Shandras Pizza - Jenkins Township (PA)

5 /5 Emani Loud: DAMNNNNN SHANDRA! I lived in Pittston for more than a decade now and I can’t believe it’s my first time trying this pizza. I have deprived myself of all this goodness. This pizza was so amazing. The cheese such good quality. Got the best cheese pull when we grabbed the first slice. I’m so mad we only got 1 pie. Save yourself the stress and get 2 pizzas. The chicken wing bites are really good as well; real chicken, not too spicy, kid friendly. Also call in advance if you can because she can get very busy.

5 /5 unknown artist: Some of the best pizza in the Valley! Worth making the stop. Bring cash! Been eating here for years and looking forward for more years to come. Make sure you try the chicken wing!!. Also the fresh tomato pizza is amazing and should be tried by everybody who enjoys pizza. I promise!

5 /5 Thaddeus Rhinehart: I tried Shandra’s Pizza today for the first time. I’m not from NEPA but occasionally end up in the area for work. A quick google search for pan fried Sicilian pizza sent me to Shandra’s. I had no idea that more often than not, your best bet is to call and schedule your order hours ahead of time. That being said, Shandra took my order and quickly got my red pizza with onions out to me. While I waited, I sat and chatted to Shandra about her family, the history of her pizzas, what makes NEPA pizza so different than any other, and a number of other topics. This pizza is arguably the best I’ve ever had. The way they conduct business and have preserved the quality of their product over the years is so impressive, especially when more often than not businesses sacrifice quality in the name of cost saving. 10/10. Great place.

5 /5 Greg McLaughlin: So, 2025-26 New Years Eve. I went to my daughters to take care of her cats. In my west home, I was passing Shandra’s and the lights were on. Sweet! I pull into the snow covered parking lot and get out. I’m parked on the lines. But perpendicular to them, and essentially preventing anyone else from parking because I’m taking up four parking spots but couldn’t see the lines until I was walking in. As I approach the door, I see that they’re closing at 8:30 and it’s 8:29. I walk in and say, I’m not THAT customer. It’s New Years Eve and I work retail, so I ask if they have anything left over that they want to unload before closing the doors. They have a no onion pizza that was never picked up, so I take it and left a tip. As I begin driving home, I notice the aroma permeating my car. I’m tempted to park. I resist. I get home, 45 minutes later, and start reheating a few slices in my cast iron. I can’t wait. A cold slice (I fed the cats and got out of work clothes, it’s been over an hour since picking up the pizza) enters my mouth. My body erupts with delight! I like cold pizza about as much as hot, but this is delightful. I type, hoping to hold out for a freshly reheated slice, while three slices fill my cast iron skillet. Will I make it? Will my second slice be hot? That’s still to be determined, but the only facts of my entire experience is that I WILL be back. I will abstain from consuming solid foods both the day of and the day after my second visit, and I will be buying at least two pizzas. One for me, and as many as I need to feed however many of my kids as will be home for dinner. I’d really like to avoid fighting over a slice, but can’t rule out the possibility. To those who worked this evening, thank you for the last minute appetite quenching. I’ll be back for more, several times in 2026 despite the 25 miles of asphalt that lies between us. Your pizza stands tall among the best pizza that I’ve tried, and I drove to Chicago and straight back just to try some Chicago pizza. That said, happy new year y’all, and thank you for being open on NYE and allowing me to try an excellent local shop! I’d also like to apologize in advance as you may find me sleeping on your curb, waiting patiently for that glorious “open” sign to alight. I won’t harass you and will give you time to heat the oven so you can produce a fantastic delight for my palate. Also, where’s my gym keyfob? I’m going to need it so I can make you a regular stop.

5 /5 Laura Materazzi Lyback: Wish I tried this sooner. Absolutely delicious. Crispy crust, not greasy and great toppings. Chicken bites were tasty too. Very friendly service. Will definitely be back!
