I didn't like the previous pizzeria, but willing to try the new owners pizza. The regular pie and Sicilian were very good the first time, it was fresh. The second time it was different, the Sicilian dough was dry. Same problem with all the pizzerias around here, they are inconsistent. I will give them another try. read more

(I wrote this in a private Facebook group first) So, as most of you know, I was going to review the old Amadeos pizzeria, which is now Pocono Pines pizzeria and restaurant. Well, here's my experience. (Aside from this experience, I did go once before just for a slice; wasn't that amused with the staff, but the pizza was decent.) Me: Hello, can I place an order for pickup? Clerk: Sure, what would you like? Me: I'd like a large half pepperoni and cheese, and a large vodka sauce pizza. Clerk: Okay, that will be $43. It will be ready in 20 minutes. Me: Okay, see you soon. I walk into the restaurant. Me: Hello, I ordered the 2 pies. Clerk: Okay, that will be $43. Are you paying with cash or card? Me: Card. Clerk: Okay, here is your receipt. The pizza will be right out. Me: (stands around for another 10 minutes) Clerk: Here's your pizza. Have a good day. Me: Thank you. As I walk away with the pizza, I'm thinking to myself that they are very heavy. I walk to the car and open them up, and what was supposed to be the vodka sauce pizza was a white vodka sauce with fried chicken and penne pasta. So, I head back in to get this fixed. Me: Hello, this isn't what I ordered. There's chicken and penne on this pizza; I just wanted a vodka sauce pizza. Clerk: Okay, sorry about that. I'll see what they can do about this. Me: Thank you so much. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Clerk: Do you want them to just pick the chicken and pasta off the pizza? Me: Um, no. That would completely butcher the pizza ‍. Clerk: Okay, um, do you want a new pizza? Me: No, it's okay. I'll just take a refund. Clerk: Okay, let me talk to the manager. Manger says he can't give you a refund. Me: yes he has to or I will be calling my bank and making this a fraudulent charge. Clerk:I'll be right back Manager: I CAN'T GIVE YOU A REFUND. THAT'S $24 THAT I HAVE TO GIVE YOU. EVERYONE IS MAKING $24, AND NOW I HAVE TO GIVE YOU MONEY. HOW DID YOU PLACE THE ORDER, PHONE OR ONLINE? Me: Over the phone, and yes, you owe me $24 because that is not what I ordered, and I'm not walking away with the pizza. I want a refund. Manager: (huffs, yells at the clerk, and tells her that she put the order in wrong) Tells her to refund me. Clerk: Here is your refund. Would you like a receipt? Me: Oh yes, indeed. I come home with just the one half pepperoni and cheese. It's a thicker pizza than the slice I had one month prior. The bread was doughy, and the cheese was meh. There was a little bit of good flavor in the sauce though. Curious to know what kind of ingredients they are using since they can't afford to give me a refund and questioning the freshness of those ingredients. It's safe to say, I don't need to go back there and I'll keep my business with AJs. read more

Hello all, just wanted to make a Post that I'm no longer at Pocono pizza pines pizzeria formerly amadeos. I have discovered really bad health conditions such as mice droppings and alive rodents in the kitchen. Some of the pasta boxes have been chewed up and the owner doesn't seem to care. I have brought to his attention and is unfazed. If you want to continue eating here it's your choice but after finding mice droppings and looking at how the staff touched money then went right to food. The cooks go from smoking cigarettes to touching the pizza dough. And he blows into the dough to get below it. I walked out after seeing the disgust. The owner is so focused just on making $$ and not worried about quality. It's sad to post this but the owner does not care or seem to care. Sorry for the past deliveries that were cold and not delivered. Being the only solo delivery guy it's hard, I'm working in a new restaurant in mount Pocono that delivers and would be willing to deliver to arrowhead. You would just need to ask for Michael. Other than that I have a photo of the mice dropping in pasta then the owner threw away the evidence. Just want to bring this to the public's attention. If you don't know the sign still says Amadeos Pizza & Deli and the owner is always crying broke. The lake Naomi president came in a week ago and told the owner that the prices don't match the menus. And he said "go elsewhere". Sad to see such a new business go downhill fast. read more

