The Mountain House doesn't disappoint with its consistently great pizzas and Italian options. We always bring our family and out of town visitors to enjoy this delicious thin crust pizza. Our party of 9 ordered 5 pies, calamari, onion rings, and salad. The sausage pie is special since they grind the sausage so that it is evenly distributed and you get it in every bite. The hot cherry pepper pie is spicy and not for the faint of heart but it is spectacular. The wait staff is experienced and attentive and especially friendly. Get there early because it's a smaller restaurant and it gets crowded, especially after their high, and well-deserved Bar Stool rating. read more

I have had this place on my go to list ever since Dave Portnoy gave it 8.3 on his One Bite channel 3 years ago. They have a sign on their door and window with the 8.3 score. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but they did not live up to the hype. The crust was not that crisp and the overall flavor was just ok without the char. So why 4 stars? I really liked their salad and it was a really good price! Not good enough for us to make the over 1 hour drive but if we are in the area again, may give them another shot but would tell them to make the pizza well done. read more

We were in the area and drove by Mountain House and decided to stop there for some food and I am glad we did. We went on a Friday night and the place was hopping but we were able to get a table. We were promptly seated and had our drink order taken. Service was efficient and friendly from everyone. We ordered a Goodfella pizza, which has pepperoni, sausage and meatballs on it (it comes with bacon as well but we opted out). We also had some chicken parm bites to start. Everything was great! If you like thin crust pizza, you'll be in hog heaven. The restaurant has a great vibe and the bar area was also hopping. Just a note on weekend evenings they only do large pizzas. I would love to be able to replicate their dough recipe when I make pizzas at home. Definitely recommend Mountain House! read more

Thin crust pizza with sass In New York, need to have a thin crust pizza while here. There was a soccer match not that far, so we dragged one of the families along to try this place out. It's a funky little shack of a place, right off of a hipster downtown location. There was plenty of parking and plenty of seats inside. The decors is that of a 1980's Pizza Hut without the booths. The decor was simple and dated, but clean. The servers were a little hard to understand but understood us perfectly. We got mussels and a large "hawt swashedge" special pizza. The family we took along got a mix of chicken bites, pizzas, and chicken wings. The food came out quick, and we all dove in (I was only able to get some shots in) The mussels were nice and spicy. Meaty and no duds in the bowl. The family enjoyed the wings and chicken bites, everyone shared and the portions were plenty for our group of 6. The pizzas were wafer thin, almost cracker like. Cooked well and plenty of toppings. The pizzas were smaller, and they were promptly devoured. Being the old guy I am, I bought the two kiddos the Ultimate Oreo Waffle sundae. I am happy to report that it was worth the price. The giant mound of ice cream put in front of them was ogled appropriately and that made me smile. That too was promptly devoured. But the effect was worth it. I got a solo waffle ice cream sandwich for myself and that was tasty too. I really like the crispy waffles they make, so many places do pancakes with ridges. These were true crunchy waffles. This place is a really good pizza place, and if you get a chance feel free to give them a try! read more

I've been coming here for many years. It was always a great place to have Pizza and beer. We went on 04/04/2026. We ordered 4 pies and a salad. the salad was smaller than in the past and was very bland. The cheese pie was burnt. The garlic pie had 3 little clumps of garlic, the other 2 were supposed to have sausage and peperoni. I had to look hard to find any. Again, I am comparing this to the many times I have eaten here over 30 years. I asked for napkins, they never came. We had anchovies on the side but the waitress accidentally dropped them on the table upside down BUT then stared at me in an annoyed way and asked me if I wanted new ones. (I hope she reads this), No, I'll just eat them off the table top. I don't know if they just couldn't keep up with the dinner hour or maybe it's under new management. But if you cram that many tables into a place you have to assume they may be filled. I will certainly think twice about coming here in the future. Very poor evening out. read more

The food here was worth the wait! We came at the height of busyness, Friday evening for dinner. I had my parents go a little early and put their name on the list- about a 20 min wait. Not terrible but boy were the clientele there pushy mixed with an introverted hostess. Staff was clearly overwhelmed but the food came out quick and hot. The dining room was a bit packed and no place for people to wait so everyone sort of just stares you down for your table. Apparently was recently remodeled so I wonder what it looked like before but hearsay was that there is now more seating. We had 2 pies, both delish and thin crust! 10/10 We had the baked clams, vodka chicken parm bites ( yum & cheesy) , and wedgey salad- all yum 10/10 I'd go back for take out ( they have a drive thru pick up option) but would think twice about eating in , especially in a busy weekend night! read more

