Modern elegance... with pizza that tops the charts! When you first walk in, you feel like you are entering a fine dining establishment. The decor, lighting, and ambiance is super upscale and you start to wonder if you can order ooey gooey goodness with some drinks. The seating is abundant with cute two tops by the beautiful natural light, booths big enough for a family, and cute seating in the atrium that feels like a party! We were immediately greeted and seated. The staff is super friendly and they all help each other expediting, serving, and cleaning. We ordered a Hu-No Spritz and Arsenal Draft. The spritz lacked the carbonation of soda, but the fresh mint and lime were just a perfectly refreshing sip. We split a Caesar salad to pretend to be healthy. The mix of lettuce was delightful and the toppings were so lightly added that it was the perfect way to start a pizza rampage. We could barely decide what pizza to get, but we indulged in the Hot Honey Pepperoni. From the creamy vodka sauce to the gooey mozzarella to the charred cup pepperonis filled with drizzles of the sweet hot honey. This pizza immediately cracked my top 5 of the Burgh!!! The dough itself is just... pillowy, crispy, and savory all at once... and yeah.... THAT'S GOOD!!! Hot tip: They do have a pizza window. How freaking cool! So if you wanna just stop by and grab a slice or wanna take a pie home... they are rocking and ready to get you the goods. read more

This restaurant used to be one of our favorite go-to spots, but over the past year we've noticed a significant decline in both the food and service. On our most recent visit, we sat at our table for about 20 minutes before anyone greeted us, and only after we flagged someone down. The prosciutto pizza was disappointing, and the baked rigatoni tasted overly processed and lacked the quality we remembered. It's unfortunate because this was once a place we visited regularly, but now it's hard to recommend. The atmosphere remains pleasant and lively, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. read more

The lunch special at Alta Via is one of the best deals in my opinion. Their pizza is solid, thinner crust and I like the flavor, not anything exceptional. The Cesar salad is also fairly good, I wish they had a looked less panko crumbs but pretty good deal for $12. Their regular menu options are all solid, I'd say it's a consistently good spot for Italian, and their vibe for drinks is great. read more

Popping back to add some pics from a recent visit to AVP. We've enjoyed coming here a couple times in the winter. The atrium is a nice spacious place to sit and eat and let the kids run around a bit. You can order from the takeout window. Their pizza is always good. We got a pepperoni square last time. I generally like their brussels sprouts appetizer but this time it had a ton of goopy orange sauce in the bottom of the container. Not a positive addition. We did really like the roasted beets side. Beets were a perfect softness. read more

One word ... yum! We tried AVP tonight for dinner. Parking is available on the street ( but only 1 hour and monitored) so we opted to park in the garage - you get two hour free - plenty of time to order and eat. We decided to get the crispy Brussel sprouts and Italian rice balls as an app - did not disappoint. They had a basil/salami pizza special tonight - so went that route - sorry no pic but yes it was yummy! They have salads, entrees, sandwiches and pizza so next time it will be something different! I can hear the chicken parm calling me back already! Will def go back again.... read more

I stopped by for a quick dinner yesterday and seated myself at the bar. The bar consists of seats at the actual bar itself along with some small high tops in the general vicinity. They have pretty good happy hour specials every day from 4-6pm, even on weekends. The bar was busy for a random Tuesday! I ordered my food and was about to get in and out fairly quickly. The side salad was good and so was the parm sandwich! read more

We have been to AV Pizza three times and get something different every time. Before I talking about food, I want to say the service is always great there. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. Now to the food. I'll start with appetizers. We really enjoyed the arranchini (cheesy rice balls). They're super crunchy, cheesy and flavorful. We have had the meatballs too but they were just ok in my opinion. This kid had the cheese sticks. They looked huge, crunchy and cheesy. Need to try those next time. We had the cacio e Pepe pizza last time. We love cacio e Pepe pasta and hoped it would be as good but it sadly wasn't. Other pizzas that people had looked really good. I would like to try the square or pepperoni sometime. My husband really enjoyed his meatball sandwich. The Mafaldini was good but the flavor was not super strong. It was a little disappointing. I also wish they had a few more pastas on the menu. I know it's a pizza place but still. I prefer the pastas at the regular Alta Via much better. It's still a good restaurant and I'd like to come on a weekend where you could try individual slices of pizza. read more

