My spouse and I dined with two family members at Crossroads Hotel
for dinner on a Saturday evening in January 2019. Crossroads Pizza is open
daily for lunch and dinner.
The restaurant occupies the former Hellertown Crossroads
Hotel, which was first opened in the 1950s and operated until 2016; the current
iteration opened in late 2016. (The present owners also operate the Wagon Wheel Tavern in East Rockhill
Township.) The restaurant occupies a two-story building on the corner of
Main and East High Streets in Hellertown, although dining is available on the
first/ground floor only. Patrons can sit in the bar (it has a full liquor
license) or in the main dining room at booths or banquette tables or in an
adjoining side room. A huge 20-foot taxidermy marlin mounted on the rear wall
provides a focal point. (Fun fact: A relative of mine helped to catch the fish
back in the 1980s.)
The Crossroads Hotel is famous for its thin-crust pizza, as
well as its cheesesteaks topped with fried onions, pickles, banana peppers, and
sauce and served on toasted rolls. We tried both on the night that we visited.
The restaurant’s menu also offers burgers, hotdogs, pierogis, and fries.
The Crossroads Hotel has a loyal clientele who are dedicated
to their cheesesteaks and pizza.
