Last night was my first time eating at Pizza L'Oven in Exeter. We ordered potato cakes and a half pan of Tony's pepperoni. Wait time to be seated, receive drinks, and our food was relatively sort. The potato cakes were very delicious and served with a side of sour cream. The pizza was mistakenly made without pepperoni. Our waitress was awesome. She went to the kitchen and placed the correct order and told us to keep the pizza that was initially given to us. Three different staff members asked if we needed drink refills during our time at the restaurant. Everyone was pleasant, professional, and worked very well together. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The exterior is also well maintained and nicely landscaped with colorful flowers. We will be repeat customers. We enjoyed our time there. It was a great experience. read more

Our first time here, sadly won't be back. Everyone but one male manager was rude. Our waitress was awful. When she took our order (with a rude tone) I asked her to give me a min to figure out what beer to go with. That was the last time we saw her. Pizza was good, not great. The crust is pretty greasy, but really crunchy, which was the best part. read more

Much to greasy. This is every time. No TY. I prefer Pizza Perfect. The Oil was actually up to my elbows. Nice People. read more

Love Pizza L'Oven! Unique pizza with a fried crust. Get it with onion. Love the wings , too. Two thumbs up!!! read more

Excellent service and food is always fresh. Casual environment. Outdoor seating available.

Service was great, but honestly not a fan of their taco pizza. I'm one of those people if I don't like one thing off the menu, I usually don't return voluntarily. They have alcohol, which I always appreciate. read more

Welcome to Part 2 Foodaholics of the Saturday food adventure. If you have not watched Part 1 from KJ's Pickle Barrel, please check it out. Now Part 2 takes us to Pizza L'Oven in the evening to where I ordered a half tray of Sicilian pizza and a half order of their wings. The last time I had this was a takeout during the pandemic. The wings were nice and crisp but not overdone, I have to say they were really good. The sauce is on the thinner side were usually in most places are a thicker sauce. However, in this case tonight it worked out really well. My half tray comes with or without onions, I went with and added bacon. The crust was crisp, nicely done. The pizza itself was very delicious. The sauce with the cheese, bacon, and onions just was a great combination. Now they are a cash only place with an ATM on site. A big thumbs up and recommend. Until next week, see you in the next video, catch us Saturday nights 9 pm EST for Outside the Box Live!

One of the best pizza places in the area for decades. The wings are outstanding.... So good that we don't care to get wings at other establishments for the most part. This Pizza L'Oven location is a must visit restaurant in the Northeast PA area. read more

Pizza L'Oven - Menu April 2024 - Pizza Near Me - Exeter, Pennsylvania

Full disclaimer, my wife grew up in this area and worked here as a teenager in the late 80's. I, however, never knew of this place or the wonders of "Old Forge" style pizza until much later in life. It is now a must stop every time we visit family. Although, I do like to switch up my "Old Forge" pizza joints we find ourselves coming here often. This is a family owned and operated establishment, and even though I visit about twice a year, I feel like I know the staff. Pizza L'Oven has a large menu but there should only be two reasons to visit --- pizza and wings. The pizza dough is fried in a cast iron skillet and then the cheese and sauce are baked on top in the oven. It's a square cut pizza with a breadlike crispy fried bottom and chewy center. The cheese varies from place to place but its typically a blend with lots of american. While not my go to -- they also make a delicious white pizza. The local tradition is to order your "cuts"--- "with" meaning I want onions (e.g. gimme 4 cuts / with). If you're really hungry you may order a "tray" not a pie. Pie is reserved for desert. A tray is 14 cuts usually offered at a reduced price. I typically order 3 or 4 cuts but always want more (oh gluttony). While I love their pizza, we typically visit here more than their competitors for their wings. The wings are medium to large in size, fresh - never frozen and fried crispy. Sauce options are mild, hot or hooter. The sauces all have good flavor and even though hooter is their hottest none are too spicy. I always order hot with a side of hooter for dipping. Hooter also tastes great with your crust! This place may put me in an early grave but atleast I'm enjoying the ride! read more

Been going here 20 plus years.waitress knows my order by heart..tonight was the worst experience I have ever had..ordered wings to eat in and pizza to go Ended with all drums no flats asked waitress she said can't do anything..my last time there read more

Absolutely delicious one of my favorite pizza places when traveling in PA. Love the chicken bites and white pizza.

