name who came in to pick up their lunch orders. A true gem.

Our favorite of The Old Forge pizza restaurants. They only do “takeaway”. The white is perfect and the red is also delicious. Could not be nicer servers. They have a bocce court and also a rental hall. At the “takeaway” store they offer a variety of Italian cuisine specialties.

This was my first experience trying Old Forge style pizza. It was by far the best pizza you can make! So buttery and crispy with a great tasting sauce. The prices are super reasonable, fast service. Overall a great experience and I wish I could eat it every day!

In town for new job and found this small shop that had the rumored “best old forge style pizza” So I decided to try it out. Ordered online and my order was just about ready once I got there. Staff is super friendly and treat you with the upmost respect. I got the pizza back to my hotel and it was very good! Fresh dough, and fresh toppings. Everything tasted up to par. Only thing (and I’m not deducting anything because this is my own preference) is I wish it had some type of butter or garlic butter on the crust. Nevertheless, flavor was present and I loved every bite of my pizza. If you’re a local or just passing thru and want to try some good pizza in the area, Arcaro and Genell is the place to go! best of wishes to the company❤️

The pizza is amazing as are the sodas. Next time I'll try the cheesecake. The two ladies working there were so nice too! I'll definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. I love this Old Forge pizza!

What happened here? You guys used to have to best pizza ever. Perfect crispy buttery crust, delicious homemade tasting sauce. Today I got two pies. The pizza looked different, smelled different, & taste absolutely horrible. I’m sorry if something happened to the old cook. If not, I’m really curious why the entire recipe changed? Why the down grade?

Pizza trail brought us here. Everything was absolutely perfect and delicious! They make fresh cannolis on request, just ask, the sign says so! Gluten-free ravioli too!! The pictures don't do it justice. We heated everything up when we got home and it smells just like when we picked it up. They have their own parking lot for "take aways", which is on the corner. Small parking lot but its literally all you need. They have music outside playing with chairs and table, so I'm sure its so inviting in the warmer months! Will be return customers when back in the area!!

ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE OLD FORGE 12 CUT STYLE PIE WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! We had friends over and we wanted to try out another pizza place here in the area after moving to Taylor two weeks ago. This was the third place we tried the dough was soggy n tough…soggy bottom dough…. Crisp…… didn’t exist…. Crap
And that was on the corner piece…. If you can’t get the crust right, how do you expect the rest of the pizza be any good or worth anything?
Our friends that were over I’ve never had old towards in 30 years that they’ve been here.
They weren’t even impressed, but now we know to make this number one place to never go back!
