I go to this place regularly, as it’s very close to the Benedum Center. The food is nicely priced and has good portions The food itself is pretty good, although today when I ordered the buffalo fries with cheese, the cheese wasn’t the cheese that was normally on it (melted shredded cheese) and had the consistency and flavor of a nacho cheese mixed with that squeeze cheese from a can. Overall, I think this place is really good and have good accommodations to large parties too.

The pizza is exceptional, with a thin and crispy crust that perfectly complements the flavorful toppings. The menu offers a delightful range of authentic Italian dishes, and the attentive service adds to the overall experience. Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in a slice of Italy

I visit Pittsburgh often for concerts or work. I have ordered delivery from here about 3 times. Pizza was phenomenal. The salads have been delicious, fresh, and large portions for what you pay. Great value. Easy ordering online and getting delivered to hotel. I would absolutely recommend the food here!

Our pizzas came out hot and fresh. Service here was great also. We had a medium pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, and they loaded it up. We also got a small pizza with black olives and mushrooms, which tasted very fresh and not canned. We will be back here again to try out more food. Pizza is a solid 8/10

We had the extra large Buffalo pizza as we always do. The bartender was great as usual. We shared where we were from, and she was able to give us a good story about our city! The service was good; it was the day of a Steeler's game, so you know it had nothing but great vibes.

We make this a regular stop when we need a familiar family meal downtown. The kids always finish their food! We always sit upstairs by the huge picture window and watch the activity on 6th St! Our favorite area!

The hands down best place for pizza and wings downtown. Crust to topping, each part of the pizza stood on its own but also excellently blended with the other parts in a blessed union of flavor and texture. And the wings are a monument to culinary genius. The sauce for the Buffalo wings, in my opinion, is unmatched. The aroma turns heads as soon as I open the box. It is tangy, yet buttery, yet savory, yet expertly hot. I will try everything on the menu. I suggest you do the same.

Great place downtown for pizza. Reasonably priced too. Little confusing if you've never been here... downstairs is order at the counter, if you sit upstairs they have servers (I prefer sitting upstairs).
