Old Forge, known as the pizza capital of the world, pizza places prepare for a bustling Good Friday.
OLD FORGE, Pa. — Many people do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent, pizza places are especially busy. In the pizza capital of the world, aka Old Forge, people line up around the block to get a tray of their favorite.
We stopped by Arcaro & Genell this morning to talk about the busy week ahead and how employees prepare. Manager Amanda Krappa says it’s usually busy on a Friday night with around 200 pizzas going out the door.
On Good Friday, she expects more than 300 trays to sell. That means all hands on deck making extra dough. Krappa says they also see plenty of customers who don’t practice Lent come for pizza on Good Friday.