Alta Via Pizzeria (AVP) is a local restaurant that is in Bakery Square and serves Italian foods for lunch, dinner, and catering for dining in and takeout. AVP's menu lists appetizers (e.g., arancini and mozzarella sticks), salads, sandwiches, main courses (e.g., pizzas and chicken parmesan), desserts (e.g., tiramisu and gelato), and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. So far, I have eaten two weekday lunches here. I did not have reservations, but many tables were available. The waitresses provided very timely and friendly service. For my first lunch, my main course was mafaldini (5 stars), which had perfectly cooked noodles and a delicious spicy sauce. I added meatballs (3 stars) that tasted OK to me. My dessert was affogato (4.5 stars). I am not a coffee drinker, but I enjoyed eating vanilla gelato with some espresso in it. For my second lunch, I ate a slice of the Original cheese pizza (4.5 stars) with a combo Chopped Salad (5 stars) and a slice of the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza (4 stars). The slices were large and had a nicely chewy crust and flavorful toppings. The salad contained delicious ingredients of greens, salami, mozzarella, chickpeas, giardiniera, pine nuts, basil, and red wine vinaigrette. read more

Located in Bakery Square and part of Big Burrito group, AVP offers a menu of pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. The bar hosts happy hour from 4-6pm featuring bites, drafts, cocktails, and wine. While the cacio e pepe pizza didn't quite measure up to my expectations, the square vodka pizza (vodka sauce, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, basil, pepperoni) was delicious. The gingerbread tiramisu (whipped mascarpone, gingerbread crumb, espresso, ladyfingers, cocoa) was an amazing seasonal offering! read more

We ordered from the takeout window and sat in the space between the restaurant area and the city kitchen area. We ordered several slices. When they first brought out our order, one of the slices was wrong--not a big deal, but instead of just taking the one slice back, they took our whole order back and then when they brought it back some of the slices had cooled down and weren't as hot. The pizza was good. The specialty slice had a drizzle made to look like a spiderweb, which was cute. Overall, I would come back! read more

After a busy Saturday and no desire to cook, we decided to take our chances and head to Alta Via Pizzeria in Bakery Square. To our surprise, we were seated right away--the place was nearly empty, which made for a calm and relaxed evening. Our server, Dustin, was excellent--attentive, friendly, and on top of things. We started with the chopped salad, which was tasty but a bit of a surprise. With chickpeas, pine nuts, salami, and field greens, it was fresh and flavorful--but not exactly what you'd expect from something labeled "chopped." Still, no complaints on the taste. The standout of the night was the Hot Honey Chicken pizza--a perfect balance of sweet and spicy with a crispy crust. We split everything, and it was just the right amount for a casual, no-fuss dinner. Overall: Quick seating (at least on a Saturday evening) Great service from Dustin Delicious pizza Salad name might be misleading, but still enjoyable A lovely, easy night out--no reservations, no rush, just good food and a good vibe. read more

AVP is really a good place to have pizza and talk with friends. You can't help but feel relaxed in its soothing colors and lighting. Lots of specialty pizzas to choose from or you can build your own. Plenty of other menu items if you prefer to avoid the tasty triangles. The staff is welcoming and typical of Big Burrito restaurants. Parking after seven is usually available right outside the door and the garage is always there, just not as convenient. read more

The mushroom pizza was freaking delicious, nice thin crust and thin white sauce; the hot honey pepperoni was cheesy and packed with flavor, thicker bread and filled. Wow, and the brussel sprouts were burnt to an absolute crisp they were delicious, understandably not everyone's style but they are for sure mine. I like this John guy sitting next to me, good guy. read more

Great pizza restaurant! The atmosphere is very modern and upscale vibes, but still casual and welcoming to everyone. We started off dinner with an order of their homemade mozzarella sticks. They were incredible and probably the best I've ever had. The appetizer dish came with 5 large mozzarella sticks that had a nice layer of crispy breading on the outside that mixed breading with Italian seasoning and of course had a meltedcheese interior. It also came with freshly made roasted tomato sauce and Calabrian chili ranch on the side for dipping. We ordered the Ya Gotta Ricotta square pizza to share between my husband and I, it was delicious! The blend of fresh mozzarella and other cheeses on top of the thick dough made for a gooey and delicious bite. On top were plenty of pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, ricotta and a drizzle of hot honey. The flavors blended perfectly and balanced each other out for an incredible taste. Only way it could have been better would have been a very thin layer of marinara or white sauce below the cheese to help with the density of the dough. We even had leftovers since the pizza was so filling with 8 slices. Best part was that I signed up for their email program and received our $28 pizza for free as my Birthday gift! Great experience and looking forward to coming back! read more

1/29/25 Ate List: Round Pizzas: Original - 8.2 Pepperoni and Taleggio - 8.6 Really solid spot. Had been meaning to try this pizza for a while. Flavor of the original is good. VERY thin. VERY light. It is delicious but also very plain (if that's what you're after, you should be happy). The Pepperoni and Taleggio really caught me off guard and I really enjoyed it. Slight kick. Perfect small pepperonis. Both pizzas had a good tasting crust. Really great all around. The atmosphere and quality is a little higher which shows in the price tag. We got these two pizzas for about $45. A little steep but that's the only knock I have for it. If my total was closer to $30, this would become a near weekly spot for us. read more

