Home of the Famous Old Forge Pizza
Old Forge-style pizza has reinvented everything we know about pizza. What really throws us is the crust, which is thick, but amazingly light and airy. Top that with a generous amount of a special cheese blend and we’ve become converts. Half of the charm of Arcaro & Genell’s pizza, though, comes from its birthplace, Old Forge. Nestled in the southwest corner of Lackawanna County, the miners of this tiny town would leave late at night and go to the local taverns for some down time. There, the wives and daughters of the miners would make dough on baking pans and top it with tomatoes and spices from their gardens. This regional style of pizza is so popular that the city’s residents have dubbed Old Forge “The Pizza Capital of the World!”
