Customer Reviews

I was truly amazed at how good this was. The staff was very nice. I wish they had done in seating though. Me and wife visited around Valentine's Day and the pizza was amazing. Crust and flavor was some of the best I've had. Will be visiting again next time I'm in town

Got a half burnt pizza and let the owners know. They replaced it without incident. They were friendly and apologetic. The pizza is phenomenal and we will be back time and time again!! The antipasto salad was huge and full of a variety of meats and vegetables! You cannot go wrong at this spot!! Good people and good food is hard to find these days!!

Was in town with the family from out of state and wanted authentic pizza with crisp to it. Ordered a large pepperoni and a whole Meatball Hogie. This place did not let down. The flavor, crispy bottom and perfect combination of sauce, cheese and pepperoni this pizza was awesome! Not to mention ton the service was top notch. Definitely will be making this a regular stop whenever I'm back in Pittsburgh.

Great pizza, great people. Three blocks off Grandview Ave (downhill). Three blocks back pushing my wife in her wheelchair (uphill). Worth. Every. Step. Lots of locals stopping by for an order. We may have been the only out of towners. Always a good sign. For some reason they did not allow dining in. Had to order through a takeout window. We ate at plastic picnic tables on a busy corner. We ordered a calzone with bacon and extra cheese. They brought it out to the table when it was ready, then went back in to get us plates, forks and knives. Great service. The calzone was great. Crust was terrific -great taste and bite. Filling was melts, cheesy, bacony, and piping hot! Wow. Just great. Plenty for two people. And good price too. Nice people, great food. Worth a stop if you are visiting Mt. Washington in Pittsburgh.

All that pizza for just 5 bucks. 2 big slices or 4 small ones. Would have liked the bottom to be crispier but other than that the pizza was great sweat sauce with a little spice to it. Absolutely delicious and great prices and was quick. Highly recommended

Picked up a few pies for lunch, and they were delicious! The under carriage had a nice crust, and the actual crust was amazing and worth eating. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town!
