Ordered pick up on a busy Friday night. They don't answer their phone. Must either place order online or in person and wait. 16" cheese (was free with coupon) 14" Shadyside Special: loaded with too many toppings. The thin center of the pizza is too wimpy to handle all the toppings. Tastes just like Dominos Pizza. Sorry. read more

We ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza about an hour and 45 minutes before they closed for the night. The guys working looked at us like we were the worst people in the world for wanting two slices of pepperoni pizza when there was only one (that looked old) available. We agreed to wait 7 minutes for a fresh pizza. They served us one fresh slice and the old one. I ordered a third slice of pizza so my husband and I could each have fresh slices (whatever). Pretty sure we overpaid for three slices of pizza and a 2L soda but I was over it. Unimpressed. Pizza was pretty mid. read more

Got a plain cheese pizza for me and my partner. Awful sauce. Way too much cheese. Very bland flavor. Plus, the woman who took my order was so rude for no reason whatsoever. Is taking my order and my money an inconvenience for you?! We all have bad days, so I'll be generous and assume she was having a really bad day. Still, we ALL have to push our frustrations aside when dealing with clients, customers, etc. in our jobs. So how about you try growing up like a big girl and start treating others less like trash and more like the human beings they are.... Never going back! read more

My order was horrible, I ordered my food on June 4th 2026 at approximately 9:30 p.m., when I place my order I waited 15 minutes before it entering the pizza perfecta location, and from the door my order wasn't right, I had to wait a half an hour because the meatballs that I ordered for my daughter wasn't on the receipt but I already paid them for the meatballs with cheese that was an additional $3, I get home and realize that the meatballs didn't have no cheese on them so I proceeded the call to representative hopefully they rectified order the first thing he said to me was there's nothing we can do, so proceeded and said I want my money back, the representative said no all I can do is give you a discount of $3 I said I want my money back and I'm on my way to come get my money back you can have this order, because the chicken parmesan had the meat sauce on the outside of the cheese and it made the bread mushy soggy like soup, so I immediately rush back to the store ask the gentleman for my money back he was mad cuz I kept saying I want my refund I want my refund this order is horrible, I never had this happen at this location. So I proceeded the call this morning June 10th 2026 and the guy that took my order will not let me speak to the manager because he does not want to get fired so I'm writing this to inform anybody that orders from this location don't order from this location customer service is horrible food is terrible and I will never go back again.!!!!!!! read more

Located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh is the small & unassuming takeout pizzeria known as Pizzeria Perfectta. I may be a bit biased, but this was our go-to spot for pizza when I had family living in the area, so I always make it a point to hit them up whenever I'm back in Pittsburgh. Pizza quality has been fairly consistent throughout the years. While it doesn't compare to the quality of pizzerias in the NY/NJ area, it's perfectly solid to satisfy any pizza craving, and probably one of the best pies you can find in Pittsburgh. One of the things which sets Pizza Perfectta apart is their excellent customer service and business practices. They proactively offer discounts if you order direct from them, and show a genuine kindness and appreciation for your business when you chat with them when you go to pick up. The employees light up with a smile when I tell them I make it a point to order food from them every time I visit Pittsburgh. I'm happy to be a repeat customer over the years and recommend others give them a try. read more

Solid 4 pizza. Some friends came in town for the weekend, and one ordered 2 pies from Pizza Perfectta simply because it was close by and we were all starving! The first pizza: pepperoni, green pepper - and the 2nd: gluten free pepperoni, banana pepper. The toppings were tasty and (happily) spread evenly across the pizzas. My GF friend thought the GF pizza could've been cooked longer for a crispier crust - but again, the toppings were good. It won't knock your socks off, but Pizza Perfectta is good pizza! Alas, I'm still on my quest for blow-the-doors off pizza in the Burgh... read more

For pizza, you are definitely food with plain, but they have typical toppings as well. They also have great fries, chicken fingers, garlic knots, mozz sticks, etc. Wings are to die for. Their sandwiches are great too, personally I go with the chicken/bacon/ranch. The staff are awesome too, always friendly but straight to it. So happy it's right around the corner! read more

Della Sala's Pizza

A great little gem in the area! Staff is always friendly and the pizza is always fantastic!read more

I'm giving a 1 because all the components were therebut the pizza was cooked and incorrectly…read more I've a customer here for quite some time. This shop will cook your pizza half cooked, as a lot of people like. We like ours well done cooked even longer than maybe the traditional cook time so we always request that. When my son went to pick up our pizza it was already sitting on the counter it had not been 15 since minutes since the order was placed. When he grabbed the box it was kinda wet on the bottom of box so we don't know if they set it on the counter on top of something ,but it was more than just extra sauce and onions that made the soggy like they assumed. We tried to recook it and when we took the pizza out of the box all the cardboard inside of the box was wet like something had been literally poured inside the box. I could barely get it out because it was so soggy it was falling apart. We live less than 5 minutes driving time so it was not from steam and cooking it more once we got home did not help it was that wet.. I have never seen pizza that soggy. I had my son call and they did not offer anything except advice on not to order onions or extra sauce when its humid out. We would have like a re-cooked pizza and to return the one we had especially since we had company. It was too wet to pick up a slice and inedible. So, if the owners see this maybe they'd like to somehow rectify it because now I have to start my grill to feed my company. Furthermore, if a customer orders extra sauce and onions on a pizza that.we are asking to be cooked well done an your only job is to cook pizza, you should advise the customer that it won't be crisp. We've ordered it that way before.. and as I said this was far beyond just soggy it was literally wet..and the 2 that ventured to eat it ,now have a stomach ache. It was most certainly undercooked and so wet it couldn't even be rebaked.

