Ah, Pizza Italia on Liberty Avenue.....once the crown jewel of Bloomfield pizza, now... well, a shadow of its former glory. I tried to relive the glory days with takeout, clinging to fond memories like a lifeline. The phone number is the same, yes,,,,but that's about the only thing unchanged. Stepping inside was like entering a post-apocalyptic dining scene: the seating area was pitch dark, the lights off, and I swear the heat might have been off too. I navigated the gloom to the counter, only to discover my pizza wasn't ready. I wasn't alone as several other hopeful souls stood frozen in the shadows, perhaps contemplating the meaning of life. Someone asked for a menu. Ha! Menu? Nope. Just a QR code staring at us like a modernist insult to tradition. I got home, brimming with nostalgia... and got slapped with reality. The pizza? A pale echo of the past. Flavor? MIA. The magic I remember exists only in my memories--and judging by this experience, that's probably for the best. read more

Best Pizza in Bloomfield. It has been a staple after every pool trip and weekend orders. They are always so friendly when you walk in and the new renovations are great. We got two slices of pepperoni for $7.50 read more

I know I've Yelped this place before. Yet here I am being reminded to do so. I sometimes wonder if my reviews sink into a black hole lol. Also positive I've checked in here more than twice. But, I digress. I'm a Bloomfield resident and we have a couple of choices for pizza. I like this place. It's good for a late night slice or of across the street at Howlers watching bands and need a bite to eat. It's the kind of place you'd expect to see in New York. Service is friendly, blunt and fast. The pizza is decent for what it is-greasy, cheesy and good. read more

Good "standard" pizza. Lots of great pizza variants. We order a lot of pizza. Depending on our mood the order ranges from your standards (traditional sauce and cheese with toppings) to variants (bbq chicken, buffalo chicken, etc...). Pizza Italia does them all well. I am a particular fan of the buffalo chicken pizza (just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming). I'd also note that the wings are pretty solid as well. read more

I have passed this place for years... I was looking for a place that did heart shaped pizza. My co-workers who live in Bloomfield suggested Pizza Italia !! We ordered our pizza & picked it up... it smelled so lovely on our way in to get it... they made me a perfect heart shaped pizza ! It was really good... the dough was fantastic !! I will definitely be back !! Also, the sauce is not sweet if you don't like that about Pittsburgh pizza. Happy to have found a new read more

Pizza Italia - Heat shaped pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a solid neighborhood pizza option. The first time I had it was through Froggy's as patrons can order from that menu. Hubs and I ordered the BLT to share. We weren't sure what to expect but it was quite good and did taste like a BLT, with mounds of shredded lettuce. I was late getting back one night and had no motivation to cook. I ordered through the Yelp app and made my way to Pizza Italia. The bus was running faster than anticipated (I know, right?) and my order still needed 10 minutes. No problem. I took a seat at the bench and the staff kept me up to date on the progress of the pizza. The place smells like dough baking, it's a wonderful scent. While saw the staff greeted and warmly interacted with all customers, great vibe. As soon as the pizza was ready, they sent me on my way. The small veggie pizza was delicious. The olives and peppers made for good flavor and softer flare. The amount of cheese made for lots of strings when you pulled a piece out. The crust was soft yet thick to hold the crust well. When hubs walked in after I ate, the smell of the pizza lured him and he ate three slices. Note the small has six slices. Great spot and friendly service. It's only takeout, so keep that in mind. read more

Went back here after many years and found it is just as good as I remember. Square and traditional piza are both excellent!

4731 Juniper St TEMPORARY LOCTATION Customizable pizzas. We ordered a large pizza and it fed all 4 hungry adults with some leftovers. If you like a thick and flavorful crust then the veggie pizza is the option for you. The employees were very nice. Apparently their old location burned down so they have been working out of a local bakery. read more

Really excellent pizza. A Bloomfield standard. Better than most of the other places in Bloomfield (and we've probably tried them all). We usually just get mushroom or plain-we went rouge this day and added pineapple and chicken! Rebels, I tell ya! It was delicious-affordable and ready when they said. They did move locations on a temporary basis so confirm before you head out to pick up your pie! read more

I'm giving them 5 stars based purely on my carry out experience since their dine in is closed due to a fire. Plain and simple. Crust and sauce is perfect. None of that fancy extra stuff that sometimes hampers the taste. Best thin crust Ive had in Pittsburgh read more

