Pizza Joe’s Italian Restaurant on South Main Street in Nazareth impressed us with its perfectly balanced blend of cheese and sauce. Each bite delivered a harmonious taste that left us satisfied. The crust, robust yet flavorful, added to the overall appeal, though we found ourselves wishing for a slightly larger pizza to fully satisfy our appetites.

Affinito’s Pizza Parlor and Cafe in Emmaus caught our attention not only with its delicious flavors but also with its impeccable presentation. The large pizza boasted a delightful spread of tomato sauce and hearty tomato chunks, creating both a visually appealing and flavorful experience. The crust, while a bit thin, complemented the toppings perfectly. The cash-only parlor’s atmosphere added to the overall charm of our dining experience.

1. Moonlight Pizza — Pen Argyl

Claiming the top spot as the best pizza in the Lehigh Valley for 2024 is Moonlight Pizza in Pen Argyl.
