One of my top pizza spots--it's even on my Pittsburgh recommendations list for visitors. I've been a 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! read more

Detroit style pizza, who can turn that down? This place has a lot going for it, friendly and knowledgeable staff, good location and cool interior. 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! read more

I really liked this pizza! The Buffalo sauce was great, paired with some ranch dressing drizzled on top. I usually love ricotta cheese but for some reason it felt slightly dry on this pizza. I ordered delivery so that could've been the reason. Also, I think eating the pizza with marinara sauce adds a lot, but requesting marinara was extra, so that wasn't too great. Taste wise though, I would definitely recommend! read more

We came here during the day, and there was already a line outside the pizza joint. I was initially peeved, but then remembered this is one of the most popular pizza spots in Pittsburgh. Even tourists have heard of Iron Born Pizza and want to check it out. Once we were seated in a booth, it felt a bit hot inside, so we had to take off a layer. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, and it was very delicious. Honestly, there's not much to complain about. The food and service were both good. It's just very busy. Highly recommend. read more

Best Detroit-style pizza in Pittsburgh--hands down! The crust is perfectly crisp on the edges, fluffy inside, and loaded with flavor. What makes this spot even better is their always-rotating vegan pie, there's always something new and creative to try. The restaurant has a great setup with both dine-in and bar seating, plus a solid lineup of apps. Always consistent and always delicious ! Lucky to have them here in the 'Burgh! read more

TikTok sent us here and we weren't disappointed! The pizza was absolutely delicious - as was their house Lambrusco! We had the Nashville chicken and the Yinzer. The pizza was thick, but not too thick, the perfect amount of golden crunchy crust - 10/10!! My ONLY complaint - we were here in August on a 93 degree day and we were first sat in the front booth with zero air movement. We ended up moving to a booth further back and it was better. But, be prepared for it to be warm on a summer day. Also we arrived before 7pm, so we didn't have to wait for a table but upon exiting, there was a small line outside waiting to be sat (as seating is pretty limited). Overall, 8.5/10! We will DEF be back! read more

I ordered this through a 3rd party delivery service so I'm sure it's better when it's fresh. Don't get me wrong it was still delicious! We got the vodka pizza, white pizza, and GF cheese. I really like their Detroit style pizza & the crust is good. Would def try again! read more

If you are in the market for Detroit Style Pizza, this is surely the place! We did get it delivered, so I can't comment on the interior or service, but the pizza and caramelized onion dip were both to die for good! We added prosciutto to this pizza. I know it's not available all the time, but this was surely a hit. Would definitely try other pizzas and even dine in next time. Everything was very fresh. read more

Love Iron Born pizza. I remember when they were in Federal Galley. Great to see them at their own location and it was packed. We got a table after about 15 minutes and ordered a couple pizzas to share. I really enjoyed the meatball pizza. The meatball was homemade and went really well with the cheesey pizza. Loved every bite! read more

We were in town Labor Day weekend where a ton of stuff was closed, but Iron Born was open. It was very busy, we waited outside for about 45 minutes before we got a table. Fortunately it wasn't too hot outside. I did see a bunch of people coming in to pick up takeout - I recommend that as the best way to enjoy your Iron Born pizza. They came through a couple times asking if folks were ok sitting at the bar, but it turns out they have bar stools with no backs and those aren't really middle-aged / bad-back person friendly so we had to decline and wait for a real table. We did eventually get seated though (at a very comfy booth), hubby ordered a cocktail and I ordered a soda. We ordered a pizza with about five toppings. The food took about as long as one would expect for Detroit style - it's not fast cooking food in general - and it was very good, but it was missing a couple of the toppings. It wasn't that big a deal, we just mentioned it to the waitress so we wouldn't get charged for the toppings. They ended up comping us the whole meal. I told our server that wasn't necessary at all, but she said that because of the long waits and also that mixup it was on them. I felt bad honestly, I wasn't trying to get anything for free, so I left a big tip. The food was very good. We absolutely would come back but probably would order ahead and take it to go. I would recommend they get better seating for the bar and then folks of more demographic variety would be able to accept the offer of bar seating to help with the long waits. read more

I walked in and ordered a pie to go, so I can't really comment on the ambience. The employees who took my order and gave me my pizza were friendly and accommodating. I got a pizza with 1/2 pepperoni and jalapeño and the other 1/2 cheese. It was delicious. Sauce, crust, toppings....all excellent! read more

I went to try Iron Born Pizza while overnighting in Pittsburgh. Wow!!!! Pickle Pie is soooooo so delicious! The "sauce" has a nice garlic buttery flavor with a hint of maybe a scoche of honey. This odd pie was a party on my tastes buds! Unexpectedly delicious and satiating. I can tell this is a craving that I can't likely get anywhere else. The crust is thick with a flavorful crunch. Servers were very kind. I ordered it to go. There was a line outside but well worth the 20 minute wait! read more

Really good, crispy, thick Sicilian style pizza. Could have used more whole tomatoes on top, and the thickness part of the crust was a little dry (more olive oil needed), but the outside crust and marinara was outstanding! This was very very good! read more

Ugh I love iron born. Their Detroit style pizza hits the spot every single time!! I love trying their different speciality pies.