Amadeos Pizza & Deli - Mice droppings in the pasta - Pizza Near Me - Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania

First time here. We are trying all of the pizza places around us in the Poconos. Tried to order online but it was down so I called. Looking at the online I was happy to see they offered different cook on their pizzas. Husband ordered thin well cooked pepperoni and I ordered white with tomatoes. Both were great! The white had a bottom layer of ricotta and layer of mozzarella. The store is clean and has seating. The cases had bread, cold cuts and gorgeous desserts. The service was good. We have leftovers!! read more

Stopped by for a few slices while driving around Lakes for an overnight trip. The young lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. I ordered a slice of vegi and a slice of meat lovers. It was very good!! Hot, crispy and had a good chew to it. I never order vegi pizza... but the plethora of visually fresh vegetables baked nicely into the pie made my mouth crave a healthy crunch. The menu has items on it that I was interested in trying another time. It's not just pizza on the menu!!! So I imagine there is something good for everyone here. I saw alot of people taking out STACkS of pizzas from this place. read more

Amadeos Pizza & Deli - Meat and Veggie Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania

Pizza is pretty good. The crust is thin and NY style. The seeded bread is awesome! They get it from NY so you won't be disappointed. I have eaten here before and the garlic knots and the sandwiches are really good. read more

For a while i lived nearby and this was my go to place for a quick bite to eat. The environment is very classic and nostalgic and the food is good, and the penne pasta with butter is surprisingly delectable. I used to sit and eat here all the time and admire this one poster on the wall that was fruit made to look like animals. read more

Pretty nice place!! Went here and got pizza. The taste was pretty good! They have a HUGE menu too! Stop in and get some good pizza! read more

Amadeos Pizza & Deli - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania

See all

The pizza man with a bald head is coughing in open air. While he is flipping the dough of the pizza. He is yelling to someone in the kitchen using curse words. The dining room is very heavy and full of people waiting for orders. The guy at the register I give him a blessing to deal with these angry customers. I give the poor rating because of the pizza man who is dirty and sick around food. read more

Pizza is good for Pa. They do make really good sandwiches and subs. We have also tried the pastries which were good. We have not tried the dinners read more

Been coming here fur years pizza is delicious subs are delicious desserts homemade macaroni salad and cheesesteaks and the Rueben sandwich all which I had are always delicious and always great food and service and the Sicilian pizza is also delicious read more

So annoyed :( we ordered 3 pizzas, 2 veggie and 1 meat. The one veggie was completely inedible, it was literally wet and I'm not sure how?? It's like it wasn't cooked at all, but the other 2 pizzas were! So I'd say if you eat here, make sure you specify to cook the crust all the way through..no one wants wet inedible pizza!!!!! Especially with their prices...$40+ for less than average pizza. Maybe they were just really busy, but definitely a bummer experience. read more

Amadeos Pizza & Deli - Wet saturated crust...bleh, cooked pizzas shouldn't bend like this!! - Pizza Near Me - Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania

First time ever actually writing a review! Today was my 3rd time going and the rules they have are super silly and don't make customers welcomed. Yesterday I was being ignored because I was on my phone and they refused to take my order until I put my phone down. I went today and was told I couldn't bring my soda in (which I purchased there yesterday and was half way) so I left. The staff is not friendly at all. Drive somewhere else instead! read more

Worst pizza shop I've ever been to, picked up the Stromboli it was raw inside. When I called and spoke to the owner, she gave me a hard time telling me it's impossible. They've never had one come back. Rall told her there's first she told me to bring it back so she could physically look at it. I told her I was 25 minutes away. That was not happening, but feel free to come pick it up. She told me that would not happen.. after giving me a hard time I told her not to worry I would call the credit card company and have a disputed. She said I'm not allowed to do that. I said, watch me and she hung up on me. This woman has no people skills whatsoever.. it's not worth the money or the aggravation too many other excellent pizza shops in the area read more

