City - Old Forge

It's a legendary rivalry waged in living rooms and on street corners across America: New York or Chicago style pizza? Well, the votes are in and the results are … neither! That's because the title of "Pizza Capital of the World" goes to Old Forge, Pennsylvania. If you're considering moving to an apartment in Old Forge, you may already be aware of this auspicious title. If not, there are some things you should know. First, never order a "pie." In Old Forge, you order a "tray." And you don't go to the pizzeria -- you go to the pizza café. Also, it isn't a slice -- it's a cut.

Of course, there's more to Old Forge than its pizza crown. This charming borough was established in 1899, and it is located about two miles from Downtown Scranton and roughly nine miles from Wilkes-Barre. The Lackawanna River winds along the southern edge of the borough, while I-476 is on the east side.
