Description:
SOUTH SIDE. When you walk through the door of Abruzzi's, you might think there is only seating enough for 10. One should venture further through the entry way and into a large, open dining area that is great for a casual business lunch. Here is a place where Sinatra croons, the silverware doesn't match, the Italian is good, and the service is great – what more can you ask for? |

SQUIRREL HILL. Famous for its competition with neighboring shops, Aiello's "slings pies" using a no-nonsense approach. The owner, Pete, often chats with customers, and although he's good at small talk, don't let him distract you from the mouthwatering homemade sausage that's used on pizzas crafted with thick dough and smothered in cheese. After all, it's the food that gives this joint its well-deserved place on the list of Pittsburgh's best pizza parlors. |
