    Spinach Pizza
    Cameron

    Great grab and go classic spot with some of the most consistently solid pizza in Pittsburgh! $5 a slice, line moves fast so you're in and out, and a few tables outside to quickly munch it down. It's a classic and definitely a must try if you're visiting the Strip. Pizza could have been a little crispier on the bottom, but the flavors were on point for each slice, and their pastries are the typical Italian classics, overall a nice place to stop by if you're in the area and need something quick.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Meles
    Samuel M.

    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
    Pete J.

    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
    Jackie A.

    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
    Leah L.

    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.

    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!

    Jess N.

    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!

    Sicilian Pizza
    Kate S.

    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.

This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.

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.
