We are driving through to Montreal. Searched for outdoor dining. This place had only ok reviews but an interesting photo. Wow are we happy. This is a family place, friendly, enthusiastic and the food made us feel we were back in Italy. We ordered baked ziti and an Italian salad. It's bring your own bottle but luckily we had a bottle in the car. It is not factory food or a corporate establishment. read more

This used to be one of my favorite Italian restaurants, unfortunately, the last two times I went I have been disappointed. The pizza slice was incredibly thin. read more

Great local pizzeria and authentic Italian cooking! Food is always fresh and flavorful, service is always on point. I usually order for pick up to take home but occasionally dine in their outdoor patio area (See Photos). Indoor dining/seating is very spacious too. Everything on the menu is a win, you can't go wrong on what you choose to order! Friendly and attentive staff, family owned restaurant which they make you feel welcomed every time! Must try it, thank me later! read more

Good food good stuff well-made I give it a 10 out of 10 good stuff kind well also deserved review at 10 out of 10

Best food. Great people! Been going here for years. Worth the drive and worth the wait!

Ordered a large pizza last night 4-4-25 @ 6 pm . I have going to Alta for years and has always been very good! But now I'm just not sure what is happening with the food! I picked it up after the 45 minutes that I was told and brought it home. Opening the box the pizza was very dark looking and cold. Lifting it up and I saw it was burnt and the crust was very hard ! The pizza was really bad and tasted awful like it was sitting or old. Had to throw it away !! I don't know what is wrong with the staff but I hope they fix this and get back to the very good restaurant food they had in the past !! read more

Small little Italian pizzeria, no seating but great atmosphere. The cashiers and staff are very friendly and work well together to make sure every order has what it needs. They do not skimp on the meats/ toppings of any order! Well made fresh pizza. Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Great pizza. Love their lettuce-free antipasto. It's a small quaint restaurant. Service could be better but hey, will wait for good food.

Food is excellent , however their delivery sucks. Ordered a pizza and chicken parm hoagie at 610 pm on the slice app. Food went out for delivery at 715 pm . Received it ice cold at 803 pm. So a week later I tried again . 90 minutes later I got cold food again. If you want good food delivered cold then this is the place for you. read more

Was standing for them to take my order and it was like if no one was there so I just left. Poor customer service

Always a great and authentic Italian food- a gift to Hazleton and reminiscent of the city's heritage and cuisine!

Ok... So typically I do reviews when I travel but it never occurs to me that people may be traveling to my home town and would be looking for food options. I will follow the same criteria that I do for my other reviews (keep it consistent) Parking is free on-street parking but with enough available spots to accommodate the small dining area. The main dining area is "cozy" and homey feeling with about 7-10 tables and depending when you go it may be tight. Service: honestly it depends when you go. I've been happy with it at times and other times it has been SOOO bad that I've have boycotted for long periods of time (years in fact). Service is a HUGE part of my dining experience and I would say it trumps the food in most cases. DATE: 09/28 @1830 family went in for a kids spaghetti with meatball (princess), an adult capellini in red sauce (wifey), and the Pesci Cilentana ($16.75 Mussels, Shrimp, Clams Served in a Spicy Tomato Sauce) 45 minutes we waited for a dish I normally get in under 20 minutes. Pasta on all of our dishes were not drained thoroughly and sat in the soupy red sauce (see photo). In addition to sitting in a plate of water, no flavor and no heat in my Pesci Cilentana and the seafood was still cold (watched them try and pull apart frozen muscles in the back ) Owner, Neil, came out and said that he tried to drain the pasta but I was rushing him (at 35 minutes I did go up to the counter to ask for a status or ETA ). He then offered 3 free cannoli as a token. I passed (on a diet) I will keep this here until my new boycott of Alta is lifted and I update with that experience read more

This pizza parlor was my back up to my back up and it failed terribly! I ordered a Half black olives and sausage, and a half onion pizza what I was delivered was a half black olive , and half horrible onion. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone when I called, they told me I was wrong so here's the picture of my pizza read more

Order from Alta 10 minutes to 5 pm they said 40 to 45 minutes ,10 minutes to 6 we called back she said it will be there in 10 to 15 minutes it got here at 25 minutes after , the antipasto was in a bag with the garlic knots hen I opened it the dressing was all over the bag and the antipasto was half dumped out so I called back she said the dressing is in a separate container there was no container so they sent me another antipasto no dressing and it was almost as bad as the first needless to say we threw them away . O by the way they put they put balsamic vinegar when we asked for Italian read more

