Local Culinary Gems
Old Forge in southwest Lackawanna County is so well known for its unique style of rectangular pizza it’s been called “The Pizza Capital of the World.” We invite you to see if you agree! With more than 160 pizza shops throughout Lackawanna County, we’ve created a Pizza Trail to narrow that list down to 55+ local favorites.
But pizza is just the beginning! The entire county’s dining scene extends from casual bites to upscale dining, featuring diverse cuisines that cater to every palate. (Cooper’s Seafood House is so beloved it was mentioned on The Office.) And if the weather’s nice, Lackawanna County has plenty of options for outdoor dining. Many restaurants are pet-friendly as well!