So I got my pizza and my hoagie today from Pizza Italia and I do live in millville which it's in Bloomfield and the owner himself came and drop the food off very nice guy the food still is up to par one of the best pizzas and Pittsburgh I recommend everybody try them out they just remodeled and Bloomfield on Liberty avenue but was very pleased with the overall we'll definitely be ordering again read more

Bomb dot com for sure. I love ordering pepperoni, banana peppers, white sauce well done and a side of red sauce for the crust. They are easily the best pizza in Pittsburgh! read more

So it was freezing in Pittsburgh yesterday. I made the trek over to Bloomfield for a dog walking gig and had planned on stopping at that new PB&J place. They are sadly closed on Mondays, but I was starving. I have had Pizza Italia bookmarked for a while so I decided to stop in. The puppy I walk has tried to break in here multiple times on walks, and I know why. It smells delicious. This is a great little Mom and Pop to go shop. I ordered two slices of cheese pizza ($2.60). They were very average sized but a good price. The crust is on the thicker side, and they use a sweet sauce with very mild seasoning. And unlike most places, Pizza Italia puts enough cheese on the pizza that you can actually taste it. This is a solid slice of cheese. Nothing special but good. The thing that sets them over the top is the owners. Everyone was chatty and friendly and just lovely. Support this Mom and Pop shop over the chains! This place is strictly takeout, and there is no seating, FYI. Credit card minimum of $5 read more

Pizza Italia - 2 slices of cheese pizza... $2.60 with tax - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pizza was excellent and delivery came WAY sooner than Grubhub said it would. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I ordered for and paid for green peppers, and there were none on it. But it is still a beautiful and delicious pizza with perfect crust!! read more

Pizza Italia - Whole Sicilian Pizza with pepperoni, sausage, anchovies, mushrooms and got pepper rings. Green peppers are missing though! - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I have never heard of Pizza Italia last week, let alone eaten a thing from them. Shame, shame on me for not doing so earlier. I trusted my friend when I was informed that not only was the pizza good, but I'd be wanting more. There was no lie in that statement whatsoever. We got a medium and large pizza with pepperoni. Unlike typical places where you get the big slices of pepperoni thrown on top without a care, here you get the smaller, more true pepperoni that is strategically placed to maximize your chance of getting pepperoni in every bite. What's also good about this pepperoni is that it curls up perfectly to create that awesome little bowl for grease to collect. You know, that grease that you have to just dip your crust in. Yes, I did rip my crust off before I got to it just so I could enjoy my fattening myself. No judging allowed! However, I cannot give you five stars PI (I like that, pi, pizza pi, such a connection). You do not deliver. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and as I was dropping off my moving truck the attendant recommended this place for me. Nine of us ordered two large pizzas (pepperoni/sausage, and a steak pizza) and a hot sausage hoagie. I didn't get a chance to try the hot sausage but heard it was phenomenal and kind of their specialty. I did try the pizzas and was very impressed with the flavor--the steak with peppers and onions was definitely my favorite. Will definitely be back read more

Mounds of greasy melted flavorless cheese on soggy flavorless bread. I think there's some sauce in there somewhere. You could eat a piece of the pizza box with grease and cheese on it and not know the difference. Bonus points for arguing with me when I told them their pickup address on yelp was incorrect. read more

We got this while we were at Childrens Hospital. We got a large pepperoni and were happy with it!!! I'd go there again! read more

Pizza Italia - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped by here this past Tuesday evening with my girlfriend and another dining companion for dinner. We decided to come here after after reading all of the good Yelp reviews. It is a pretty easy place to find as it is right on Liberty but I was a bit disappointed whenever I walked inside. You see we were looking at eating it there and they have no tables. Thankfully it was nice outside and they did have a couple of seats in front although that left us subjected to the cigarette smoke of the workers and a crazy group of loud people right next to us. For our dinner we decided to order a XL cheese pizza and also a large white pizza. We started with the white pizza and boy did it hit the spot. The crust was crunchy, the garlic and herbs in the oil sauce were tasty and the cheese was decent as well. Our red pizza was a similar experience as I imagine the cheese and crust were the same and while the red sauce was good, it lacked a little of the oomph that white sauce had. Overall though they were two very solid pizzas that I enjoyed. The bottom line for me is that I would definitely head back here in the future. The prices were good and the pizza good as well, now if they only had some inside seating. read more

