My brother Jason and I are always exploring places we haven’t been yet. That comes to restaurants as well. A weekend in NEPA almost always included the amazing pizza options we are blessed from living in an immigrant community that started wayback when coal mining brought people from all over the world. That said, our Italian community always shows up with all the different styles of pizza found here from Old Forge style, Pan fried Sicilian, New York style, thin crust, and bar pies and all the styles in between. As good as they all are, nothing is more comforting than the ultimate peasant food. A tray of red or a tray of white. Since we have been eating at Arcaro and Genell since we were kids, it only seemed fitting to finally give Arcaro’s the Next Generation a try. My apologies for waiting so long. The current owner Francine Arcaro had dreamed of opening her own restaurant. She has been chasing that dream since 2018 serving great pizza and Italian food. There is more to share with her personal story, but this isn’t the place. I just wanted to tell anyone in NEPA or those visiting, get over to Pittston Township and see how perfectly Old Forge pizza is represented at Arcaro’s the Next Generation. All the Old Forge type pizza places in our area all tweak there recipes by changing up the sauce, mixing the cheese bends and varying the crust. We tried a tray or red and white. Both were amazing. Trying to decided which tasted better is like picking a favorite child - impossible. Order both. Loved there red. Perfect ratio of crust, to sauce to cheese ratio. That creamy cheese blend was to die for. I won’t give away any secrets, but anybody in the know could narrow down that creamy cheese bland. We complimented our two trays of pizza with a cold beer on tap a s side of Stromboli (wink wink). Always love going home with leftovers. Two much for two brothers, but we sat there in this well lit, super friendly, well decorated place any truly enjoy a cut from heaven. Old Forge Pizza is a perfect NEPA tradition. Whether it is on Main in street in Old Forge proper or the surrounding towns. It is a treat that should be indulged in every weekend. Stop by today and eat-in or grab it to go and bring along to your favorite event! Highly recommend Arcaro’s the Next Generation. Can’t wait to try their gnocchi and other pastas on our next visit. Be a part of history and eat some Old Forge pizza today at 2 Bryden Street, basically at the corner of Oak Street and the Pittston ByPass.

My Wife and I stopped for Dinner. Italian Stromboli was delicious, dough and ingredients were very good. Shrimp and peppers pizza , crust was crispy on bottom, lots of toppings. Server was very nice.

Never ordering here again. Food was late, arrived cold, and the restaurant blamed the delivery guy - which I highly doubt it was his fault. If they can’t handle the volume, they need to get rid of DoorDash, etc. Quality is more important than quantity.

Ordered an Italian hoagie, wing bites and mozzarella sticks 1 hour before close. Was told 35 mins, showed up 40 mins later to a practically empty parking lot. Paid and waited another 20 mins without any other customers coming in for pick ups to be told the mozzarella sticks weren’t done and we weren’t getting them. No care for customer satisfaction at all. Never again and I wouldn’t recommend spending a dime or a minute of time here for a business that cares nothing for the people who pay them to have their business.

Ordered a cheese pizza, Stromboli and gravey fries. All of it would have been better hot, but I'm not recommending anything from this place. Stromboli would have been decent if it had a little meat in it.
Great pizza + sweet red sauce