I had a terrible experience here. I ordered a pizza with extra toppings, and they rushed it out without even putting them on. When I sent it back, instead of fixing it properly, they gave me the toppings in a separate container on top of the box. That's not what I paid for. If I'm spending extra money, I expect it to be done right the first time not handed to me on the side like an afterthought. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Classic gem in Bakery Square! Love coming to Alta Via but I definitely recommend a reservation. Came for happy hour but turns out happy hour is only for bar seating (as a heads up)! With so many options it was hard to pick which pizzas to order. Tried the ramp pizza (a special) and it was delicious! Crowd pleaser for sure. Also got classics like the prosciutto and pepperoni rounds which were also delicious. I ordered a Hugo spritz and tasted more like water than anything and my friends spritz's also tasted really diluted. So if you order drinks definitely get the normal cocktails and not the spritz's! My friend's bee's knees was great. read more

Solid pizza joint if you're looking for something more upscale than take-out. We've been a few times and I keep not leaving a review because we eat the pizza faster than I can remember to take a picture! Our most recent visit, service was a bit slow but we also went during the holidays when there were only three other tables seated in the restaurant. We got the round pepperoni and taleggio pizza and some cocktails, and it was all delicious as always. read more

I see I last reviewed this spot when it was takeout only. I have now been here at least four times since they opened for dine in so I feel qualified to review it again. It's a beautiful place to eat, and although the focus is on being a pizzeria, there are plenty of non-pizza items if there are folks in your party who want to branch out, such as salads, sandwiches and pastas that you might be familiar with from their other locations. I've never had a sandwich here but their pastas are amazing and I can't recommend them highly enough, particularly the mafaldini with vodka sauce. I'm also a huge fan of the appetizers, particularly the olives and Arancini. I am usually at this location however for pizza. If you come here during your birthday month with a big burrito restaurants birthday email (sign up for their list!) you will get a full pizza or entrée for free, which I did in October. On my last couple of visits I sat at the bar for pizza slices. On this visit I was redeeming my Pittsburgh Pizza Passport. They had three slices available today: square, one with pepperoni and one classic plain. As a vegetarian the classic plain was my only option, but I'm very happy with that here. I also ordered a simple blood orange San Pellegrino. Bar service is quick and attentive, the person next to me was ordering multiple alcoholic drinks but I never felt pressured to order more than my slice and soda. The classic slice here is perfectly done. Not Neapolitan thin but not too thick, perfect amount of cheese, a little bit of basil. It's just right and one of my favorite slices in the city. read more

Alta via pizzeria really snuck up on me. I went a few time when they first opened and enjoyed it. It has slowly become my families go to pizza place. I do have to say take out is the way to go. The few times I've dined in the service has been slow and there's a very grumpy woman working the bar. I was also surprised that even though they have a full bar they only have can soda. My family loves getting take out and eating on the lawn to let the kiddos run around. I would definitely recommend getting pizza here. Beats anything you'd get at city kitchen. read more

My 1st time grabbing lunch at AVP. Service was great for a Monday and being a holiday. We ordered the chicken parm sandwich and the meatball hoagie. Immediately as the food was delivered to our table, I could tell there was not enough red sauce for either dish. The server did bring me some extra which was both much needed and appreciated. I tried both the sandwich and hoagie and preferred the Chicken Parm here which surprised me because I love meatball hoagies. The parking was free in a garage close by.

My husband and I wanted to find something upgraded but also very easy and AVP was exactly what we wanted! Walking in, the restaurant has a cool vibe and the staff were very welcoming! Once seated, the menu had so many options it was hard to choose what to get. The waitress gave us some good direction. We were also happy that they had happy hour deals on a Saturday! We ultimately decided on two pizzas - their special of the day and one of their classics. The special pizza (Calabrian chili and sausage) had a nice kick and it was full of flavor, and their classic pizza (Fig and Brie) was sweet and was a nice complement to the spicy of the other one. We also got the Semolina Crusted Zucchini, which had a delicious salty crust to the sweet zucchini. We cannot wait to go back again and try something different next time! read more

Was excited to try this since I've heard good things about AVP's pizza but was slightly disappointed by the quality of the pizza. Shared an appetizer and a round pizza with my friend. The actual burrata ratio to the sides was off. Salad turned out good tho! Unfortunately the pizza was slight burnt causing the crust to harden. Perhaps I've ordered the wrong type and should have stuck with their square pizza. Service was slow with an unexpected crowd while I was there on a Monday.
