“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!“

“This is the best Italian Restaurant in the Lehigh Valley! The food is fantastic! Allasandra and Jack treat our son Travis like a King everytime we come for Dinner. We were there to celebrate Travis' Birthday on Saturday night. They had balloons and a Birthday Card waiting for him at our table. Their Service and attention to detail is excellent. Thank you for everything!

“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!“

“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.“

“LOVE this amazing family market/deli/restaurant!! Their food is the freshest you will ever find! Delicious genuine imported food products. Incredible home made foods, already prepared or to go. Friendly staff at both locations!! The ONLY thing I'd like to see added is the ability to order & pay on line.“

“I ordered the heart pizza special with garlic parm and hot n honey wings and WOW! Food was amazingly delicious. It was my first time ordering from here and my family and I will be back again. Customer service was wonderful and the women working at the counter were very kind. We will be back again! Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day wonderful! ❤️“

“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 food! We just had a very nice friend Christmas get together and the food was spectacular! I took home the olive oil cake and WOWWWWW! Just wow! It might have been, hands down one of the best desserts.“

“We have been here twice. Thus pizza by far is THE best around!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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“

“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.“

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

“We placed a large catering order. Everything was perfect and delicious!“

“Excellent food and drinks we will be back“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“We visited Pat’s on our weekend away to Christmas City. The food was absolutely delicious. Made fresh, great prices and wonderful service. I would highly recommend the flight of pasta. The pizza was delicious too. If we ever make our way back out to Bethlehem, we will be stopping g at this little gem again!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“Villa grande was a hit this past weekend at a family party. I would definitely recommend for any catering needs . Arrived hot and so delicious. Shrimp scampi, chicken parm, fettuccine alfredo, and their delicious salad with bread. Thank you 😊“

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

“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 !“

“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'!“
