Pompei’s Serving Consistently Good Pizza for Decades
In an effort to spread the wealth and not just review those restaurants in Lackawanna County, I hopped in the car and headed over the county border to Tunkhannock, and drove to the only place I could remember in town – Pompei’s Pizza. I’d eaten there several times as a child, but hadn’t had their pizza recently, so it was time to brush up on their offerings.
Please see my most recent review of Pompei’s in Tunkhannock here!

The place has been in business for as long as I can remember, so clearly they are doing something right. I would imagine kids enjoy this pizza, and I’d venture a guess that no one really hates it because it offers a little bit of something for everyone. A real party pleaser and a consistent product. It’s a can’t miss, a great value for the huge slices they provide, and a classic pie.

NEPA Pizza Review
November 26, 2012 12:31 amUPDATE: I was at a party where Pompei's steak and cheese stromboli with peppers, onions and mushrooms was served, and it was awesome. They give you a generous helping of steak and toppings inside, and it has great flavor without being greasy. Give this a try!
