HISTORY

The Colonial has been known as the longest operating Pizza business in the Lehigh Valley.  We've been in business for 67 years and are still going strong, providing a great place to come and enjoy great food with a relaxed family atmosphere.

 

The rich history of the Colonial goes way beyond what it is today.  While back in the 1930's and 40's the building was used as a grocery store and a confectionary, however the building was actually built back in the 1800's.  In approximately 1853, building owner Henry Werkheiser replaced the front of the stone building with the present brick wall.  Accordingly, the original stone house is probably much older than the 1850s.  Come see the "gun port" in the dining room restroom which was known to be used by solders to protect their post.  If you don't believe us, just ask one of the "spirit's" that still wander around our place to this day! ("Sarah" is the playful one!") So come join us and love not only our pizza, but the great feeling you get by being a part of our rich heritage.
