The best pizza in town! Goombas has been a staple on Main St. for years. They have MASSIVE slices available at the counter or you can do custom stuff to order. The Chicken Bacon Ranch pie is my absolute favorite! Lightly sauced, chopped chicken cutlets, crispy bacon, cheese, and a ranch drizzle! The thin crust is perfect as well. The place is exactly what you'd picture a pizza joint to look like, a few tables inside with old mobster posters on the wall. Big pizza oven behind the counter and a young man tossing dough. It's another small family owned business as well, which I love. They kept their prices resonance when everyone else was going up. While their prices have gone up a little the past few years, I will always appreciate them for not passing the buck on to us during the hard times. They deserve your business and you need to try their pizza. read more

I was immediately met with rudeness and complete disregard for customer satisfaction. I went around 7 pm they had barely any options and when I asked if I could get a large meat lovers the manager or owner gave me a snarky remark like I was bothering him. The pizza was finally ready after 45 minutes and it wasn't cooked properly. When I complained to the owner they claimed. "Thats how we make it." I was completely disgusted with the entire restaurant haven't been there in 6 months. The owner should really take a different approach of customer appreciation and food quality. read more

Who knew we'd find the best NY-style pizza we've had in years in the Poconos? Foldable, lightly crisp and just the right ratio of tomato sauce and cheese. Yum! We got our pie to-go (since our hotel was next door), but the real deal would be stopping in for a ridiculously large slice. And, since many of the less-than-stellar reviews mention the customer service, I can honestly say our experience was overwhelmingly positive. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Only wish we lived close enough to get a slice or two every week. read more

Goombas Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

I must say the I really loved the x-large slice of plain pizza. Crispy bottom, not too much cheese and the sauce was great. The price is right and the staff is very friendly But there are too many downfalls. The place is dirty and old. It needs to be gutted and remolded. The selection of sliced pizzas are just very basic. The lay out is not contusive to an easy flow of ordering and sitting down to eat. I was also disappointed that they are closed 1 day a week. And so if you want a real tasty slice, get it to go! read more

Great pepperoni pizza. Just like they make in Philly. Crust was thin enough to fold over .

Been waiting to write this review for a while. Goombas is by far the best pizza in the stroudsburg area. Absolutely huge portions. Perfect light crust with the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Definitely my favorite pizza spot in the Poconos. read more

Good quick bite pizza spot! Haven't had any other food besides the pizza will be back soon to try the dishes.

Really bad place very dirty and the manager is very improfessional. The pizza was realy bad, never again. Be careful

The best pizza I've ever had! Service is amazing food comes out quick and very fresh. The best mom and pop shop you will ever go to

Ordered a slice which by the way was so good and a side salad all served with a major attitude.

Attention my long islanders and New Jersey friends, this pizza was delicious! Everyone knows the rules, one bite- solid undercarriage with no flop, cheese very fresh and tasty, crispy crust. The restaurant is clean and prices are very fair, staff is very nice and attentive. A must visit if you are in the area and looking for a slice of pizza like we do at home. read more

Ridiculous! Y'all need to practice portion control because I could eat all day. It's the only thing that's keeping me from giving it 5 I have tons of leftovers and I CANNOT stop eating, it's so delicious. Do not let go of your cook/chef because your food has me wanting to learn Italian. Marone! read more

Was a toss up between giving this place 2 or 3 stars. This was the only place open around the area after we had a concert. Had two available pies ready to reheat so we didn't have a lot of options but they were fine for us--none of the pizzas were labeled so when we pointed at them the guy was like "that's the meat one" and "that's the chicken bacon ranch." While waiting for them to heat up the slices, I noticed that no gloves whatsoever were used between checking people out and grabbing slices, or from the other workers making the pizzas. I guess that's what gives it the "authentic NY taste." This was the only place open around so we just went with it. A fight also nearly broke out from this bloke thinking this other guy took his order, when he in fact ordered the same, very common pizza. Slices were $5 each and took up half the box, so with two slices it basically was a whole pizza. Super duper thin slices, the meat one was really floppy and didn't keep its shape, but the ranch one held together a bit better. Overall, most of the points were docked off due to hygiene purposes as well as the whole vibes of the restaurant. The pizza was not too bad and the prices were pretty reasonable for what we got when we were in a pinch. read more

Goombas Pizzeria - Meat Pizza and chicken bacon ranch slice - Pizza Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

At least once a month we order from there. Wow Mouth watering pizza. Large slices. Never disappointed. Highly recommend.