What a GEM The Mountain House is!!! The place is so clean and the decor is just so welcoming... The service is warm and friendly... Wine glasses filled to the prudent amount... Fried calamari was fresh, light, and not just rings... And the pizza is OFF THE CHARTS! They boast (as they should) that Dave Portnoy gave them an 8.2, but in everyone WE went with's book -- NO DOUBT A TEN!!! Topped off dinner with a "Smack-A-Waffle"... INSANELY CRISP AND SATISFYING! read more

It has been many years since we've been to the mountain house for pizza. We went on a Friday night and we got there a little after 5 o'clock in the place was slammed. There was barely any parking spots left. The entrance is very tight so it's very hard to wait there and it gets crowded and hot. They did have a high top at the bar that we just sat at instead of waiting for a table in the dining room area and this was fine. The service was a little bit slow because I think the waiter was overworked and had too many tables, he didn't check in to see if we needed more drinks so my husband just had to go to the bar to order another drink. They had a wrench on tap which he likes, but it was expensive at $11 a glass and they also had Guinness on top but no Guinness glasses. I had a cosmopolitan and it was fine. I don't think I would order it again. We started with the mozzarella sticks, which I forgot to take a picture of and they were delicious. They were crispy and gooey, and the sauce was divine. My husband and I split the godfather pizza which had meatballs on it, caramelized onion, and ricotta cheese. I thought the flavor was a little bland and it was missing something. The pizzas there are very thin crust. That is what they are known for on. Friday, Saturday and Sunday they do not make smalls they only make larges which I thought was important to note because we normally all like to go and get individual sizes and we weren't able to. We had to just get larges. There are a lot of pizza places in the area now so I don't think we'll be coming back here for another few years. One cool thing that they have is a drive-through that when you order pizza you can just pull up to the window and they'll pass you your pies. read more

The Mountain House has always been known for its pizza, which I find quite delicious, but they miss the bar when it comes to anything else on their menu. My friend ordered some Mac and cheese bites to bring home to me because I was working. When I opened up the to go container, it was just a bowl of Mac and cheese. Right off the bat, pretty disappointed it wasn't what I ordered, but I like Mac and cheese so I decided to eat it anyway. Mac and cheese has 2 ingredients...macaroni and cheese. This was the most flavorless cheese to ever be on pasta. There was absolutely no taste. I grabbed shredded cheddar cheese and even that could not remedy how awful it was. Not sure how someone could mess up such a simple dish. Very disappointed. Definitely will not order that again. Maybe I'll just stick with their pizza. read more

Some of the absolute best pizza you will find in the New York/New Jersey area. The ingredients are fresh and mouth watering. The service is top notch with every attention to detail met. Feel like your family with a cozy interior. A must if you are in the area. read more

Terrible experience. Rudest waiter. Came early because it's always bad service but unsurprisingly they disappointed. Will not come back after the attitude of the wait staff read more

Old-fashioned historic pizza parlor in a college town - you know what to expect. Busy even at "off" hours; frazzled though attentive wait staff; standard menu. Where you go for pizza. Everything else on the menu is for the rare person in the group that just has to be different . We ordered one large cheese pizza and a large salad, which was adequate for our party of three adults to share, for a mid afternoon lunch. The pizza crust was thin and crispy, the sauce tasty, and the cheese just right - not too much, not too little. There we're no complaints and everyone seemed satisfied. The round pizza was cut into about sixteen slices, which harkens to an earlier time when people didn't eat so much. It was actually perfect for sharing; no one had to slice off "just a little more." The salad was standard ingredients - lettuce, tomatoes, cukes and onions - but also included olives, which we noted as a nice addition. Balsamic dressing tasted home-made and was good. We were not looking for ambiance. Just for decent pizza and the opportunity to catch up in a low-brow environment, which we found. We did think the prices were a little high, given the food type, setting, and clientele. read more

Very tasty thin crust pizza is what you'll get here, at reasonable prices. My issue is mostly in their tendency to overcook the pizzas, I guess towards making a crispy bar pie. But when the cheese, pepperoni and crust turn black, that's just a bit too much...and that happens way too often at Mountain House. When I factor in their incredibly uncomfortable hard wooden chairs, I just can't give it more than three stars. read more

