This pizza is world class and inappropriately good for the area. The owners care about ingredients and their craft and it shows. 10/10 perfect marks. We buy frozen pizzas from them all the time because no other takeout could possibly be better.

This place is such a gem! We stopped by on a road trip to central PA, and it was definitely worth the stop. Extremely fresh ingredients and they make it right in front of you. It is some of the freshest pizza of this style that I have had in the US. Similar to pizza I had in Italy!

We had a very nice time here tonight! They were absolutely packed and for great reason. The food was INCREDIBLE. We are Italian and do not take our meatballs and sauce lightly. These meatballs were excellently seasoned and the ciabatta roll that came with it was just perfect. We ordered a flight of ciders which were all pleasant. We also ordered a flight of pizzas which wasn’t an option but we did it anyway. We got a Happy Pig, a Blue Moon and a Three Fun Guys. All 3 pies were amazing. The blue moon, however, was absolutely to die for. We will be returning and it will be for that pie specifically. You can tell they take their ingredients seriously. The dough was some of the best I’ve had in the area if not the best. It was cooked well. So simple yet so flavorful. All of this being said I do have one take away from the night. The woman who was helping us seemed to be doing quite literally everything on the floor. Perhaps it was just a case of a call out or untimely short staffing. She seated us, brought our table settings, took our order, cleared our plates, delivered our food and was doing this for each of the 10-15 tables seemingly alone. She was doing a great job and was pleasant throughout but you could tell she had her hands full and I felt awful. It took about 40 mins to get our app and another 15-20 to get the pizzas. We were there around an hour and a half total. We ended up not ordering a 2nd flight like we planned as it was taking a while to get things and an obnoxious table had filed in next to us. Took the remaining pizza home and it was still great out of the air fryer. To summarize: If you’re willing to wait for greatness then you absolutely must come here. Worth every minute and every penny spent. We will be back soon.

Cute place! Staff was exceptional. Love the outdoor seating area…minus the train whistle each time a train went by. The pizza was FANTASTIC! Good drink selection. The Chocolate Mousse and Ricotta Cheesecake are a must!!! If you haven’t been there, try it out you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent arugula salad and super fresh pizza. A great place if you want to fill up on a healthier option!

Switchback has to be the best Brick Oven Pizza in Lehigh Valley! The crust is well done, yet still chewy and flavorful. We had the Margherita this time and wouldn’t change a thing. Fresh ingredients made for a perfect pie. Also, a delicious arugula salad with a twist of a wild rice, sweet potato and walnut added. What a great idea! Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for the great service Adrianna!!

Very good pizza in particular the Blue Moon pizza was our groups favorite. Really not a place to get a regular cheese pizza, that wasn’t overwhelmingly good, but every other one was very good. I told her how many people I was feeding and she implied that I would be good with 4-6 slices per person but im going to tell you right now you need 1 pie for each person. But it’s worth it.

I give major support to places that may not have the best product but overachieve at service. I drove 40 + miles in one direction to pick up a bread order. The bread is pretty good and reasonably priced. I was disappointed in the service. As a middle aged man, I often feel overlooked by business owners younger than me. Here I was talked “at” not talked “to.” I went through a whole transaction without any eye contact, and the staff member used a cartoonish tone of voice. This place is yuppie heaven. The dining area is very small. What turned me off was the fact that there was little or no parking at 4:15 PM. The restaurant is across from a residential neighborhood. There was a police patrol car parked down the block, apparently scoping out parking violations…not very welcoming. I got the feeling that the neighbors are not happy about the weekend business venture. I was hoping the place would have the relaxing vibe of some of the cafes I have frequented in Italy, France, Greece and Spain, but it didn’t pass the test!

Alright…. I’ve lived in many states, and have had many varieties of pizza. From low quality gas station pizza, to New York, to Piecasso in Vermont. But, they can’t seem to touch Switchbacks quality. It’s the dough, and the sauce. The amount, texture, and execution is flawless. Best pie I’ve ever had.
