But while its downtown looks like a lot of other Main Street districts, Old Forge is more than just another small Pennsylvania town. It’s the pizza capital of the world.

That’s a bold claim, of course. But Old Forge has a mom-and-pop pizza joint around every corner and a special way of doing their thing — one that residents of Northeast PA will tell you is the best you’ll ever have.

Was in that area 30+ years ago with 4 Army friends. Ate pizza that looked exactly like the pix in the article. That trip still comes up in conversations and all of us still consider it to be the best we’ve ever had. FWIW

Do it!!!! You won’t regret it. As it stands, it takes me 2 hours to get in there….and I am 2 towns away. Although, Tolli’s in East Haven is a close 2nd followed by Modern Pizza on State St.

Everybody has their favorite pizza place.

And everybody has their favorite, such as New York style, Chicago deep.dish, and others I don’t know about.

This is a delicious discussion without resolution. Let’s all.have some pizza.
