Best Pizza in Lehigh Valley: 9 Pizza Places, Hours and Ratings Compared

Quick Answer: The best pizza in Lehigh Valley depends on which night you are ordering. Our directory tracks nine pizza restaurants across Allentown, Emmaus, Bethlehem, and Easton, and five of them are closed on Mondays. If you want a pie any day of the week, the three that are open all seven days are Pat's Pizza & Bistro in Bethlehem, Mama's Famous Pizza and Grill in Allentown, and Stoke Coal Fire Pizza & Bar in Easton. For the highest rating, Spice Crust Pizzeria in Bethlehem holds a 5.0 across 334 Google reviews in our directory data.

Key Takeaways:

Monday is the hard night: Only four of the nine (Pat's, Mama's, Stoke, and Antonio's Pizzeria in Easton) open on Mondays.
Sunday is the easy night, with one exception: Eight of nine open Sundays. Antonio's is the one that closes, and most of the rest close earlier than usual.
Latest pie: Stoke runs to 10pm Monday through Thursday and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, the latest hours in the group.
Highest rated: Spice Crust (5.0, 334 reviews) and Paranormal Pizza (4.9, 277 reviews), both in Bethlehem.
Most reviewed: Pat's (1,366 reviews) and Stoke (1,251 reviews).
Shortcut: Need pizza on a Monday? Go to Pat's, Mama's, Stoke, or Antonio's. Need it on a Sunday in Easton? Stoke, because Antonio's is closed.

Which Pizza Places in Lehigh Valley Does Our Directory Track?

Our Lehigh Valley pizza category currently holds nine restaurants. Here they are with the rating and review count from our directory data, sorted by rating:

Spice Crust Pizzeria, 2910 Easton Ave, Bethlehem: 5.0 (334 reviews)
Paranormal Pizza, 125 E 3rd St, Bethlehem: 4.9 (277 reviews)
Mama's Famous Pizza and Grill, 1901 Hamilton St, Allentown: 4.7 (928 reviews)
Napoli Pizza and Italian Cuisine, 2013 Willow Park Rd, Bethlehem: 4.7 (582 reviews)
Switchback Pizza Company, 525 W Jubilee St, Emmaus: 4.7 (430 reviews)
Pat's Pizza & Bistro, 1426 W Broad St, Bethlehem: 4.6 (1,366 reviews)
Antonio's Pizzeria, 114 S 3rd St, Easton: 4.6 (751 reviews)
The Crust Pizzeria and Restaurant, 3043 W Emaus Ave, Allentown: 4.6 (734 reviews)
Stoke Coal Fire Pizza & Bar, 1 Lehn's Ct, Easton: 4.2 (1,251 reviews)

The spread is tight. Eight of the nine sit between 4.6 and 5.0, so rating alone will not settle the choice. The more useful differences are when each one is open, what you can drink with your pie, and whether there is a free lot when you get there.

Which Lehigh Valley Pizza Places Are Open on Monday?

This is the single most useful fact in this guide. Five of the nine are closed on Mondays: Spice Crust, Paranormal Pizza, Napoli, Switchback, and The Crust. Paranormal and Switchback are also closed on Tuesdays.

The four that open on Mondays:

Mama's Famous Pizza and Grill: 10:30am to 9:30pm.
Pat's Pizza & Bistro: 11am to 9pm.
Stoke Coal Fire Pizza & Bar: 11:30am to 10pm.
Antonio's Pizzeria: noon to 9:30pm.

That gives each city at least one Monday option: Mama's in Allentown, Pat's in Bethlehem, and both Stoke and Antonio's in Easton.

Local rule of thumb: If it is Monday, skip the five that close and go straight to Mama's, Pat's, Stoke, or Antonio's. If it is Tuesday, add Spice Crust, Napoli, and The Crust back to the list, but Paranormal and Switchback still will not open until Wednesday.

Which Ones Are Open on Sunday, and How Late?

Sunday is much easier: eight of the nine open. Antonio's Pizzeria in Easton is the one that closes. But Sunday hours run short almost everywhere, so the closing time matters more than whether the door is open.

Switchback: noon to 5:30pm, the earliest Sunday close in the group.
Paranormal Pizza: noon to 6pm.
Spice Crust: noon to 7pm.
The Crust: noon to 8pm.
Napoli: noon to 8:30pm.
Pat's: 11am to 9pm.
Stoke: 11:30am to 9pm.
Mama's: 10:30am to 9:30pm, the latest Sunday hours.

For a Sunday dinner after 7pm, your list shrinks to The Crust, Napoli, Pat's, Stoke, and Mama's. In Easton specifically, Stoke is the Sunday choice because Antonio's is closed.

Where Can You Get Pizza Late in Lehigh Valley?

None of these nine is a true late-night spot. The latest closing time anywhere in the group is 11pm, and only Stoke reaches it, on Fridays and Saturdays. Stoke also stays open to 10pm Monday through Thursday, which no other pizza place in our directory matches on a weeknight.

Mama's is second latest on weekends, open to 10:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Pat's and Napoli run to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Everyone else closes by 9:30pm or earlier, and Switchback and Paranormal close at 8pm on most nights they are open.

Where Can You Get Pizza Early or for Lunch?

If you want a slice before noon, look at The Crust and Mama's. The Crust opens at 10am Tuesday through Saturday, and Mama's opens at 10:30am every day. Spice Crust, Napoli, and Pat's open at 11am on the days they are open.

Switchback is the one to watch for lunch. It does not open until 4pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so it is effectively dinner-only on weekdays. Saturday and Sunday are its only lunch days, opening at noon.

