I love and miss Alfredo's Square pizza with sausage. I grew up getting take out, and as they grew and put in a more comfortable restaurant, dining in. Now that I no longer live in the Scranton area, my fiancee and I count the days until we can make it back to Scranton and Alfredo's. my mom brings me pizza every time she comes to visit. I don't know if we'd allow her through the door without it. read more

A great place without a doubt. Fantastic service whether at the bar or table. The freshest and coldest drafts around and a very nice wine list with very reasonable prices. You can't go wrong no matter what you order, this place is a treasure. read more

We went here after my Grandmother's funeral so we were a large party of 30+. I was a little concerned after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. The service was great. The food was excellent and plentiful. I was amazed at how large the ceased salad, pretzel chicken, chicken Marsala etc. we're. There was more than enough God to go around. If you order a small pizza, don't think it is just for one. I joked that it was a Papa John's large. The only downside that I saw, and I am a pizza snob, is that they do not use fresh mushrooms on their pizza. I would highly recommend. The food came out fairly quickly and they were very attentive to the entire party. The other negative reviews do not do this place justice. read more

Not a good choice for dinner, food wasn't that hot or fresh. Dim lighting and took too long to get a drink because the "bartender was talking to someone." Waitress was rude. read more

Some of the best goopy cheese old forge style awesome pizza in Scranton, but they also have New York style for those who are difficult. Lots of martinis if you like that sort of thing. Outside seating, but it looks out ont the parking lot and McDonald's which is kind of hilarious read more

Quick business get together. Sat at the bar and ordered a wrap, boss had a hamburger. Both were ok. Nothing special but not bad. Typical bar foods. I've come on several occasions here as the location is convenient. Mostly I would order pizza and their pizza is very good. Overall, a good choice. read more

My favorite restaurant in Scranton! I love it here so much. The barbecue chicken pizza is amazing. Love the garlic breadsticks, rice pilaf, Fettuccine Alfredo, steak fries, and chicken tenders. My best friend and I eat here a lot. Convenient location, good hours, nice martini selection - and tasty! The only thing is that sometimes, the service is slow. But it has been pretty good the last few times I visited. read more

I love Alfredo's! I come here for the square cut pizza and they never fail me. The crust is always perfect, the sauce is delicious, and the cheese is melted bliss. Yes, the square pizza is "different" than other pizza. If you don't like it, then order the round pizza and be done with it. Yes, the food takes a little longer, but it's worth the wait. read more

This is a great Italian restaurant with indoor or outdoor seating (weather dependent). Salmon is some of the best I have eaten so is the tuna. Pasta is cooked just right, not mushy at all. read more

Friendly staff. Food is very good. Very large portions! Prices are reasonable. Recommend the butternut squash ravioli! Well worth the trip. read more

What a HUGE disappointment! I was so excited to have my first Gluten free pizza from Alfredo's .before being diagnosed 10 years ago with Celiac disease, Alfredo's was my favorite pizza. Being unable to have wheat or gluten in my diet, imagine how excited I was to have a gluten free pizza from here! The sauce and the cheese was NOT at all the same as used on your regular pizza. Can't understand why you would serve a totally different recipe?? There is no cheese I know of that has Wheat in it??!! And all other pizza businesses I have bought from have NO wheat in their sauce either?????? You serve the SAME crust as every other pizza joint too, thin , hard, tasteless and OVER cooked! I know these gluten free crusts are bought FROZEN with ten to a bag..maybe $15.00??......How can you justify charging me $15.00 for this pizza? And NO toppings might I add. I would Gladly have paid $15 if this pizza was at least similar to your recipe! read more

