Vesuvio Pizzeria & Ristorante

My boyfriend and I ate here while staying the night in Hazelton. My eggplant parm was fresh and cheesy, probably the best I’ve ever had. My boyfriend says his salad was great, nice and cheesy and fresh (grilled chicken and cheese salad).
Great place to eat if you’re in town!

Good thin crust pizza. We went here once and only had the thin crust pizza so thats all I can speak for. I wasn’t impressed with the ice tea that other people said was so good, nothing special. We were just passing through this town on our way to Syracuse, NY and decided to stop in for lunch. There was nobody here Friday at 1pm. Another couple came as we were leaving. The pizza is good if you’re on the road and need a fast goto spot. However, I wouldn’t go out of my way for this place. It’s not NYC style pizza, nothing like Joe’s, John’s, Bleeker st, etc. The thin crust pie was good but just average. Maybe all the five star reviews are from people who live in this small town and this is the best pizza shop they have. Tomorrow we will have utica greens pizza at Francesca’s Italian Kitchen in Liverpool, NY. Check it out if you want to know about a very good pizza place.

We ordered the stuffed veggie pizza for delivery. Delivery takes while. The pizza was huge, was good and soooooo filling. You never see handmade crust like that anymore. I would have given it more stars if the veggies had been fresh vs. Frozen. That would have really tipped it in. Still, a good meal.

Best pizza in hazleton almost teast like NY pizza lol. The employees are always friendly and well Spoken!

This was my favorite pizza place while growing up in Hazleton. Either going during the week for lunch or dinner or back in the day after a football game, Vesuvio’s was the place to be. While people were making their laps while cruising downtown, people always seemed to make a stop here.
There wasn’t anything on the menu I didn’t like. The problem was deciding on what to get each time I was her. My favorites were the Stromboli’s, hoagies and of coarse the pizza. The food was always constant no matter when you went of who was cooking, quality was definitely a main focus. Having the different slices and stomboli pieces in the window is a plus. Look at the many options and trying a small portion before getting an entire «pie». Something that is not offered in my current city.
The staff who was mostly family growing up and adding new employees over the years are always friendly and helpful. I miss coming here and being able to talk with the owners on a regular basis but when I’m in town I always stop in for a «slice and a tea» and talking with the owners who I grew up there with.

Although it has changed a little, the pie is still one of the best in town. Extra cheese and pepperoni is the way to go.

The Delivery to the hotel was quite fast. The pizza not bad… Just Ok. I would order from them again but try something different.

Wine was warm, pizza cool. Service ok. No sauce with the onion rings. Veggie Pizza was tasty despite no sauce. The Pork Heaven was very good.

Pizza and hoagies are nothing special. What I really love from Vesuvios are their sausage rolls. Also, on the plus side, the staff is very friendly.

Nice pizza, fair price. You could easily do worse.

Edit: does not seem the same as it used to be.

What was once a good little pizza place has long descended into hell over the past three years, first with the advent of selling beer and wine for both carry out (thus attracting the white trash and wino demographic) and dine-​in, and then with «expanding» their dining area, which was followed by a severe decline in food quality (so severe that the eaten food’s reluctance to remain in one’s intestines for more than 20 minutes is prevalent every time). This pizzeria used to be the best local-​owned one in town for the standard round and Sicilian pans; now it’s just one that can’t go out of business fast enough.

Excellent family run restaurant. Been in town for as long as I can remember. Don’t get pizza, don’t get pasta… GO FOR THE BAKED ITALIAN… Also they have a branch restaurant in the valley outside of town…

Besides the awesome pizza… try a baked Italian hoagie!!! I wish this place delivered to Connecticut!!!
