In town for work. I live in Cali and miss good pizza and Italian!! I studied all the reviews on yelp for 2 hours before coming over here. Pizza was amazing!! I ordered the antipasto appetizer/salad and will be enjoying it for the next couple days!! Pizzas are huge but they do have a personal pizza. Nice cozy restaurant with the East Coast feelz. Nice when the owner comes out to talk to you while you're waiting. My husband is going to be so jealous when I go home and tell him all about it. read more

This is definite 4 if you walk in and a 5 if you make reservations for.. Pizza is awesome, beautiful crust and awesome pastas and desserts a plus plus read more

Stopped here over the weekend on a ski trip with friends. Our friends highly recommended going here, based on a previous visit. As this was our first time here, we walked in, and it appeared at first to be a very casual, unassuming pizzeria. However, the food was fantastic, and the price was amazing for the portions! We had a number of pasta entrees, which fit our party of eight, including 4 big kids & 4 hungry adults. I would come back for the Frutti de Mare again .. . Generous portions of seafood! Great dinner option for groups and families. Parking out front or on the street. The only drawback is that there is only 1 toilet for the whole restaurant, so a small line formed waiting for the loo. Ed was a great server, really engaging! Will definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. read more

Way more than just a pizza place. The dinners are consistently amazing. Never had a bad dish here.

The pizza here is incredible. Let me start off by saying the Margherita Pizza here is sensational. The crust is the perfect texture and the sauce and cheese is perfect. Service is what takes this down a star unfortunately. This place seems like it could use an extra staff member so that people don't need to wait so long at each step of the process. Whether it was people waiting to be seated, customers waiting to pick up their order, or delivery drivers coming to pick up, service here seems less efficient than it could be. This may not matter to everyone and that's understandable. But service here is slow. But is it worth it to wait? Yes. read more

There's a reason why this is one of the best Italian Restaurants around a 50 mile radius. Reservations a must as there is limited seating for dinner. Friendly service and giant portions. You will not leave hungry! read more

With food allergies it is always hard to eat out. We were in the area looking at a college for my daughter, so decided to give this place a try on a Friday night. Unfortunately we did not have reservations because we weren't aware of how busy they would be . They did get us in and so glad they were able to. Between the wonderful staff, the very nice owner, and the amazing food it was so worth the little wait we had. We even went back the next day before we left to go back to NJ. This will definitely be our go to food place when we visit my daughter. read more

I absolutely love this place! It has so much to choose from (even tho I get the same buffalo chicken Stromboli, every time). The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. read more

This place really is "A little pizza heaven"!!! Been here for the first time for dinner and wow were we impressed! The food was authentic tasting and delicious especially the jambalaya penne. Pizza was thin and crispy, and salad was refreshing and tasty with the house dressing. The staff were attentive, kind and the owner is also very nice ! We don't live in the area but so glad that we stopped by. If you are in the area, stop by and check them out. Just make sure you make reservations since it does get busy on weekends. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered a Vodka sauce pizza with sausage. Hardly any sauce and in similar words from an old Wendy's commercial, Where's The Sausage?" oh it was there but hardly any. Stromboli was better than the pizza. read more

Everything is great at Little Pizza Heaven.. Owner is absolutely amazing and the cozy atmosphere

opened the box of plain personal pizza and was not impressed. but this pizza was surprisingly good. small restaurant. no slices for sale. got it to go. place was pretty full with people eating pasta ona wednesday. looks like huge portions. also looks like BYOB. would definitely get again. parking is kind of hard. prices were reasonable. nothing really negative except small place. not fancy. read more

It's so obvious that places pay to keep good reviews flowing on Google. The real reviews are always on yelp. I have eaten here 3 times in total & always forget how they are because the food is so bland and tasteless. Yes they give good portions. That's about the only good thing. But for the prices it should be decent and have flavor. I ordered chicken parm (how do you screw that up? Idk) it was tasteless and not worth the wait, the money or my time. I could have made a better chicken parm myself and saved money aswell. This place is gross. Everything I've ever tried was forgettable. Nothing special about this place at all. Skip this place & try another spot. Trust me you WILL regret giving this place a try.!! I'm starting to think all their 5 star reviews are mainly from elderly people with no taste buds& that throughly enjoy hospital food. read more

Headed back from a long road trip, I couldn't eat another fast food item or gas station snack. I searched on Yelp for a spot not too far off the highway and found this wonderful, local pizza joint. With so many great Yelp reviews, I figured we couldn't go wrong. Everything was DELICIOUS! The men working were super nice and friendly, and we called ahead to place an order. The pizza is thin, like a New York slices and was absolutely delicious. We got a large Margherita pizza and it was enough to feed about three adults (but let's be honest, the two of us finished it). It was huge, but because the slices were so thin, we were able to finish it off. We aren't quitters!!! I also got a house salad and it was truly one of my favorite salads I've ever had. It had incredibly fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and deliciously-seasoned croutons. Truly one of the best meals ever. Don't miss it! During COVID, they're allowing a few people at a time to dine in and don't have outdoor seating, so I'd recommend ordering to-go! read more