Ordered two pizzas, meatballs, and garlic knots. Tasted great! Everyone enjoyed it. Great food for our family feast - we will be back,

We have come to this establishment over the years and I never had the urge to write a review until now. Let me start with the pizza: We would come here for lunch with the kids and really did not have anything more than a 5/10 expectation for the food. That is exactly what you will get here. Absolutely nothing to write home about. Very average pizza with minimal flavor. It served it purpose for a quick bite and move on to the fun of the Poconos. Ambiance: Over the years it has been dingy, dirty, and basically a place you'd like to take something to go. The window sills are filled with old flies and cobwebs. Currently they have closed their sitting area as well due to Covid and lack of employees. They also make sure to let you know that by telling you this in rude manner even if you simply walk in to order a slice to go. Customer Service: This is where I needed to step in a write the review. There has been a trend here. Every time I walk in to place an order I am met with eye rolls, attitude, rudeness, and snide comments from specifically the owner. This is not a one-time thing. It is strange that I am made to feel uncomfortable to simply place an order. Also, my wife asked for a few forks to go since they closed the dining area and we have small children than needed them, we were told they don't give out free utensils. Pretty strange that a business wouldn't account for some basic to-go supplies as a business expense when they closed their dining area. Bottom line: I would hard pass on this and order anywhere else. I will not be going back because I don't need an attitude problem for some subpar food in the Poconos. There are a lot of other places to turn fortunately for me. Tip to the owner: Smile, breathe, either be all-in or close down. You need customers to survive so don't be rude to everyone for no reason. Clean the tables outside and provide a better seating area outside if you cant open your dining area. It seems you have given up and lost your passion. Read other online reviews. I am not the only one feeling the rudeness or tension. It simply isn't needed or wanted. read more

Great tomato pizza, decent price and surprising find for the location. The poppers are tiny for the price so I would not get those again.

Really good homemade meatballs and a very reasonable price for a side dish. The eggplant parmesan with spaghetti is delicious. I really like the stuffed shells, also. Overall great and the prices are truly reasonable. You won't be disappointed. read more

good pizza, but really bad vibe. everywhere you look there js a sign scolding you. we would have walked out but pizza isnt that bad.try not to look around at the filthy atmosphere and you should get be ok read more

Great quality pizza in the Pocono area! The pepperoni pizza had a lot of pepperoni and was very good. The crust is thin, salty and chewy and the sauce is sweet. read more

Pizza was very good. Friendly staff. We will definitely be back when we are visiting the Poconos!

The absolute best pizza in the area. The staff isn't always so friendly. The lady behind the counter acts like she's doing me a favor just to warm up a slice. But who cares about good customer service when I can eat pizza that reminds me of my childhood. There dinners are great too, a perfect chicken Francese. Sandwiches, cookies. They have everything. Well, not everything. Wish they would spring for a liquor license. A nice cold beer along with Amadeos's chicken parm. That would hit the spot. read more

We went there when we were skiing at Montage. The broccoli pizza with out sauce is OK. I had the cheesesteak. The bread was REALLY crispy.

Excellent subs! We recently bought a place in the area and we've been to Amadeos twice in the past week! Their eggplant parm is one of the best I've ever had, and their subs are big enough to be enough food for 2 if you get fries or a salad. Their chicken parm subs are also delicious, as are their meatball subs (can you tell we're into subs??)! I keep a menu at the house as well as in the car for when we're hangry after running errands! I'm a fan! read more

I got the RBS- wow don't put too much roast beef on the sandwich! This isn't a one time mistake either as nearly all of the sandwiches we got were small- only the chicken cesar wrap and Super Italian sandwiches were good... read more

We go here all the time. Reliably good pizza and fast, friendly service. Is it the best pizza ever? No, but it's solid and gluten free friends rave about that option. Garlic knots are tasty. We've enjoyed the hot sandwiches like chicken and eggplant Parmesan as well. I never like slices that are reheated and as this place does not do super volume all the time, so opt for a whole pie for better pizza. Desserts look good, but we have not purchased. read more