Extremely disappointing delivery experience. Let's recap the order: 1 - Pizza: Doughy, and the crust to cheese ratio was far too high. The least offensive part of a terrible meal 2: Side Salad: Cheese to lettuce ratio was approximately 50:50 and the veggies were barely chopped. Ain't nothing like trying to bite into an entire half tomato! 3: Hot sausage sub: Bread was soggy to the point of all contents falling out of the sandwich upon first bite. Gross. 4: Diet coke: Never arrived with my order! Will not be coming back. Thank you for a terrible Friday night meal read more

The guys that worked there were super friendly!!! Made pizza exactly how I wanted!! Thick crust and well done!!! Definitely visit here when in Pittsburgh for good pizza!!! read more

Great stuff. In the heart of little italy in Bloomfield. I stop here for a Sicilian slice and/or a ny style slice. He makes a nice pie here. Also find them at the annual italian fest. Lots of cheese you won't be disappointed. Fast and simple. Keep up the nice work. read more

Really has gone down hill sadly. Ever since the new owners took over the pizza has become really mediocre. The crust isn't as fresh and tastes really dense. They severely jip you on toppings, especially the basic cheese. Even with extra it's just not even the amount the regular used to be. Sorry guys, I can't do it anymore. read more

There's so much competition here in Little Italy, but this one stands out because it's great every time. Other pie shops on the block have bestowed on us weirdly sweet sauce or the good ol' freak-you-out-with-a-surprise-parm-chunk-that-may-or-may-not-be-a-bone-chunk pizza. But at Italia, you know what you're getting every time. We also love that they're flexible with our orders. We like our crust extra thin, and they always get that piece *just right*. Pizza Italia is a staple in our household. read more

I ordered this pizza through delivery and I was excited because I generally really like a NY style, thin crust pizza. We got three large pizzas, one with pepperoni, one mushroom and spinach, and one cheese. The main issue I had with Pizza Italia was the lack of salt. Everything else was good but it really needed more salt in the crust and sauce. Both tasted bland. With the small addition, I think this pizza could be really good! read more

Alright so I'm not sure how it's possible to make bad pizza, but this place did just that. I ordered the $17 Sicilian pizza and the $8 breadsticks. First off - the dough is a hard, flavorless, yeasty crime to humanity. If I had to describe this pizza in two words they would be "dry" and "dense." It almost felt like a punishment eating it as the parched dough sucked the life and dampness out of my mouth. I never thought I could say this about a pie and I don't normally write many reviews but I was so personally offended by this pizza I had to do so. read more

Pizza was doughy and tasted like the inside of a refrigerator. Hoagies are good, but the pizza is disgusting.

I came across this place and decided to give it a try after scrolling through the long list of pizza joints. A quick call was made to place my order and it was on! Be careful you don't miss it as it's sandwiched between other businesses which is typical of this area. GPS took me to the rear of the building as it sometimes does but no biggie. It's on the same side as Del's but up a piece. When I walked up to the entrance, that smell of yummy pizza sauce and cheese just smacked me in the face. The lady working the counter was extremely polite while I was there and she rushed to make sure my pizza was boxed asap. Hell, she even smiled! When I arrived home and opened the box, I knew I had made a good choice. A pizza topped with a good dose of pepperoni and mushrooms was my poison for the evening. We enjoyed every bite. The sauce wasn't overly sweet but seasoned just right and they use canned mushrooms which is what I actually prefer most of the time. My fellow Yelpers steered me right again! I have no complaints...this pizza is just plain good!!! read more

I feel like simplicity is hard to find. Ordered an Italian Sub and Chicken Parm. Super good. The roll wasn't your store bought Italian roll at all. Perfect amount of meat and cheese. Definitely will give this place another try! read more

