“Best Sicilian pizza!!“

“I recently had Sicily’s cater a family get together for my mom’s 70th birthday. We were impressed with the way the trays were packaged and how everything was so organized when conveniently delivered! The penne Vodka was the favorite! The chicken francaise was out of this world and a huge hit. We also had the sausage and peppers, meatballs, garlic knots and it was just wonderful. I Would definitely recommend having Sicilys cater your next event. And I would absolutely use them again in the future. Thanks to the owner who took the time to deliver everything and was so pleasant to do business with. Great local business to support!“

“I was talking to a friend of mine that must eat gluten free foods. She recommended this restaurant to me because I have another friend who can only eat gluten free. Yesterday we went to try it out! Fantastic!. My friend could not believe that wide variety of foods available. She even bought extra to take home. It was nice to see her so happy. I had "normal" Veal Parm sandwich and sweet potato fries. Excellent! It has now become our favorite!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Orchid Steakhouse in Bethlehem, PA. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt high end. The star of the evening, however, was our server Tony—friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability, making our dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. As for the food: absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully presented.“

“Stopped in for dinner and the food was delicious. I recommend the Fettuccini Alfredo Bread Bomb. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Great experience with great food!“

“Great place for good Italian food. Tina and Mama Rose are full of energy and make you feel like you’re sitting in their kitchen. The meals are deliciously. We will be back for sure! Bravo!!!!“

“Our server Andy was like a tour guide from the menu, the history, and showing us the improvements and additional beauty of the restaurant such as the 2nd floor and outside patio. He was very attentive and cordial to make the experience warm and enjoyable. I had the Crepe Valentina and WOW this was top tier and one of my favorite dishes ever! The seafood portions were perfect, the crepe was a lighter touch, and the sauce made the dish delish. And, after trying the Sangria Blanco, I had to get a 2nd one, which was perfectly crafted. I was born and raised in the LV, and with all of the restaurants coming in and out of the area, this is definitely one that I hope becomes a mainstay!“

“Amazing garlic knot sandwiches and super friendly staff! Loved my experience here :)“

“Great food and Italian sausage!!“

“Had a great dinner here. Everything was hot and fresh, the atmosphere was amazing and it was really clean inside. I think it might be the best italian restaurant in the Bath area.“

“I just happened to drive by the restaurant during dinner hour and noticed that the parking lot was filled, as compared to years ago. As a result, my interest was peeked and decided to Google them. Studied the online menu and decided to give them a try. Turns out we have a little Italian gem here in the Lehigh Valley. We have eaten at this warm, cozy restaurant three times in the last month. All three times the food was fresh and fabulous. The two front rooms are used for large group parties that I must keep in mind for in the future. The side rooms are cozy and rustic. Pasta and sauces are made fresh daily. Give a try - you will be impressed.“

“Absolutely fabulous restaurant that surprised my tastebuds dish after dish! iIt was worth the 2 hour drive to try this and exceeded my expectations. The staff was well versed on each plate served. I highly recommend you try this great gem ! I can't wait to return!“

“We have gotten take-out previously and our pizza was great. Decided to dine-in this evening and was very pleased with our food and service. We will definitely be back.“

“We found this restaurant online and we were coming to Bethlehem from Wayne, NJ. We made a reservation for 4 on Sunday at 3pm and arrived on time! We were met by our server Maddy and seated at a large table. The food and service were outstanding. We come from an area filled with Italian restaurants and we were so pleased that we wouldn't hesitate at all to drive back just to eat there again! The portions were large, came out exactly as we ordered them. The prices were excellent also. If you want a great Italian dinner or pizza, I highly recommend this place!“

“Well highly recommend La Bella Via for Catering they did a awesome job for our engagement party the food was delicious and hot was best Italian food i ever had . Sal and his workers phenomenal and so awesome to our family. Thank you again and God Bless you and your workers Truly appreciate it From Mr Brian Sutton and Christine Affa Mertz“

“Food is great, great atmosphere, great service!“

“Absolutely love this place! Hands down the best brick oven pizza downtown—and trust me, we’ve tried them all. The entire experience is smooth and enjoyable, starting with easy online reservations and plenty of parking in the nearby deck. The bar is fantastic, and the cocktails are consistently top-notch. I always kick things off with their complimentary cup of olives—such a great touch. Then it’s a delicious cocktail and one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had. The personal pizza comes out perfectly crisp and well done every time. I always finish with their cappuccino, which is the ideal way to end the night. This place is a hidden gem and one I can’t recommend enough!“

“Great “old vibe place”. My wife and I sat at the bar for a drink and ordered take out. The pizza is fabulous…thin crust (but not too thin) and the meatballs were outstanding!I grew up in the immediate vicinity and never ate here until now. I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes.Highly recommended according to this reviewer.“

“Excellent food and customer service. Our waitress was great. Very nice environment. Large servings. I think the sauces are homemade as they taste fresh. Has some of the best clans casino I ever tried. I got to the chicken fettuccine Alfredo for my meal. Went there with my family NY Eve. Highly recommend. Prices are fair for the area.“

“I’m making it my weekly duty to come in and order anything on your menu. I’ve been so impressed the last few times I’ve gone in. The penne vodka pizza is a MUST“

“I appreciated the friendliness from the wait staff. The food was of good quality and quantity for a reasonable price. I had the steak calzone with onions and recommend ordering it, however the personal pan size portion was so large that I only ate half and took the other half to go. Yesterday (March 25, 2023) was the first time I ever ate there.“

