When i was a kid , Savo's pizza was an enigma. There was no pizza like it that I knew of anywhere around. This is when the Pittston Plaza was still alive and kicking in the 80's, and not the horrible shell of its former self that it is now. The pizza at that time, as is so dearly embedded into my brain, was a soft delicious crust topped with what looked like what i can only describe as being a heavenly goop of sauce and orange cheese. The common gag with Savo's pizza that our family had was making sure the box stayed perfectly flat in the car ride home, because the topping ran off that easily. When you ate Savo's pizza, the cheese, nay, the AMBROSIA that is the topping clinged to your teeth and the roof of your mouth and you LOVED it. Savo's was an experience to eat, let me tell you. Fast forward to 2007... Savo's... WHAT HAS BECOME OF YOU?!?! I had a craving for Savo's the other day. I haven't had the stuff in years, being I keep a healthy diet and ... more

Fast forward to 2007... Savo's... WHAT HAS BECOME OF YOU?!?! I had a craving for Savo's the other day. I haven't had the stuff in years, being I keep a healthy diet and workout a lot anymore with the goal of fat loss in mind, and plus whenever I did allow myself pizza, I'd get it from Pizza Loven (a new favorite of mine for many years). So I called up an order today for 6 cuts. Go to pick it up, open the box when i got it to the car, cause I was so excited to dig my mouth into that pizza, and I was baffled by what i saw. This was not Savo's pizza. This was store brand stuff you pick up in the milk aisle. I was just sitting there looking at the pizza for about 10 full seconds just stunned trying to piece my shattered reality back together. I curiously bit into it. It had the old Savo's aftertaste. And that was about it. Gone was the magical stew sitting atop the golden light crust. No more cheese sticking tot he roof of your mouth and teeth. Yet another of my childhood dreams, gone and dead to the universe. Seriously, what happened to Savo's? The sad thing is that DiGiorno's pizza that you can buy in supermarkets tastes better than this new fandangled recipe they have going on here and trying to pass off as Savo's pizza. This is not Savo's Pizza, this is CRAP. less

Terrible is a compliment. The service was nonexistant. Half the wait staff and the dining manager were socializing while the other half worked, still not sure where our waitress was during the meal we never really saw her. The bread (which was offered to diners behind us before they even ordered) that we asked for after sitting with a dirty glass filled with beer and a glass of water (no lemon of course) for 20 min. was full of air pockets and dry from sitting exposed to air. Then the lobster and crab bisque arrived (25 min. after ordering)fresh from the microwave cold in some spots and hot in others. Back fin crab was used instead of lump so it was full of shell. We continued to wait for our prime rib sandwich au jus for another 20 min. by now the water (without the lemon) has long been gone and where was the refill??? Probably with our waitress who we see less often than Haley's comet. Oh by the way Brian is doing an excellent job servicing the customers in the booth next to ours ... more

Probably with our waitress who we see less often than Haley's comet. Oh by the way Brian is doing an excellent job servicing the customers in the booth next to ours they have bread, drinks, entree and periodic "do you need anything else". Did I also mention they walked in behind us 30 min. later. Thirsty and hungry I asked to see the manager 10 min. later when the food appeared so did she after sitting in my booth watching the waiter go out and let her know my request to speak with her. Obviously that was so inconsequential there really was no need to hurry. The prime rib when it did arrive was overdone (med well) and chipped not sliced and the ciabitta bread was soggy. So all in all the food sucked the service was lousy and the management doesn't care. Keep driving there's a McDonalds close by and much better. less
