After a long workday, I made it back to the Lawrenceville area and stopped at a bus stop on the corner of Penn Ave and Main. That’s when I noticed a pizza joint that looked new to the neighborhood, I walked in and so be it, it’s a soft opening !!!

Located on a corner, 4065 Penn Ave, a new hip but classic pizza joint called PAPS (Penn Ave Pizza and Steaks), and let me tell you — When I walked in, I was blown away.

The vibe and design of the shop instantly reminded me of an old-school Brooklyn, New York pizza shop, with the finishing details to come, I had immediately said to myself “Oh, this is gonna be good.”
Immediately taking a quick look at the (unfortunately non-pictured) pizza in the display, I knew I had to try a few things. As a traditional NY-style cheese pizza guy, I of course got a classic slice — my forever go-to. But I stepped outside my comfort zone and also tried a slice of pepperoni with fresh crumbled sausage and a slice of artichoke and spinach white pizza. And of course, as a snack to go along with my wait, I grabbed garlic knots and some meatballs — man these were fantastic.

HOWEVER, i just so happen to also get an Italian sub and MAN, it was my absolute favorite.

Italian sub is made on freshly baked homemade 8- to 10-inch sesame seed bread. It was layered with top-quality meats like mortadella, prosciutto cotto, salami, and provolone, topped with Italian dressing, salt, pepper, and lettuce (with regret, I skipped the tomato and onion). It was absolutely delicious and perfectly layered.

The passion and motivation they put into making a top-quality product showed in every detail.

During my wait, I had the chance to sit down and talk with the owners about their long-term vision, and let me tell you — this place is going to be a cool hangout. The vibe felt like 80- 90s movie where everyone went to a diner for burgers and milkshakes… but this time, it’s 2026 and it’s pizza and Italian sodas!!

Pizza night just got a whole lot better !!!

Welcome, PAPS — the city welcomes you!!!

New Pizzaria on Penn Ave & Main St. I went the first day they opened & was pretty impressed with how put together they were for being so new. Got the garlic knots with marinara & some meatballs on the house! The inside is also really nice as it’s set like a diner. None of that minimalist stuff you see everywhere nowadays. I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking for a chill spot or just want a slice!

Quick dine-in for a great cheesesteak. Only place in Pittsburgh with a seeded roll and cooper sharp, can’t wait to return for another cheesesteak and to try their pizza!

i was shocked to find out that the place had just opened up a day ago. the shop was cozy and had a classic yet modern feel to the dining room. The staff was more than accommodating, and the white and red pizza slices I bought were absolutely delicious. I also saw the chefs adding a little more love to the pizza after it came out of the oven which was a beautiful touch. Whenever i’m back in this area i’ll be back to try more!

We had an appt at west penn hospital and popped over to try PAPS for the first time and it did not disappoint. The pizza was amazing and the meatballs were so hot and fresh. The fresh basil they topped on everything was so good. Our two young girls were with us as well.. they loved the pizza. Kid approved for sure. The restaurant is such a cute vibe, old fashioned but modern feel. We’ll make a point to be back when we’re in the area. Welcome to the burgh PAPS