Great place to have a great homemade Italian meal. All quality ingredients, no short cuts there! It is family owned and operated. You feel like family and are treated as such. They have everything from fettuccine Alfredo, seafood dishes and pasta, Italian and American antipasto, to name a few. The take out items are amazing from the stromboli to the many different pizzas offered. The portions are insane. Definitely have for the next day. Don't forget the tirimissu or cannoli. Definitely a place to go and a delicious meal to look forward to. Only advice is, come hungry! BYOB love it! read more

Amazing food! Never had Italian food like this before! Real Italian food by real Italians! Amazing pizza, amazing soup, amazing everything! and super friendly staff! read more

This has got to be the worst place on earth to eat. I ordered a California Cheese Burger to go. When I arrived there to pick it up here is what I witnessed: The door didn't stay closed and the cold air was blowing in. The walls were very dirty. I witnessed a cook drop a piece of what looked like a chicken finger on the floor and then continued to cook it. When I finally got my California Cheese Burger it came on a steak roll, it was so bland and greasy I only ate two bites. Everything is way over priced, bland and disgusting. I will never come back to this place. read more

Was staying in Hazleton for a wedding; my family was exhausted from driving and decided to order in to our hotel. When we originally called to place our order we asked for a turkey sub which was listed on their website menu and was informed they no longer serve turkey. We then said we would call back.... After reevaluating the menu we called back and asked for the Garden Chicken Patty sub and the person on the phone wasn't sure what it was then said they don't have chicken patties but could make a sub with chicken tenders instead. How do you not know an item on your own menu? Or advertise an item you do not have? We took the chicken tender sub instead along with other things including an order of fries. The food took an hour and 5 minutes to get delivered! The fries were cold and soggy, the chicken tender sub was very dry and the pasta was runny. If we ever travelled back to the area we would not consider this as a food option. read more

Excellent authentic Italian food. Pasta dinners are delicious. Wait time may be a little slow but well worth the wait!!!! Owners are very friendly and will go above and beyond. read more

They don't have these kinds of Italian shops where I live, so when visiting enjoy thin crust pizza and antipast salad. Sorry to say, this place needs to get their act together! Called for takeout and was told 30 minutes. The woman never took my name nor gave me a number. I show up 45 minutes later and it was clear they were disorganized. The restaurant was also questionably sanitary - is it common to store food products in a booth? It didn't take long to learn they lost my order. Then, I was told by the counter, "Why didn't I just order the special - it would've been cheaper." Now you tell me??!! Are you kidding me?! How about you honor the special pricing - or better yet, have told me when I called in the first place. If my family and I weren't starving I would've just walked out. 1 star for the food (which was decent, thankfully). 0 stars for everything else - especially the customer service. read more

The service is the worst. Don't ever call for a delivery you will wait for over an hour when they said it would be 30 minutes. I called to check on the order and they hung up on me. read more

Ordered a simple meal 2 orders of chicken fingers, a pasta dish and fried dough... with ordering delivery we excuse the wait for food, the chicken fingers were cold and they forgot the fried dough. Looking at the menu that dough was the thing I was most excited for because let's face it with covid it's not like you have the chance to get fried dough at a picnic. By the time the food got here and we could go threw everything the store was closed. It was just disappointing read more

Great pizza and it does take time for them to cook the food but the wait is well worth it if you want fast pizza go to dominoes or pizza Hut if you want quality go to altas read more

I have been ordering from altas since I was young and never had an issue. Tonight we placed a simple order for a turkey hoagie with just lettuce and mayo and an order of hot wings. Once the food was delivered, the turkey hoagie that was supposed to be quite simple ended up with onions, banana peppers, Italian dressing, oil and vinegar AND mayo. Not sure how all these other ingredients ended up on a very simple order but it was the most disgusting hoagie I've ever had. I took a few bites and had to stop. The hot wings order included 2 RAW Wings!! so not only was the hoagie completely messed up and not edible but now there's a risk of sickness from raw chicken wings. I don't know what happened to this place but I will never order from here again. Couldn't even call to complain because the food got here right as they closed. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

This place is fantastic. The very friendly owner, Neal, gave me a tour of the kitchen, and it was immaculate. The ziti was very rich and flavorful. Portions were very generous. The chicken francese was delicious and the wine sauce was one of the best I have ever eaten. I look forward to my next visit to Alta! read more

I miss Alta! I used to go there all the time when I lived in PA. I miss good Italian food like this! We just dont have it in CA!

