We came to the new pizzeria for dinner on a Sunday night and had a great experience. The new space is very nice - a more elevated experience than the prior design/setup. They were not very busy so we were able to get a table right away without a reservation. We stated with fried artichokes and a caesar salad, which we shared. The portions were a nice size for sharing. We then had the white pizza and the chicken parmesan for our entries. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was also excellent. I highly recommend Spirit. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here for the AMBOY Filipino popup and was so happy at the result! We loved the food! We greatly enjoyed the servers. They were kind and fun, obviously skilled at their jobs. Let's get the one problem out of the way: Our only issue was that the host was incredibly cold and seemed very irritated with us, which we were not used to. We tried to joke and interact in an upbeat way, but they almost seemed to be repulsed by us and annoyed that we were talking to them. We had a reservation, so we really didn't have a choice. I suggest Spirit find a different position for that host, as good of a person as I am sure they are, they don't seem to like people at all. I am taking off a star because of the host being a complete buzzkill to the beginning of our experience. Who you hire matters! Where is 3D Mark or someone who loves to play and makes you feel like family? As for the food, five stars. We loved Chef Raf's pop-up! We loved that it felt like a beautiful combo of Spirit's pizza kitchen with Raf's high quality filipino flavors! The drinks were good. We were delighted at the vegan options and all of the cool nonalcoholic drinks. LOVE. The atmosphere was also super cool. Lots of plants, a moose horn, a bear head mascot mask thing, windows with natural light that slightly look out onto the street. It's not that big of a space in the room we were, but there's one big booth in the back that can sit maybe 7 people if you squish. read more

I recently dined in at Spirit and it was a great experience. There is a side entrance to Spirit's building where they have made into a bar/restaurant. We went on a weeknight for a "late night" dinner. (Around 9 pm). We were greeted and seated right away. I started with a shrub & soda and my boyfriend ordered a beer. We split the pickle plate for an appetizer and then we split a pepperoni pizza. We both agreed the pickle plate was our favorite bite of the night. The pizza was good, but the sauce is sweet and that's not our preference. But we still finished it as leftovers the next day, so it was good! lol the vibes at Spirit are great. Their bar/restaurant space is really nice! I'm looking forward to checking out their rooftop space soon! read more

Great spot for a concert hall and events venue. Located in Lawrenceville there is street parking and a small parking lot connected. It's 21+ but they serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, as well as pizza. Good sized space. I saw an indie band there and enjoyed the venue as a whole. read more

I'm so happy I checked out Spirit's new Pizzeria addition because it's such a cool local gem. They did a great job with the renovation, and the interior details really make the space feel warm and inviting. The food was fantastic. The pizza is as good as ever, and I love that they've added pasta to the menu. The house-made cavatelli in vodka sauce with chicken Parmesan was absolutely delicious. You have to get the Meatball Tripper!! It's one of the best pizzas, IMO. I especially love their thinner, Neapolitan-style crust. The seitan wings were a good starter, though next time I'd probably go with the traditional wings. For sides, the honey-glazed carrots and fingerling potatoes were both delicious and more than generous in portion size. They also have a full bar with classic cocktails, which makes it a great spot to hang out for dinner. They also do have high chairs and spacious for the little ones! read more

Since their renovation and the addition of a rooftop space, Spirit has seriously stepped up their service and pizza game!

Not sure what happened with the food here or maybe my memory is off but this used to be one of my favorite pizza places around. In the past couple of months, it seems like the food changed, maybe the portions were different or they were trying out new pizzas but overall it's just ok now. The ambiance of the place itself and service of the staff has not changed thought. That is still amazing read more

J'adore Spirit! This place is the way that I imagined brunch would be when I grew up and became a little cooler than the other side of the pillow... We almost passed it because it is definitely not a stand out type of place and the parking is extremely tight. However, once you hear the tunes spinning from the DJ, you'll know that you're in the right place. As for the food, carnivores, vegetarians and vegans can all get a tasty meal here and no one is rushing you to get out, unlike a lot of places during a Sunday brunch. Spirit also offers brunch on Saturday, however, the menu is a la carte and there is no DJ. I just felt good vibes at Spirit and that's all that matters to me on a lovely Sunday. read more