Seems like a lot of people in these reviews don't seem to appreciate the owner's NY humor.. that being said, Goomba's is literally the only time that I've devoured not only the pizza in haste, but the crust as well. I always leave the crust- not this time. Authentic NY pizza af, crispy to perfection. I had a great time getting to know the owner (that Brooklyn connection!) so I had great service and I will definitely be back! Inside and outside is classic pizza parlor, but it also screams "Goomba" pizza so there is a sarcastic irony there. Overall, a true NYC slice in PA! read more

The owner is a jerk. I asked if they. An make a slice and he said no I can't make a slice it has to be a whole pic, duh! I should have walked out then. Even thought the owner is a total ass the pizza is really good. This is not an endorsement to go, actually I iwould say go to someone else that would appreciate your business. On top of the stupid comment made, he walked past the slices and to our table where we were waiting and said your pizza is ready for you to pick up. Mind you there was nobody in the store. I told the kid behind the counter, I would never be back and low and behold I was talking to the owners son. He didn't know what to say. read more

Every time I go to this place they never disappoint. Their food is always so good. You can taste the quality in their ingredients. I always feel so welcome. They are very friendly. And the place is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend it read more

So...I'll make a long story short, if possible: First of all, the owners were not working and clearly they had their JV team on staff this night. That should have been my first clue. In my experience, the owners are good people and this never would have happened had they been present. Anyway, I order three things: pizza, stromboli, and a salad. Ok no problem with the order. The pizza kid makes some inane attempts at humor, but harmless otherwise. Mind you, it's not busy as only a handful of people come in for slices and they take an occasional take out call. Typical stuff here. After thirty minutes, order is not done. I take a look at the prep area, and the kid is just putting the stromboli into the oven--meanwhile, the pizza is sitting there on top of the oven, obviously done--and getting cold. So I ask the kid to put the pizza back in the oven--and he looks at me like I'm insane. Being curious, I ask why he wouldn't time it out so both the pizza and boli would be ready at the same time. Who the heck wants a lukewarm pizza? The kid actually starts arguing with me, at which time the manager(?) comes out and explains this is the way they do it there. So let me ask you, the reader: do you cook your steak first ...and then start the baked potato and vegetables after? Of course you don't...you time it so all is ready at one time. Clearly I hadn't made my point and they are unapologetic. I wasn't mad, I just wanted an explanation as to why they were selling me a lukewarm pizza, and why this whole experience has taken 50 minutes. I asked if Sam, the owner, were here, if this would have been the same result. The pizza kid states that yea, it would have been the same...and then he calls Sam to complain! So the kid is bellyaching about me, the customer--to Sam, while I am still waiting for the order to be boxed and given to me. It was weird, to say the least. The manager continues to try to explain to me why they did what they did--putting the boli in long after the pizza is done. And she tells me that the pizza remains hot while on top of the pizza oven. Let me tell you that is complete bull. Since it was done for 20+ minutes after it was out of the oven, it was decidedly was not hot. I told her that their way of doing things is absolutely their choice --but I simply wouldn't be returning--which is my choice. And we won't be coming back, which is sad because we like the owners and their pizza is mostly good. (However, our pizza was less than stellar on this night--disappointing in fact.) There were a handful of other comedy nuggets as well, but I've taken too much of your time. With so many pizzerias in Stroudsburg, it will be easy to avoid Goombas in the future. read more

Kinda offended by these reviews honestly. It's the best pizza in town, by far. The owners are always super kind to me, sure it's "New York" manners, but what else do you expect from an authentic pizza place? I eat here weekly! Best crust, biggest pie, delicious all the way through. Go for takeout or stop in for a slice, but don't do what one of these reviewers said and ask them to make you a single slice... pizzas are round bro! read more

Terrible pizza and rude service. After an extended amount of time (45 mins just for a pie) I asked if they could tell me about how much longer the pie would take and his response was "why is there a problem" waited super long for super bad pizza and got an attitude to top it off. Oh and the single slice my husband had while we waited for our pie, the Buffalo chicken slice tasted like it was five days old. With so many options, don't waste your money there. We will never go back. read more

Good pizza. Awful service. We had to ask for plates 3 times, a glass of water twice. there was a woman (who did not wait on us) that was very friendly other than that nothing much else to say about the staff Visited 2/14/21 read more

This is real New York style pizza. The staff is extremely friendly. The slices are huge with the perfect amount of toppings.

I've had pizza from Goombas twice in the past. Both times were ok but nothing special... tonight I decided to give them another try. We had garlic knots and 1 large plain pizza. The garlic knots were very thick and tasted like the dough had not been let rise. Aside from that they would have probably been tasty. The sauce was good. The pizza was horrible. It tasted ever-so-slightly fermented. I can deal with "blah" food, but my biggest problem with Goombas is the service & uncomfortable setting. Specifically, these items... 1) It smelled like a pool hall. 2) I watched the guy behind the counter make our pizza. After operating the cash register, he did not wash his hands before proceeding to cook. 3) This building appears to have no air conditioning - just 2 large fans blowing everything everywhere. 4) When I asked for a box to take our remaining food home, the server asked "how 'bout a bag?" instead, even though they had plenty of boxes clearly displayed. I really didn't want to take it but felt guilty wasting! So we left with a bag full of pizza.... which went into the nearest trash can after we left. read more

