While the brick and big pizza ovens are the characteristic of East Carson Street to be expected, the seating area was less than to be desired. The cracks in the old stuffed plastic benches are literally duct taped with electrical tape. I like the "reuse" but it could be a bit more pleasant. There aren't any options for drinks in the refrigerator that aren't super sugary or "diet," i.e. no seltzer waters or juices, just sodas, lemonades, and sweet teas. But if you're hungry for a slice of pizza two times as large as your face, you know where you can find it!

Came here after seeing a bunch of recommendations online and my son and I split a 16 inch half pepperoni, half cheese pie. The sourdough crust, the sauce, the cheese, all were excellent. The service is great. The bartenders, waiters and waitresses are all very friendly. I just wish it was closer to I live rather than in Lawrenceville. If you are ever in the city, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. It will not disappoint!

Take out only. Free parking. Amazing chewy crust pizza with…read moreyour choice of various toppings. I highly recommend their Drunk Meatball. It comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust. All cheese is blended together and piped in rosettes on top of the pizza. Tastes so good and looks amazing. Walk in the front door and give your name for pickup. To the right are a couple upright cold cases filled with drinks, salad, etc. Located a short 15 minute drive from Shadyside. Can't wait to return and try more pizza.

This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

One of my top pizza spots--it's even on my Pittsburgh recommendations list for visitors. I've been…read morea fan since the Smallman Galley days. I've enjoyed each topping combo I've tried; although, I'm a sucker for the Forager! You might need to wait a little bit during peak hours (it's not a huge spot), but it's well worth it. I'm typically a thin crust person, but the crispy cheese on the side, the delicious dough and the fun toppings keep me coming back to Iron Born time and time again!

I came for the pizza BUT will return for those MEATBALLS! Inexpensive and possibly the best I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot! They're moist, flavorful, in rich marinara and nicely topped with fresh pesto. Delicious-and I'm not a fan of pesto. Do yourself a favor and order those meatballs to go-you'll be craving them the following day for sure. As for the pizza, I wished I loved it but it kinda lacked flavor and the sauce was way too tangy for my little ole taste buds. So if in the area, definitely stop in but whatever you do, order those meatballs!

As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

I tried a black cherry ale that was delicious. My husband got a Vienna lager he enjoyed. He got the black and gold pizza with potatoes, garlic sauce, pepper, res onion parmesan, and provolone. It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.

I absolutely adore the servers here, as they're always super happy to give me new recommendations on what to order! Their wings are the literally best wings I've ever had, and I especially love that you can get them smoked to get that charred flavor. My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try. I also love ordering a side of seasoned fries and garlic bread to dip into the extra wing sauce!! Their fries and garlic bread are crispy to perfection; you genuinely won't find better anywhere else. I also tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza as per their recommendation, and it was soooo cheesy and yummy! Aside from the food being so delicious, my favorite part about coming here is the sense of community you get. They have couches and TVs where customers love to sit to enjoy their food, and it makes for a super cozy and comfortable environment. I also notice so many regulars who love this restaurant and come back either weekly or daily, and it really shows how great the store's bond is with their customers. This is probably my go-to spot to show people when they visit Pittsburgh because it really highlights the city in such a positive light. If I had to recommend one spot in Pittsburgh, it would be this one!!!!
