I have heard many good things about this pizzeria, so my expectations were a bit high making my way into this location. Would they live up to the hype? Just like any other restaurant they have their advantages and disadvantages. It is nice that they are so close to the south side where I live. This one is small, but has a decent seating area. The lady at the counter had a gutter punk style with pink hair in pig tails, nose ring, t-shirt and camouflage pants. I liked her style, but she wasn't very friendly. There was no unsweetened tea so I asked for a cup of water, a request which she ignored. You will get your pizza, just don't expect any water. I guess you just have to die of thirst. I ordered a slice of white pizza with spinach/onions and a magherita slice. The crust is light, airy, crispy and nicely cooked. The only thing was I had to hold it up, or else the toppings would have flopped right off. The flavor is pretty good for both slices. I kind of wish they had more ricotta on the white pizza. I think there was less cheese on the slices, but as a result there was a lot less oil coming from the slices. Even when I looked at my plate I could see no oil stain remnants that you typically always get from most pizza. There was a definite char on one of the slices. I don't exactly love it to be charred really, but it didn't make the pizza taste horrible. Badamos is a good and unique restaurant. It is worth going at least once, or twice. Maybe bring some water with you, so you don't choke. I might have more to write a bit later when I have tried some more menu items. Cheers, have a great week, read more

I went here for the first time the other day as part of the Pittsburgh pizza passport program and the wonderful thing is that now I love this place that I wouldn't have otherwise visited. Great location next to a lot of other small shops and convenient street parking. The pizza was fresh out of the oven and I also bought some day-old bread for home. The Coca-Cola comes in glass bottles here made with real sugar. The walls are decorated with old family photos from Italy. And the service behind the counter was really nice. Next time I'm in the area, I would certainly go again. read more

Badamos Pizza - Dining room - Pizza Near Me - Dormont, Pennsylvania

Maybe my favorite pizza I've had in a long time! We got the Sicilian style with pepperoni. And it was to die for! Excellent cupped pepperoni, and they did not skimp. Their house made ranch was SOOO good. We ordered pickup and it was ready right when they said it would be. No frills, friendly service. Very limited seating and it was as hot as the pizza oven inside, so I wouldn't recommend dining in unless it's winter! I'm so glad we tried it and we will be back! read more

Oh, Badamos, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I miss you so much since I've relocated to Austin and yearn to get you in my mouth on my next visit home. Your pies bring so much love and joy to my belly. I dream of the Margherita, the Sicilian topped with red sauce, and even the classic pie, the way one would pine for the love of their life. Your pizza gives me life. The freshest of local ingredients, the incredible sauces, those toppings, make me go bang! Don't even get me started on those mouth-watering hoagies. I love yinz. Fo' life. read more

I have been to Badamos Pizza many times I am surprised I did not write a review. The staff are friendly and helpful. The store itself is very small no tables just a place to stand up and eat. Badamos is almost strictly takeout. Generally I like the Sicilian pepperoni which for me is the best. The last visit I got a half pepperoni half regular and 6 garlic knots. I will definitely be going again and again. Badamos is definetly one of the best pizza places in pittsburgh. read more

Yesterday was my first time here. The staff was very cool and I ended up eating two kinds of pizza slices, plus a Sicilian Blood Orange juice soda to drink. The pizzas were delicious and so was the soda. Nice, comfortable location. Good people make all the difference . . . Cheers!! read more

One of the best pizza options in the city and can taste why it is such a loved spot. Cool vibes inside with a friendly staff that has quick service. The pepperoni pizza was extra cheesy and will definitely be back for another pie soon! read more

Our friends rave about this his pizza. It was easy to order online. They don't have specialty pizzas, but you can customize a classic or Sicilian style. As someone who doesn't eat red meat, I was hoping for a chicken topping option, but they didn't have one. The order was done quickly for pick up. The pizza itself definitely hit the spot. It wasn't an overly thick crust, but still nice and doughy. If you're looking for a good, tasty, greasy kind of pizza this is your spot. read more

Why this place does not have more reviews is mind boggling!!! We have been wanting to come here for such a long time, and we finally were close enough during lunch time to grab a slice. We were greeted immediately and we ordered each a square slice and then one other slice to share along with a water and Turners Tea...a must! We sat in the little but cute dining area and the pizza was some of the best we have ever had!!! The square pizza was crunchy at the first bite and then soft and then just delicious! I wish we lived closer to come over and grab a slice but we will for sure be back!!! read more