Detroit style pizza might be my new fav pizza style. The crispy cheesy crust with the fluffy bread base was amazing. I went with the vodka pizza since my siblings love vodka sauce and wanted to try this one. I had been here a couple years ago but haven't been back in a while, I'm so glad I returned. The ricotta melts in your mouth and every topping just made so much sense together. Might be the fastest time my siblings and I have finished a pizza together haha. It was perfect for a mid day snack while we walking around the strip district. We got seated quickly at one of their booths, there's not that many tables inside but you can easily bring larger families here since it seems like the booths can fit 6, maybe 7-8 people per booth. The signage in the bathrooms detailing different pizza styles was a nice touch. I grew up eating Old Forge pizza so it was great to see it represented on the wall!! read more

So i ordered a pizza to go from here... and was SO impressed. The pizza was warm, the service was quick, and all while they were so busy. The pizza was the buffalo chicken and there was nothing better than the ricotta stacked on top. I love bread, so the Detroit style is one of my personal favorites. Huge fan. Hope to go eat in person soon. read more

Finally got around to trying this place and can't believe I didn't come here earlier. Pizza is delicious and fills you up. Also got a margarita that was pretty good!

I think they had right concept in their head, but the execution wasn't there. Pizza had too much bread compared to the toppings. However, the staff were nice and took their time explaining the menu and such! If you like your pizza thick with ALOT of bread, go check out this place :) read more

Great pizza! Service was great too. Thick crust is my favorite and these guys know how to do it!

We tried Iron Born Pizza on suggestion of a Pittsburgh foodie group and my daughter eating there a few weeks ago. The place is small but we got seated fast. The waiter was quick to take our order. The homemade chips are a great starter. They have a large selection of pizzas. We got 4 different ones for variety. All very good. Definitely a place we would visit again. read more

Stopped with pizza passport. Been the the millvale location before but never here. Server was super friendly and ordered my pepperoni slice. Mine had 2 pieces of pepperoni but the flavors weee solid. After an authentic Detroit style last summer, the hype faded slightly but still a solid take on the classic profile. Great crust. Sauce ok. read more

I had a wonderful lunch at iron born pizza! This restaurant is located right on the strip. Inside there were tons of seating options and the restaurant was clean and tidy. I got the white pie and it came out very quickly/service was wonderful. The white pie was super balanced and tasty, I felt like the lemon arugula really freshened up the heavy cheesy/onion pizza in the perfect way. Would love to come back and try all of their interesting pizzas soon! read more

If you like a bread-y pizza this place is for you. We got a mushroom and a cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was very tasty, they put the sauce on after baking it which meant the textures were interesting. The mushroom pizza left me disappointed. It was very sweet because of the honey and ricotta, and I could not even taste the mushroom. It more like a dessert pizza. The cannoli was so tasty! A nice lemon flavor. We came for a 7pm Wednesday dinner and had to sit at the bar bc it's such a small place. Would recommend. read more

We wanted to try a new pizza spot in town and ended up here. Although we had to wait in line to get seated, it moved fairly quickly and we had a table within 20 minutes for a group our size. We quickly decided on the Humble Pie, Veggie Supreme, and Classic. Our pizzas came out pretty quickly and we were excited to try each one. My personal and the group fave was surprisingly the Humble Pie (which is vegan?!) and all the flavors worked really well. The veggie supreme was pretty tasty especially after adding jalapeños for some spice. The classic was fine but paled in comparison to the other two pies. Highly recommend checking out this place and the the area in general! read more

This pizza was ok at best. It was way overpriced and overhyped. They have great customer service very nice people, but I feel ripped off. To be honest Jets is a chain and when it comes to Detroit style pizza it's much better in my opinion. Do get me wrong the pizza wasn't nasty but for $35 i could have two pizzas that were better read more

Everybody I know seems to love this spot, so I was excited to finally try it. I'm so glad I did, because it's one of my new favorite pizza spots in the 'Burgh! Their pizzas are so good that even my husband (who normally dislikes square pizza) is a fan. Everything about the pizza works - the dough is so soft on the inside but crispy on the outside, and their sauces, cheese, and toppings are always on point. Their white pizzas are my favorite, but you can't go wrong with anything here. They also have a good Ceasar salad! read more
