Reviews for Big PaPa's Brick Oven Pizza in Scotrun, PA
We had a large group that stayed at GWL. Ordered from this place on a recommendation. It was well with the trip down the hill.... Very friendly husband and wife owners and can tell they take pride in their craft. Their pizza was very good. They even tooktime to talk to us, put the game on and showed hospitality while we waited for our order. Order from here especially if stayingup the hill Read more
I had a birthday party for my daughter at the great wolf lodge in Scotrun Pa. I am local but not from this town and Big Papas... came highly recommended. The recommendation was on point!

Very professional and delivered thepizza himself on time at the Lodge. I ???? recommend this pizza restaurant. Read more
Being a transplant here from NJ/NYC area for 6 yrs now, it's been hard to find food that in Monroe County that can satisfy our... palate that's been used to the a certain taste for 40 years. One of them is that certain taste for pizza. Usually, the pizzafrom all the places we have tried are either bland ,salty, or taste like those big chain stores. Until today, we have beengetting our pizza from a place in Mt. Bethel because it's the only decent place we have tried and it's a long ways from where welive here in Pocono Township. We finally got to try this place after a day at Camelback since I'm too tired to make dinner. Alittle heads up, this place is under new management since early spring and the new owner has kept the original name. Speakingabout the owner, he is very friendly and takes his time to say hello to his customers no matter how busy it was, which it waswhen we were there. He managed to chat with every table... Now, to the pizza. OMG! the crust is thin and crunchy! The saucetaste like home made unlike others we have tasted. There is great amount of cheese and "grease" that rivals pizza we have had inNYC, Hoboken ,JC, etc.! Even with all of that, when we got home, the pizza wasn't soggy. Usually, when we order a pie, weusually have about 2 slices left and end up being discarded the following day. My 7yr old daughter usually only eats 1 sliceand she ate 3 because she said it was really good. Today was also the first time we finished a whole pie and in under 30minutes! I didn't believe at first about the hype that it's "voted #1 pizza in the Poconos", but after today I wholeheartedlybelieve it and it's only a few minutes from us! Unfortunately, there is no home delivery but if we can go to another county toget pizza, we surely can take the 7 minute trip there! This is a 10-star review for me.???? Read more
Very family friendly. New owners are extremely attentive and offer the best service. Pizzas are 16 inch and delicious! Toppings... are fresh and tasty. Perfectly located right outside the Great Wolf Lodge for those wanting to avoid the ridiculously pricedfood at the Lodge. This will be our go to place next time! The whole family loved the place and wished we would have found ityesterday. NOT A CHAIN. This is a good, friendly town establishment right here. Read more
Visiting in the area and decided to try out a local pizza place. Did a quick Google maps search and saw the pizza shop was close... by and decided to drop in. It's located at the end of a strip mall type building and we actually drove past it at first. I'm soglad we turned around to go back. It is totally a hidden gem. Family owned. We were the only people in the shop and the ownermade our pizza and chit chatted while we waited. We learned that the current owner had just purchased the business, so if you'vehad a bad experience in the past-give these guys a chance. They use a fine ground flour under the pizza crust I stead of theusual cornmeal. I loved the texture of the crust with the flour versus cornmeal. The sauce was flavorful and the cheese wassuper melty. We ordered a meatlovers and it was LOADED. The meatballs used on the pizza were homemade and delicious. Definitelyone place that I look forward returning to. Read more
Don't judge a book by it's cover! Alright, I can agree that this spot might not sit a ton of folks (as mentioned in other... reviews), and it's definitely casual and laid-back. But it has heart, and most importantly flavor! My husband & I had a huge"personal" stromboli with pepperoni, mushroom & peppers (plenty for two) and our son enjoyed his two slices. The stromboli tooka little while to cook up--but that meant it was piping hot & fresh! It was well worth the wait, and while we waited it was likewe were part of the neighborhood! The character you find in this spot is one of a kind. The owners (and their children) are sowelcoming and personable! Definitely give it a try! Oh, and the dipping tomato sauce was fantastic and flavorful! (Some reviewsnoted concerns over price, I'd say ours was reasonable for a semi-touristic area.) $24 = a two person stromboli, two cheeseslices & iced tea & water ??????????? Read more
Owner is fabulous; went above and beyond in this quaint little pizza joint! Don?t judge a book by its cover. The crust is... perfectly balanced with chew and crunch. Pizza sauce is spot on and all the toppings were just right. We are from Italy and mykids said it was the best they?d ever had. We bought an extra pie to go for our long road trip home. Wish this restaurant wasnear us in DC. Read more
