Cebula’s

By far the best pizza in the area and we have tried it all. I was born and raised on this stuff as are my kids… Every person we brought here begs us to return! By no stretch of the imagination is this your standard NEPA pizza and thats what makes it so perfect… Everything from the service to the décor that time forgot makes this a do not miss!

My boyfriend and I have been together a few years so I’ve had the pleasure of trying a variety of different NEPA-​style pizzas. His family has been eating this pizza for years and every time we go up to visit, I insist that we get a tray of some type of pizza. There really isn’t pizza like this back where we live (in Baltimore).
Cebula’s, so far, is MY FAVORITE. I didn’t grow up with pizza like this, but they’ve really won me over. The slices are thick squares and covered with sweet pizza sauce and the gooiest, most delicious cheese you’ll ever have. My boyfriend says the pizza looks like Freddy Kreuger’s face and yes, he’s right, but ignore the «look» of the pizza and just focus on the TASTE. The cheese is somehow really soft, but the edges crisp up after being in the oven. The sauce on the pizza is hearty, flavorful, and does have a tinge of sweetness, which I love. I believe that it’s $ 18 a tray, slightly more expensive than other pizza places in the area, but it’s definitely worth it. Also, they aren’t open every day of the week so call ahead before you make the drive over. We usually place an order and it’s ready in 20 minutes or so. Another tip is that they do have a bar inside and the drinks are insanely cheap…

If you come to NEPA there are so many choices for good pizza. But there is one place that is truly the only pizza joint that can be labeled unique. And that is Cebula’s. Breaking all preconceived notions of what pizza is, this Polish-​style goodness differs every night. No two slices are alike. One night it an be airy and doughy. The next night it could be dense and chewy. The cheese — a mixture of some sort that must include cheddar and possibly American — is creamy and often delightfully slightly burned. The sauce sweet and stewy. And the burgers are homemade and fresh daily with now flavor. If you’re a curmudgeon about pizza who only believes it can be round and uninteresting, this is not your place. If you are open minded and really want to experience something truly original and breathtaking, there is no other choice.

OK. I am going to have to change my name and my address after this review, but I have to be honest… I’m not the biggest fan. I know a bunch of people who LOVE this pizza. My boyfriend’s family in particular goes there every week. He always gets it well done, so the cheese is a little crisp and a little burnt. It’s not terrible pizza by any means, but I don’t find myself craving it or getting excited about it like I do other slices in the plethora of pizza places around NEPA. My mouth is usually like, «Meh… okay. Fine.»
The slices are square, and the crust (pretty good) is a dry, flaky kind. Heavy. The sauce is decent — a bit sweet. The cheese has to be a mix of some sort. American and Scamutz (Scamorza)? American and Provolone and Cheddar? I’m not sure. But it’s got a combination of creamy (american) and crispy (makes me think of a lower-​moisture content cheese). It’s an interesting slice, but not my favorite. YOU, like a lot of my pittston friends, might love it.

Pizza is delicious and different than any other place. Dough is potato-​y. Service is great.

Cebula’s is a pretty unique pizza. Not my favorite pizza in the area, but it is pretty good. My only gripe is the place isn’t that clean. If it was cleaner, I would probably eat here more often.

Epic! Amazing one of a kind pizza. Retro bar and dining area. Very cheesy with the famous burnt patches of cheese. Dough is crusty and uneven which makes it old world delicious. Sauce is almost like a puréed stewed tomato sauce.

Pizza is a very cheesy well balanced sweet yet spicy sauce on a heavy square dough… not a pizza made by buying pizza shells from one of the local bakeries… but made from scratch… love it or hate it… it’s a one of a kind pizza.

The most amazing pizza I have ever had. My family has eaten here for years and although we dont live in the area anymore we still make trips specifically for Cebula’s pizza. They will sell you frozen trays too if you call ahead and arrange (yes, we totally pack a cooler and bring several frozen pizzas home. They defrost perfectly in the oven).

The absolute best pizza. When I worked in the area, we would stop by frequently after work. Get a bunch of friends together, order a tray of pizza and a couple of pitchers of Yuengling, play some oldies on the jukebox, and party!

I was born and raised with this amazing Polish pizza and it just does not get any better. No, this is not a fancy place and it is pricey. Think of your grandmother’s kitchen for good, home cooked, quality food.
It is a different type of pizza compared to the traditional pizza, but it is well worth the try. If you try and and are not a fan, don’t worry! They have an array of other food items like boneless buffalo bites, burgers, sandwiches as well as reasonable bar prices.
You want wholesome tradition? Come here. It’s amazing and you’re pizza life will change forever!

Hands down some of the best pizza. Its Potato dough and cheesey gooey goodness. I think its up to about $ 2.50 a slice if not more and I pay it regardless because there is no other like it. I recommend takeout because it fills up fast and seating is limited. Also they only open Wed-​sat or Sun

I read all the other reviews I could find, I agree with the one who said people either love it or hate it, and I am one of those people that hated it. The first thing this pizza reminds me of is school cafeteria pizza or that Nardone Bros. Pizza you get in the square box at the super market. It’s just bleh to me, the cheese is the kind that sticks to the roof of your mouth, there is a taste of flour on the bottom on the crust also that was very unappealing. The price was ridiculous for what I got, I could have gotten two of what I believe to be one of the best pizza’s in NEPA for the price of one from here.
On the other hand my sister loves it, but she also loves the Nardone Bros. Pizza. So I would say if you have similar taste, this pizza might be for you. But I absolutely disagree that this is anywhere near the best pizza in NEPA, far from it.

Went to this place a few weeks ago after hearing such great things. Words do not do this place justice! This was the first place where I ordered a few slices of pizza and had to cut it with a fork and knife. The pizza was so tasty with the wonderful melted cheese and flavorful sauce. The potato bread was definitely a different flavor as well! I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a HIGH quality pizza, plus they have very good drink deals/​prices. I am looking forward to going to this place again very soon!

This is definitely my favorite pizza. So different from any other pizza so I can’t really compare it, but it’s so so good! Small local type bar, but still a good time. But I just go for the food ;)

Great pizza. Very different from anything else you’ve ever had. Old coal miner bar with back room dining room. I love it there but don’t expect fine dining.

The pizza is a bit greasy, crispy and with well done cheese but it is DELICIOUS. Pizza is different to everyone and Cebula’s has it’s own signature on pizza. The pictures here do it justice. It’s a dive bar so I suggest getting it to go and enjoying it at home.

This is not a fancy restaurant. It’s a dive bar/​glorified VFW with great pizza. Don’t go to Cebula’s and expect five star service, atmosphere or options. If you plan on going, sit at the bar, have a few Yuengling Lagers and order two pieces of pizza. Absorb the absurd conversations that happen around you and then move on to wherever your next destination may be.
If you want cloth napkins, a salad fork, and for the wait staff to fall all over you like you’re a king… you’ll be better off at someplace where the rest of the patrons keep their noses in the air. That said, if you follow my instructions, you’ll LOVE Cebula’s.
