The Original Italian Pizza & Restaurant

Second visit to this location Dec 2025. First visit was impressive enough to return. Although not all in party needs to eat gluten free we search out spots that can accommodate all in a safe dependable manner. This restaurant has a whole page of their menu with gluten free options, many of which we’ve not seen at any other to date. To have options as a gluten free diner is an amazing feeling! Very much appreciated. As a side note the non gluten free dishes were all very tasty as well. Also impressed with how clean this restaurant is! You can see into portions of the kitchen and both times I was pleasantly impressed with just how clean it was. Not always the case at any busy restaurant. Tasty take away dessert (gf as well) and other food options and well as unique gifts are in the front

One of my favorite meals at this OIP! Look forward to this meal every time I come! We love their Cajun fries too!

My boyfriend and I went on a date here and it was a wonderful experience. I ordered a meatball sub with cheese and he ordered a large Stromboli. Food took a little bit to come out but it was okay because that gave us time to talk to each other. the waitress apologized to us for the wait and the food came out directly after that. It was amazing food, we enjoyed our meal and then as we were paying the server gave us 2 pieces of dessert to take home with us. I order take out from this restaurant a good bit but it was my first experience dining in here. We were not disappointed at all and were very happy with the quality of the food and how nice everyone was! We will be returning in the future!

this place may not really be the real "original" Italian pizza and restaurant, but it certainly is a classic. there is plenty of parking off of busy north Logan Boulevard between Lewistown and Yeagertown Pennsylvania. This is just a short hop off of state route 322. I definitely recommend the side trip if you are enroute to or from State College from Harrisburg. The service was hopping, and all of the staff were very attentive and accommodating. I mentioned I wanted coffee and our server immediately said she would brew a fresh pot for me. The food was truly classic Italian, starting with a generous serving of bread and a side salad. The main dishes were excellent and quantities were oversized. The decor and seating is booths much like a diner. But my artist partner says the murals and

Do not order subs and think they will be edible. Not as ordered,bread was hard,no oil and basically a salad when I unwraped it.i wonder if the owner knows or cares about the quality of food that walks out the door . I should have known when I drove up to the establishment at 7 pm on a Friday night and only 4 cars in the parking lot.....your chasing people away with your quality of food .....