I've been eating here for 15 years and most of the time the pizza and wings are superior and consistent. In comparison to the local "knock offs" they hold up. read more

We did take out so not much I can say on ambiance or service. Pizza was tasty but a bit on the greasy side (which sometimes happens with this type of Sicilian style in NE PA). Wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad. read more

I've been a regular for many many years that being said I had the bone in wings on Saturday night and they were awful as if they were pre cooked and sitting under a heat lamp drying out. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Their square "cuts" were excellent. Quality ingredients and baked perfectly. No grease whatsoever and pizza was seasoned exactly as it should be seasoned. Decor is 1970's tavern style but nobody seems to care and they shouldn't because the pizza is that good. Round is ok but the square is the star of the show. Best in the area. A dozen people or so taking " to go" orders each time Ive been there. Will be back. read more

Great pizza Friendly staff. Good for take out too. Lots of roomy space. Good for large families.

This review for Hanover. Ordered pizza and they said forty minutes. Picked it up and pizza was only warm. Pizza also looked like it was old. Very disappointed because we are in from Delaware and we were really looking forward to it. Will never go back. read more

One of my favorite pizzas in the areas. The pizza is pan fried and therefore a bit greasy but that crust and flavor is unmatched!! If you enjoy chicken wings then I highly recommend the wings. Hit are hot but scorchers are just that! All wings are served with plenty of celery and blue cheese. Pizza L'Oven is alway busy on weekends so make sure you get there early. We enjoy eating outside on their covered patio but there's plenty of parking outside. The restaurant is ADA accessible and there's adequate off street parking. read more

Wooooaaaaa budddyyy this may or may not be the place for you!! They said 45 minutes on the phone for my tray of pizza and that's was totally fine!! It's a busy night!! I got there in the split second of 45 minutes because I just couldn't wait to try this pizza!!! Man oh mannnn I waited another 30 minutes and finally got a hold of the pizza still excited it would be fresh out of the oven!! Well guess what.... YOU'RE WRONG BUDDY!!! When I got home I took an ol hangry bite out the pizza and it was ice ice baby coooolllldddd!!! Like they baked in the refrigerator!!! And it was soggier than my wife's titties!!!! Daaaamn man!! The flavor was there but zippooo on the warmth!! Needed to put a steering wheel cover around that crust just to pick it up!! And for it to floppy all over the dang place!! Pizza Loven more like pizza naaaahloven!!! read more

Pizza is very good. Wings are also very good. Chili cheese fries are awesome they make their own chili. read more

We lived in the area for 12 years. We were "regulars ". In love with everything on the menu, but especially the taco pizza. You will not be disappointed! read more

Have been going there for years (Exeter location). The pizza is good and the wings are some of the best around.

Never a let down. Service is incredible. Price is average and the taste is above par.

Weve been customers for many many years but with our take out on super bowl sunday - the experience was really poor. The pizza was extremely oily, greasy, and we were going to sop it up with a napkin but thought it was not a great idea. The next day, my husband was going to have t=for lunch and he who never throws any food away did just that. It was worse the next day - super greasy - so bad that it was not only crispified but oily as well. Please make the pizza like it used to be. Like the owners so did not want to blastt them but c'mon, it was lousy. read more

My favorite pizza anywhere, hands down. Order a tray with onions and thank me later. read more

Pizza L'Oven - Best pizza ever - Pizza Near Me - Exeter, Pennsylvania

I have not had Pizza Loven since 2003. In high school, we would go there once a month, drive from Scranton. It was better than anything scranton or old forge had to offer. Almost 20 years later I was visiting home. It is just as good or even better! Crispy, professional, greasy in the best ways! Get the classic...cheese only is my favorite. Don't sleep on the wings! While you are there tip the staff! This past year has been the worst on family gems like this! read more

The pizza is always great and the staff is always friendly. The pizza is made to order is consistantly good. The big menu allows members of your family some good choices if pizza isn't their first choice. I recommend the potato pancakes and wings. Always great. The location has a long history of great pizza in Exeter. When I was a kid Tommy's Pizza was at this location. Going in the place brings back some great memories. Maybe Exeter is the real 'pizza capitol of the world' - it would get my vote. read more

A coworker recommended this place to me since I'm from California and visiting for work. Of course, I got the fried Sicilian pizza, and that was definitely something I've never experienced before. The crisp yet tenderness of the pizza was amazing. I wasn't much of a fan of sweet sauce pizza, but this fried pizza thing has won me over. The wings here are also great--they're exactly what you want in wings: great size and great flavor. I already can't wait to come visit Wilkes-Barre again. read more