Food is mediocre for its price, the customer service was terrible. I understand some people have bad days but i've worked multiple retail jobs and know it's not hard to be nice to people. The small woman behind the counter was so rude from the moment I walked in. I have never felt more unwelcome in a place than now. read more

I always order on line at least once or twice a week, so I just placed my order and it didn't go through ok fair is fair but whoever was in the background when the girl asked him and he said "Who is it for O'Neill?" And she said yes and he very rudely said "Well it must be on her end we never got it " Well if you never got it how do you know my name first off and secondly I was charged twice not once! Thank You but I really don't appreciate being spoken to like a freaking kid..... I am out read more

Staff was very rude. Food was tasteless. I wouldn't recommend this place. We asked for Buffalo sauce on the side for our wings and we were given literal oil. We ordered on the phone with someone rude and picked up our food from someone rude. The place doesn't offer napkins, paper plates or utensils. read more

Meh. The pizza was only okay. The service was lackluster. Young kids behind the counter whose priority is not the customers. On the upside, Great location& fairly clean. read more

You have earned one extra star because the breakfast wrap was pretty good. However, it would've been much better if it contained the homefries that I ordered in it (which were an extra dollar, by the way). Also, you charge for to-go sauce containers? Really? You could boost revenue so much more by providing friendly customer service instead of nickel-and-diming your customers. Don't think I'd come here again. read more

So I gave it another go. And it was good. So much better than last time. Less cheese and cooked a little longer must have done the trick. Happier and happy customers return. read more

We stopped and ate here because we never come up that way Well we will never be back. April 15th my husband had a Stromboli which he liked but I asked for a cheese steak and cheese fries and I got chili cheese fries that my husband had to eat because I can't have chili. The cheesesteak ugh the roll was rock hard and it was a very little amount of steak and no sauce. No one came to the table we had to go up to order and there's no waitress. What a horrible experience. read more

How much does ketchup cost? I thought it was basically a cheap condiment. The way they water it down, here. You would think it is priced like caviar. Can't stand cheap people. Save on condiments, costs you paying customers. I must have studied under an idiot professor @ Ruygers University. Obviously these people studied somewhere more impressive. Like grammar school, and did not graduate. read more

I was passing through with hopes of picking up a quick lunch. Unfortunately, this was the first time ever there. I asked for a menu as there were no menus to go. Not even one on the wall. I was told the menu was online. Just ordered a slice to go. It was tasty. Probably won't go back. Not very welcoming. read more

If you're going in without cash, beware their minimum. They're not kidding! I spent $38 & change on food and forgot 2 sodas. They wouldn't check me out. I was pointed to the signage and told there were no exceptions. Wound up needing to buy some cold cut ham to meet the minimum, despite spending bank on all the food I ordered. To top it off, they don't provide bags for drinks & cold cuts, only hot food apparently. The cashier ran off to answer the phone while I struggled to balance my chicken parm sub, spaghetti marinara and 3 bottles of soda on top of my pizza (FYI I'd bought 6 other small kid drinks which brought me to the $38 +--and now $47-total). I must have looked ridiculous leaving the place, but I was not amused. read more

The pizza and sandwiches are not our favorite, but their selection of bagels and bakery items is not just impressive for the area, it's well worth going for that alone. The staff is generally friendly. read more

Best pizza in the poconos!! My yearly trip is not complete without a slice from Amadeos. Consistently good, year after year- have never had a bad experience. Perfect amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings. Their subs are delicious as well! read more

Legit great pizza pie and hero sandwiches. Read some comments couldn't disagree more. I'm guessing the "New Yorkers" who don't think this stacks up prolly think Famous Rays is good. read more

The sad thing is that the locals throughout the Poconos think they have good pizza. I have yet to find it. The pizza was average with what seemed to be frozen veggies weighing it down. Additionally the atmosphere is such that it feels like your alone in a bad way. There's too much space as if it were a bustling place at one time and now it's a shell. read more
