About
Rooted in Scranton. Inspired by the world.
Skout Hospitality is a Scranton area based hospitality group built on bold ideas, real people, and unforgettable experiences. We create and operate distinctive food and beverage concepts that make locals proud and visitors curious.
Our Brands, Our Flavor
From hometown staples like Armenti’s Pizzeria to the sleek and spirited energy of Tease Lounge, our portfolio reflects the flavor and personality of the communities we serve.
Locally Owned, Globally Seasoned
Skout Hospitality is locally owned and operated by a native son who returned home after years in the industry — bringing back not just experience, but perspective. With over 20 years of hospitality and marketing know-how, our founder has pulled inspiration from: Late nights in Austin’s live music bars, Underground gems in Baltimore, High-velocity operations in Las Vegas, Espresso-fueled mornings in Rome, Iconic pizza joints in Napoli’s back alleys.
Our Philosophy
This global inspiration, paired with street-smart execution and deep local roots, helps us craft spaces that feel elevated, but never out of touch.
At Skout Hospitality, we believe in high standards without the stiff collar. Whether it’s your neighborhood go-to or your next downtown escape, we’re here to serve it with character, quality, and just the right amount of edge.