Pastoli's Pizza, Pasta & Paisans

This spot is the definition of amazing food, service, and ambiance. This is one of my favorite…read morerestaurants in Pittsburgh and it really is because of both the food and the servers. 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!!!!

When I lived in Regent Square, Pastoli's was my absolute go-to spot. Whether it was a lazy…read moreweeknight or a weekend craving, they never disappointed. The pizza crust and sauce are always spot-on, and their pasta dishes are pure comfort food. On top of the great food, the service has always been super friendly and fast. Miss living so close to this gem!

The calzone was very good and pick up was friendly as well. I was just confused by the pricing. The meatballs were a double topping so I was charged an extra $3. However, I got only the green peppers as one of my free toppings. I would have just gotten the meatballs to count for the two free toppings alone.

Service was efficient but brusque/distracted. My noodles were dry and bland, and quantity was about 70 percent of normal. The other 5 at the table also felt their food was just alright. I'm please they take cards now: the cash-only model was suboptimal. And, the bring-your-own drinks approach is excellent. Overall, I'm a fan and will go back. But, this visit was just three stars.

Church Brew Works

How many places can you say where you're drinking beer inside the church. They do have a restaurant here and when we stop by on a Monday night, they were we're pretty steady. There is street parking around this location as well. I had the strawberry rhubarb summer ale. It was very light, but still had great room. An easy summer drinker.

The Nook

We arrived at 9am on a Saturday which is when they allegedly open according to their website…read more(Google says 8am) and there were already tons of people seated and even a table that diners had finished eating at so there is definitely something inaccurate with their published hours. Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food. I tried the waffle Benedict and thought it was great. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast but their weekend hours should be updated if they open they open before 9am...

This joint has been on my list of places to try for a while now. Was it worth the 53 minute wait on…read morea Saturday morning? Yes, yes it was. There was a friendly gal at the door taking names and numbers. I could hardly believe the wait time but decided to put down my name and do a little window shopping during the wait. We were eventually called and texted to let us know our table was ready. Our table was in the very back corner, next to a group of girls loudly talking about their drunken escapades the night before. It was entertaining to say the least. Our server was super friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions/modifications. I ordered a Turkish Benedict on gluten free toast.... So. Good. Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!

Seated via Phone Call (Dinner option only). Food allergy: Nuts…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 4 / 5 "If I was a cow, I would tell all the other cows that this flower is toxic, so that I could keep it to myself." - My favorite distraction Presentation is everything when it comes to the drinks ordered at Nicky's and I absolutely love it. Not only do they look great, they taste great. It's always great to find a location that takes pride in their mixed drink selection. The only flag I have is if you order the Honey Bee Martini be prepared to feel like a bee is stinging you every time you take a sip. I enjoy spice, but even this had enough kick to make me savor it periodically. Disclaimer: Taste the flower at your own risk. Remember the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat". - Food: 4 / 5 Appetizer - When you think American cuisine, what do you picture? A hamburger? Hot dogs? An American Flag on the back of a Ford F-150 with a bald eagle in the driver seat? Even though all those can be true, I think of Crab Rangoon. Even as a non-crab person, I do enjoy popping one of these bad boys into my mouth after dipping it in the provided sauce. Nicky's uses a homemade pineapple sauce that adds just a slight tang on this small delight. Entrée - Bread wasn't the greatest creation of mankind. Actually, it was spice because that allowed Thai food to flourish. It has always been of my opinion that if you know how to use spices, then you can make any dish pop. We had the Pad Phet and Basil. Both dishes were absolutely flavorful and made each bite as enjoyable as the last. If you get a box, make sure to get two and a paper bag for reinforcement because if you have sauce left, you are going to want to pour that over your leftovers. Dessert - The sticky rice mango is definitely an interesting dish, but it had something in it that tasted like half and half and ruined any flavor that the mangoes held. The ice cream saved that sweet taste, but the sticky rice that lay below reminded me of a Rice Krispie treat that you found in a corner of your kitchen that was there for months and a friend dared you to take a bite. Disclaimer: You cannot eat the banana leaf...don't ask how we know. - Service: 4.25 / 5 When dining with someone who has a food allergy, you always worry about cross-contamination. Luckily, at Nicky's, even without disclosure, we had no issues at the end of the night. However, as the restaurant gets busy, the service definitely becomes slower, but if you have a great companion you honestly don't notice it. Nicky's also does a great job of not rushing you out the door as soon as the dessert has been finished and it seems each server helps the other servers if it becomes really busy, which isn't a bad system. It's worth noting there are standard charges including a pre-calculated tip, which is fairly common for restaurants of this style. - Vibe: 5 / 5 Nicky's is the exact reason why I started doing food reviews. By that, I mean I wanted to find interesting restaurants where you could sit down with other people, have a great conversation, enjoy some good food and just relax in the unique ambiance. - Overall: 4.25 / 5 My momma always said, "Thai food is a great indicator for a vibe check" and for my own personal add-on, "Great Thai food is how memories are made". If you are ever on the fence about certain people in your life, take them to Nicky's. By the end of the meal, you'll know where they stand. Recommend? Why is this even a question? Of course!
