“Now a favorite place to eat in Pittsburgh Shadyside. The wait was not bad, only about 30 minutes. Comfortable seating for a table of five. Certainly here for the pizza. Had high expectations based on recommendations and happy to say it did not disappoint! Bottle of wine did push the bill a little higher than just pizza, but was not disappointed. Pizza was appropriately sized for two people or an ambitious one. There were so many potions so had to try several different. The crust on the pizza was one of best ever had. Flavor was spot on and paired well with the many choices of toppings we choose. Still saved room for Gelato, very happy with choice!”
— Christopher Andres“My favorite Neapolitan pizza in PGH! Great spot to enjoy good food, wine, and gelato with friends and family! Never disappointed whether dining in or taking out They sometimes have a pizza with pistachios—yumm! Such a great seasonal item on the menu I got to try Staff and pizza bakers are super friendly! It’s so beautiful to see them work as a family!”
— Lluvia Frias“Very delicious pizza! We ordered the Pizza de Re and a panini for me and my boyfriend, with bruschetta as a starter. The bruschetta was nicely balanced with a pleasant sourness and very fresh tomatoes. The server was friendly and recommended adding burrata to the pizza — a great suggestion that really elevated the dish. Would definitely come back!”
— Eva Sheng“Best pizza crust evah! Generous toppings and crew that is proud of what they serve. Visiting from Cambridge (Boston) and will definitely recommend to anyone I know who would be going to Pittsburgh. Bonus, gelato and sorbet options for dessert”
