    Hawaiian Pizza
    Darren W.

    With almost 2 hours to burn prior to the Yngwie Malmsteen concert at the nearby Library Music Hall and wanting to avoid getting gouged by their weak snack bar ($3 for a bag of chips???), we strolled through the venue's adjacent park and towards a shopping plaza, intending on hitting up the Redhead until Mama Pepino's stole our gaze. Their Hawaiian Pizza was just what Kay needed to kill her pang-plagued stomach. The bacon, ham, and pineapple were generous as was (perhaps too much so) the deeply savory sauce which came off like a hearty tomato soup. The crust was truly the pie's best quality, however. Imagine the perfect balance between crispness and chew, and let Mama have her way...with you. Also rock-solidly good was my half Italian Hoagie, one that succeeded with both a quality bread that was baked through yet not so much that it lost its plushness and a very ample helping of meats in addition to the requisite fresh vegetables and dressing. The staff was a hoot. They put up with us famously and joked with us when I came back from Wendy's (MP's doesn't have a public bathroom) with a Frosty for Kay. Afterwards, we took in a symphony... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD-v7vVxJ4U

    I ordered gyro salad No green peppers. I received salad with peppers and cold meat

    Completely OVER Mama Pepinos SMH!! I'm sad to say but I don't think I'm ordering from them again. Their pizza is really good my kids love it. However every time I try to get something else it's a fail. This last time I ordered a gyro salad no green peppers. When it arrived not only did it have green peppers but the gyro meat was completely cold. I called to complain and get a new salad. Person on the phone was rude put me on hold twice while I was speaking. So now I don't even want the salad but was told they don't do refunds. Manager said he knows meat was on the grill bc he saw it. But I'm just wondering to myself I f the meat was hot my cheese would have melted. Right!? Basically it's a hit or miss with them and I'm just not gonna waste my money.

    My diner tonight.  Even got a cup for the reopening today.

    I have been waiting a year for them to reopen after a fire shut them down. While I was disappointed it took so long I'm happy to have one of my go two spots back. The pizza is always good n love the breadsticks and hoagies. The owner is a super cooL local guy. Only issue I ever had is sometimes getting put on hold for a prolonged period when calling to order. Haven't had a bad or messed up order yet!

    Excellent pizza. The space has been nicely renovated, but it still has the feel of the original…read moreshop. All the staff have a particular "we're just making pizza" vibe. You can certainly eat in, but my preference is takeout. The restaurant excels at either. The only detail to note is that this is a cash-only operation, so be prepared. In terms of the actual food, the star of the show is clearly the pizza. I prefer the traditional pizza (i.e., with red sauce). No matter which pizza you order, this is a place that provides a pizza with an excellent crust. Large crumb. Good chew. It's probably the best crust in town. We ordered a series of vegetable toppings, and the result was great. Picking and choosing toppings seems like the best bet for a vegetarian experience. The Aiello's Salad was fine: about what you would expect for a pizza shop salad. The veggie hoagie was nicely flavored, with a good balance of flavor and acidity (from the dressing). The stuffed veggie slice was what it was. We tried it on a whim, and it came out exactly as described: two slices of veggie pizza stuck together. Fine, but not necessary if you're ordering pizza anyway. All told, this is an excellent destination. It's a real Squirrel Hill institution for a reason, and it continues to be worth checking out.

We visited this evening and service was a smidgen slow ... Which they attributed to having a large order for pickup. Yeah, large meaning 35 pizzas!!! That worked out to $950 some dollars and they were only accepting cash! Imagine your pizza being so good an after-wedding reception orders 35 of them ... Yep, Aiellos is that good. People growing up here have their favorites and Mineos was my fave for pizza and Napolis was my fave for hoagies. Or you could just go to Aiellos and everything is great!

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.

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!!!!

I had already done some Yelp research and called on my way and ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It was a little spicy, for me it was fine but if you don't like spice don't order this pizza.

It was very good, my only issue which wasn't a big one is that when I called I was placed on hold for several minutes and had to hang up and call back. Pastoli's is worth giving a try if you're in the area.

The toppings were about what you would expect, but overall nicely presented. My only minor feedback was that the pizza was a little light on tomato sauce. The house salad was also nicely done. At first, it looked a little heavy on the cheese, but there was plenty of lettuce and vegetable toppings to balance things out. It made for a nice pizza shop style salad. In terms of ordering, everything was fairly easy. They don't really have a web site, so the best option is to call to place an order. In terms of finding a menu, they seem to have menu photos listed on their Facebook page. Not ideal, but that's where they are. If all else fails, you can basically expect all the normal options for a pizza place. Also note that this is very much a takeout pizza establishment.

    Honest review! 10/10…read more Let's start with the fact that I could smell this place down the street before I even got out of my car! My mouth was salivating before I even got inside! 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!

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.
