Ferri’s Pizza

I love the Old Forge Pizza. Great place to take the kids. This past time we tried the Buffalo Wing Pizza and it was amazing. One of the more unusual restaurants around with all the collectors items from the coal mines. It’s a little museum like. I’ll drive here any time.

This is the Old Forge style pizza I grew up eating and I love it. I think some of the reviewers who had a bad experience expected NY style and this is not that! My family and I were driving through Moscow and decided to try Ferri’s. I was super-​excited to find out that it’s run by the same family who ran the one in Dunmore for years. I was even happier that the pizza tasted exactly the same as it did when I was a kid. The staff was very friendly and talked with us for quite a while. Six stars!

Absolutely horrible experience. Credit card machine was broke and they told us we had to wait after we ate til the repair guy would show up. Then the owner continued to berate me in front of customers because i didnt have any more than $ 5 cash on me. Told his waitress that me and my wife were probally lying saying the machine was broke so we would get free food. After that i said nevermind ill take my business elsewhere. He came out and got in my face and told me to get the F out and pretended to call the police. all because his card machine didnt work. A family sitting down also got up and left when they heard the owner say the F word infront of the 4yr old child. And the roaches playing around on his sad excuse for a coal mining museum were a nice touch to scare anyone away also.

1. Pizza taste like cardboard
2. Twice my order was refused because they just got in a «big order». WTF, who turns away business!
3. Opens at noon and can’t handle an order at 12:20?

Ferri’s is certainly unique. Many locals swear by their potato pizza, I find it a little too heavy. Their regular pizza is different than most, with a cheese that sticks to the roof of your mouth. But I find that whenever I’m in Moscow, I crave Ferri’s. If you’re looking for Italian or New York style pizza, this is not the place.

This place is close to a 3.5 hour drive one way for me. But don’t take a drive based on my 4 star review. Read on to see WHY you should be going there.
First off, don’t go here for the pizza. One reviewer mentioned it’s like Ellio’s pizza you’d find in the freezer of your supermarket. I got a pizza and only ate it because I was hungry. It was alright, but I wouldn’t buy it again. Now, I like a New York Style pizza, but I’m definitely not anti-​NEPA pizza or anti-​thicker crust rectangles. It’s just not that good of a pizza. Is this even considered NEPA? If you’re into NEPA pizza, you’re better off reading reviews on my buddy’s website. It’s all he does.
Now you’re thinking to yourself, that’s a bad review. but you gave it 4 stars. Well, now on to the good part.
They only make this during lent each year. Pierogie pizza. It’s fantastic! Loaded with potato, cheese, onion, and spices on a pizza crust. Almost the best pizza I’ve ever had. Super filling. The story is some little old lady used to live next door. She’d always bring over mashed potatoes and ask them to make it on a pizza. One day they took a taste and it was so good they set out to recreate something similar.
Every year I take the drive up there. it used to be over 2 hours from me, now it’s 3.5 hours roughly. The drive out there isn’t anything nice. Make full use of the cruise control and get out to stretch often so your legs don’t cramp up.
The other thing that is really cool. this place is also a coal mining museum. You walk in and see all these old coal mining things. While you wait you can watch a video about coal mining in that area.
When I went there last 12 slices ran $ 16.50 and 6 slices $ 8.25.
I gave it 4 stars because the pierogie pizza is amazing. I’d have given it 5 stars if the regular pizza was good too.

Great pizza, very tasty! Highly recommend the steak and cheese hoagie. Ranks in my top 5 in the area. I was highly surprised how great it was… loaded with shaved meat and plenty of cheese! Hoagies are larger than normal and bun is toasted. Very delicious. Meatball hoagie with cheese is also great! I heard the hot wing hoagie is awesome… will definitely try that next!

I am from Ohio, but my parents are from Moscow. I just came back for Thanksgiving and the first place we went was Ferri’s. It is a unique pizza but is what I long for in Ohio and look forward to in family visits. I have been eating Ferri’s for as long as I can remember and I hope to let my future children enjoy too.

I LOVE pizza. I’m really one of those people that thinks there is excellent pizza and «eh» pizza. Never bad pizza. (unless burnt or something) BUT this place pulled if off. This is the WORST pizza I’ve ever had. I couldn’t get myself to finish one slice. Would give zero stars if I could.

Great Pizza, Potato Pizza is very good and so are the Italian hoagies.
Coal mine atmosphere is unique.

I only gave this one star because I couldn’t give it ZERO. wtf??? I waited a ½ hour to calm down before I wrote this too. I thought and thought and thought. THIS Is quite possibly the WORST PIZZA I have ever eaten.
you know how they say «bad pizza is like bad sex»? «they» are wrong.
ferri’s pizza is comparable to ellio’s — but ellios laughs at this place. their size and shape are similar. undercooked dough, no doubt about it canned sauce (I shit you not –like ragu or something) and splotchy un-​mozzarella cheese. I took one bite and threw the rest away. grotesque.
trying to be half serious for the point of the review, buy a box of ellio’s and foil it under your car hood in the engine compartment to heat it up. it would be superior.
fool me once, shame on me. it is the poconos — part of pennsyltucky — so I’m not entirely astonished to find bad pizza. but this is just bad food. period.
other recommendations: pick your nose. or how about not eat.

GOOPY TASTY CHEEEEESY! A childhood favorite of mine! NOTHING like that boring «new york» style pizza. CHEESE HEART ATTACK! SO GOOD!

THE HOT WING PIZZA changed my life, god I miss it.
