If you’re searching for the best breakfast in all
of Oakford, Pennsylvania and want your two eggs scrambled hard with a side of mystery meat you can find that and more
at Casanova’s Pizzeria. Honestly, I never would have thought to give a pizzeria the time of day for breakfast, yet the
sign boasted the best fare in the neighborhood so it was worth giving it a shot. Not a single space could be found in
the entire parking lot and the place was jam packed inside, which made making the decision a hundred times easier. No
questions asked.
Casanova’s is a cozy casual family-style restaurant where everyone seems to know one
another and the wait staff even feels like close relatives. Established in 1980 the interior is small and decorated
with simple wall hangings of vintage Coca-Cola ads and the windows out looking the road, a combination of regular glass
and stained glass. The atmosphere is warm and the plates even warmer. Try the peanut butter pancakes should your
taste-buds desire something sweet or feast on a huge omelet and home fries covered in onions. If you’re bold and brave
take a stab at some mouth-watering ‘scrapple’. Ask
the waitress what it is and she’ll tell you most people don’t want to know. Ask her if she likes it and she’ll tell you
with ketchup. Ask me what I think and I’ll tell you the same and only add that it’s a different type of delicious. (To
give you an idea it is pork, cornmeal, more pork scraps, other meat scraps, and Lord knows what else.)
Though the breakfast dishes are large, your bill should remain small in comparison. Casanova’s is easy on the pockets
for certain with most plates ranging in the $5-$8 area. If there’s any confusion in the name let it be known the sign
outside reads Casanova’s Pizzeria and the menu inside says Casanova’s Kitchen. The restaurant is located at
4944 Bristol Road, Oakford, PA. Make a mental note to carry cash since they do not accept checks or
credit cards of any fashion. To phone your order in dial (215) 322-0225.
