Way more than just pizza ! There were 4 of us so we had a chance to sample various things. The place itself is large and alive but the noise level is not overwhelming. The Crispy Wood-oven Duck Wings served on a Polenta Waffle with 5 spice was delicious as well as different. And speaking of different, how about a Mexican Street Corn Pizza with Cotija Cheese which was recommended by our fun and knowledgeable server Gavin. It was delicious. When Gnocchi was ordered he cautioned that it was not the usual take on this dish but a Roman Gnocchi made with semolina, egg, cheese and butter. The topping was unique and the total dish amazing. Both the Wood Oven Roasted Spanish Octopus with Castelvetrano Olives and Golden Raisins as well as Prime Pork Rib Chop Calabrese with Fried Onions and Charred Shishitos were both excellent. A place definitely to try. read more

We decided to stop by Scranton on the way to NY since my husband is a fan of the TV show Office. Browsing dinner options, Bar Pazzo looked promising. Though we were not able to get a table as a walk-in, we were able to sit at the bar. The service by our waiter was professional, yet friendly and attentive. We ordered one pizza and one pasta dish, and they were very good. Honestly everything looked good. I wish I could have tried more. I think this is going to be our go-to on the way to visit in-laws in New York. read more

They need to hire a new manager, the red head lady is rude and has no place in customer service! Had the waiter ask us to move because they needed the table after we waited half hour for a 2nd cocktail he was so embarrassed. Never again I will spend my money elsewhere read more

Came here for dinner on a weeknight. Good ambiance and good service! Our waiter Ryan was very accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great recommendations. We started with the charcuterie board (small) this was a great amount for the price. I also got the vodka rigatoni. The sauce was sweeter than I typically like my vodka sauce, that said it was still very good and the sweetness can be offset by the cheese. Overall enjoyed this restaurant and would check it out again. read more

Such a cute spot! We only stopped in for drinks, which were amazing, but I can't wait to go back to try their brick oven pizza! read more

After strolling into Scranton to NYC I felt hungry and ask chatgbt what places can I go to to in Scranton with this nice weather since the weather 70 degrees. Chatgbt suggested this place and did not disappoint. This place is amazing! We went on a Saturday and thought we had to pay the parking meter since in NYC you have to pay everyday lol but luckily we didn't. The food was amazing but most importantly the service was great! Emily was our server! Please ask for her shes such a great person and so attentive! We had the pepperoni pizza and the pasta bolognese omg so good!! For dessert try the gelato brown butter gelato and the chocolate espresso with oreos! This place serves authentic Italian food. I highly recommend! Enjoy! read more

I was able to get a last-minute reservation with no trouble. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The menu is flexible, with a great variety of vegetarian options. Would recommend Marguerite with jalapeños if you can tolerate the heat, and their cotija corn pizza The staff is very accommodating--I would highly recommend this place! read more

Ordered 2 pizzas to go near closing time....wasn't disappointed whatsoever. Some of the best pizza I've had in a while! As a wood fired pizza lover, this is a must go to place if you are in the area. read more

This place is so good! It will be hard to find a place to too this. From the moment we got there the staff were so welcoming and nice. The atmosphere is great for date night, family visiting out of town, a family special event, or a girls night out. The decorations are shabby chic/modern abstract. The food! The food! Worth every penny and bite. Hats off to the Chef who I would love to meet. The food was light, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. We will be looking forward to our next visit. Hubby always looking for the good and bad wanted to make sure I noted that although this location is amazing don't look up! He found it to need a good cleaning from dirt and dust above eye level. Eye level down super clean. read more

This place never disappoints. We walked in on a Wednesday late afternoon. Sat at the bar. Kaitlin was bartending and she was just a delight. So welcoming and accommodating. Love their meatballs. Ordered the pizza calabrese which was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Also the dark chocolate Oreo gelato was terrific. They always have a great feature draft IPA, also. Thoroughly enjoyable. read more

Stopped by while traveling through Scranton. We got the Bikini Bottom and CBR pizzas. The ambience was excellent and our server was phenomenal! The pizzas are great for either a single serving if you're hungry or to share with someone else. I would love to come back if ever in the area again! read more

We have wanted to come here for the past few years but we were never able to get a reservation within a week of dining. This restaurant is highly rated so we had high expectations. They fell way short and we were all definitely disappointed. Not only was the food just ok, but we were encouraged to order the steak special. It came out super raw when one of us had ordered it medium. By the time we received the adjusted meat, all of us were done with our meals. The service was fine but we don't need to come back again. read more

This place went from being a nice improvement in the city to a staple! Went in last night with a buddy for some pizza and wine. Their wood fired pizzas are amazing but the Bikini Bottom (ultimately a Big Mac pizza) was delicious, don't think I'd had it before. read more

I made a reservation like a week ago. We got the spot on service and table. Hats off to that! Wine Selection - Fab (We tried the award winning Sauvignon blanc and the cab from the menu (both Super Amazing!) Service - Awesome 10/10. Emilie was outstanding and went beyond her way to get us what we wanted. Food - Most of it was good from what I tried, Tagliatelle Burrata was delicious and tasted fresh and flavorful Flat bread - Honey whipped Ricotta was good Margarita Pizza - simply great! Sicily Inspired Eggplant Fritty - Dish Presentation was great, but eggplant tasted soggy and overall did not like the combination of orange supreme, basil and pistachios. To me, this combination did not work and did not like the dish. Other than that, great restaurant! read more

