    Amazing pizza! Very friendly! Parking is very tight. For the business they get they should figure something out.

    Italian Antipasto with a few bites taken.

    Great food and service, nice folks. Stopped in on my way to the airport and not being from here it was a gamble that paid off. Had a great antipasto salad delivered with friendly attentive service.

    The double stuffed white pizza is fantastic! The tray of red is very good, too! Lastly, the meatball and sausage platter is great.

    Had my baby shower here was excellent we had chicken marsala, white wine, chicken, meatballs, sausage and peppers, and tomato garlic pizza. The tomato garlic pizza is unlike any other in this area. I am more of a Sicilian New York type of pizza person. I enjoy Classic New York pizza so in this area it is mainly old Forge but this pizza is flavored so well it makes you forget that it is old Forge pizza. The tomatoes are cut enough so that you can take a bite of the pizza and the tomato doesn't fall off the pizza Has also flavored very well. We had an excellent service. They even went out of their way to bring their own decorations. The regular pizza is also good. I think they might put very small minced onions in the sauce which adds to it being almost like a fried pizza even though it's still old forage it's almost like hybrid. I haven't tried any other other pizzas besides the regular and the tomato, but you can't go wrong with either one of them.

    8 piece Red. YUMMMMM!!!!!

    Random find, working a project nearby. So authentic inside, feels like 'Merica to me. Staff super friendly, and great pricing. Obviuosly a local favorite been there since 1981. As I was leaving a funeral party came in and it was obviuos this was a community establishment. Now for the Pizza...without a doubt the best Old Forge style I have had, and I have had many! Nirmally old forge is about the sauce and cheesebut the dough and crust were very good. Ill be back!!

    Excellent, excellent, excellent. I asked Yelp for a top rated restaurant near the AVP airport and it paid off. Starting with great service from a friendly young lady who took my order promptly, got my beer, kept my water refilled, brought my dinner with a smile and made sure that my check was presented and returned quickly. I ordered the antipasto to start and I specifically asked for the small one. What arrived was enough food for three. And no, not all lettuce. There was more "stuff" on here than filler. sliced boiled eggs, beets, cheese, probably a half pound of sliced ham, cucumber, just a whole lot here. Main course arrived with a flourish. A huge bowl of rigatoni noodles in a marinara sauce with two large meatballs. It needed the cheese from the shaker of parmesan, but that was easy enough. I also added just a little bit of red pepper flakes. But that's just me. The sauce was nice and rich, the meatballs were tender and held together well, the noodles were just the perfect al dente. And so much of it. When the check arrived, I was a little surprised at the price. All this for $22.50? Wow!

    Ever since the new owners came in this place has been dynamite. My fiancée and I cannot resist…read moretheir buffalo wing pizza. We come from Nj often to visit family and this is our must stop every single time. They have a few staples in my eyes. The sweet sauce isn't too sweet and hits just right! Their uncle guys is a slightly thicker dough, with a great sauce to cheese ratio. Their buffalo wing is just incredible, it's even better on the square. It truly shows how the new owners really care about this spot, they take pride in their pies! I know a lot of people in the area stick to their normal spots but I really think this is a true gem!!

    Welcome to Friday night pizza night everyone, today we are visiting "That Guy with The Dough". I…read moreheard, I should have said read good reviews on this place, so I decided it's time to check it out. It's more of a takeout place but they do have two tables set up if you want to have it there. Today's pizza is basic and right to the point, a patron behind me told me after asking what the popular choice it's their sweet sauce pizza was, so that's what I got. Now sitting there, I noticed they do a good amount of take out. I also saw the same door dash guy a few times. Now, how was my pizza you ask? This came out nice and hot, the crust was nice and crisp, the sweet sauce was amazing. I do want to add the employees were very nice being my first time ever here. I do recommend everyone to try this place out. Until next video, be blessed and stay safe.

    As Old Forge proclaims itself as "pizza capital of the world" for it's unique tray style of square…read morepizza, I made it a point to try it out when in the Scranton area, and I chose Mary Lou's Pizza due to the positive reviews online. Unlike some of the other well known pizza spots in Old Forge, they are open for lunch and also have an indoor dining area. I ordered in advance since pizzas take a while to cook, and was ready right on time when promised. The lady that answered the phone was really pleasant in taking my order and answering questions I had, and also made it a point to chat with us when we came in. I appreciated the genuinely friendly conversation and her checking in to ask how the pizza was after we tried it. The interior seating area is cozy, clean, and modern, with tasteful pictures of Italy's landmarks on the wall. We went with a tray of the red, which is the standard pizza with cheese and red tomato sauce. While it looks like a Sicilian slice, it's feel is airy and much lighter, with a great crunchy crust. While the sauce and cheese were decent enough, they didn't measure up to the quality I'm spoiled with in the New Jersey/Philadelphia areas. The crust was really the star of the show, and gave vibes of a unique taste akin to a French bread and/or Ellios pizza crust the way they used to make it decades ago. While it wouldn't be in my wheelhouse for a style of pizza I'd regularly get, we were satisfied with the taste of the pizza and the overall experience. Since I haven't tried any of the other Old Forge pizzas and have nothing to compare it to, I'll chalk the pizza up to a 4.5/5 for its own unique special style, and am happy to round up for the satisfying experience and friendly service. I'd recommend giving Mary Lou's Pizza a try to others looking to experience Old Forge pizza.

    A nice history. We tried the "Old Forge" style pizza- meh. It's like focaccia bread with red sauce…read moreand cheese on top. It had a good crisp. Maybe a nice snack with a glass of wine or part of an aperitivo- but we definitely prefer thin crust, round pizza. We did buy Mary Lou's homemade fettuccine for later. Meravigliosa!! The server was kind and accommodating. We even got to meet Mary Lou! Worth a stop for sure.