“Absolutely love the entire vibe of the place. The decorations are out of this world. The pizza and mozzarella sticks are some of the best in town. Highly recommend“

“I’m a lover of food. The vodka sauce is the best in the valley hands down!!!!“

“Our group has been gathering at Nick's for decades and they never disappoint. Great tasting food and wonderful staff.“

“Mariah is a fantastic server. She is so attentive to everyone’s needs and she’s extremely friendly with every interaction. Her service made the experience 100x better if not more. Will definitely be back and will ask for Mariah. Phenomenal person and service!!!“

“2/26/2025. We ordered two pizzas to be delivered. One was plain cheese….second one was a meatball pepperoni combo. Our order arrived very quickly. Pizzas were hot and ready to eat. We loved the quality ingredients. The crust and sauce set the stage for a very tasty bite. Crust was baked perfectly. It had great texture, flavor and the right chew factor. The delivery person was wonderful too. Bellas has been and will continue to be our go to for incredible pizza.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every time I visit my son we order food to be delivered from this restaurant. Well slice delivery driver took it to the wrong place and delivered it, and it went missing! Well, this restaurant owner felt so bad that they actually made us our food and delivered it within 15 minutes and made it right and I think that’s highly honorable! Their food is so delicious! From now on we’re ordering directly from them, no more middleman!“

“Very good at the time of eating and just seeing 1 single waitress covering the entire service at different tables makes me think that they need more like her with her discipline to teach young people, she was already 1 older person but very efficient, for her we will go again to enjoy with our palate!“

“Excellent food and drinks we will be back“

“Ate there with my friend. We both ordered the eggplant rollatini. She had the chicken soup, I had a salad with mine. Very good. Generous portions. Sauce had a nice tomato/basil flavor and the two eggplant rollups were good sized covered with melted mozzarella. There was a large portion of angel hair pasta and the garlic bread was delicious with just the right amount of garlic on top.“

“All of my birthday wishes came true at Pat’s Pizza. Burrata, Calamari, and my absolute favorite - Pasta Flights. BYOB and friendly/fast service. I will never not recommend Pat’s.“

“I have been ordering from Ray's for over twenty years, from way back when they were located on Pennsylvania Ave. The service is always great and the order is always ready on time. Some of my favorites over the years are the cheessteak stromboli, sausage rolls, steak sandwiches and of course the famous pizza! The food is always tasty and freshly made! I plan on ordering from Ray's for many years to come!“

“nice corner restaurant. tried the Grandma Pizza, excellent. Fresh dough and sauce. also tried the spaghetti with meatsauce, outstanding fresh taste. Highly recommend this place.“

“The best gluten free pizza I've ever had!! 👍🍕❤ Omg! SO SO good!!“

“Absolutely delicious! Ordered takeout and We had multiple stops until we got home. The mozzarella sticks were stock nice and crispy and all food still hot. We will definitely be going back.“

“Been coming here since they opened about 16 years ago. Every dish has been yummy and plentiful. When you leave Johnnies, you will be full. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and for the proportions you receive. The pizza is the best! The just right crispy crust with homemade tomato sauce and the cheese isn't greasy. Just right! Every time. I travel quite a distance just to eat there and it's worth the 45 minute drive. Sure I can go to other places, but the food, the portions, the atmosphere, the friendly staff, easy parking, the cleanliness, and the way they make me feel like I'm part of their family, makes it hard to go anywhere else. I also like that I can bring my own bottle of wine or any other adult beverage I may want to enjoy with my food. And Johnnie-the man himself- he is the Champion when it comes to making you the best food you will find in the area hands down. Once you try them, you'll understand my review. Thank you Johnnie for every meal and every pizza pie I've had from you. Nothing but the best!“

“Great food! Friendly and awesome service. Loved it!“

“Stopped at Leo’s for the first time tonight.. ordered 2 pizzas & garlic knots.. everything was delicious! The crust was perfect. Sausage & peppers added great flavor to an already delicious pizza!! Can’t wait to go back. My kids said it’s their new favorite pizza place. Clean & decorated nicely!“

“I just picked up a plain pie and knots from Villa about an hour ago for lunch with my family. My first time ever trying them and they were friendly, polite, and the food is great!“

“Absolutely the best, most authentic Italian cuisine you’ll find this side of the Atlantic. My wife & I had a fabulous time for my birthday a few years ago & we felt like royalty after our tour & several courses we asked them to wheel us to our carriage because we had trouble walking.“

“We just celebrated a 96th birthday last night at Pizza Village. We could not have asked for better service! The entire staff was so welcoming to all our guests, drinks (including from the bar) were brought out on a timely basis. Each guest (16 total) ordered from the menu. Our food was brought out all together, no one had to wait, and everyone’s order was correct and delicious! The wait staff kindly cut & served the cake. It was an absolutely enjoyable experience!!!“

“Just wanted to say thanks for always being consistent with my orders. It is always the way I order it, delivered on time and always bangin'!“

“We stopped for a quick lunch during restaurant week . We were amazed at the offerings. The food was hot and delicious, we even took some home, The server was exceptional, and meeting with the owner was a real treat. We plan to make this a go to place, and will most certaintly be back !“

“Lord, have mercy, we think ya'll have the BEST sausage and green pepper pizza 🍕“

“The food is Delicious - Best Chicken Parmigiana and Eggplant Parmigiana! So many great choices. Love their sauce. Will be back most definitely!“