Very sad day for me. Alfredo's Pizza was one of our favorite Pizzeria's in the area until tonight. I ordered a take out pizza, figured I would take it easy and watch some football over some beers and Pizza. I was told it would take 45 minutes. No problem, figured it was worth it! Pizza was waiting on the oven when I got there to pick it up. Looking forward to a relaxing evening, I drove home; was tempted to take a slice right out of the box but withheld my craving. After a few bites while watching tv, my children and husband all mentioned that this pizza was't fresh and questioned when I picked it up. Reluctantly, I phoned to share the feedback and to see what my options were since this surely was not the quality we were accustomed too. I was told to come back down and they would be glad to make me a fresh one. Reluctantly, I made the decision to track down and drive 15 minutes for a fresh pizza. They did request I bring the pizza back. I took the remaining untouched pizza back to the restaurant. I was greeted by the cashier who I took notice was a very hard worker, she actually was the only one running around, while all other workers were standing around. After patiently waiting approximately 10 minutes, I was given half a pizza. I hesitantly looked at her and questioned it. She apologized but said that is what the manager will allow. At that point I wasn't sure of my reaction, I walked out almost shaking my head. I later called and shared my frustration. I spoke with the Manager Sue, who said was the general manger. I questioned her regarding her customer service skills which I will say she absolutely had none. She told me that if I didn't like the pizza, I should not have eaten it. I could believe what I heard! Well that is it for me, looking for a new pizzeria. Cost of customer service is everything. Too bad, I really like the pizza. read more

This is a place I have been coming to for years. Food was always a little pricey, and the wait for food, long, however, I am always willing to pay more and wait if the product is that good. Alfredo's always produced a good product. Lately however, it has gone down hill. I have heard many people complain about the food and I myself recently had a bad meal. My salad had wilted lettuce and dried up turkey and ham on it; disappointing for a place that always offered quality. Even more disappointing is the owners need to inject political beliefs onto his customers. Private conversations among guests should never be interfered with. When you own a business that should never happen. Many people have been complaining about this intrusion by the owner and now I experienced it first hand; very sad. Politics should never be discussed by the owner. As Michael Jordan once said, "republicans buy sneakers too." There are so many great old and new restaurants in Scranton today, and we no longer have to rely on the same old thing. I would suggest Bar Pazzo, the AV, or the Brick Oven just to name a few. Very sad that good things don't last, but sometimes that is to one's own detriment. read more

Good place, needs updating thou...... We decided to try the tomato basil pizza with mozzarella cheese. The pizza was thin & crispy, tasty and quite good. We also shared an anti-pasto salad which we both enjoyed. We sat in a booth adjacent to the kitchen but the seat / spring in cushion were broke. We moved to the next booth but that was the same also. It almost felt like sitting on a tire, the center of the cushion collapsed, making it very uncomfortable. The only other complaint we had was the amount of time it took to receive our meal. If you're in a hurry, this might not be the place to go for pizza. read more

Drinks from the bar took forever to come, and by the time it did come the martini was not super chilled like ordered. Food was ok, nothing over fabulous to write home about. Salads are big and can be split. If you're looking for atmosphere you def. won't get it in this strip mall location. If you need a bite and your close by, you will get a decent affordable meal. read more

The only good thing on the menu here is the Ahi tuna salad. And it's fantastic. Unfortunately, everything else about this restaurant is horrible. The service is slow, the manager is the rudest person alive. Even delivery isn't a viable option, seeing that it takes over an hour for a hoagie or half tray of pizza to be delivered a few blocks away. The girls on the phone are beyond rude, I have actually had a girl on the phone lie to me and tell me that the restaurant stopped carrying salads one night, only to walk into the restaurant a few weeks later and see the exact salad still listed on the menu. When I asked the manager about this issue, she defended the girl saying "Maybe she didn't know." Seriously?! The only reason I go to this restaurant is because my family likes it there, and even they are getting fed up with their crap service. There are so many other restaurants to go to in this area with better food and service, and I don't think we will be wasting our time in this place any more. read more

Overall not bad however they need to hire people to work the counter that actually shower--or appear as if they so. There was a lady there one night that looked like she dunked her head in the frier, her hair was so greasy read more

Alfredos......... Food is decent. My favorite is the southwestern wrap. but it's overpriced and doesn't have the best service. I would go there again though read more

In South Side this is the only game in town. So that's why the prices are so high. they do have the best pizza in Southside they also have the highest prices in Southside. so if you believe getting what you pay for this is the right place for you. I do believe if there was another restaurant with even mediocre quality in South Scranton their business would go down tremendously. read more

While dining in at Alfredo's is usually a pleasure, I do not recommend ordering anything for home delivery. We had one of the worst pizza deliveries ever this past Saturday. The person taking the order just about refused the order and I wish she had. Tossed the tray of square red plain pizza right in the trash. It's time to find a new favorite. read more

Great food, but a very rude and unhelpful staff behind the to-go counter. The waitresses seemed nice.

