Senape's Tavern Pizza

First, a few reviews here rate and comment on the Senape’s bakery pitza. The bakery is under different ownership than Senape’s tavern and that pitza is completely different. Several people are confused. Senape’s Tavern is a tough review because there’s nothing like it! It’s the pitza by which I judge all square Sicilian type pizzas. We did square scamutz with sausage (pictured) and square scamutz plain. It was perfectly done with the scamutz caramelized over the edge. Sauce is more tangy than sweet, which pairs well with the scamutz cheese. This is opposed to the sweet sauce used on “old forge” style of pizza NEPA can be known for, nor do they use scamutz cheese. Senape’s blows Old Forge style out of the water in my opinion. I would rate higher but need to leave some room to score higher in the unlikely event I find something better.

Old school place, old school pizza. I try to eat here once every 6 months. Get a tray of the square extra scamutz, a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheese. If you’re lucky you’ll get a piece where the cheese has melted over the crust and get a little crispy. This pitza is so good I rarely ever from getting anything else on the menu. If your in the mood for a variety of their pitza toppings give the Senapetizer a try. Call your order in ahead of time. There is nothing fancy about the dining area, a few family pictures on the wall along with some Yuengling local beer signs. Enjoy the checker table cloth and take care of your waitress!

One of the Best Pizza in Town! Typically go with Extra Schamutz. Pepperoni and Sausage are always great. Square pie is the way to go. Crisp bottom. One tip is to let it cool off a little first.

Hazleton Tradition!
