I don't understand how this place doesn't have five stars. Is it kind of a hole in the wall? Yes. Does it have the best New York style pizza in the area? Yes. Is it fairly priced? Absolutely. This pizza has been consistently delicious for 40 years. The cheese, sauce, and crust balance is perfect. Chewy crust with a slight crisp. *chef's kiss* Don't miss this pie in your pizza rotation! read more

Stopped for a slice! Got a diet Coke and a slice. Added the grated cheese, pepper, and some oregano. Have not been by in a while, really good! read more

My local go-to pizza joint. Consistent, quality, and reasonably priced compared to other shops nearby.

I call to put a order for delivery at 8:10 pm. Give him my name, phone number and address. Nothing happen, I call 1 hr later, and the guy tell me (in a kind of funny stupid voice) " oh, but you never give me your address" seriously, if that was the problem you have my number, why not to call and ask. They just forgot about my order. But thanks, now I know where not to call read more

I love the California cheeseburger sub and cheesesteak! Their fries are really good too, and that's very important in my book.

Been coming here since I was a kid food is amazing even after change of ownership cheesesteaks are so good with the most freshly baked bread ...Must try GrandMa's Pizza!! You won't regret it read more

Best pizza outside of New York! I'm from NY and it's always a struggle to find pizza that meets my standards. This is by far the best pizza I've come across outside of NY and I travel all across the country. Friendly staff and fantastic food! read more

I didn't think it was possible to mess up pizza - I stand corrected. This place is a very small Italian spot nestled in the corner of a dying strip mall. I was told by a relative (years ago) that this was the spot to go to in Allentown for good Italian food. I walk in and immediately think I'm in a Star Wars cantina. The chic behind the counter looked like a Kamino embassador while the pizza-guys looked like Ugnaught laborers!!! I believe I was overcharged for garbage food that smelled like plastic. No need to go here. read more

I can't understand why this place has any bad reviews. It has been our go-to pizza spot for the past 9 years. The only down side is that they don't deliver! We're moving out of the area soon and Vesuvio's is one of the things we'll miss most about Allentown. read more

I always make sure to stop in here when I'm in Allentown visiting family. After going to NYC last year and trying a half dozen places, this is still my favorite NY style pizzeria! My mom and I got the Tuesday special: two large pizzas for take-out for $20, a nice deal! The owners were here tonight working and were really nice. Keep in mind, they won't let you eat your food in the dining room if you get the take-out special. read more

Horriable new owners not friendly food sucks they water down there pizza sauce no flavor not recommend unless u have no taste buds

Hot food was room temp, salad was warm, food was way late from estimate, and worst of all...the blond heavy set driver was likely the rudest person I have ever talked to that I gave 25% gratuity to in advance or not!!! I will NEVER pre tip anywhere again it was such an overall bad experience or likely order from this place ever again...(I have been on and off for OVER 20 years)....trust me I would almost prefer the premium brand dog food from Taco Bell then what I spent $30 on at this place this morning. (I work late hours). I threw my salad away because it was in the same bag (for god only knows how long) as the once hot food. HORRIBLE experience. I have ordered from here MANY times, I have never been impressed, but this time takes the cake for the worst experience for at least a year from ANYWHERE! read more

The pizza is the best! I always like stopping by and talking to the owner, his wife and son and the rest of the guys! Make sure you order the garlic knots with extra garlic! read more

Vesuvio's Restaurant & Pizza - Vesuvio's! - Pizza Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

See all

I have been going to Vesuvio's for 30 years. Excellent Pizza and stromboli (get The Works). Meatball parm Subs tasty too! Excellent Sauce!

Yum! Best pizza in the Lehigh Valley. Its very apparent they take pride in what they serve.

Yelp site says they accept credit cards and when I went in they told me cash only. The place was to dark it looked as if it was night time . Now the pizza was ok not the best I've had and the chicken wings were so small I thought they were from pigeons not only that they were overly sauces undercooked and two still had feathers.... read more

Vesuvios is nothing short of pure PIZZA bliss and excellence! This gem was in my back the whole 2 yrs I've lived here and just recently discovered Salvatore's Vesuvio. Meet the hard working crew and now I'm proud to call Vesuvios my pizzaria! 2 large pies-18.99 can't beat it and the quality is on point read more

Pizza was ok. Lacked flavor. Feels like the sauce needs a little something to bring it alive. Cheese was average. read more