Spirit is one of my favorite pizza places in Pittsburgh. I normally order pizza for pickup but decided to eat at the restaurant tonight. The outdoor space under the tent was amazing - tons of space between tables and a beautiful setup. The personal pizzas were delicious! I'm used to getting the grandmas pie which has a thick crust, but was happily surprised by the personal size ones that differ from the grandmas because of the thin, yet flavorful, and delicious crust. I got the pizza with pineapple, bacon, and jalapeño - a perfect spicy and sweet combination. Also, I decided to try a non-alcoholic drink and got the house-made tonic with lime. I wasn't expecting such a unique, fresh, and clearly homemade flavor with the tonic. I was honestly blown away by how delicious this was and that it wasn't super sweet or tangy. Just a perfect balance. Honestly, this was a great experience and I'm so excited to go back and enjoy their patio space some more. read more

Ok, can't speak to the food, only the concert venue. However; this place is super disorganized. We saw the Happy Fits at spirit, and all emailed communications and social media communication was "doors at 7!" Well at 8:37 we finally rolled in the venue after standing in the rain for 2 hours. Thank god The Happy Fits are my favorite band right now, or I would have just gone home. I get security, but like, something's gotta give to streamline the intake process. we missed 90% of both openers because it was so slow. read more

I've been here several times and had consistently great experiences! The first time I was here was for the monthly In Bed by Ten Dance Party on a Friday on the top floor and then came back for a funk band event on the bottom floor. The vibe here is relaxed and low-key, with a creative energy, that I very much enjoy! Recommend checking it out read more

Pizza was massive! It's just fell a little flat - was good but not great. I'll have to try their other crust next time. Not sure what kind of pizza it was that they used to sell by the slice late at night in the back of the venue -- it was soooo good. read more

Great pizza and quick service. They have a great bar menu with a variety of pizza offerings. Stick around for the live music!

I don't know if it was the place or the event itself but it was a bit loud and disorganized when we went for a Valentines Couples Competition. It was a buffet and that's all we knew beforehand. It was pasta, salad and bread. So that was disappointing and the alcohol was marked up but that was to be expected. The space itself is huge though so I could see it being great. read more

Played a show here about a year ago and had a lame turnout, they cut the show early, didn't let the last act play, and demanded we pay them 200$ for not having a turnout. this was nowhere in any communication leading up to the show, and not mentioned in writing, so no we did not pay! will never return or support this place again. read more

I've been to Spirt a few times, but this occasion I really decided to let loose for their "Make Sure You Have Fun" event. Turns out I had a great time for multiple reasons. From the bat, the event flyer/description used super inclusive language for disability and all other minority groups. Nice to see that there are welcoming spaces for people to come together, and have a good time. The DJ's provided a dope soundtrack for night including many different genres (I was there for the HIpHop). The pizza was also wonderful. As you can see pizza x red wine is my perfect combo. 10/10 would recommend. Lastly, this place has a really good bar staff. They were quick, attentive, and conversational. I had to come back the next day to look for a lost item, and they helped me look everywhere. Great service. read more

Spirit is weird. I try to rate and review businesses in light of what they're aiming to project and portray and I think Spirit has nailed exactly what they want to be. I have been coming to Spirit for years now. I particularly like going to sit on the back patio and have some of their pizza or should go to bingo Bango on Sunday night or trivia on Tuesday night. I typically hang out in the basement bar which is kind of dark in basementy. I have been in some of the upstairs area for KSWA wrestling (side note: not for me). I have always been very pleased with their entertainment, particularly bingo. I enjoy their pizza, notably the white pizza, with a thick and toothy crust. I typically stick to the beer for drinks the last night I tried a cocktail- a nice rum and dark berry mix which went down smoothly. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Wish I came here pre-Covid to check out the live music scene & dancing, but only recently stumbled upon this as a spot for pizza & drinks on their outdoor patio. Great service & good for groups. They have a good selection of pizza - we got the #10 and the bickle to share with a group of 5. Both were delicious, completely different from one another (the candied jalapeño & ranch from the bickle was so good!) , & were filling. read more

Spirit - #10 - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food is very good. Everyone we were with for brunch loved their pizzas and my chicken and waffles were good. That gets it to 4 stars. But damn was the service slow. There were only 6 of us and it took close to an hour for our food (I wonder if they had to go buy an ingredient or two, it took that long) and it really seemed like the wait staff forgot about us. read more

Love this place! Eclectic and welcoming. Would visit again as pizza was great and friendly.

