Alta Pizzeria & Pasta House

Great local pizzeria and authentic Italian cooking! Food is always fresh and flavorful, service is always on point. I usually order for pick up to take home but occasionally dine in their outdoor patio area. Indoor dining/seating is very spacious too. Everything on the menu is a win, you can’t go wrong on what you choose!

Years ago, I used to take my young children in here and enjoy pizza, which was usually pretty good. I decided to try the personal deep dish pizza and that was pretty good, one or two times. After that, I would order it, but it was never the same. Over the summer, I want to a local park festival where they were had their food truck, and I ordered a slice of pizza. I had a broken leg and was on a scooter. I saw them take the pizza out of the oven, but I didn’t get a slice of it. I waited and waited and I couldn’t take it anymore and I said give me back my money. So now I’m out a local farm, where their food truck is stationed all weekend long in October. I looked at the pictures on the side and I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich with a homemade roll. They did tell me it’s a real piece of chicken. I said okay I’ll take it along with one slice of regular pizza not heated and one slice of Sicilian heated. Well I don’t know what that is in my plain piece of pizza some big black thing. Is that an olive? Is that a really wet piece of basil? I have no idea. I hate olives so I hope it isn’t that. The chicken itself is burnt and it’s extremely thin and mushy. You can see here it’s terrible and looks nothing like the sandwich in the menu on the side of the truck. The flavor of the chicken itself isn’t bad but it’s just about not edible at all. The roll is burnt on the outside and drenched with all this sauce on the top and bottom insides. Sauce doesn’t go on top of the mozzarella cheese. So the bottom bun is soaked and disgusting and the top bun is all wet and burnt on the outside. And there’s not enough cheese on this. Disgusting and disappointing. This lovely meal cost me $17. Places always want to tip but I don’t give those tips anymore. For what? And they have like five people in there. Be attentive and do your job. I want my money back. I can honestly say this is the very last time I’m ever going to give this local business a try. As others posted in here, there are issues with waitresses and poor quality inside the restaurant, and with taking way too long. I don’t even know how they’re still in business to be honest. I also asked for this to go, meaning, I want my sandwich wrappped nicely, and the pizzas should be separated with the hot one separate from the cold one. Instead they crammed it all into this little box that couldn’t even close. The farm is on a hill and I’ve got to walk in the dirt across the highway, with a sort of broken leg that I’m nursing, and i have to walk with a cane. The box had tape on it but it couldn’t possibly close, and the flaps were out which means the hot food is getting cold as I’m walking. That’s so disappointing. How do they stay in business? I just don’t get it. People just must be used to eating poor quality. I don’t even know if the birds would eat this that’s how nasty it is.
… after I wrote this, I proceeded to try to eat some of the dry parts of the bottom bun and it tastes like soap.

We got our food from door dash so I can’t comment on the restaurant experience but I am giving a 5 star on the food alone.
We got a square pie which was very good although the cut was extremely uneven. We also got a cheesesteak Stromboli and that was very good as well. My biggest reason for the 5 star review is the penne ale vodka. When we travel I try to look for restaurants who have it. I have tried many many different versions and this one was absolutely in my top 3! If you are a fan of this type of dish, do yourself a favor and get this one!
We also recently met the owner at an award ceremony and he was very nice!
I would highly recommend this place!
Well done Alta!

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the Hazleton area. Not only is the pizza wonderful from the crunchy crust and great tasting sauce but the stuff shells and homemade bread was great. Only thing I regret is not having a bigger stomach to eat more. I recommend anybody that wants to have a great dinner for the family to order from this place very happy with the food. My family and I thank you for the great experience.

Just visited for the first time. Love the homey feel the dining area has. I ordered the chicken Marsala, it was well worth it. The serving size was more than I could eat, the pasta wasn’t over cooked, the chicken was breaded, mushrooms were tender, and the flavor of the Marsala was just right (not over powering). The owners and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Weekend lazy diner. Ordered side of fried meatballs. 1 of 3 were a bit overdone but all very tasty. We also had the Panina Cilentana hoagie and a personal sausage roll. Both of these items were absolutely delicious. The hoagie was packed with imported meats and cheese. It was so filling that 2 of us ate 2 meals from this. Wonderful!

Wonderful experience at Alta Pizzeria & Pasta House, 380 S. Poplar St. Hazleton, Pa on December 15, 2023. The group that I was with were warmly welcomed by the very friendly staff. The food was really delicious, hot where appropriate and appealing in presentation. Their chicken soup was amazing and generously provided in a bowl. We all loved the bread used for our sandwiches. So soft and fresh. My friend ordered the Panino Cilentana that kept me drooling. I had a wonderful pepper, egg and cheese sandwich as I wanted a hot meal. The fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. I couldn’t believe how much value was provided in 2023 terms. This is a real gem in Hazleton’s eating scene. Check out the photo of the two chefs, heroes of the kitchen who made us such a great lunch! I told them we’re going to put Alta Pizzeria and Pasta House on the map! I highly recommend! Note: Their patio looks fund to hang out on.
Summer cannot come again soon enough! Like the photos and review!

A meal with family is a success when the food is delicious, but so much better when the service is family like. I was visiting and when I get back to Hazelton this is the only place I’m taking family to dinner.

Atmosphere may not be five stars for everyone but I thought so. Happy 31st Anniversary!!
