Best Pizza in Pittsburgh! DEEP DISH!
Marcia F.

Probably some of the BEST PIZZA in Pittsburgh. Great atmosphere! Great place to watch the Steeelers! and nice banquet areas to have an event! We had a Baby Shower here and the guys watched the Steeler game! Kaylie did an AWESOME job serving us! Dom the owner took good care of us too!!

Chicken Parmesan
Jenna W.

Popular Italian restaurant in the North Hills. Definitely recommend making a reservation or putting your name on the waitlist, otherwise you could be waiting quite some time with how many people love it here. Our waitlist estimate on Saturday night for 6 people was about 30mins, which was pretty accurate when we finally got seated at a table. Our waitress was excellent in getting our drink orders immediately and giving us time to review the menu without feeling rushed on a busy night. I ordered the chicken parm and loved it! It had a thick tender white chicken breast coated in crispy Italian breadcrumbs, topped with a layer of gooey mozzarella cheese. On the side was a small side of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Spaghetti was nice to mix with a piece of the chicken, but a bit lacking in a dynamic flavor by itself. My entree also came with a salad and garlic bread sticks. The salad was fresh and included a few tomatoes and cucumbers, along with a bunch of croutons and side of dressing. For the amount of food you get, it's very filling and worth the $20 entree cost for a tasty hearty meal.

I was really in the mood for a chicken parm hero. I checked Yelp for local reviews and Monte Cello's had some amazing reviews. I ordered a chicken parm hero they call it a hoagie. I did do a take out order. The staff were nice and friendly and the food came out pretty quick. I got home and I was very disappointed. The hero had no red sauce at all nothing notta????????? The hero had chicken and mozzarella cheese and that is it.????? What the heck I have never in my life had a chicken parm without some sort of red sauce. I was extremely disappointed and could not believe. I do not know if that is standard but I will never do a take out from here again. The sandwich was ok and nothing special. I m not sure how to rate as service was good and food came out fairly quick , but no sauce is a big thing to me????

Meatball Casserole
Serena T.

A great place for families with lots of seating and great service. The fried zucchini is excellent. Classic Italian restaurant feel inside--not too dark. I love coming here with my family on a Saturday night! The menu is large with options for everyone, including gluten free pasta and pizza dough.

Classic family friendly spot in Ross! I've been a few times and have tried lots of the menu so far- from appetizers to pizza to entrees to dessert. Their classic cheese pizza is almost nostalgic with how good it is. And I love to end the meal with their warm cookie tin with ice cream. YUM! It's the perfect place to get some simple Italian food and bring the whole family. Servers are always nice and food comes out quickly.

Cookie skillet dessert (there's a big cookie under there!)
Molly H.

Visited Monte Cellos the other night for an app and dessert and had a nice experience! The interior is very spacious, even more so than might appear from the outside. Service is very friendly and swift. We tried the artichoke dip with pizza bread, as well as the baked cookie dough dessert (like a "pizzookie" from a chain restaurant). The dip was a little bland, mostly tasted like cream cheese with pieces of artichoke, but the pizza bread was delicious in itself! The dessert was massive and tasty, I really enjoyed the cookie. I will definitely be back to try a full meal soon!

Monticello does not disappoint! Take out pizza. It's hot and delicious. Staff was super nice, pizza came out on time! The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated.

For my brothers birthday he chose to have dinner at his favorite place, Monte Cello's. As always it was a great visit. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday night and waited about 20 minutes for a table of 4, not bad at all. This time I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was terrific! Loves the garlic sauce and the angel hair noodles. Highly recommend!

Ultimate Chicken White Pizza
Tabitha W.

Order for pick up and it was ready so quickly! The Ultimate Chicken White Pizza became my new favorite. Fantastic food, will definitely order from here again!

See all

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.

Finally had a chance to go here. We wanted to get only one pizza so we opted for the Drunken…read moreMeatball. I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. 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.

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!!!!