Hard to have disappointing service when you sit at the bar.... But that's the case at Mountain House. There was NO BODY attending. After finding a person to give my order - I was the only person ordering in the place - I hear a young lady scream from the kitchen 'That's Nasty!' - hardly reassuring words before recievibg your meal. To add insult to injury, my pizza was presented on a stand to elevate it from the bar.... From Which it promptly slid off of, onto the bar and then crashed on the floor. Despite that racket... NO BODY showed up to inquire/assist. It's read more

Wow, delicious and authentic pizzas made at this spot! There are so many amazing options you can choose from and we decided to go with the Godfather- meatballs, caramelized onions and ricotta dollop, it was soooo good. The pizza is thin crust so you won't feel as guilty eating the whole pie yourself!! Service and all staff were great and the restaurant has an old school authentic pizzeria charm to it. Large parking lot so parking isn't an issue! read more

Excellent thin crust pizza. We had the Margherita pizza and the Godfather. Both highly recommended and did not disappoint. Cheese pizza is ok. Good enough for the kiddos. Been wanting to try this place and glad that we did. Went through the drive through. Service was fast and friendly. 3% fee for credit card. Cash preferred. We would surely be back again read more

We have been ordering from the Mountain House for a few years and this was the first time they served me cold pizza?!? They said it would be ready in 30 minutes, I arrived on time and picked up my pizza. When I was driving back and grabbed a hold of my pizza - it was cold?!? I would have turned around but was hungry and ate it with extreme disgust. I am extremely disappointed since this was our favorite spot for thin crust. read more

Terrific atmosphere, very family style. The pizza absolutely delicious! . I enjoyed this experience.

Wow. HORRIBLE experience. I bet it could be good -- but don't dare get it for pickup, because you may never get it. I sat in their "drive thru" line, which is just sitting on the side of a very busy Orenburg rd. (How tf is that legal??) I was told my order would be ready in 45 minutes, but sat in the drive thru line for an extra 30. Received cold food and they wouldn't do anything about it, even after almost getting hit by an 18 wheeler in their takeout line. I even called while in line asking to come in and just get it, but they YELLED at me over the phone to not come inside. Called afterwards to share my experience and hopefully talk to a manager but was reprimanded again. F this place, also, how could Dave portnoy say it's his favorite pizza if he only gave it an 8.2. Clowns and liars. Never coming back. read more

Reviewing all my favorite places as I've just moved into the area. Been pizza obsessed and am excited to be living in an area with lots of great options. Found the Mountain House through a Barstool review. Great spot for thin crust. The drive thru comes in clutch. Just call and place your order (open after 3:30pm), drive up to the window and you're set. Having great pizza and that convenience will have me coming back regularly. Excited to try all that they offer outside of pizza read more

Did the ownership change? The pizza is still good but the service has really declined. Our server did not check on us once during our meal. We needed drinks for 20 minutes. When she did finally come by we just asked for the check. The portions for appetizers has changed as well. This used to be one of our go to places but I am not so sure it will remain in our rotation. read more

So my brother and I decided to have dinner here after a long day. We were greeted and could tell the staff was very angsty. They were rude, hurried, and not kind. the food was OK - there was a fly in my soda. The pizza has gotten much thinner over the years. Eh I miss the energy of the old place and staff. read more

Pizza was great, I had a plain large half pepperoni, and for that I'll give 5 stars. However, the amount of time it took my party to be seated was longer than the amount of time it took for us to get our food. Would come again, maybe at a less busier time... read more

Owner is an arrogant jerk ! We always order the same pizza whether ordering pickup or eating at the restaurant. It's tomato, garlic and basil and have them put the basil on after pizza is cooked. Have been for years. Today on Saturday we ordered that pizza for pickup. Checking the pizza when we picked it up, the basil had been cooked and there were onions on top. We are allergic to onions so that wasn't going to work. The woman at the pickup window said she told the kitchen exactly what I had asked for and would see if they could make another. Then the owner came to the window and said what we got is on the menu (true) and it's premade and refused to change anything. AT A PIZZA PLACE! We told him we have been ordering it that way for years and if he won't make the way we ordered, we'll take our money back. Arrogant owner, we had heard he was a jerk and that is certainly true. read more

This has officially been added to our favorite weekly pizza rotation. The cheese pizza is consistently made to perfection. Service is prompt and attentive. They have a great beer option, which of course goes well with pizza. We arrived right at opening, so it was quiet.