Sure miss chef Tabone. We are here tonight for the first time under the new chef and we were completely disappointed. Cold eggplant and the size of a quarter, chicken thighs one normal size and a small piece on a bed of wet rice and a few mushrooms flavorless, cappelletti (8) dried and looked like old pasta no sauce and burnt walnuts. The dessert was good hazelnut brownie. Drinks were even flat. I hate to say bar Pazzo jumped the shark. $200 wasted. read more

I have been wanting to try this place and finally did. When I arrived I parked right in front. I walked into a cute restaurant. I sat at the bar, and Megan was my bartender. I got a strawberry martini, which she suggested but wasn't too fond of it, so I got the lemon drop martini instead. For my dinner, I wanted to try the chicken thighs, but it came with sausage, so I asked for it to be removed. It came out with sausage in it, so i had to send it back and got the margarita pizza instead. That pizza, I will say, was delicious! I really enjoyed the flavors! The bill was super affordable as well, and all in all, I had a pretty decent experience. read more

Went here for my little sister's birthday and ordered the BEST dip I've ever had in my life. It was a goat cheese dip with pine nuts, golden raisins and olive oil drizzled on top. I could have ordered 32 of these for dinner and I would have been satisfied. The bread that comes with it is doughy with sea salt flakes. I will never forget this appetizer, we were both raving about it. read more

This place is great and the staff is amazing. We sat at the bar and had the whipped ricotta, meatballs and the Bronx pizza. I thought everything was yummy, for me the sauce with the meatballs was too sweet and they were a bit dry. We had delicious cocktails, a Manhattan & espresso martini. The place is packed so I would recommend a reservation. read more

Very lame. The pizza was barely ok, service was terrible, and they changed a mandatory 20% service fee for this. The menu was very limited and it was INCREDIBLY LOUD in the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend going there. read more

This place was awesome! A friend recommended it while we were visiting family in the area. The wood fired pizza was fantastic! We just about cried when we realized we accidentally left our leftovers behind in the parking garage while paying for our parking voucher! The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is nice and bright and modern. They were super busy with every table booked and the bar totally full when we arrived at 5:15 on a Thursday! Fortunately we got a couple seats at the pizza bar--which was actually fun since we could see them making the pizza. We had the mushroom/white pizza and the Bronx, which is basically a meat lovers.... Both SOOO GOOD!!! read more

The tartufo pizza was extraordinary. Delectable crust and a filling of mushrooms and ricotta with just the perfect sprinkling of truffle oil. Can't get better in Italy. Try it with a glass of the new wine on the menu from Montepuciano. Service by Emily was an added bonus She was not only attentive, she was also warm, informative and hospitable. read more

The service, ambiance, and food were perfection! Ambiance was nicely done from seating arrangements, to wall decorations, and place settings in a room capable of personal conversation. We shared two pizzas with salads along with drinks and desserts and everything was perfect thanks to the excellent recommendations from our server. As for our wait staff, Meagan, she was top notch in every aspect. We thought we were just stopping for a quick meal and getting back on the road to continue our journey south. But Meagan's insights, engagement and recommendations quickly had us rethinking our intentions. We ended up finding a hotel locally so we could enjoy our meal all the while turning a meal into a memory. Cheers to Friday night, pizza night and kudos to a job well done! read more

Nice little pizza place found while traveling to upstate NY. The service was very pleasant. The food was very nice as well. We had pizza and a pasta bolognese dish. The pizza was cooked nicely, at the *almost* too much state. The ingredients were of good quality and fresh. The pasta dish was way too large for one person! The noodles were good, a tiny bit larger than regular spaghetti noodles. All in all a very good stop. read more

Great pizza and pasta and wonderful wine list. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan come back!

Food is fresh and served well. Staff took great care of me. As a sometimes solo diner, I appreciate a professional team like Casey and the team at Bar Pazzo. Was pleasantly surprised to see the outdoor seating- smart to make use of the sidewalk during this pretty weather. Eggplant fritti was excellent as was the chopped salad. Must say I had to do some chopping and mixing to create the salad I expected, and glad I did as it was delicious! read more

Wow, what an excellent find! We arrived on NYE night with no reservations, to a packed restaurant and all they had available was the "pizza bar". We were so happy to sit there, since you got to watch all of the pizza prep, and see all the pizza and various bread cook in their wood-fired oven. And after being entertained by this, the pizzas we ordered were super delicious, the wine was excellent, and our server super friendly! Definitely highly recommend! read more

Found this gem while traveling to Scranton and I can't wait to go back! It's an upper scale Italian pizza place and you immediately felt like you were in a big city restaurant. I got the meatballs because literally everyone told me I MUST have them and they did not disappoint! Only sad part was forgetting them in my hotel fridge the next morning. I also got the Spring Onion Soup which was a take on French Onion but I found it off putting. Pungent cheese and the fat too large piece of crusty bread soaked up all the soup. They get a pass on this because everything else was amazing. I was alone and sitting at the end of the bar and the bartender was awesome and super attentive. I highly recommend their Chianti and the Strawberry Rhubarb Lemon Drop Martini!!! read more
