This place is GREAT!! Dining solo at the bar, had great conversation with Kara & team. The meatball / sausage appetizer was delicious & huge too. Took a tiramisu for the road...equally delicious. Can't wait to go again when I'm back in town read more

Rude! Girl that took my husbands order completely messed up our pizza order. He ordered 2 large trays with a coupon. Girl who took order and who rang me up knew she ordered wrong. Instead of 2 trays tried to tell me that my husband ordered 3 trays!! I called my husband while still at counter to get his exact order. He was right he ordered the 2 trays with the coupon. Girl insisted he ordered 3 trays never admitted she was wrong only thing she said was let me get someone to take off the 3rd trays so U don't get charged for it. Guess what?! I wasn't planning on paying for an extra pizza that wasn't ordered in first place!! Poor customer service when your staff can't admit they were wrong and apologize for their mistake by ordering an additional pizza that wasn't even ordered in first place!! Remember the customer is always right!! read more

Honestly the most disappointing pizza I have had around these parts. Sauce was okay, crust meh, and prices like we should have been getting this shipped from Italia read more

This place is the best pizza place I've been to. Pizza brought us in and the rest of the menu made us stay. read more

Colarusso's Coal-Fired Pizza - Sofia Loren - Pizza Near Me - Dickson City, Pennsylvania

Best Antipasto I ever had. Great white como. Staff was outstanding. Great dining experience. I will definitely be back.

Local stop for Italian food and coal fire pizza. Owned by a local family who are very nice and friendly to all who visit. I found it a bit pricey for the food. The bill was almost $90 without tip. We had two alcoholic drinks, two main dishes, a take home pizza, and one shared dessert. We had a nice visit and took home plenty of food for lunch the next day. The server was friendly and very quick to help. The desert was very good. read more

Steak and cheese hogie, Sophia Loren pizza and Cesar salad absolutely flawless! Keep up the great work guys! Love eating there but opted for take out today. See you again soon. Diane & Richard read more

Good spot for a big group! Pizzas were great (buffalo chicken was saucy and spicy) and the chef salad was delicious to share. Service was great, and do not miss out on ordering the garlic parm rolls! Super buttery and delicious read more

I was in the mood for some pizza and stopped in at this restaurant. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked in and sat at the bar. Joe was my bartender, and he was very attentive! I started with the carafe of Pinot nior, which was good. I then ordered the Sofia Loren 12-inch pizza with shrimp and spinach. I never had shrimp on a pizza, so I wanted to try it. It came out in about 20 minutes or so and looked good. When I dug in, it was delicious! I really enjoyed the combo. The bill was even affordable! I had a really good experience! read more

Unique cooking style. Great flavors. The coal fire process adds a unique taste and Christmas to the pizza dough that is not duplicated by anyone else in the region. The Italian season Wings done in the coal-fired oven.Have a unique taste as well, staying very moist with a crispy exterior. read more

Pizza was good we got a traditional pie and I had a small side salad with chicken.It was good for a simple order. The service has been decent every visit. What isn't so good is that the hostess was incredibly disorganized obviously doesnt listen to customer request and seats people who came after us were seated before us. This happened on several visits.Maybe they need to slow it down a bit instead of the crazy rushing that happens in the entry way. The ambiance can be noisy but surely doesn't take away from the experience read more

Coal fired pizza is crispy and absolutely delicious. Salads are fresh. Service is friendly. Great place to stop for pizza!

I got takeout pizza here this past spring and was floored by the 3 different pizzas I had. I couldn't wait to get back to the mid valley to order pizza from y'all again. I was visiting this past weekend and got 3 different pizzas to go for family dinner. When I was ordering I noticed the menu was different and the pizza I ordered in the spring were no longer on the menu. I also ordered the coal fired wings with onions. When I got to the dinner with the pizza and opened each box I was surprised and very disappointed. I don't know what happened but I'll just say I won't be going back again. There's way too many great pizza joints around to pay for this places idea of pizza. And the wings... WTF? Very disappointed and a waste of money. Wh read more

The food was soooo good fresh, and cooked to perfection. I definitely would go again and I will and do recommend

Excellent food and pizza are the best around. Price is also prity decent. My wife love this place. read more

Gluten free pizza was terrible. Hard as a rock, very small, cold, and super dry. I didn't know pizza could be dry.. Very disappointed. We bought two trays for $33 and we are still hungry. read more

This was our second attempt at Colarusso's. First attempt was a pizza and Calamari. Calamari was rubbery, soggy, and no breading, pizza was soggy. Second attempt, Caesar salad, traditional pizza, and roasted wings. Lettuce was brown and rusty, store purchased croutons, pizza bottom was burned and black and wings were burned and black also. Having a coal fired oven doesn't give you an excuse to burn everything. Not willing to take a third chance, read more

Outstanding pizza...the Sophia Loren was a standout. The service was great everyone was nice and friendly and the wait times are more than reasonable. This is a definite go to for the area. read more

Didn't get to try the food. Waited 15 min for a table (reasonable), was seated with our two kids, placed an order, waitress returned an hour later to ask if our pizzas ever came to our table. Nope! Waitress said something about a problem of the kitchen not getting their tickets and was going to take another 15 minutes. Couldn't wait any longer and left to pickup some food at Wegmans. read more

Its a beautiful cozy restaurant with amazing food. It's literally the best Pizza I have ever had and the staff were very friendly. read more

Colarusso's Coal-Fired Pizza - a slice of pizza on a plate - Pizza Near Me - Dickson City, Pennsylvania

Delicious food and large portions! Great service as well. Would definitely recommend and go back!