Yesterday at work, someone ordered pizza for all of us...for reasons that remain cloaked...in mystery. Were they fattening us up for some sort of slaughter? I had to play Batman and ask around to find out where the pizza came from. "I dunno, just eat it" was the primary response. Finally I cornered someone, tied him up, and got an answer. "Pizza Italia, man! Pizza Italia in Bloomfield! Don't hit me no more!" I kid the yahoos I work with and the Dark Knight Detective himself. Their pizza is yet another solid Pittsburgh pie, the kind you can get at any number of pizzerias in the area. They tend to be similar in taste and overall constitution; tough, doughy, crackly crust, a sweet, chunky, fruity sauce that cries out "I was made with fresh tomatoes," and a soft, slippery cheese that just slides into your mouth, down the hatch, and into to your belly. But it's a hella GOOD pie! If this was the only kind of pizza that existed, I'd be content to munch on it for the rest of my dining days. It was even good cold, and since old man Crowley can't be bothered to heat our building properly, the pizza didn't stay hot long. Yes, we are but farm animals. We get pizza once in a while instead of slop and feed. At least the pizza's always top notch, though. read more

So far, my second favorite Pittsburgh pizza. Just like my other favorite, I will keep this simple. Here are the reasons why I think Pizza Italia is pretty awesome and why I think most people would enjoy it: 1) Your basic pizza shop, nothing crazy (low key, easy to get in and out, and not hard to place an order) 2) CHEAP, you get a lot of food at a great price 3) They are friendly 4) The sauce and crust were perfect 5) You can tell they know how to make a pizza (and are not just trying to for the sake of having a pizza shop--- sadly there are too many of these around) If you have not tried this magnificent find in Bloomfield, I highly suggest giving it a whirl. I know I will be back! read more

Another great day at the Bloomfield pool led me to another awesome eatery in Bloomfield. I seen a nice bunch walking out with yummy fresh pizza slices & noticed the sign stating $1.50 pepperoni slices. Say no more! :) our pizza was yummy & we tried the pepperoni roll for $2.75. I seriously expected one of those little pepperoni house rolls from other shops (which are great btw) but nope! it was literally 10x bigger than expected. We split it & could've eaten 3 more. I don't want to hype it up though, because they weren't extremely generous on the pepperoni in the roll. no spot was empty, but I just prefer like 3 layers of it, haha. But all in all it was good pizza & food at an extremely cheap price with friendly workers. We'll be back! read more

Six words can succinctly sum this place up: Good neighborhood pizza on the cheap! The interior is a bit rough-looking and the service is sort of endearingly yinzer. Nothing wrong with that, considering it IS a neighborhood dive. Their pizza is definitely a notch above the rest and their prices are very reasonable. Unfortunately, they don't do too many specials and their menu is pretty run-of-the-mill. It's definitely a traditional New York-style pizza kind of place (in other words, no crazy/awesome combinations or vegan options - sorry). In the end, you really can't go wrong with Pizza Italia. Just head down the street and pick up the new Woody Allen from Dreaming Ant and you're set for the night! read more

Terrible. Just awful. I don't ever write reviews, but this place has really gone down hill. This place used to be awesome. Best pizza in Bloomfield. But ever since the new owners took over, this place has gone to hell in a hand basket. Literally. The storefront caught on fire a few weeks ago. It's sad to see, because this used to be a favorite during my childhood growing up. Plus thee pizza is BLAND. Tastes likes somebody ran across the street to the ShurSave, grabbed a can of stewed tomatoes, and dumped it on top of the pie with a dusting of cheese. Now I hear their trying to save their business by running it out of a filthy garage. I hear the new owners don't have any experience, so maybe that's why things aren't working out. What a shame. read more

Pizza was great. Owner was great. We grabbed this pizza on our way back to Erie. It hit the spot. Glad we picked this place!

Mmmmm delicious pizza at a great price. I got a pie last time I was in town will defiantly be back! Service was straight forward, just order what you want and come back in 10-15 minutes for the goodness. I ordered a medium (14") pie 1\2 pepperoni 1\2 mushroom for $9.10 ($7.50 + $1.60). Took a quick 10 minute walk and our pie was ready for us to grab a seat outside and enjoy. Perfect location to grab a bite to eat and watch the world go around. Ingredients were very fresh, the cheese was delicious and the crust was nice and crisp. They offer pies, hoagies and calzones... sticking to what they are good at. I will definitely be back to enjoy another slice. read more

OMG , I Found one of the VERY BEST Hot Sausage WITH CHEESE sandwiches that I have EVER tasted. Pizza Italia is a wonderful small business ( and I LOVE Small Buz ! ) You should check with your cardiologist before ordering these fine delicacies. This is a great balance of fine Italian hot sausage with onions and souses. They even speak Italian to each other ! Pizza-hut can burn in hell ! This is how it should be done !!! Also , The Prices are very reasonable. read more