AMAZING !!! Get the fried eggplant and espresso. You will go to Italian heaven. Neil is the best Italian chef in Hazleton. Everything is delicious. From the thinly sliced meats, to the cheeses, to the chicken. Never a bad meal. read more

Disappointing. It seems this business can not handle a busy Friday or Saturday night. Twice I waited now after calling ahead. They tell you a certain time on the phone and then I must wait another 30-40 minutes after I arrive. This time the pizza was under cooked. Clearly their quality slips when they are busy. Kitchens areas are not very clean. Alta you are officially on the blacklist. read more

Horrible experience. Service was terrible - server actually forgot to bring our drinks until meal arrived - and food was terrible. Dining room and kitchen dirty. Will never return. read more

Very tasty homestyle dishes. The portions are huge! So I would advise either split an entree or go doggybag so as not to waste any. I like how the cooking style is south western Italy. The authentic seafood dishes have a soupy mix of deliciousness from the moisture provided by the seafood shells. Bravo! read more

Good evening yelperz! Hehe. Jenny here. Fall is in the air, my feiends. You know what that means???? Nice old Mrs Kishbaugh from the helzlton heights will need a lot of help rakijng leaves, and I help that poor soul out evry year for xtra cash. So I dropped linzey off at dance and raked for four hours people! Boy was I ever famished! Mrs kishbaugh said right up the street, good Italian food, I says sign me up and went right up to altas restaurant. Short and sweet yelpers, pathetic!!!!!! I ordered a chicken stromboli and eaied three hours for it! Heavens to betsina! Alls I got was a sreomboli and a farmers iced tea!! Three hours in a dumpy old Italian basement with seventy year old xmas decorations. I felt like I was in a reject bargain outlet nit a pizza joint. Christ. The old man was talkin shit too cept you couldn't understand it cause it was in Italian. He was a cute old grampy, but my god he had a hot temper. Finally I get my crummy food and whaddya no, linzeys been waiting for me for an hour and a half and mrs kishbaugh got tired waiting for me so she raked the rest of the yard and the poor frail thing fell and had to be flown to the hospital!!! Now cmon altas!!!! If that's not bad enuff, the stromboli had chicken bones in it. Bleckkkkk!!!!! Yucko! A dump. Gina I will be calling you tonight to fill ya in if you didnt read this already. Mood equals shocked as the kiddies would say. What a terrible experience that I will never stop having nigbtmares about!!!!!! read more

I never really go here to eat, but got takeout or delivery all the time when I lived in Hazleton. Their cheesesteaks are delicious, and they make one of the best pizzas in the area. The salads are huge and delicious, and the prices are pretty good. All the pasta dishes are good, but the pizza is always a sure thing. read more

Pizza was good but it did take more than 1 hr to get 4 lg pizza for pickup ... I work in a restaurant and 4 pizza take normally 15-20 mins max not no 1 hr ... Busy o no busy no excuse ! read more

The food is decent, but their customer service sucks. They also can't be on time to save their lives. Our company ordered a lot of pizza to feed most of the employees. We called over an hour ahead for deliver at 12:30. They were 40 minutes late. They were called three times, and all three times we were told their driver had just left. Then they started hanging up on us. Our office is a mile away from them. The pizza that did come was cold. The toppings were burnt. They are not pleasant and the food isn't what it used to be. read more

First time ordering from Alta Pizzeria tonight....OMG Soooooooo good! Ordered pizza with multiple toppings, and that pizza was delicious !!! Definitely did not skimp on the extras! Looking forward to ordering again really soon ! We are stuffed!!!! Very pleased! read more

Best Italian food in Hazleton hands down. Try the Manicotti or Braciole. The Italian Antipasto is fantastic as well. Service is friendly, pretty much family member. read more

Absolutely the best! Drove over 40 minutes to visit this restaurant and we will certainly be back. The owners are wonderful people and the food is delicious. Service is fast, portions are huge. Friendly, wonderful ,and BYOB. Even tried their Francesca pizza. It was named after their daughter and it was to die for. The crust is so fresh, thin and yet crispy. Perfect. Cannot wait to go back! read more