A Little Pizza Heaven - House Salad - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Quick service, friendly staff and the food was delicious! Hot and fresh as it should be. Side salads, Personal Pizza was good, garlic bread bites balls with sauce was my favorite! Restrooms were clean and fully stocked with essentials. Parking was available off street right in front of restaurant. I will revisit if I'm back in the area. We ordered take out afterwards to try their shrimp/ chicken/ sausage / pene pasta dish....OMG!!! The best!!! read more

A Little Pizza Heaven is hands down the best Italian place in Scranton. With limited tables, make sure you make a reservation, just in case. Four of us came in on Saturday evening and decided to skip appetizers since we know that most dishes at this place are way plentiful. I opted For Jambalaya Pasta (Penne topped with Cajun seasoned chicken, shrimp and sausage in a tomato cream sauce). It tasted great and is definitely a must-try! Lasagna was tasty as well. Scallops and Shrimp con Vino (Scallops and shrimp tossed in a sauce of lemon butter and wine sauce served over orzo) was absolutely amazing. Stuffed Shells with Sausage and Mushroom in Pumpkin Cream Sauce was also delicious. All of them came with salad. We all went for their house dressing, and it was good! You have two options of portion for almost every dish, either a small portion, if you plan to finish your meal at the restaurant, or a regular portion, if you plan to take some leftovers home. Three of us couldn't finish our entrées and had to take some home. We finished our meal with two cannolis, regular and pumpkin. They were absolutely delicious with just the perfect amount of sweetness. Oh, and BYOB makes this whole experience even better. read more

Don't even attempt this without a reservation. One table had a reservation card on it with a time of 6:30 - we were there at 7:30 and they wouldn't release the table. There was another table that needed to be cleared but we were told it would be 45 minutes to an hour even for take out. The owner needs to look into a reservation service - especially for Friday's and Saturday's. The kid at the door was pretty aloof about the whole thing. I guess there is enough local business to keep this place going. We were excited to check it out, but we won't attempt it again even with a reservation. Again- DON'T GO WITHOUT A RESERVATION. read more

Wow! Although I am not an easily impressed person (because I cook well myself and am very picky in my dining experiences) this pizzeria unexpectedly blew me away! When you pull up to this place l, the outside of the building and surroundings are NOTHING like the experiences inside! I was submerged into a little Italian family cuisine. We ordered a bunch of different chicken dinners, a large pizza, a large salmon salad, non-alcoholic drinks, and even deserts! The bill came up just a little over a hundred. The dishes were big, tasty, and cooked with love while using good quality products. Many pizza places (and pretty much all chain restaurants) use frozen prepared ahead meals/meats. This place was nothing like those other places. The food tasted better than pricey 5 star restaurants!! I was truly amazed, and really didn't expect to have such a high quality meal in Scranton PA! From now on. we will plan on stopping at this place when traveling. What a treat. Even the desert (warm, soft and huge brownie topped with tasty French vanilla Icecream) was divine . I don't even like brownies but this one I ate to the very last bite and had hard time sharing! LOL. ! The food and service at this place simply makes you happy. A Little Pizza Heaven...Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful service and delicious food. What a well managed family business. read more

Great pizza restored my faith! After several bad tries, this hit the mark! Not NY style, but good anyways!

After I moved from New York City to Scranton I was not looking forward to Italian food in Scranton, and some restaurants in Scranton really bummed me out. However, Little Pizza Heaven is special. The food is worth coming for, and it arrives hot to your table. The fall specials are truly incredible, and you won't find anything like them anywhere else in Scranton. This place is definitely worth a visit. read more

We stopped in Scranton for the day and I felt like pizza and read the reviews about this place. Best pizza I've had in a long long time! No brainer to hit up this little hidden gem! read more

This place is a GEM! The food was incredible! I had their fall special Tortellini with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce and it was spectacular! Husband had Jambalaya and reported it to be excellent! The portions were immense. But the real standout feature here was how wonderful the staff was. They greeted regulars by name and joked and laughed with everyone in there. It is clearly a well-loved spot! Definitely recommend trying it! read more

Delicious food and plenty of it! I was pleasantly surprised that they carried Chicken Saltimbocca on the menu. It's been years since I ate this dish! They did a wonderful job and the staff was very pleasant to talk to. read more

A Little Pizza Heaven - Restaurant interior - Italian Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

This is a great place to eat. My daughter and I have celiac and have to eat gluten free food. This restaurant carries a great deal of gluten free products and it is always delicious. The people who work there are also very nice and really care for the fact that we have an allergy. Cross contamination has never been a problem here. There are some days that you might want to call for reservations, but usually, we can get in with no problem. read more

We needed a place to have a celebration lunch for a family members college graduation. Darryl opened up early on a Saturday, so we could have our celebration. The food was amazing. Ed our server was AWESOME. I HIGHLY recommend A Little Pizza Heaven if you enjoy a great atmosphere and delicious Italian food. read more

Food is very good, and portions are always more then most can finish. Friendly staff, small interior so best to make a reservation.