Great pizza. Crispy fried crust. You'll spend a little bit more than other pizza places in the area, but it's worth every penny! They only accept cash. read more

Pizza L'oven is a gem! Located "back home" where my parents grew up, it's never been out of the question for us to drive 1.5 hours for some pizza and wings. With the pandemic, we've grabbed take out to come home and eat a few times too! Never a bad slice! read more

Pizza L'oven has delicious fried pizza and in my opinion some of the best wings in the Wyoming Valley. Don't come here expecting to eat healthy! The pizza is baked with a full ladle of oil in the pan so the crust basically fries in the oven. The result is a golden, crunchy crust on every bite. I always order my wings hot and extra crispy. They come out perfect about 95% of the time and the other times they're still edible. They have added some specialty pizzas to their menu through the years including taco, broccoli and cheese, chicken wing and BLT. I've tried all of them and they're good, but the extra toppings make them even heavier; two slices and I'm stuffed. Tips from a local (me): Ask for a side of mayo with the BLT pizza or blue cheese with the chicken wing pizza and spread a little on the top, it's really good. If you're ordering the regular pizza you have the option of onion or no onion. Get it with onion, its not overpowering and the flavor they add takes the pizza to another level. Even if you don't like onions, get it with onion (or else!). read more

Pizza L'Oven - Pizza L'oven on a snowy day - Pizza Near Me - Exeter, Pennsylvania

Pizza L'Oven Exeter History: Pizza Loven in Exeter has been family owned and operated pizzeria for 38 years. Originally started in Forty Fort, PA in 1975, they expanded to Exeter in 1982. Offering a variety of choices such as Pizza, Wings, Salads, and more and a bar serving Sodas, Beer and Wine. They also host events such as any type of shower, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners and more. As this was my first time at Pizza Loven, I had to try what they are famous for; They're PIZZA. I selected the White Pizza with Fresh Tomato and Garlic and let me tell you, if you're looking for that home cookin' family atmosphere this is the place and pizza for you. The pizza was served in a 7 cut half tray and brought to my table hot and cheesy. The crust was baked very well, golden and crispy. It reminded me of garlic bread sticks. Yum! I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth and of course had to take a box home so I had leftovers for the next day- but they didn't last that long. As I am not typically a fan my pizza being served in cuts, I have to say this one was a goodie. Id definitely order this tray again with some ice cold beer to wash it down! As I am ALWAYS a fan on Banana Peppers on my Pizza and just as a snack, I was excited to see these as an appetizer on their menu. I have never seen fried banana peppers anywhere and gave them a shot. Of course I enjoyed them. They need to be eaten hot and fresh because like all Fried Foods these babies need to be eaten hot and fresh so dig in as soon as they bring them to your table! Basket of French Fries- Made to Order Smothered in Cole Slaw,Hot Sauce, and Spices- Perfect for a quick snack or a meal. Pizza L'oven is in my opinion the best place to get that family style, home cookin', environment in NEPA. Head on down to Exeter and Enjoy! read more

Amazing pizza, my absolute favorite fried dough pizza in NEPA. wings are a great classic taste. Service was always great, my wife's family has been coming here for her whole life and she now takes our kids there and they love it as well read more

OMG! The best pizza EVER!!! My wife's family is from this area and I have been sampling this pizza for decades. And it is ALWAYS fantastic. Here is the breakdown. Crust ... crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Sauce ... lightly covered with sweet tomatoes. Toppings ... Cheesy mozzarella (of course) and your choice of with or without onions ... and I am in the "with" camp. That's it. Simple but delicious. And ... if you like buffalo wings, they make some of the best in that category as well. All bundled with great service. If you are ever in the area, please give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

My favorite fried pizza and wing stop. Excellent quality, amazingly clean and friendly family owned and operated business. Sooo love Pizza L'Oven EXETER not associated with other pizza lovens in NEPA. This is the one and only! read more

It was just ok. The decor is cute, but i could have wrote my name in the dust on my napkin holder. The chairs were also dusty underneath and on the legs. I enjoyed my fish, but my boyfriend was upset that his chicken was boned. He was assuming the honey dipped chicken was boneless and the menu never specified that it wasn't. His chicken tasted good to me, but he has always hated boned chicken. The fries were 100 percent perfect!!! So crispy and huge. I really enjoyed them. The setvice was great and my cup was never empty. Overall good experience. read more

Every other pizza place are playing catch up including pizza perfect. Just go right now!!!! read more
