Genotti's - Moosic, PA

Double-crusters are particularly popular around Old Forge. The configuration is well-suited for this steak and cheese pizza, which we see as an ode to the cheese steaks of Philadelphia.

Why not? Linda, chef and proprietor, told us she tops her breakfast pizzas with eggs, pig meats, tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, and onions.

Broccoli in the foreground; white pizza in back. Note the thickness of the crust and its shape from baking in a square pan.

We came to the neighborhood looking for Old Forge pizza at the wrong time of day. The legendary pizzerias serve at night. But for lunch, Genotti's gave us a good taste.