Weirdest, darkest, but delicious-est all you can eat brunch for $15 that I've ever attended. It's in the basement, so your eyes have to adjust. Then you realize that the disco ball is spinning and the DJ is blasting some jams while a 3 year old takes it away on the dance floor. You have some biscuits with gravy or berry compote, quiche, fresh grapefruit slices, salad decorated with mandolined radishes, exquisite pizza, and perfect $3 cold-brew coffee (or included free bottomless drip!). You leave happy. UPDATE: Tried brunch out on the patio (I was a fool before for not realizing its glory!), and it was fabulous as expected. Going to keep coming back to this gem. read more

This place has an ambiance. It is an ambiance that reminds me of Ben Horne's Great Northern Hotel in Twin Peaks, as reconstructed by twentysomething rock'n'roll hipster types trying to recreate the same energy. This place also reminded me faintly of the rock venues I used to frequent in my hometown as a teenager before those venues were steamrolled by merciless market forces and replaced with less pleasant establishments. If I am to provide another comparison, this is a venue I could easily see having a small role in a film like Walter Hill's Streets of Fire. This is a bar and music venue whose visual presentation is clearly in the hands of young-ish people in love with late twentieth century media, and it shows in ways that I consider quite pleasant and comforting. Once you get past the lobby there are two separate levels. One is an upstairs section at which the shows take place. The other is a downstairs section which is more of a casual bar, pizzeria, and sometime discotheque. I have only been to the downstairs section, although I intend to soon attend a show in the upstairs section and will update once that transpires. The bartenders are friendly and happy to answer your questions, and will remember you even after one night out there, which says a lot to their attentiveness and friendliness. I can speak very highly of Spirit's customer service. I've been here on a casual day when there was an interactive bingo game going on hosted by a bartender with an energetic personality comparable to that of a young Liza Minelli, and also when there was an Italian-themed Disco night. Late into the night, I had the delight of being served after-midnight spaghetti by a gentleman on rollerblades in a pup mask, which gave the event a good degree of flavor. Recommended food/drink combo: Arugula Pizza, Aperol Spritz read more

This place is WEIRD... like REALLY weird. It was one of the most uncomfortable dining situations I've ever encountered as a matter of fact. My boyfriend and I purchased a "Just Pay Half" deal: $12.50 for $25 toward food and drink purchases, so we decided to stop by for a pizza Friday evening around 8:00. When we walked in, music was blaring (my fault for not realizing it is "clubish" before coming). There was a $10 cover fee to go upstairs, so we just decided to go downstairs to get our pizza. The ambiance was dark and creepy... similar to what I'd imagine living in an Edgar Allen Poe poem would be like. We decided to order a pepperoni pizza; $25 for a pizza is insane in my book! We also ordered drinks and to say the bartender was unpleasant is being polite. This bartender was MISERABLE. She was rude, especially when I asked if I could order my pizza at the bar. Then she proceeded to have an attitude while she asked for our drink order. The pizza was mediocre in my opinion. It tasted like a pizza I could make at home. I thought the pizza would be Spirit's saving grace, but it was definitely not. Edible? Yes. $25 deliciousness? NO. When we were done, I asked to use my Just Pay Half deal on the check. All of the employee were unsure of how to use it... they apologized because they "only get one like every two months." They then proceeded to ask me if I could scan it on my phone? I was so confused by this. 100% would never come back to Spirit... at least now I know?! read more

This was my second visit. Don't be deterred from the looks of things outside-Or inside as a matter of fact (quite retro & locates in the basement). The staff are super nice & the pizza is awesome. Plus drinks are cheap & they even have happy hour. We had a company happy hour here on a Friday & they created a special cocktail just for us. Our server was awesome & on top of things doing separate checks for like 16 people. They do have live music too. But earlier in the evening people even stopped in with kids. In summer there is a back patio. I parked in a lot to the right of the building & because it's off the slower end of Butler St you can still find free street parking as well, which is handy. read more

Incredible place for food and dancing! I came here for the Taylor Swift Dance Party they were hosting upstairs, but we first stopped downstairs for food. We ordered the Bickle pizza, which is cheese and pepperoni with jalapeños and ranch dressing. It had deliciously crispy crust from the wood fire oven, packed with toppings, and layered with a thin layer of sweet tomato sauce. The jalapeños weren't too spicy and the ranch dressing balanced out the heat. I was impressed with how quickly they got us our pizza with how crowded it was. Within 15 minutes a waiter brought our pizza out so we were able to make it to the event upstairs on time. The event itself was absolutely incredible! They had decorations and themed drinks for the night. Lights strung up everywhere and a disco ball rotating in the center of the dance floor. The speakers were loud enough to hear the music, but not overpowering that it hurt your ears and they projected Taylor Swift music videos on stage all night. Fantastic experience and I cannot wait to go back for another dance party. read more