Which Pizza Places Serve Beer, Wine, or Cocktails?

Google lists alcohol service at five of the nine:

Beer, wine, and cocktails: Stoke and Switchback.
Beer and wine: Antonio's.
Beer: The Crust.
Wine: Pat's.

Spice Crust, Paranormal Pizza, Mama's, and Napoli do not list alcohol service. Several Switchback reviewers in our data mention pairing their pizza with cider, so if a drink is part of the plan, Switchback and Stoke are the two with the fullest bar listings.

Which Pizza Places Take Reservations?

Five of the nine accept reservations according to Google: Napoli, Switchback, Pat's, Antonio's, and Stoke. That matters most for groups. One reviewer describes Switchback as a "super small spot," and a Spice Crust reviewer notes an occupancy of 14, so for a larger party a place with reservations and more room is the safer bet. Spice Crust, Paranormal, Mama's, and The Crust do not list reservations, which makes them better for takeout or a walk-in table.

Where Is Parking Free?

Six of the nine list a free parking lot: Spice Crust, Mama's, Napoli, Switchback, Pat's, and The Crust. The two Easton picks, Stoke and Antonio's, are both downtown and list only paid lots and paid street parking. Stoke also lists a paid garage. Paranormal Pizza on E 3rd Street in Bethlehem lists free and paid street parking but no lot.

If you are picking up a large order, the free lots make Pat's, Napoli, and Mama's the least hassle. If you are already downtown in Easton, the paid parking is part of the trip anyway.

Which Pizza Places Are Best for Families?

All nine are listed by Google as good for kids. Six go further with a children's menu: Mama's, Napoli, Pat's, Antonio's, The Crust, and Stoke. Four list outdoor seating: Switchback, Pat's, The Crust, and Stoke. The Crust is the one listed as dog friendly, and Stoke is the one that lists live music.

What Makes Each One Different?

Ratings and hours narrow the list, but reviewers in our data point to what sets each place apart.

Spice Crust Pizzeria (Bethlehem)

Reviewers describe Indian-inspired pizzas, mentioning tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and tikka masala pies alongside traditional ones. It is small, so one reviewer recommends ordering ahead around dinner time. Open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 9pm and Sunday noon to 7pm, closed Mondays.

Paranormal Pizza (Bethlehem)

A vegan restaurant, per our listing. Reviewers mention vegan pepperoni and a gluten-free crust option, and more than one describes driving an hour or more to get there. Open Wednesday through Saturday noon to 8pm and Sunday noon to 6pm, the shortest week in the group.

Mama's Famous Pizza and Grill (Allentown)

The most open of the nine, running seven days with the earliest daily start at 10:30am and the latest Sunday close. Reviewers talk about stopping in for a quick slice and fast, friendly counter service. Free lot on Hamilton Street.

Napoli Pizza and Italian Cuisine (Bethlehem)

Several reviewers mention the cheesesteaks as much as the pizza, and generous portions come up repeatedly. Free lot, reservations, and a children's menu make it a solid family pick, though it is closed Mondays.

Switchback Pizza Company (Emmaus)

Reviewers mention Detroit-style pies and cider. The tradeoff is the schedule: closed Monday and Tuesday and open from 4pm on Wednesday through Friday. It shares the fullest bar listing in the group (beer, wine, and cocktails) with Stoke.

Pat's Pizza & Bistro (Bethlehem)

The most-reviewed pizza restaurant in our directory at 1,366 reviews. Reviewers mention pasta as often as pizza, and one mentions good parking. Open seven days, takes reservations, serves wine, and has outdoor seating.

Antonio's Pizzeria (Easton)

The budget option in Easton, listed at the $ price range in our directory. Reviewers mention crispy crust and cheesecake. Open Monday through Saturday from noon, closed Sundays.

The Crust Pizzeria and Restaurant (Allentown)

Also listed at $, and the earliest opener at 10am. Reviewers mention a crisp slice at a good price and friendly service. Dog friendly, with outdoor seating and beer. Closed Mondays.

Stoke Coal Fire Pizza & Bar (Easton)

A coal-fired pizza gastropub, per our listing, and the latest-open pizza place in the Valley. Its 4.2 rating is the lowest in the group, but across 1,251 reviews, and reviewers often mention the wider menu, including salads, pasta, and wings, as well as the bar.

Which Pizza Place Should You Pick by City?

Allentown: Mama's for any day of the week, The Crust for an early or budget slice. Switchback is a short drive away in Emmaus. See more in our Allentown restaurants page.
Bethlehem: Pat's for seven-day reliability, Spice Crust for the top rating, Paranormal for vegan, Napoli for families. Our best pizza in Bethlehem guide goes further.
Easton: Stoke for late nights, Sundays, and drinks; Antonio's for a lower-priced weekday pie. See our pizza in Easton guide.

If pizza is part of a larger Italian dinner, our Italian restaurants in Lehigh Valley guide covers the sit-down options.

Bottom Line: What Is the Best Pizza in Lehigh Valley?

For the highest rating, it is Spice Crust in Bethlehem at 5.0 across 334 reviews, followed by Paranormal Pizza at 4.9. For reliability, it is Pat's, Mama's, and Stoke, the only three of the nine open every day of the week. And for a late night, it is Stoke, open to 11pm on weekends.

Before you go, check the day. Five of nine close on Mondays, Antonio's closes on Sundays, and Switchback does not serve weekday lunch. Picking the right place for the right night matters more than half a star of rating.