Food and service always what you want. My wife and I usually split a pizza and salad. Plenty of food and reasonable pricing.

It's exactly what you would think from a "coal fired "pizza place! If you're not familiar with it, you're either going to love it, or you're not going to love it at all. The bottom of the pizza is cooked so well there is zero flop, but there's also a blackened/not burnt bottom to the pizza. The pizza is comparable to New York's style thin, but it is not New York style thin. It is a style all its own. I only had the pizza. As long as you know what you are ordering, I cannot recommend this place more. The ingredients are fresh, the pizza is delicious, and I will gladly return to the establishment. read more

Wow what a place. The food is out of this world but the staff is even better. They made you feel like taking care of you was very important to them. We had the coal fire wings with onions. Very unique. Great flavor. We also had the antipasto salad Was amazing, everything fresh. Meats cheeses red pepper olives lettuce and tomatoes. Had the baked meatballs and sausage with cheese. Very good. read more

In from out of town and coal fired pizza caught my eye. Service was excellent. Ambiance is fine, but it's a pizza joint so my bar is low. Let's talk about the food. Fantastic! Dough was crisp and thin. The cheese was fresh and not greasy. The sauce had great flavor but not overpowering. Really good pizza that you would be happy to order in any major city in the country. We also got a chicken parm sandwich to try. Also great. The sauce and fresh mozz is exactly how it should be done. I prefer the chicken not cut (whole cutlets instead) but if that is my one critique then no complaints! read more

If you're in Scranton, well, you better have coal fired pizza. Delivered on an ultra think crust , our Sofia Lauren pizza was just plain excellent. Paired with a large house salad, 12 inches was more than enough for two people. Beer and a delicious lemon basil martini made a perfect visit. Great service. read more

This place is legit! The pizza is incredible! The service is always great. And I wish I lived closer to get it more often. I live in Monroe County, and came here for the first time on a date. That relationship that brought me here might be over--but my love of this place's amazing pizza remains strong! When I'm in Dickson City and I can, I bring my pizza bag and bring a pie or two home. And I always pick up a pie to go, on my way to the Circle Drive In movie theater around the corner. The Bianco is my favorite! If you love a white pizza, this is a must have! But they are all incredibly amazing. I'm not sure why people fuss about Old Forge, when Dickson City is home to Lackawanna County's BEST LEGIT PIZZA!!! Go here, you won't be sorry! read more

Excellent and not over priced. A real treat compared to all the obvious chain eateries nearby. Pizza was thin crust and really good. Kids are more than they normally would. Definitely will come back when in the area. Been too long since last time. Just as good. Good work! Happy to see consistency!!! read more

Heard the hype too bad it all fell short. Nice place , nice patio. Waitress was rushed and pushy. Wings were good. The pizza was soggy and tasteless. Also asked to make sure it was crispy. Really wanted to like this place but never again. Also I don't know why you are sitting on top of each other here. I guess it's jam as many ppl into a space that should have been bigger to begin with. Very uncomfortable hard to even try to enjoy when someone is right next to you listening to your conversation. read more

Love this local, non-chain pizza place. A great family restaurant with quick service. The wait staff is young and very fast paced, which could be confused as unfriendly. Try their soups. The ceasar salad was just okay, but the pizza was sooooo good. I'd definitely go back. Try the chocolate shop next door or one of their desserts. read more

Best pizza in the Scranton area - not even close! Great staff and owner, also. You cant go wrong - all their food is top notch.

The Sicilian pizza was very good and would give them a 5 for it. I would return just for their coal fired pizza only. Penne pasta with red sauce was terrible. Very bland and seemed like watered down tomato paste. Had to load it up with parmigiana cheese, salt, and pepper just to get some of it down. Never again. The penne with Alfredo sauce was also lacking seasoning. Best that they stick with pizza. read more

This was some of the best pizza I have ever had. I ordered a 12" spicy shrimp and peppers. The thin crust was perfect and the pizza had a nice level of heat. It came out of the kitchen fairly quickly. The service and decor were adequate, but not amazing. But the pizza was too good not to give five stars. read more

Baked sausage was tasty & thick with sausage & cheese, very flavorful. However my margarita pizza was worse than grocery store frozen types. It was doughy and lacked toppings, including a key ingredient fresh basil! Very disapointing read more

I regularly stop here while traveling between syracuse and NYC. Ordered wings and a S&M pie. Both were excellent. Asked to have the pie well done and waiter / bartender had no problem w the special request. This is not Bianco in Phoenix or DiFara in B'Klyn, but you will give it high respect if you are a pie aficionado. read more

Colarusso's Coal-Fired Pizza - Just prior to Fresh basil add on. - Pizza Near Me - Dickson City, Pennsylvania

I went to this place for pizza and was denied my money back after the food being WRONG with a long dark hair in the food and the manager told us she didn't have any employees with long hair. Well...I'm bald...it sure wasn't my hair. We left the pizza there and left with no refund. It was terrible customer service. The manager would not leave her name nor the name of the owner. The waitress came to us when we were out at our car and told us "we give refunds all the time, I don't know why she won't refund you. She always does this with out of town people" I can't believe this! We will never eat here again! read more

This place is amazing. I highly recommend their chicken wings which are baked in a coal oven. Very good service as well! Good variety of pizzas with crispy crust! Cons: Fountain drinks are a little expensive $2.5 each.. read more
