    Driftwood in neon
    Jessica A.

    Some say this is the best pizza in Pittsburgh, but I haven't tried enough pizza places to make that determination, but would definitely say that Driftwood Oven is a contender. We were fortunate to find an open table on a Saturday afternoon where we enjoyed some beer and a meatball pizza. The desserts are also excellent, so good we got some to go. Servers were all friendly and managing well even they acknowledged that they were understaffed. Cute place - love the driftwood in neon and the mural in the back. We are looking forward to a return visit!

    I came to Pittsburgh for a cheerleading competition and had a taste for some pizza. We arrived pretty late on Friday night approximately 20 minutes before Driftwood closed. Even though it was late we were greeted with exceptional customer service and were seated at a table. Our waiter, Remi with an I and not a Y was absolutely fabulous. He made great suggestions and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the 16 inch pepperoni with bacon. My daughter ordered the pepperoni roll and my wife ordered the meatballs and 2 Bianca slices. My wife's name is also Bianca so a double bonus. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and everything was piping hot. To my surprise the pepperoni came with the real bacon strips on top and not your average bacon bits. The sourdough is top notch as well. I ate 6 of the 8 slices while my daughter ate two along with her pepperoni roll. My daughter enjoyed her roll but did wish it had more cheese. My wife enjoyed her meatballs. They give you 4 and are a decent size. She was only able to eat 3. The Bianca slice is a healthy thick slice. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Driftwood. The service was OUTSTANDING (Remi). The food was good. We ended up staying 20 minutes past closing and didn't notice any change in customer service. This place is definitely worth a shot.

    Go for the Bianca. Trust me on this.

    Driftwood shows up on a lot of top pizzas in Pittsburgh lists and this is accurate. The pizza is Roman style, and I had never heard of that before but it is like a sourdough focaccia. Very crispy and very delicious. My favorite here is the white pizza, which includes herbed ricotta, fresh garlic and white wine shallot cream sauce. It's really delicious. They also have a variety of sourdough pastries and small plates. There used to be a small amount of seating here at the front of the restaurant but they have expanded and there's a nice bar area toward the back, and seating outdoors on Butler Street during nice weather. Our service here has always been friendly and helpful. I have seen others eating round New York style pizzas here but I can't speak to that variety as I always stick with the square Roman they are most known for.

    Meatballs

    On our last night in town, we decided to grab some pizza at Driftwood Oven. It was within walking distance of our Airbnb so we made our way over on a Sunday night and were seated right away. We decided to start with an order of their meatballs, which were absolutely delicious and some of the best meatballs I have probably ever had in my life. Not an exaggeration. We also shared a Bianca slice and a classic cheese slice to start, since we didn't want to order multiple pizzas, but we were very curious about all of their options. Both slices were tasty and the crust had a good chew to it. For our main pizza, we split the SMO classic style. Everything about the pizza was extremely well balanced from the sauce to the toppings and the seasonings to the crust. All in all, these are some tasty pizzas and this would definitely be my go-to spot if I lived in the area.

    Might be my favorite pizza place in pittsburgh. Food is delicious, great flavors for pizzas. One pizza fed both me and wife and two meals at home. Bread is a fluffy inside crispy outside foccacia type crust. They also have pastries. Fast and good service.

    Now, this place is really eclectic and I love it. Pizza was good, but also so were the baked goods. We split a CRUFFIN for dessert - a croissant / muffin - that was incredible. There's a giant piece of actual "drift wood" on the wall, which must've been... well, chicken or egg? There was great diversity amongst the staff and also the customers in the store when we ate. Service was also stellar! Love to go back one day.

    After Pittsburgh marathon day, everyone was exhausted but we all knew exactly what we needed: a classic driftwood pie! Hits the spot every time and especially fueled us after a hectic day! Online order is easy and pies are just as good home as they are there. Perfect crust, cheese to bread ratio, and sauce. What more could you ask for!

    Maple Cinnamon Croffin
    Cameron

    I know they're known for their sourdough pizza, but their bakery options, though few, are pretty solid too! I tried their seasonal flavor Croffin, Maple Cinnamon, and I enjoyed it more than I expected! Didn't get maple flavor, but the cinnamon worked well with the crunchy outside and soft layers. It definitely is a croissant dough, with great layering, but the inside was a but raw and quite dense due to the muffin shape. The cream on top and in the middle was great too, quite sweet but worked well with it. Wish it had a bit more maple flavor and at $6+, I think it's a bit on the pricier side, but worth trying at least once!

    Rapini e salsiccia
    Jill H.