Food is decent as far as hoagies and some of the meals are concerned. The square pizza is aweful,it's topped with a mix of gooey disgusting cheese and tons of onions Service is mediocre but the owner's girlfriend who is scantly dressed and half is age gives the place a trashy ambiance with her PDA's as she was allover the old man. read more

The service was perfectly adequate. The salad was too. The pizza? While I wouldn't describe it as the "hot circle of garbage" served at Pizza by Alfredo, we got the white "Pizza Alfredo Plus" with chicken. I understand why that pizza is eat in only--there isn't anything sticking it to the crust with the greasy alfredo sauce and piles of cheese; the toppings would definitely slide right off in a car. It was the kind of thing that made us feel like we were putting our bodies (hearts) under assault and didn't taste good enough to do that. The chicken was rubbery cubes on top (definitely not as good as Trader Joe's packaged precooked stuff). The spinach on it was good, so I picked that off. More cheese and fat is not the answer to every recipe question. read more

Had reservations here with my wife at 5:30 one night and came to restaurant that turned out to be crowded but we had a reservation so I assumed we'd have no problem... Wrong. The Asian seating manager told us they didn't have room and we'd have to wait 30-45 min for a table and time we reserved for! It was crazy. She didn't even ask us nicely either just a firm telling us how it is. I could see maybe waiting a little time to have to wait but not that long. We left and never went back. Horrible service!! read more

We came for half priced martini Wednesday and they were all delicious. The pizza is the best in town but our waiter, Cody, was even better!!!! read more

While visiting the Scranton area recently I was greatly disappointed at both the quality of food and service at Alfredo's Pizza Cafe. The pizza had lower ingredient quality than a frozen pizza, with the cheese seeming more like a Velveeta quality 'mozzarella' than fresh cheese. While waiting to be eaten, the other cheese on the other pieces congealed and was even less enticing than the first piece so much so that no one at the table at more than one piece. Though the people were friendly the service was slow, the people at the table beside us arrived and ordered 15 minutes later yet they received their identical order 10 minutes before. All total it was a 1 hour 23 minute meal which only had time added to it because we had to go to a second place for a meal. read more

AWFUL SERVICE! The people who work there act like you are doing them a disservice by giving them business. Whether you eat in or take out there is a 90% chance you will run into some kind of awful customer service. The lady who answers the phone is horribly rude and hates the world. The waiter/waitress' forget you sat down (sometimes a few times per visit). The food saves this business because the workers are about as bad as it can possibly get. WORD TO ALFREDOS WORKERS: CUSTOMERS ARE THE REASON YOU HAVE JOBS! read more

Every time i order from this place i only get my favorite, double crust white pizza with mushrooms. Sad thing is i usually have to wait like an hour to get it. But other than that, i recommend it to anyone read more

Got seated at table after 25 min wait. One hour later received a house salad within 35 mins. One hour later received soup. Still waiting for pizza and rest of entrees. Waitress very nice but clearly they are not prepared!!!! Very disappointed and ruined our evening! read more

I went out to eat with about 9 other coworkers on a Tuesday night. The waitress took what seemed like forever just to bring our drinks over, then took orders. No one ordered anything extravagant, just some pizza, wraps, stromboli, and just one pasta dish (which I can make at my house within 15 minutes). First off, we sat down at our table at 6pm. One of my coworkers was tired of waiting and walked out around 7:15. It took almost a half hour just to bring out 1 salad, and by 7:30 we still did not receive our food. Around 7:40 the manager came by and said the food would be out soon. They were telling us that for an hour. We heard at least 3 excuses as to why our food was taking so long, Oh the waitress didn't put the order in right away, the pizza is taking 45 minutes to cook, they're still working on SALADS. We told the manager that there was a party with more people sitting next to us that we watched receive their appetizers, dinners, AND DESERT! And everyone else in the room have come and gone while we still did not receive our food. To which the manager replied, "I am not going to sit here and argue with you guys, it will get you nowhere. Well, that was the last straw. We threw down money for the items we consumed and walked out....with no intentions of returning. We can not believe a manager spoke to us like that. Customer service was absolutely horrible. read more

