    Fun place. Pizza was good, not great (and there's a lot of great pizza in Old Forge, so we were a little disappointed). Steamers were fresh, beer good, crowd very entertaining (a lot of regulars, but welcoming). Service was very friendly. It's one of the few places open in Old Forge on Sunday. We're going to go back and try some pasta dishes, then will post another review..

    This place was in my Roadfood book, which usually doesn't let me down, but this time it did...... big time!!!! The pizza was not good at all. They put American cheese on it, which is supposed to be the area specialty or something, but it was really just gross. They've got Miller Chill though, so there's that at least.

    Over-rated by the locals, for sure!! Some sort of processed cheese on overly doughy crust- one bite was enough for me. I guess it's an aquired taste.

    I just had to write this because I can only imagine that the bad reviews were written by people that grew up eating Pizza Hut and thinking that Olive Garden was Italian food. This is the bar/cafe where every body knows your name (if you are from here). Sit in the front bar and appreciate the small town atmosphere of a local pizza place run by a family not a franchise. Old Forge style pizza is different that traditional "round" pizza. But if you are willing to try it, take a minute to really taste the crust which really was rolled by an old lady in the kitchen who has been doing this for years. The pizza is also lighter, less greasy than traditional pizza. I personally like Salerno's the best of the Old Forge pizza chains. I have taken many of out of state friends here and they all end up talking about it years later. So if you are looking for Dominoes, that is at the end of Main St in Old Forge, but you can get that anywhere.

    The red pizza was good . My sons pasta was overcooked as well as my fried shrimp . It was burnt and they still had the audacity to serve it. I asked for a refill for my unsweetened ice tea and they charged me for it .

    First, why doesn't Yelp show menus? Second, they should work a deal to cross reference Jane and Michael Sterns Road Food destinations. Now for the old Forge Style Pizza: it's great ! Try Tomato/Garlic!

    I loved the Old Forge style pizza. The white pizza was especially good. I thought overall it was a great value and worth the drive

    Your typical upstate, local, bar/restaurant ... except this is the one with the best old-forge style pizza. Both the red tray and the white stuffed trays are excellent. The white is my all time favorite of the area. Since i'm not local, i'm always making trips home with at least $75 worth of food. If I visit and dont bring my father home two orders of tripe, i'm in trouble. Although i dont eat tripe, i'm told theirs is the best. Always found the staff to be helpful and polite.

    Two tourists walk into the bar area on a Saturday evening. A lot of stares. I think the music may have stopped. It felt like we were ignored in the vicinity of the sign that said "please wait to be seated". We eventually were seated. It was all uphill from there. The waitress was very pleasant and helpful. We had never had old forge pizza before, we ordered the tomato/basil option and a house salad as an app. The pizza was fantastic!! wow... the pizza crust was a godsend. i think they use american cheese.... wow... highly recommended! Value was great, pizza was fantastic. "Yay! I'm a fan."

    solid pizza. not to die for, but solid (and so you will be too if you eat too much). It was open on a sunday. I would have gone to Elios (now Lou's). But, they did not pick up the phone. Happy with the alternative. You do get the eye as you walk in from the locals, but they folks at the bar helped with our pick up and carry out. they don't have take away drinks, but can provide ice and napkins to help eat on the road, if you are, for example, going to state college. Would definately go back. ask for a tray (not a pizza, you non-local), 12 slices per tray. it was $16.50. would feed 3-4. we liked it, so would feed three. realized that i have eaten in twice, I think. solid. bar-like, not fancy, but good food.

    It's pretty much half bar and half restaurant type area. My boyfriend and I entered from the bar side for lunch around 12:30 and it was SO dark. At first I thought it was just a bar but there was a restaurant area which was more lit in the back. When we got there there was no one in the restaurant area which seemed a little concerning. We order onion rings and 3 cuts of red pizza. The onion rings were very good. The pizza was okay. It's apparently a specific type of pizza for the area so I wasn't sure if I just didn't like the type or that specific one. It was pretty cheap though so there wasn't too much to complain about.

    Food good at times. Service slooooow. Windowsill filthy dirty which can easily fall into your food. Mens bathroom not appropriate for a child by himself NO LOCKS ON DOOR, NO DOOR ON STAUL, JUST CHEEP DIVIDER & MIRROR ANGLED TO SEE TOILET! !!!!! This was asked to be fixed several times, a simple latch inside of door and owners ignore request. If u bring your son here make sure noones in bathroom and stand by door guarding it not let anybody incase of Sickos and drunks!

    Their pizza is to die for! Very reasonably priced, awesome crust and generous toppings. I've had other meals here, but trust me, choose pizza.

    slow made me sick and had so much garlic that every vampire in the US would stay awaw from me for a week. The kids loved the honey dipped chicken

    Great pizza and potato pancakes. My husbands family take us here whenever we are in town. They have the best stick to the roof of your mouth kind of cheese on their pizzas.

    While I appreciate the pride that locals take in their idiosyncratic cuisine, the appeal of Old Forge style pizza is lost on me. The main distinction of "Old Forge style" is the chewy, unnatural cheese, the sort of thing usually found topping frozen supermarket pizza. ("Nardone Bros." frozen pizza is another local "delicacy" much extolled for reasons of nostalgia more than actual merit.) The pizza dough is bready and drier than most. The pizza at Salerno's is as good as any in Old Forge, it is not awful by any means. But it is an acquired taste that might be difficult to acquire. The place is quite busy and the prices are reasonable. Aside from pizza, the rest of the menu is run-of-the-mill Italian-esque. Worth a trip for the curious.

    This is the best "Old Forge" style pizza around. Seriously. I tried quiet a few other places during my years at a nearby college, but nothing ever came equal this. I can't judge their other foods, just the pizza. It has a crispy bottom, fluffy dough, perfect sauce and a wonderful combo of cheeses that makes it unbeatable. Also a plus, it's not very greasy like many other pizzas. I've moved from the area recently, and whenever we are visiting friends we always make it a point to go there. (It's secretly the highlight of visiting people that live nearby lol!) Edit: According to wikipedia the definition of "Old Forge Pizza" is: "This pizza is typically rectangular in shape with a balanced tangy sauce, and topped with a creamier cheese, similar to fontina or white American, on a crispy thicker crust. " Which is exactly what the review below didn't like, but the same thing that is served (and loved) by much of Northeast PA.

    Saw an employee cooking and smoking at the same time in the kitchen and have not been back since. As far as Old Forge pizza is concerned, it's below average, but not the worst.