    I truly don't know what the heck took us so long to get here. We stopped in a couple of times over the years, but the lack of seating made us decide it wasn't worth the wait or eating in the car or outside standing up. A renovation and new layout means plenty more seating, and so we finally stopped in at an odd hour on the weekend and had DELICIOUS food. (I'm not sure if it was full service before, but I thought it wasn't. It is now, which was a pleasant surprise. A couple of servers helped us and both were friendly, attentive, and helpful.) Rapini e Salsiccia was terrific, but the crust, friends, it's special. It's sourdough-perfect, and if you're behind the 8 ball like us and late to try this place, get a move on. Dine in and experience that crunchy, chewy crust while it's hot out of the oven. In the top three pizza places in the city (which I can't rank), in my opinion.

    I had to stop at one of the most talked about pizza shops in the area: Driftwood Oven. I picked a few things to sample, I love good pizza and with so much hype, I figured everything was good. And it was. The pizza was nice and crunchy, the sourdough crust is noticeable. The deli sandwich was also very well made, with nice delicate touches of pickled items, and the pepperoni roll was just a pepperoni roll. I have never been a fan of pepperoni rolls, and this one did not make me a fan. Not a problem for me. The place is small, hip, on a busy street with minimal parking, so it easier to come and explore the area rather than just come here. The whole street is full of coffee shops, restaurants, and miscellaneous shop, it a fun place.

    My favorite pizza in the city! We were excited to check it out after the remodel, and everything was great! Loved having the bar seating and extra tables. Drink selection was wonderful, as was the service (as always!). The ranch here is also top tier and we always get at least two cups!

    I've tried a lot of pizza in Pittsburgh and there's nothing like Driftwood. It is delicious--the sourdough crust makes each and every bite. Their current peach and corn pizza for the summer is the best pizza they have to offer, it's sweet and tangy and perfect for this time of year. My all time favorites year round is the Kale Riser and kale Caesar salad The restaurant is a bit more pricey but absolutely worth it for the flavor! Service in house is attentive and helpful. Lots of beer options on tap and cans as well. Highly recommend stopping in to try their pizza or to get to go! Best pizza in PGH.

    16" Major Tom
    Hadley Z.

    One of Pittsburghs best pizza spots. The sourdough crust is perfectly thin and crispy. Tried the Major Tom and for someone that doesn't typically go for a white pizza, I liked it more than I expected. Next time I'll be sure to try a traditional red pizza. We ordered online for takeout, so I can't speak too much to service, but it was ready on time which is always appreciated. It's a bit pricy but on par with the other more "specialty" pizza spots in town.

Our favorite is the Drunk Meatball: that homemade vodka pizza sauce, and their homemade meatballs, along with the rosettes of ricotta cheese is amazing. Lupo has a wonderful char to the crust and the undercarriage is slightly crispy. The second favorite is the 10th Ward pizza: the combination of meats, peppers, and ricotta makes it amazing. The challenge we have had with Lupo there isn't a place it eat inside, and it takes 20 mins for us to get home, so we have lost some of the warmth and the crust isn't quite as crispy; enter Coven Brewing. We go to Coven and get a beer, we have placed our order with Lupo and we will walk down, get our pizza, walk back and demolish it. Coven has some great beer, especially if you like IPAs; Lupo has Pittsburgh's best pizza; I cannot think of a better pairing. The service at Pizza Lupo is great, they are kind even when their phone is ringing off the hook. Our last time I was getting busy signals because calls were coming in so fast. Somehow they maintain the ability to get a pie out the door in under an hour. When we go there, there are boxes stacked high and they have a steady stream of people entering and leaving, never do I hear a complaint.

We drive out from Monroeville just to grab their pies. Located in Squirrel Hill, parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there is a pay-to-park lot across the street tucked behind the businesses. Also, with old school class, Mineo's is cash only. They do have an ATM right in the store - in case you forgot. Dynasty loading - as they now have 4 shops including one directly in the Pittsburgh Airport (check their updated box logos with an airplane flying around!) All day. All year. Always- I would think to give Mineo's five stars, but this order was disappointing. The crust was over floured and lifeless, the cheese was missing the signature flavor pack of herbs, and the toppings were very clumped together under the cheese... but even these nitpicks- this place is a must go to! We ordered three large (and yes, that's a large large) pizzas - mushroom, extra cheese, and pepperoni. They are renowned for their thick layer of cheese with the toppings buried beneath. And this time, all of the pieces were well cut - which is rare. Service was quick. They know how to move through the takeout orders and even if they don't, pull up a seat and enjoy the theater of pizza making that you can witness in the expansive dining area.
