Most underrated pizza in Pittsburgh. Some of the best pizza you can get

This was my first time getting take out from this pizza shoppe. My pizza was ready in a timely manner during rush hour on a Friday. The shoppe was very busy. I liked that you could actually see the pieces of wood and the oven as soon as you walk in. You can also see pizzas being prepared from scratch. I purchased a small pasta salad and the Bianco pie with sausage. The pizza was delicious. I enjoyed the crust and overall smoky flavor of the pie. The pizza tasted authentic and homemade. The pasta salad was pretty tasty as well. I am told that the hoagies are delicious. Considering how much I enjoyed the pizza, I will try some of their hoagies on my next visit.

Some of the best pizza I've had in the entire Pittsburgh area. Well worth the drive all the way from Pittsburgh. Frehs baked bread is also PHENOMENAL! and everyone that works here is so very kind. Cant recommend enough.

Until now I had 4 pizza shops I loved in Pittsburgh....after trying this one I now have 5!! We got a Bianco and a Margherita pizza and also a piece of Lasagna. Everything was very good and I'd even say it was excellent! I was surprised on the pricing because I was going from another photo of a menu on Google that apparently is old. I'm including a photo of a new one along with the food we got. We'll definitely be back to try more from this little gem in Penn Hills!!!

The pizza was excellent and had a very nice crispy crust. I expected this place to be expensive given how higher it’s rated but it was not. This might be the lowest priced high quality wood fired pizza in town. It’s mostly a carry out place but they do have some tables outside. There is no delivery and it’s cash only, you will see an old man cooking the pizzas which I assume is the owner while his daughters run the shop

There are many pizza shops in Penn Hills, but this is by far the best one. If you want real pizza this is the spot, if you like garbage call pizza hut or dominoes. Their hoagies are delicious too
