2. What is the worst?
3. any to avoid completely?

Give me four or five decent ones as well as the best and the worst.
I will report back with my findings! :-)

PS I did actuallty have a cut of Old Forge last summer, but it was in Wilkes-Barre, so technically, I am still an Old Forge Virgen.
Well?

Old Forge pizza IS highly overrated. Tastes like grilled cheese on dough. The fact that they call themselves the pizza capital of the world is an insult to real pizza cities all over the world.

oh, just a large percentage of Nepa...it's what they do, and have done...
When establishment owners/employees understand what their clientle is asking for they will always get their 'cut' and 'pan' and it should'nt be knocked or ridiculed.
It's about respecting traditions, it's also about supply and demand...businesses won't offer something they cant sell.

Those who have never heard of a 'cut' or 'pan'...go to a place that caters to your particular vocabulary...that's what this Country is all about.

Nope. If you depend on signs, business names, etc to determine the proper spelling of a word, you'll be led astray very often. there is no spelling test associated with applying for a business license. There is no such word as "pizzaria", it is pizzeria.

I'd have to go with my local favorites. Sorry Old Forge. The Times Leader has a new "Pizza Wars" page on thier web site, and on it, almost all of the Pizzeria's mentioned are "The Old Forge Classics" (Revello's, Arcaro and Genell's ect), and they are getting beaten badly by The Grotto, and Sabatini's. I like Sabatini's, but the Grotto? You might as well put sauce and cheese on a cardboard box and eat it.IMHO. And overcharge for it also! Anyway, I know everyone is tierd of pizza threads, but this Times Leader pizza contest has renewed my interest in this popular topic.
Only on this forum would I need to point to the OP ^ on a thread about pizza, and ask that we get back on topic. Cut, slice, who cares? It's the yummy goodness that makes a pizza, not how it's dished out. Is there really a BEST place?