I got the Sicilian white with pepperoni and it blew my mind! Perfect crust, perfect pepperoni, perfect flavors. The ranch was so good too! I don't usually go for Sicilian style, but man am I glad I did this time. Definitely one of the best pizzas in the Burgh. Next time I want to try the classic pizza! I ordered online and picked it up in store. read more

Badamos Pizza - 18" Sicilian White with pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Dormont, Pennsylvania

Friends recommended this place to us and they were not wrong. This pizza was delicious. We tried the pepperoni Sicilian and their white pizza. The crust had a nice crunch and wasn't overly chewy. The toppings had great flavor and were a good quality per slice. Now the restaurant itself is small and not a traditional sit down be served place but thats perfectly OK. You order at the counter (where you can see some of the pizzas they have available) grab a drink from the cooler and you can either grab and go or sit at one of the 5 smaller tables off to the side. We sat in the restaurant to eat and It was nice they called us when our slices were ready, once the crowd died down they checked on us, and everyone was very polite. Also the price was spot on for quantity and quality. read more

My favorite local pizza place. All the folks behind the counter are great, and they've really nailed down a perfect pie. Fun music and fun conversation. read more

This used to be a great pizza shop when it was located in Lebo. First time ordering from the Dormont location and it was the worst pizza I've had in Pittsburgh in at least a year and that includes chains. Ordered a red and a white. Both had barely any cheese on them. the crust was OK, but frankly, it was overcooked. Day old Mineo's is superior. The garden salad was the high point and was great and is the only reason I'm not giving one star. And these are $25+ pizzas. The value is simply not there at all. read more

I've ordered takeout from Badamos many times. The first time was from the north side location (also excellent) but the Dormont location is close to home and where I have continued to order because of proximity. While I usually order a whole pie, this last visit was for some quick slices, which is an amazing option to have when you're needing some food before/during errands (never go shopping hungry!). I don't normally choose Sicilian pizza, but this slice of pepperoni was perfection. Crispy but not overly oily. The pepperoni was perfect. I made an audible mmmmm when I took my first bite. WOW. I don't really love white pizza but the spinach and feta looked great, so I wanted to give it a try. While the flavor was ok and crust was good, it just wasn't for me because I simply prefer a red sauce pie. This is my first choice for local pizza pickup (they do offer delivery unless through a third-party delivery service). So, so good. read more

Badamos Pizza - Pepperoni Sicilian & spinach and feta white pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dormont, Pennsylvania

I have been wanting to go in for a visit due to all the reviews on Facebook. Still has the same setup as the old Campeti's pizza that previously occupied the space. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. There is a cooler with a selection of pop & of course you can get Turners Iced Tea. We opted for silicon slices with pepperoni & a slice of white with ricotta and spinach. Pizza came up quickly. I will say the crust was so light & amazing. Sauce was very good but a little too much for me. My husband and I really appreciated the amount of pepperoni on the pizza also. The white pizza was a regular slice & it had great flavor also. We surely will be back. Just wish they sold a whole smaller pie so I can get a fresh piece. Staff is super friendly too. I totally appreciate a smile & a nice hello. read more

My son loves Badamo's, his girlfriend lives nearby and he walks down anytime he's at her house and he grabs a slice or two. I've been to the Northside location a few years ago, but never stopped at Dormont. I was nearby recently and my son was in Dormont so I texted him to meet me for a slice. We walked in and he got his favorite slices and I had one of the special slices that day, I honestly can't remember what it was, I know it has ricotta on it and I'm a sucker for pizza like that. We ordered and waited a couple minutes before our slices were ready. We sat down and enjoyed them. The pizza was light but crunchy and thin. The restaurant has indoor seating, although most folks seemed to carry out. Service was fast and friendly and the place was clean. It's a decent fast slice option that had some good looking pizzas available. read more

I love the throw-back to the 90s feel of this place. The pizza is solid. It's NY style (for Pittsburgh), meaning thin crispy crust and tangy (not too sweet) sauce. Service was friendly too. We will definitely be back. read more

So disappointed. I asked for a well done pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. It was burnt. The slices were not cut through and everything slide to one side. With delivery I just wasted over 40.00 dollars. read more

Badamos Pizza - Pizza was great. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. - Pizza Near Me - Dormont, Pennsylvania

The pizza is good, but the finish on the crust is unpredictable. Occasionally overdone.