This past Sunday one of the several times I've been to Spirit, and it's always been an eccentric and fun time! The first was for a music performance, the second was just to hang out, and this most recent visit was for Sunday's "Bingo Bango." Spirit is known for its pizza which is SO GOOD, but their drinks are also awesome. Last time I got a chard margarita and this time I got a tomatillo margarita and a few hot ciders. It's always a pleasant surprise to see what's on the menu for both food and drinks. Drinks can be a little pricey, which is the only drawback for me. One of the coolest things about Spirit is the atmosphere. It's always super strange in a positive way and you really never know what to expect. Bingo bango is definitely not family appropriate, but it's a fun activity for friends or maybe even a date that doesn't mind something out of the ordinary! read more

I stumbled upon this joint after seeing an advertised art show on Facebook, but apparently this place only opened a few weeks back under this new name. My first impression was that this place was going to be a gallery - but to my surprise it is indeed a funny little dive bar that does it all - art on the walls, a projector that shows movies and the all important GOT on Sunday nights, plus their better than most bar and food selection. The interior is definitely a lodge-y feel with wood panel walls and quaint Christmas lights hanging as if you were hanging out in your parents basement. The bartenders are friendly and timely. Since there isn't too much of a crowd, the bar staff has time to experiment and try some new mixology, ready to try a new combination as requested. There was also more food than I expected. I saw a few groups of people ordering pizza, which were served on pizza boxes. read more

Love me some slice island. These guys are always slinging pie until the wee hours of the nights (Thursday through Saturday until 1 AM). The pizza and cheese is made in-house daily, quality ingredients for sure! Fresh focaccia bread baked with unbleached flour. Plus, they pull their own mozzarella and curdle their own ricotta. They always have a vegan option as well, which includes their house-made red sauce seasoned with fresh herbs. Topping are a bit pricey, especially for a whole pie, but I love how they sauté and season the veggies first to give some added flavor. Their salads and garlic knots are also delicious and everything is super fresh. Evident by the crowds of people you'll find in the kitchen night after night. Great pizza and tons of variety, worth the try if you haven't had it yet! read more

I love everything about Spirit. They have the ability to gather crowds from all walks of life and it works. This is a fun place to see bands, have brunch, eat pizza, attend an art show. Everything the try seems to be a success. I like the various themes of events like the Pancakes and Booze art shows. $5 gets you in the door to see local art and eat all of the pancakes you can. The Bloody Mary bar at brunch is really brilliant. Just recently they had a light installation in display from a local artist (The Vault) that I wish could be there permanently. Spirit is a concept that I would gladly take any out of town guest to see. And the food...OMG brunch is always fresh and the pizza, wow...definitely some of my favorite in town. read more

Spirit is a very unique venue. They have a full bar in the basement with smaller events and a bigger stage for concerts upstairs. The bartenders have always been friendly and generous with drinks. We love the pizza! We've had a handful of different toppings and have enjoyed all of them. Each slice is 2 triangles cut into a square so you don't have to order a lot of be full. I'd recommend trying to buy a concert ticket at the venue to save money from online fees read more

Spirit is one of the best venues in Pittsburgh. I've attended so many different, unique, events here from drag king/queen shows, a fermentation festival, a dance party with a light installation, a Diane coffee NYE party, and trivia nights. It would be a travesty to lose something Pittsburgh desperately needs. I hope this venue thrives again in 2021. This review is mostly in regard to the pizza kit we picked up at the Bloomfield market last Saturday. It was such a simple kit with sauce, dough, and mozzarella, but it was sooo good! I think it's the salty sauce and crispy crust combo. We topped it with chanterelle mushrooms and canned octopus. I will definitely pick up the kit again next time I see it at the market! read more

Loves this strange find. Came about 4 hours from home to see Vacationer play this small venue. The code was perfect for the band, and we had a great time. The food was a great surprise and the white pizza was to die for. Super friendly staff in the pizza joint. Amazing lil patio, wish it wasn't winter. Reminded me of all the fave patios in San Francisco. All in all, a super great time. My only wish is that for concerts where people DANCE, aka Vacationer, the dining tables were a huge bummer. We had to squeeze into a little standing room between a merch table and a dining couple to dance. Hindering merch sales, but finding no where else to stand. Maybe just researching who the performer is before opening the room for the night, tables could be moved. Love it there though!! read more
