The pizza and cider are amazing. The Detroit style supreme is now a must get and the standard cheese pizza was so good my picky 3 year old ate her entire personal pie. And the ciders are sweet yet tart and pair very well with the pizza. All staff is super friendly and I think it will be our Thursday tradition.

We had the Detroit style pizza. It was very good. We also had a salad, which was ok, nothing special. Definitely make a reservation. It is a small place. I would go back to try the regular pizza and the meatballs.

This place I will say has the best wood oven pizza in the valley Andrew and Julia what a great service they provide the place I love it and I will definitely go back again to eat their delicious pizza! Thank you Andrew for making me the pizza I wanted was not on the Menu but you made it happen was delicious!

The place is right next to railway tracks with constant traffic so it's not ideal if you want a quiet environment on a Friday evening. The pizza crust was somewhat dry. The upper part flavor was great though.

Did not enjoy my meal at Switchback. Pizzas were starchy and bland. None of the three components (crust, sauce, cheese) impressed.
The Detroit-style pizza felt like a worse version of Mama’s Too square slices. It had the crispy cheese edges but the dough was more wet and gummy; the sauce and cheese were not strong enough to meaningfully flavor the thick layer of dough. Bland.
The margherita felt like it was going for a Neapolitan style but the dough was not light nor puffy enough. It just felt wet and limp. And it lacked the salt or basil to give it any lift. As I said, bland.
But the worst was the cider flight. The ciders were contaminated with brett. Safe to drink, but smelled distinctly fecal. I took a sip of each and asked them to take the flight away.

Great place to get some gourmet pizza! Friendly staff, the pizza had fresh ingredients and the crust was amazing. It is a smaller place, so call ahead because it is popular! Looking forward to our next visit.

They are amazing I love that they work with local farms to create amazing dishes. The staff are always extremely friendly. The fermented dough crust is literally the cherry on top. Love this place.
I went on a solo date to the Emmaus farmers market, and then walked over to switchback for lunch. Farmers market closes at 1, and the restaurant opens at 12, so it’s a very convenient, but also delicious lunch option after doing all the walking and shopping! I had their Corn, Sweet Corn pizza without the bacon, and their chocolate mouse. The non alcoholic spritz is incredible as well. This is an underrated spot

The best pizza you can get in the Lehigh Valley…hands down. Fresh local ingredients, perfect crust that is neither too thin nor too thick, a creative seasonally-changing menu, great ciders, and friendly neighborhood service.
