A New Story of Old Forge Pizza | Salerno’s Café | Old Forge, PA

In the heart of Old Forge - known as the Pizza Capital of the World - stands one of its most legendary institutions: Salerno’s Café. A place built on tradition, family recipes, and nearly a century of Old Forge pizza culture. It’s a Cut, not a Slice… I sit down with new owner Jeff Adomiak - someone I’ve known my whole life. We grew up together, graduated together, and even shared the baseball field. But while we both went into the restaurant world, our paths couldn’t have been more different… until now. When Salerno’s Café went up for sale, there was always the chance it could leave the hands of Old Forge. Instead, Jeff stepped in - keeping this iconic spot exactly where it belongs… in the family, in the town, and in the culture. We talk about his journey - from his years at Julia’s Bar, a staple in Old Forge for decades, to now becoming the sole owner of one of the most respected pizza spots in NEPA. This isn’t just about pizza. It’s about legacy. It’s about loyalty to where you come from. And it’s about a hometown kid stepping up to carry something bigger than himself. And most importantly… keeping tradition alive. Full episode available on YouTube (same name as this page) and everywhere you listen to podcasts. Join the fight. Thank You To My Sponsors!
