    Apricot Mele (sorry, it was just too good and I ate part of it already)
    Stacey B.

    When you find yourself using your fingertip to pickup and eat tiny errant pastry crumbs that fell onto your napkin, you know it's amazingly good pastry. I ate part of it before snapping the photo to show that perfectly browned edge filled with tart sweet apricot that created my Colangelo's mele addiction. The cannoli with tiny chocolate chips on the ends was decidedly addicting too. Very, very good stuff if you are lucky enough to get some before they run out.

    They are busy but some pizza slices def have sat around - wait for hot new batch. Pizza was meh. The cannoli - worth the calories. Crunchy, not too sweet cream, topped with nuts - yum yum.

    Stopped in on a Friday afternoon and the line moved quickly. I was looking for a treat and decided on cannoli. There weren't a lot of options in the display cases, though most of the people in front of me were ordering pizza. I got my treat and took it to go. This is a takeout restaurant. While I'm also weary of pre-filled cannoli, this one was crisp. The flavor was orangey and had a nice crunch from the pistachios.

    Tuscan Salad w/ tomato vinaigrette & 1/2 eaten spinach feta pizza (lordie- I was devouring this before I remember a pic!!)
    Trish T.

    Absolutely LOVE this place. I don't even go for the sweet baked goods (I know, horror )! But seriously...their best game is the savory food, IMHO. Their veggie beans and greens is just HEAVEN. The bit of potato, sun-dried/kissed (?) tomato, on and on. I could live on those. Their Tuscan salad with huge chunks of artichoke, roasted pepper, Kalamata olives, and I forget what cheese - with their divine homemade tomato vinaigrette---- this is everything! SO so good. The pillowy square-ish pizza slices are really good - I love the spinach feta; my hubs loves their plain tomato or margarita; my neighbors swear by their pepperoni. I got some pesto penne pasta and ate it a day later -- and that wasn't my fave. But - I bet you have to eat their pasta asap. These guys are so talented. Just do yourself a favor and grab a meal from them (you're missing SO much if you just do dessert!!) - and then sidle nextdoor thru the interior door and have some heavenly La Prima cappuccino/latte/espresso with all the other Italians enjoying a cup. You'll feel like you've dropped into a bit of Rome! There are a few inside tables at Prima; otherwise- there are tables outside or take it home! Buon appetito!

    The meles are incredible, and the pizza is good too! Love getting pastries and pizza with a coffee from La Prima on the weekends.

    Not much pastry left

    Place gets crazy good reviews so I wanted to stop by. I came at noon on a Saturday and much of the baked goods were gone. There were some left but lots of empty cases too. I've heard how good their pizza is so I ordered a simple pepperoni slice. It was good, IMO not as good as some of reviews said, but decent. The slice was pretty greasy from all the pepperoni on it. I also got one of the small sfogliatella. It was pretty good. Next time I'll get here earlier to see what else they may have.

    Menu!

    Run don't walk to this precious gem nestled in the heart of the strip district! The owner Nick is incredibly welcoming and the food matches the 5 star service! I got the melé (puff pastry dessert) but next time I go back I'm trying the beans and greens for sure! Cutie tables outside is perfect for a nice day

    Greens and beans sausage plus egg

    Best food in Pittsburgh hands down. This pizza is the most beautiful pizza you will ever eat. It's a strip district staple- I never go without getting a slice or 2, but today I ordered a whole thin crust pepperoni pie, greens and beans, and a chicken salad. I can't say enough about how the flavors in each dish just made my day. Can't wait to go back, and from now on this will be the only pizza I eat!

    Pep pizza

    Pillowy pizza and delicious mele's. Walked by on a whim and gave it a try ... such a good decision. Service was quick and the staff friendly. Dream about this pizza daily.

    One of my absolute must stops in the city. I never leave without pizza AND the pesto. Never misses. Love to support small and this place has been around forever for good reason!

    I LOVE COLANGELOS - when I worked in the strip, me and my coworkers would walk here all the time for a pick-me-up, and it never failed. If you want to find the best lady locks in all of PA, go to Colangelos. They also have amazing soups, pizza, and pizza roles. Anyone who's ever in the strip: this is a great place to go to pick up some food for home or eat it outside at their cute tables!

    This is the best pizza in Pittsburgh by far, whenever I go to the strip I have to come here and get this pizza, I believe the pizza is called "grandma's pizza" or something like that but you have to get it. Like it's a necessity.

    Gerald H.

    Stopped here on a Saturday late morning while in the area trying different pizzas in the strip district. If you want anything from the bakery, getting here first thing is the best bet- as their cases were nearly empty. We ordered a couple of slices which they didn't give the option to heat up though while eating heard a different person as another customer if they did. Don't know. Not bad, just good.

    I heard this was one of the famous bakeries I must check out in Pittsburgh. I got their pistachio…read moreeclair, ham and cheese croissant, and almond croissant -- all tasted wonderful and light. The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

    La Gourmandine is always a solid choice, and our Thanksgiving order proved it again. We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again.

They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!

I did not need a large, custom order, so I stopped by the business to browse their offerings. I saw two display cases of cakes, bars, brownies, fudges, scones, and cookies, and I saw one refrigerator of cinnamon rolls, banana breads, muffins, etcetera. An employee immediately greeted me, and as I selected my desserts, she carefully placed them in a box for me. She made friendly conversation, accurately rang up my purchase, and kindly thanked me. Here are my reviews for my desserts: Raspberry vanilla cake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - I bought one slice of white cake that had vanilla frosting and some raspberry filling. The cake was fresh and had tart flavors, and the icing tasted sweet. Cherry pie bar - $3 - 4 stars - This bar contained a top layer of cherries. The flavor of cherries was subtler than I had expected. Apple pie bar - $3 - 3.5 stars - This bar contained a very thin layer of apple. I would recommend adding more apples for more flavor. Lemon pie bar - $3 - 5 stars - This bar had a strong taste of lemon and a nicely crispy crust. Cherry-chocolate scone - $3.25 - 3.5 stars - This scone was a large size. It contained a thin layer of cherries and chocolate chips. 6 various cookies - $5 - I rate the peanut-butter cookie as 4 stars, the sugar-sprinkle cookie as 3.5 stars, the snickerdoodle cookie as 3.5 stars, the chocolate-chip cookie as 3.5 stars, the oatmeal-raisin cookie as 4.5 stars, and the chocolate-cherry cookie as 3.5 stars. Of course, everyone has their own personal taste, but in general, my higher ratings are for the intense flavors.