I have been going here for years and never had the experience that I had recently. We had a family dinner for 10 people. Initially the service was good but once our order was placed service fell short. We ordered mainly pizza and one sandwich. It took awhile to get a second drink then when the pizza came our waitress disappeared and no sandwich. About 10-15 minutes later we had to ask the manager about the sandwich. She went and got it as well as our second round of drinks. Once we were done and got our bill the gratuity of course was added because of the number of the party but 20% was not deserved for the service we received. Then on top of it all, the managers came back to the table and asked us how much longer we were going to be because they had other people waiting for a table. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I have never had someone ask us to leave an establishment. Terrible way of serving people! Don't know if I will ever go back! read more

I have had Alfredo's several times and their pizza is unreal. Hands down one of my favorite square pizzas at a reasonable price. The sauce and the cheese are amazing, not to mention that this pizza fills you up! Have a couple slices and you are full, they are also very quick with orders. I place an order for a pizza and it is ready very quickly. Definitely a hidden gem in a crappy strip mall location! read more

I've never had anything bad here and is always exceptionally good food. I've eaten in once and had delivery or pick up many times. On busy nights like Friday night, an hour to get food delivered or even pick up is normal. It is worth the wait. I love their veal marsala (i'd swear I was at the old Villa Maria I), square pizza and strawberry salads. They have many flavors of martinis too! This is just good food. read more

Was there last weekend had a group of 9 and got there around 5:00. We were seated immediately which was great since we had no reservations. The waitress was friendly and we ordered antipasto and buffalo wings and pizza. We got both round and square trays. All they food was very good. The balsamic dressing was very sweet. The pizza there is great. Their round is more traditional pizza style. The square was amazing. The cheese blend is very good and I usually like a lot of sauce but this pizza doesn't have much sauce but is better than most traditional pizzas. Their sausage is very good as well. I highly recommend this place for pizza. I'd bet the other food is great but I always go with a home run and that's the pizza. read more

Their pizza is really good. Their breadsticks are terrible. Their martinis are good. Their prices are high. It's a nice atmosphere. It's just okay overall. read more

Food is AMAZING! Service was terrible the first time. The second time, service was great. The first time, the manager told us that they don't have to remember our name because everyone knows the order they came in. Well, 50 minutes later we still weren't seated. Once seated, the server was not very attentive. Thank goodness the food was excellent and so were the drinks. However, on Saturdays the drinks are only 1/2 price at the bar. Therefore, you had to leave your table and go to the bar to save some money, which is ideal for a graduate student! Second time, we went earlier and the guy server was excellent! read more

Went for a late dinner after a movie. I know others complained about the service, I can't, ours was outstanding . Food was very good, would definitely go back & would recommend to others. read more

Yesterday, at a not so busy hour, Our party of 5 was seated in the back room.....our server, supposedly the most senior server, was pleasant, but horrifically slow. We waited well over 20 minutes just to get our drinks..iced teas for most and 1 soda...nothing complicated. One hour and 20 minutes later we received a partial order...a tray of pizza for the table. Waiter said he was now going to put in our sandwich and salad orders which could take longer...really??? They are salads....we also placed a takeout pizza order which the waiter didn't bother to place until we were finished eating. Another 20-30 minute wait. We asked for our check in the meantime....waited again.....check was wrong..charged for wine we didn't have. Manager had to undo the charge....I told him about the poor service...he said he would make good NEXT TIME. A. There won't be a next time. B.as if the manager would remember us and the situation next time. Horrendous response from manager......I believe a lot of the problem was in the kitchen...understaffed...slow...whatever....I overheard 2 waitresses complaining that there were no round or square pizzas ready for in house diners...that's a definite kitchen problem.... read more

I absolutely love this pizza place. The food is outstanding. The service is fast and the food is cheap. I would recommend this pizza cafe for anyone who needs a good bite to eat any time of the day. read more

The cheese is awefull!!! Its like sandwich cheese on a pizza. We ordered a large square thick crust and ate one piece and that was just to try it. Very nasty!!!! read more
