Fact of the Day: Senape’s Tavern is a culinary landmark in Hazleton. Located on North Vine Street, Senape’s was built at its present site in 1908. Saverio Senape emigrated from Italy and began working in the mines in Lattimer. After Saverio was injured and could no longer work, he decided to open a restaurant. In 1925, Saverio opened the Italian-American Bakery. He only baked bread at first, but Saverio soon began making pizza. Vito Vincinguerra became the main baker. At the time, the restaurant did not have a kitchen or back dining room. The food was prepared upstairs in the family kitchen and brought downstairs, and pizza was sent from the bakery. The bakery was renamed Senape’s Bakery in 1927. In 1935, after Prohibition, Charlie Senape took over the restaurant and tap room, while his brothers ran the bakery. Charlie originated the famous tavern pizza. At the time, he sold only two or three pans of pizza a day. The pizza quickly became regionally renowned and people now travel from great distances for a slice. So how did pizza become known as “pitza” in Hazleton? The origin goes back to Charlie, who told a young boy who worked for him to make a sign to advertise the pizza. When the boy made the sign, he incorrectly spelled the word “pitza,” and “pitza” became the trademark of the restaurant and bakery. The back dining room was added to the tavern in 1937, and Charlie began making the tavern pizza in the restaurant’s basement. Senape’s Tavern continues to serve pizza and other Italian food. The restaurant/bar is operated by Gerry Senape. The building was recently restored.