Yep, this is the same Badamo's that used to live on Washington Rd in Mt. Lebanon. This pizza is fantastic, and the star of the show is the crust. If you are a bread baker, please try this pizza; you'll appreciate the balance here. This dough is not only actually flavorful, but it's also light and airy, with just the right bit of chew and a satisfyingly crispy exterior. That dough is worth your notice for sure. (It seems better than I remember. I feel like it used to be doughier at the old location.) Pepperoni slice was loaded with little spicy pepperoni cups and the white pizza with spinach and ricotta packed a garlicky punch. The guy working the place on Saturday night was super friendly and helpful. Drinks in the case ranged from Sicilian sodas to Turner's to sparkling or still water. I was there at almost 9pm and there were several pies from which to select a slice--both traditional and Sicilian. read more

Great service, friendly employees. Fantastic food, worth multiple visits. You will NOT be disappointed!

Ordered two 16" pies. One with just pepperoni, the other with mushroom and peppers, $54. They only had a couple of tables but they were occupied by Uber Door drivers. Took it home and found a hot mess. The pepperoni pie was so burnt we only salvaged 3 pieces. Made very thin in the middle to the degree of being transparent. Virtually no sauce or cheese. Very bland and cracker thin. No where near NY style. I've read people raving about their Sicilian. They should stick with that then. Best part; the mushroom and pepper pie was doughy. How does that happen? Cheap with the toppings too. We've been branching out; trying new pizza places. Six different places in the past 2 months and this was by far the worst. Bottom line; Expensive and overrated . I understand they got new (electric) ovens at this new location but they should have it together by now. Wish I could say something positive. read more

Greta service, extremely friendly staff. The pizza slice was phenomenal. Highly recommend if you're looking for a thin slice!

Honest to goodness my favorite pizza in Pittsburgh and we've had a lot. Sad to see them move from Lebo but super glad they stayed nearby in Dormont. Always super friendly folks and love that slices are priced proportionally to the whole pies! Homemade ranch and solid pepperoni rolls, to boot. read more

Anyone who's left (or has been dissuaded by) a negative review of this place should try visiting in person. It's now open for lunch; I just grabbed two different slices (one plain Neapolitan, and one plain Sicilian) among a varied selection, and each was perfect. I know you miss Campiti's, but this is some of the best pizza in Pittsburgh. This neighborhood in particular is starving for more businesses like Badamo's. Definitely deserving of a chance to earn your support. read more

The best in Pittsburgh hands down! When I come in from NYC, this is the pizza I crave. Fresh ingredients where you can taste the basil in the sauce, thin pizza that I can fold and eat, a nice variety of choices including individual slices, staff that are super friendly and a great place to sit and eat. You must try if you haven't already. However, you WILL regret it.... Because you will start to crave it like I do. read more

3rd time getting pizza here, very good. it's been consistent and tasty. the pepperoni is great and had the white pizza, not sure which one I liked better. I will definitely order again. read more

Nothing like Campitis and the food is mediocre at best. A shame they took an icon in pizza and made it no better than Pizza Hut.

Had the white pizza and focaccia bread with salad and took home large red pizza which was very good including the wonderful service

Ordered pizza to go and the person taking the order was courteous and polite. Pizza was done on time and the staff was extremely friendly when I walked in to pick up. I've ordered from their North Side location as was excited to see they opened another place in Dormont. Pizza was excellent as always. I will definitely be ordering from there again! read more

I placed an order online and I almost didn't notice that the site will automatically populate a 20% tip on your order unless you take it out or change it. I really feel this is borderline trickery and that the tip section should be left empty and it should be up to myself if I leave a tip. The people working there aren't getting paid a restaurant server's salary so I'm not sure why this place expects to get 20% off every pick up order (they aren't delivering it or serving me at a table). My order also said it would be ready in one hour and I showed up in one hour and had to wait another half an hour until I asked about my order - it seems they had forgotten. read more
