Affinito Pizza Parlor and Cafe

Came in on a Friday right after visiting my brother from the hospital got a Brooklyn Pizza told it would take 55 minutes. Ended up almost taking two hours. And to be honest, the pizza tasted no different from their regular pies and ended up paying almost $26 for the pizza. I expected better from this place, given the good reviews and word-of-mouth advertising. Don’t get me wrong. The taste of the pizza was pretty good, but I do not like to have burnt crust seems like they were overwhelmed and could not handle all the orders coming in beings they are only open from 4 to 8. It’s a very small place so if you’re going to order, I would do it early. I ordered around 5:30 but it wasn’t ready till 7 :20 The best part was talking to the people that were also waiting quite a few that were told a time, but they are also waiting about an hour. Or more another bad part is the only accept cash most places now get charged for using credit cards so they pass along to their customers. I guess that’s why they don’t use credit cards but there are other places that use credit cards that do not pass along the fee for using a card so it’s up to the individual restaurant I guess. Like I said for the most part, the ingredients they use are top-notch good tomatoes, good cheese. The pizza dough is pretty good as long as it’s not burnt I don’t mind paying $26 for a pizza as long as it’s not burnt and use as good ingredients but the pizza I got is no different than a regular pizza that you normally get.

We have lived in the Lehigh Valley for nearly 10 years and have tried lots of pizza places, Affinito hands down is the best. We have tried both their white and red style pizzas and have loved it all. In addition we have tried their salads (Italian salad is amazing) and garlic knots which were also delicious. The cook is absolutely perfect and this pizza even reheats amazing. This place outshines all competitors in the area, 10/10 recommend! Just an FYI, cash only!

Why did you make me wait so long for such good pizza? ? I will never eat pizza anywhere else in my life. It’s so tasty, everything they serve is. Cheese steaks, chicken Parm, so many diff kinds of pizza. The staff is so sweet as well as the owner. Zepolis out of this world.

So good! So crispy! So flavorful. My family and I enjoyed two pies: Tomato Basil and Pepperoni. This is definitely the best we’ve found in the Lehigh Valley. It’s definitely a taste of NY! The service was great too, even right before closing.

One of, if not THE best in the area, and I've enjoyed it every time I've ordered. The pizza is delicious and has a good bite to it, unlike some other places that are doughy and undercooked. High-quality ingredients and the staff are very nice. I just hope it doesn't start to get too busy and end up becoming impossible to get a pizza, but I'd understand if it did because they are that good.