Holy crap, are the food choices in Scranton that bad? How could this be one of the top rated place in Scranton. In town for work and figured I would try one of the top rated restaurants in Scranton. No A/C, so this tiny place is hot as hell. Waiter must have bumped into me five times while I was at my table. Chicken Saltimbocca was supposed to come with salad and garlic bread. Entree was delivered and I had not gotten either. I told the server and he brought me a salad right away but never the bread. Salad dressing was completely separated and oily. Chicken was ok but cheese was barely melted and prosciutto wasn't cooked at all. Menu didn't say it came with pasta so I thought the bed of pasta was a nice surprise. Pasta was over cooked and drowning in some kind of garlic cream sauce. Place was packed so people must like it. The pizzas looked really good but I was by myself so no pizza for me. I am assuming the high scores on Yelp must be for the pizza but I would stay away from the rest of them menu and get takeout instead of dining in. read more

Small neighborhood Italian restaurant. One of the best gluten free meals we've had. The portions were huge. Service was excellent. We enjoyed our dinner celebrating our Scranton University grad. We will definitely be back here. read more

Highly recommend this place! We are from New Jersey so my kids are spoiled when it comes to pizza. When we travel, they complain the pizza isn't as good. I didn't hear that tonight! We ordered the garlicky zeppoles, Caesar salad, a cheese pizza, a sausage/pepperoni pizza, fettuccine Alfredo w/ chicken and s'mores calzone. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. Ed, our server, was great. He told us when we ordered too much, recommended things, etc. The owner stopped by to talk too. It's fun to watch him flip toss the dough. Will definitely recommend and return... read more

My nephew goes to college near here and we went to visit him. Told him we'd take him out to eat wherever he wanted. He chose this place - right near school and he said it's one of his faves for Italian food. Was a bit disappointed with the lack of outdoor dining and it's a really tiny place, so had a wee bit of COVID anxiety eating inside as it did get much busier after we arrived. The decor isn't really much to speak of - but the food and service were really top notch and really friendly! The menu is HUGE. Maybe a bit too big as the choices are overwhelming. We had gnocchi with marinara, seafood manicotti, and lasagne. Each came with garlic bread and salad. Everything was fantastic and freshly made! We didn't try the pizza, but had fun watching the staff throw the dough in the air. generous portions and reasonable prices make it an amazing value. I can see why it's one of his favorites! The other thing I appreciated - you can get a smaller portion of pasta for about $3 less, which is great! read more

A Little Pizza Heaven was a home run, we were traveling through and wanted some delicious Italian food, and this restaurant hit the spot, their food was delicious, healthy portions, and good price for the meals, to top it off we had their absolutely delicious desserts like their famous S'Morzone and their Pizzette Tropicale, never heard of those desserts but boy what a treat!! They came warm and I had some ice cream on the side and it was heaven!! And the waitress was very friendly and excellen!! I would recommend A Little Pizza Heaven to anyone who wants excellent Italian food!! read more

Great tasting pizza We ordered the hot wing pizza and it was good . Tasted like NY style pizza and. Very good read more

This restaurant is amazing. I've been here many times in the past six years, but I wanted to do another review to reiterate how great it is. The food is absolutely fantastic, and the ambiance and service is even better. The owner is wonderful and accommodating, and the servers are all kind, funny and great to talk to. I went recently with a party of ten, and not only did they adjust times for us and our reservation, but they also took wonderful care of us. As someone who has Celiacs Disease, this is one of the very few places I trust to eat Gluten Free without fear of cross-contamination or lack of knowledge when it comes to the allergy. The team in this restaurant, the owner especially, works hard to make sure everyone has a safe and satisfying experience. I highly, highly recommend it, and as always, I will be back! read more

This was a great spot to stop on our roadtrip to pick up a large pizza.

Ok I have heard of this restaurant for a bit now. We tried it tonight. It was AMAZING!!! You wouldn't think it. The actual restaurant is a little dismal. Small, but so worth it. The menu has a great variety. Nice amount of seafood, pasta and chickens. I had the chicken franchise. I had 4 huge pieces of chicken covered completely and fully with an egg batter that wasn't soggy. The portion was so big, that we had to wrap up to take home. Fast service. Busy takeout. Devin our waiter was sweet, fast and attentive. I couldn't suggest this little secret more. You will be pleased. As for the Covid scared patrons. Felt so comfortable. Masks were required but while eating able to remove. Limited seating. Make Reservations. They took our first names and phone numbers just in case they would have to contact us. Hand sanitizer available. We will be back!! read more

Picked up a hero here and it was tasty - nice soft roll with good amount of ingredients.
