Green Ridge Pizza: A Throwback to Childhood Pizza Days

A look at the pizza at Green Ridge Pizza in Scranton. |

Green Ridge Pizza uses a very creamy cheese to top off their Old Forge Pizza. |

The Green Ridge Pizza crust is very light and airy while also being consistent and uniform throughout. |
The pizza came out cooked perfectly with what looked and tasted like a creamy yellow american cheese on top. The crust was browned up nicely and the deep red sauce, which reminded me of a spaghetti sauce with a smoother texture, poked out around the edged. The sauce was quite savory and full bodied with a hint of sweetness. Shell was thin and super consistent all the way through with a small and uniform sponge bubble pattern. I wasn't sure if it was a fresh shell or prefab because it was so uniform, but if I had to guess it was prefab. Either way it was cooked flawlessly with a fantastically even brown bottom and a nice crunch while being a little chewy in the center. As I said, the cheese seemed to be an american cheese and I think I caught a little romano-type cheese underneath to give it some sharpness.

Overall, this was a solid tray of Old Forge style pizza with a bit of a unique flavor because of the sauce. I can see why so many people love it. It's so light that I probably could have destroyed an entire 12 cut tray myself. My favorite thing about this pizza was that it tasted exactly like I remembered it probably 25 years earlier!
