Had dinner at this pizza place last weekend. The crust was thin and cooked just right, not too soggy, which I appreciated. Toppings were fresh, and the cheese melted nicely over everything. The service was friendly, though it took a little longer than expected to get our order. The restaurant had a cozy vibe, felt comfortable to just sit and eat. Prices seemed fair for the portion sizes. Overall, it was a decent experience and I’d consider going back if I’m in the area again.

I LOVE going here for cheese steaks. They cost a little more than other places but definitely well worth the extra money. They are the biggest cheese steaks I've found in the Allentown area. Always stuffed with plenty of meat and service is quick. You should definitely give this place a try.

Salvatore Ruffino’s Pizza is absolutely delicious! The crust is perfectly crispy, and the sauce is amazing—full of flavor and freshness. It’s a really nice restaurant, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, delicious bite to eat. One of the best slices I’ve had in Allentown!

Great straightforward pizza at a decent price. Keeping dollars local is easy when the food is this good.

We used to be semi-regular customers here at Salvatore Ruffino's but after this experience, we’re DONE. This evening, I called to place an order and explained my request clearly from their own menu. The staff member then put me on hold and, not realizing I could hear, told someone else he couldn’t understand me. When I asked what part wasn’t clear, his response was, “Don’t you think you have an accent?” The irony is he had no problem at all understanding me when it came time to take down my credit card details. On top of that, he wasn’t even familiar with their own flyer they had mailed out themselves, which made the whole interaction even more frustrating. I have lived in the United States for close to 30 years, and I speak clear English. It may not have been the language I was born with, but it is the language I use at home, at work, and everywhere else. In fact, I can’t remember the last time anybody complained — it has been decades. I know the difference between me not being clear and someone simply having a problem with people who speak with accents. This is unacceptable behavior anywhere, but especially in a diverse community like Lehigh County where people of many backgrounds live and work. If you cannot respect or understand customers, then you should have trained staff who can take phone orders without mocking them. To be treated with such disrespect and then hung up on after I canceled my order was offensive and unprofessional. We will never return and will share this experience so others know how this business treats people. I hope they straighten their ways to gain trust again.

First timer here. All I can say is Wow! The Pizza was very good. We all agreed that the garlic bites and mozzarella sticks were some of the best we have had. The garlic bites had just the right amount of garlic and oil. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

Best cheesesteak I had in years, a bit pricy at $14 but sometimes quality is worth it. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

I grew up with this pizza. Left Allentown and came back decades later and it is still the pizza I judge all others against. I just love it. It is so nice they have survived and thrived. Well Done.
