Pizza Review at Vito’s Bistro: A Hidden Gem in Pittston, PA
In this pizza review, I had the pleasure of visiting Vito’s Bistro, a hidden gem in Pittston, PA. This family-owned restaurant, run by the lovely duo Vito and his wife, offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made me feel like a regular from the moment I stepped through the door. During my visit, I had the chance to try several of their standout menu items.
Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza: Crispy, Cheesy, and Full of Flavor
First up was what they call their Chicago-style deep dish pizza, which featured a thick, doughy crust with a slightly crispy bottom, gooey cheese, and a vibrant, fresh, and flavorful sauce. The sauce was naturally succulent and slightly sweet—just the right balance without being overly sugary. While it didn’t feature the traditional butter crust and a massive amount of cheese like the deep dish pizza I associate with Chicago style, it was a delicious thick crust pan pizza with great sauce and cheese. I would probably order it well done next time, but it was a super enjoyable pizza as is!
Hot Wing Pizza: A Unique and Flavorful Twist
I also reviewed their hot wing pizza, a super unique version with their “crispy” mild sauce. This pizza was loaded with tender chicken and a mild buffalo sauce that complemented the other flavors beautifully. The combination of textures, with the crispy crust and juicy toppings, made it an unforgettable experience. The crust was soft and lightly baked which made it easy to fold and eat. That “crispy wing sauce” is just something that I can’t get out of my mind – it’s so different!
Mild Chicken Wings: Crisp, Flavorful, and Unique
But that wasn’t all—I also enjoyed their mild chicken wings, which had just the right amount of heat and a deliciously crisp texture. The wings were jumbo and meaty with a slight crisp. I saw they were parbaking them prior to going into the fryer so the wings had a nice consistency like a fresh rotisserie chicken. What made these wings extra special was their unique sauce, which had crunchy elements that added a delightful contrast to the tender meat.
The sauce is sweet with almost no heat at all. It’s thinner and on the oily side like “Hot Crispy Oil” and features a crunchy texture that just blew my mind. The wings baked and fried that way along with that crispy texture made this a special experience!
Italian Hoagie: High-Quality Meats and the Best Hoagie Roll in NEPA
To top it off, I tried their Italian hoagie, filled with solid-quality meats and fresh ingredients. The highlight of the hoagie was the roll—one of the best I’ve found in NEPA. It was soft on the inside with a slight crisp on the outside, making it the perfect vessel for the hearty fillings.
A Heartwarming Experience: Meeting Vito and His Wife
What made this stop even more special was meeting Vito and his wife themselves. Vito, a soft-spoken, hard-working chef, has a real passion for his craft, and it shows in every dish. His humble nature and dedication to making great food, alongside his wife’s warm hospitality, made this visit feel like so much more than just a pizza review—it was a true heartwarming experience.