If you want Italian New York style pizza in PA it is very hard to find but look no further Goombas is the place. The crust is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside and it tastes delicious on its own without the sauce and cheese, it is sturdy and holds up the sauce and cheese without falling down like a dogs wagging tongue, nothing worse than limp pizza! The cheese is top notch as is the sauce. The Italian sausage topping is real Italian sausage not some shopping chain cheap junk. All of this means real Italian New York style pizza. The antipasto is fresh with real roasted peppers and real Genoa salami again not some cheap substitution, fresh mozzarella cheese, delicious! I am looking forward to trying some of the Italian dishes in the near future. I read all the reviews and I have to tell you I have never heard a bigger bunch of crybabies in my life! "The food is good but the owner didn't bow down and kiss my feet for my 10 bucks so I give them 1 star" "I ordered online but wanted some extras so I called and was told I had to pay for them! So I gave them 2 stars" give me a break! did mommy not love you enough? Maybe my New York is showing, hope I didn't make any of you babies cry. Goombas baby! They are the real deal, do yourself a favor and get some and see for yourself. Oh and NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN! read more

Not very happy with the service. No employee madd a move without getting the boss' ok who was on the phone trying to apologize about an undercooked pizza for one of the customers. Food was okay but nothing stood out except for the price. Not going back. read more

Very happy that my son chose this spot for dinner. Pizza was tasty, place was clean and everyone masked. Service was quick and polite. Will definitely go back soon. We ordered 3 slices of pizza; the slices were big and thin crust (which I like), great cheese to sauce ratio too. read more

Like some other people, we just walked into Goomba's off the street with no expectations. We just needed to feed the beast. That said, the first thing that blew us away was the size of the pizzas: 26"!!! When you order pizza by the slice, that's what you're getting a slice of. That means that if you're used to eating 15" pies, it's a slice and a half! Think about it. Slices go for about $3.00+ but they're way bigger than NYC slices for the same price. Your pizza slice gets put on a paper plate but the slice is so big, it's tip hangs off the plate, and you can't help but take that first bite...fast! And when you dig in, it's actually really pretty good! The crust is pretty light and crispy (which is hard to do given how much pizza weight it has to hold) and the sauce-cheese-topping flavor (in our case cheese & mushroom) was tasty. It really hit the spot! Plus, if you're a late night reveler, this place is open to 3am on the weekends. They don't deliver, but don't hold that against them. read more

This place used to be good. We ordered two pies, stromboli and a cheese steak and fries. Our pizza and stromboli were burnt and tasted like a dirty burnt oven. The french fries were cold, soggy and not fully cooked. The cheese steak had a grill taste and the meat was burnt around the edges. The only good piece of food out of this was the roll. So very sorry that we wasted $60 on dinner. read more

I own my own business and none of my employees will ever be back .... sandwich was goid reheated at home ,which Is a shame I'll never go back and get another one read more

We were on our way home from NYC and didn't feel like cooking. The place we wanted to get pizza from was closed so my wife started looking for other pizza places that were opened. She came across a place called Goombas and frankly just because of the name we had to try it. WOW. THE PIZZA IS FANTASTIC!!!!! And the owners were a positive delight. Even after a long Sunday in August they could not have been nicer and my whole family felt like we were being welcomed home by friends. This place is definitely on our local radar now and we all can't wait to go again!!! Thank you for a fantastic experience!!! read more

In Poconos for vacation, called in order for pickup 16" Supreme and garlic bread. arrived early for pickup. it's certainly not a big place, but the staff was friendly. Guy making the pies, and girl running till, chatted with me while I waited. Excellent pizza! Thin crust, right amount of sauce and cheese, which looked fresh, will definitely order from here next time we're here read more

Looking for a legit Pizza place, and this was it! Great selection of slices, large menu. Had a small calzone for dinner and it was awesome. The sauce for dipping was rich and spicy, and was a great addition to the meal. I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again. read more

I would give 0 if I could. I called to ask if I could have extra sauce for my uber eats order and the man that answered was extremely rude to me asking "how you going to pay for that" in a nasty tone! And proceeded to say he doesn't have my order. He was also rude to my uber driver. When I order from a restaurant I expect some respect. I will never order from this place again, so sad how these workers are so disrespectful!!!! read more

Very disappointed, pre ordered an evening pizza 2 hours before delivery was required; despite the staff member being polite on the phone and taking the order NOTHING showed. I was even told I'd get a courtesy call to ensure its on route, but instead I made the call at the allotted time to be told it'd be at least another 20 mins. I cancelled and there was no regard for me or my order. They say first impressions last and in this case it's true... read more

Decent pizza terrible customer service While waiting I wanted a cup of water and obviously they had it but made me buy a bottle of water for $2.50. Then to top if off my friend Jason ate my second slice. read more

Nobody reviewed this place for a while so here's my two cents. I like this place. I walked in around 8 and the only person there was the owner who is from the NYC area. I got 3 specialty slices and an order of garlic knots for take out ($10 minimum for credit cards). He gave me a box (contrary to another review). Biting into the first slice of chicken bacon pizza, I fell in love. A crispy and satisfying crust with the perfect amount of cheese and good flavor. The garlic knots were meh. I'd certainly go back. read more

Staff is so rude. Slices are huge (2 stars for a huge slice!) but served cold every time I've grabbed a slice here they heat it up for about 30 seconds. And you feel super unwelcome. Sorry I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, Stroud Pizzeria across the street is far superior to this place if you're on Main St. read more
