I've had Old Forge Pizza before --- you need to go to the right places. Try Old Forge Pizza Express --- they're new but I had it the last time I was in town and it was fantastic. They sell it as a take and bake so you can make it in your home --- nothing like a hot pizza coming out of your oven.
I am researching a paper on Pennsylvania pizzerias inspired by an article I found linked from Slice:

I assume--but have not confirmed--that the state's oldest pizzerias are in Philly and Pittsburgh. However, outside these metropolitan areas, my sifting through old city directories in the State Library showed that Hazleton appears to have some of the earliest pizzerias. The three listed in 1948 (under bakeries, not restaurants) are Petruzzi's Home Delivery Pizzeria, Neapolitan Pizzeria and Tas-tee Pizzeria.
