I came to this pizza place after hearing about it online. I ordered online for pick up and everything went great. The girl working at the time was very friendly and welcoming. The pizza was delicious. The only downfall is the price and size of the pizza. The pizzas are rather small and range from $15-$20. They have a good variety of pizza which I hear all of them are delicious. I’ll be back for sure but would order here more if the prices or size of the pizzas were different.

We visited this restaurant because of a dear friend who has celiac. We ate here and maybe our expectations were too high. There was gluten free Detroit pizza which we are appreciative of. It’s just not our thing but I’m sure someone else will enjoy. We ordered two different pizzas but they were a little lackluster tasting.

The chips were good! Wished they were hot/fresh. Would have been phenomenal.

Dank. I was pleasantly surprised to find what what I assumed to be a tourist spot was nothing but, and did hella justice to Pittsburgh Detroit-style pizza.

I got the pickle pizza as a gimmick, and it just worked. The pickles were mild and made in house, and they complemented the ricotta dolloped on each slice. I got pepperonis on it as well, and those were high quality! The crust was thicc, which is my personal style at home and I was happy to see it done so well here. The outside has a nice char as well, just enough!

I’m coming back, regularly.

Food and atmosphere is everything you’d expect from Pittsburgh! The service was mediocre at best. I get multitasking, however it was more less the server didn’t pay any attention to what we actually requested at the table! It is okay, life happens! I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. It is so unique and good. The flavors of the Vegas is some of the best I have ever tasted in my life combined. It is a MUST try! Overall, hopefully everyone gets to stop in once when you are walking around the strip, split a pizza with a friend or loved one. I can assure you that I am making a stop back sooner than later. To the owners, you have a phenomenal place, keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!

This pizza was amazing! I am just thinking about it right now and I’d love to come back! I sat at the bar and got an phony Negroni (Non-alcoholic, also would recommend) and the Forager Pizza. It was absolutely delicious. I ate half and saved the rest for the next day for my airfryer. Pretty expensive for the amount but it is very good quality pizza. Will be back!

The best Detroit Style Pizza I’ve had in Pittsburgh. Detroit Pizza is square cut with a thicker crust with most of the red sauce added to the top of the pie. Visited here after watching a Dave Portnoy, One Bite Pizza Review on YouTube. Dave gave it a solid review which made me want to check it out. I’m Glad I Did!

To summarize the pizza taste – it was very tasty and well balanced. The red sauce was tasty and very mild with no bite to it. The dough, although thicker than I usually go for was light and fluffy and tasted properly seasoned and was generally easy to eat. After my first visit July 28/2025 I would recommend this place. I’ll update my review once I visit again. I enjoyed my first experience so I plan to visit again. This place is currently on my Very Good Pittsburgh pizza restaurant list.

I had the Classic Pie and the Garlic Pull Apart Bread, and both were excellent. The pizza had a thick, crispy crust with great flavor and a good balance of cheese and sauce. The red sauce on top was really well seasoned.

The garlic bread came out soft and fluffy, loaded with herbs, and paired with a simple marinara that worked perfectly. It was the kind of bread you can’t stop eating even when you’re full.

Overall, a great meal. I’d definitely come back

This is my second time at this location and the way they run this place is amazing. Every staff member works together to help the customers and make sure we have got food, full drinks, and are never without what we need. It’s a great experience.
The pizza never disappoints and I love that I can customize it anyway I like. They also have options available for vegetarians or gluten free!

After making you wait out in the cold to dine in rather than the restaurant, I was extremely disappointed with the taste of the pizza. While it might look good in pictures, the taste wasn’t there. The wings seem to be from hormone fed chicken. The fries were probably the only decent thing there. I’ve had some good Detroit style pie and this is not it.

Not too bad of a wait. Got seated at the counter and great service. First time trying pittsburgh pizza and really enjoyed it. The dough was fluffy and not super heavy. Good variery of topping choices and reasonably priced. Enjoyed for sure!
