    Large pepperoni pizza with half mushroom
    Santana L.

    Grew up eating pizza from here but since I moved I completely forgot about this place for a while. We only ordered a large 2 topping pizza. Pepperoni and half mushroom, we normally order well-done but forgot this time. Didn't really matter it was still good! They use fresh mushrooms incase that's a deal breaker for anyone! Also for my ranch lovers, they have pretty good ranch- coming from someone who doesn't like any store-bought ranch! We were too excited & I forgot to take a picture before eating it! Probably one of my favorite local spots! We ordered pick-up, about 35 min wait time.

    This has been my family's go to place to order place since I was little, and it still is. We ordered a pizza for pick up on Friday night. The food was hot and ready when we went to pick it up, and the pizza itself was delicious. I'm always in search of the perfect crust, and Center Avenue has hit the nail on the head. They've got the perfect balance of bready and crispy. The flavors of the white pizza are well balanced.

    Heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day!

    We ordered a heart shaped pizza yesterday for pick up, for Valentine's Day! Pizza was delicious! My husband loves the smaller pepperoni which is what they used and we also got mushrooms. We appreciated that they cut it as well! This was our first time ordering from here but will not be our last! We Will definitely be back! Also the 2 guys in the shop couldn't have been nicer!

    Did you make the sauce today? Is it old? So what is the sauce age?

    I knew a girl in Pitt so I center a slice from here and she liked it. I like it too, even though it's not amazing and is far from my fave in town (Aiello, Fiori). They have lovely service, and serve a decent slice. It's not really Pittsburgh-style Pizza, just generic pizza but still pretty good and worth a try if you're in this area. If you live in Pitt and haven't tried it yet, my question is... why avenue tried it yet?

    Fresh side salad $4.50 with Italian dressing: iceberg lettuce, tomato, green pepper, mushroom, two types of cheese
    Laura C.

    I've lived in Pittsburgh for almost ten years now one neighborhood over from West View and this is my first time ordering from Center Avenue Slice. My order consisted of a side salad @ $4.50 and a 10" hand tossed junior size pizza. The salad was a good size and and included iceberg lettuce, tomato cubes, fresh sliced mushrooms, green pepper and two types of cheese. They include additional veggies or peppers that I told them to hold including olives, banana peppers and a couple other items. It also came with a nice sized round container of my selected dressing - Italian. The salad was well worth the price and was very fresh. The pizza I ordered was the hand tossed pan crust with mushrooms, hamburger, green peppers and diced tomatoes. The taste was very nice and the toppings were plentiful. The toppings were spread well and no one topping dominated in any area of the pizza. This is just good normal pizza. I called at 8:37 p.m. on a Sunday and my husband drove and collected the order, so I have no experience with their delivery service. They close at 9:15 p.m., so I was very pleased by the fresh food provided so close to closing time. I will be ordering in good faith again from this eatery.

    This place is the best! Customer service: The owner always strikes up a conversation with me, he's super friendly and so is the rest of the staff I have encountered. He will tell you about the history of the park too. The pizza is delicious. The cheese is the best money can buy, they made their dough fresh every morning and the toppings are fresh. I ordered a pineapple pizza and when I arrived to pick it up I saw him slicing up a real pineapple.. imagine that! SO GOOD. I loved the atmosphere.. there are old photographs and news clippings from when the West View amusement Park was up and running. Very interesting to learn about West View's history and something to do while you are waiting since there are things to read all over the restaurant. Also, the huge mural on the side of the building is pretty cool!

    I love pizza but this is the WORST pizza I've ever ate. Two bites and threw the whole box away. Avoid this place!

    Fresh made. Individually crafted. Outrageously delicious…read more This sandwich shop is already on the map, but it is going to be a hallmark of the North Side for years to come! Ida's Sandwich Shop gives all the feels of fresh ingredients and handcrafted food. You know a place is good when people are waiting patiently for their food but with big smiles all around. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the shop was full. The owner warmly greeted us and let us know that it would be about a 40 minute wait! In a world of fast food and rushing, it was fine to sit and talk... so we placed an order. We got the Pittsburgh Chopped Cheese, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, and a side of Fries. Sitting and waiting proved to be one of the highlights of the experience, the owner while maintaining orders and checking on the cook in the back.. truly cares about the customers. From wiping down tables between guests, to sharing stories with guests about their first visits, to giving expert guidance on Pittsburgh culture.. she made it fun to just sit and be together. The food came out in the order of the orders and WOW IT WAS WORTH IT! The roll and bun were so buttery and crispy that I can't believe every sandwich shop doesn't study it. The chopped cheese was a harmony of perfectly seared peppers and onions with a perfect amount of meat and cheese. The chicken was a tender cutlet with a thin layer of perfect fried crisp and the bacon was high quality crisp, but the provolone was dripping and oozing like a decadent blitz on this sandwich. The fries.. first off... for a side... WOW... these shoestrings filled the container, my tummy, and my heart! Herby seasoning and fresh fresh fresh! The craziest part... the prices are so reasonable! For the love and care put into this food, I'm more than willing to triple my tip next time! Go somewhere where they care about the food, they care about the details, and they care about YOU!

    Listen..when I say perfectly seasoned, piping hot fast delivery. AND THE FOOD is soooo good take…read morenotes. Delicious reminds me of a home-cooked meal made by my grandmama.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

The business practices whole-animal, nose-to-tail butchery that respects the animals. Even bones and fat are used. My husband and I shopped here one time. On a Saturday afternoon, we drove around the neighborhood for 30 minutes before we found a paid parking spot. Other customers were inside the store, but the employees in the store served us promptly and politely. We saw cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and poultry as well as sandwiches, soups, spices, maple syrup, etcetera. We did not see as many unique meats as larger butcher shops sell. Prices were OK. We bought beef skewers and cooked them at home. We thought that the quality of the meat could have been better, but we liked the juiciness and flavors.

They don't open until 4, but you can place orders online hours before then. Picked up food around 4:20. By time we got home, the fish maintained its crispness. I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.
