“My husband and my drive from ELYSBURG to Harvey’s Lake to Grottos because not only is the pizza delicious but also for our favorite waitress Pam G. Pam is always so nice and friendly to not only us but also to all of the other customers and staff. What a joy it is to always see her smiling face…plus the pizza is out of this world!!!! Marty”

“Delicious food and extremely friendly staff. Definitely the best food cart in Wilkes-Barre area. Healthy, protein packed, and many vegan options. It keeps you full but energizes you instead of feeling heavy.”

“We're on board with, and on record as saying to all our friends that, MVD is our favorite spot. But since we like trying new places too, we had to come back for the first time in over a year. It's not just the variety of tapas options, or the incredible wine selection, or the impeccable hospitality that will keep you coming back; it's the culinary journey rarely taken where the food transports you and you just sit back speechless thinking, “that was IT, where has this been?” You'll leave completely stuffed, and they'll be drinks… lots of drinks; but the concoctions are adventurous and more than worth trying a few of, and that's before you get to the wine list. They know their stuff; they travel the world to find inspiration for their own curated menu, but bring lesser-known varietals to the forefront that really challenge your palate and leave you needing to speak directly to the associate at the wine and spirits store, in the best way possible. If you have an unoaked chardonnay available, I immediately like you! You don't have to wait long once you order for those tasty shareable plates to come firing out; they're quick, efficient but also know how to help you pace your meal. Funny thing about this meal (that we shared with another couple we go touring with) is that it turned into a Catholic-guided, Lent-abiding seafood extravaganza, which was not necessarily our goal on approach. I love when a place really surprises you with things you wouldn't typically think to pair together or even order, and they become some of your favorite things altogether. Case in point, the escargot; most escargot I've ever had was rubbery, soaked in butter and masked with garlic. None of that was going on here, and they even did the work for you with the shells. Anything fried (empanadas, yuca fries, oysters, seabass tacos) had a very even, full but thin breading. Not a trace of residual oil, nothing heavy about it and still the right temp inside to not blast the filling. I really enjoyed the oysters, and the pickled radish and shallot would be good as an accompaniment for ANYTHING. The chimichurri is spot on, and anytime it appears on the menu, which it does several times, you should get those items. The butter sauce with a camarones was drinkable, the empanadas never disappoint, and the almond tart with wine-poached pears for dessert was literal perfection. Overall, our favorite drink was the Holy Smokes and they have a team-oriented approach to presenting dishes table side. Fun and friendly, the staff is knowledgeable, patient and has great personal recommendations, all with legit culinary knowledge. Go…like, now!”

“Good People, Good Tea, Good Place !!!”

“Friendliest staff, food is yummy and consistent, old school and relaxed environment.”

“Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn’t greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it’s probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn’t even have to specify (that’s my Dunkin’ hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn’t too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There’s table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done!”

“The BEST PIZZA! Wing pizza with blue cheese/pizza cheese/wing sauce and their famous red sauce! It’s just awesome! It hits the sweet side and a bit of spice !! Just too good! There’s no pizza that comes close! Yummy! Along with any other pizza with toppings! Win win !”

“We ordered the party pails for my son’s birthday party and they were great! You’re given the coolers, scoopers, spoons and cups. The staff was great to work with and the kids loved the Italian ice at the party. I will definitely order again and 100% recommend!”

“This is a traditional pizza parlor with a few booths to eat in, or at the bar where there are 2 regular height tables and 2 6-seat high tables. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great pizza!”

“Best pizza I’ve ever had, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and it’s still the same. Wings are outstanding and I love their signature pizza with no onions.”

“Their pizza is the best pizza I’ve ever tried in my life! We travel 50 minutes 1 way from Benton to get it. I always get the Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza with sweet sauce and thick crust and my fiancé always gets the chicken wing pizza with thin crust. We have never tried anything else off their menu only bc we’ve been obsessed with the pizza we get from day 1. Great place and I recommend them to anyone who loves a good pizza!”

“Best subs and prices around. Their service is always awesome. Their subs and produce are a staple in our household. my son loves picking his own produce. Such a family friendly place to go.”

“First time today. Got the Chicken Hibachi. It was excellent and price was very fair. Will be back!”

“nice restaurant! if ii lived closer I would frequent more often.”

“Their ice cream is the best around !! I like all their ice cream choices !! ❤️🐄”

“Drove by this pizza place several times but just noticed it tonight. Hubby was driving so I googled it and we turned around to give them a try. I was a bit nervous because the pizza boxes seemed a bit light when bringing them to the car. They were pretty thin pizzas. Man were they good!! I really enjoyed the thin crust too. They were not too thin, just perfect actually!We will definitely go back for more. The prices were not bad either!”

“Clean and beautiful establishment owned locally. The menu is of good size and delicious. The dogs and brats are unique but not too far off from what you’d be used to. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommend!”
