I visited Badamo's Northside in the evening. Some of the pizzas had clearly been sitting out for a while, but the white pizza was glistening with that fresh out of the oven look so I tried a slice. Wow! Certainly one of the best single slices I've had in Pittsburgh... ever! Layers of excellent flavors and textures, chewy stringing pizza cheese with blobs of smooth rich ricotta, then you reach the tart fresh cherry tomato bits and the garlic sauce, then the toasty crunchy crust... it all comes together well and it's beautiful. If you've been raised on great New York pizza, no it's not quite at that level, which is why it gets 4 stars from me and not 5, but it's darned good! I think the best time to go is when they're busy at lunch time, and definitely go for the pizza that's fresh out of the oven. read more

Best Sicilian pizza in Pittsburgh. The crust smacks and the toppings are fresh. The service is always good. Their salads are also very good. Love the garbanzo beans. read more

The location is pretty small, it seems it's a takeout spot primarily though they do have some space along the wall to stand and eat. The staff was friendly and the prices are reasonable. We had the margherita pizza. It honestly wasn't very good, their tomato sauce tasted more like spaghetti sauce on the pizza. Would definitely go back though and try something else the next time. read more

Badamo's Pizza - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love this place. Their pizza crust is great (especially the Sicillian) but, for me the sauce is even more important and they don't let you down. One of my favorite pizza shops in Pittsburgh. I could eat this every day. read more

Best New York-style pizza I've had in Pittsburgh yet. Folks making the pizzas are super nice too!

Five freaking stars. Everything has aligned with the world. Pizza in Pittsburgh is a hot topic, at least for me. Most places that used to sling a good pie are kind of mediocre now and new places are usually better than chain places but not amazing. Cue the Badamo's Sicilian pie. Sometimes Sicilian pies in Pittsburgh have too much crust (aka not like my grandmas), and sometimes they're too chewy and don't give enough crunch to the crust. But omg this was perfect. Not tooooo thick and not doughy with a perfect sauce and cheese. Oh and LITTLE PEPS. Gotta love a place with solid little peps. Seriously though, best $20 I'll spend this week. read more

Badamo's Pizza - Sicilian with pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Good pizza overall. It has a thin chewy type of crust which is not my preferred crust type but it is still good. A little oily for me but that is how most people prefer their pizza. I would also like to have a little more tomato sauce in my pizza personally but a lot of people prefer less sauce. It definitely is a pizza where you would finish all of your leftovers even if it is not your "type" because it is still well made pizza; I just tend to prefer Chicago style pizza more than New York style myself. What stands out for me is the flavor. I particularly liked the flavor of the sausage and mushrooms together when added to the pizza. They give you a nice selection of toppings to choose from and the toppings are higher quality than other pizza places. My partner really liked the garlicky flavor of the white pizza and the ricotta cheese and tomatoes they put on top. read more

The best garlic knots and ranch dressing anywhere. N-E-Where. So happy this place is in my neighborhood. the Northside. I don't know her name, but there's one gal who works at the front and she is legit. But everyone there is nice. Love this place. read more

If you're in the mood for good pizza, look no further. Everything I've ever tried from here was fantastic. I last ordered the Sicilian white and a veggie pizza. The pizzas were both delicious. We picked up our order to go, it only took about 30 minutes. The white Sicilian has some of the best crust I've ever had! The cheese melts perfectly and it has such a great crunch. If you're looking for a sit down place to eat, this isn't it. They have a small store front, it's more of a pick up and go environment. I highly recommend Badamo's for anyone who likes a good pizza. It's walking distance if you live in the war streets! Plus it's right next to the park if you're looking to have a picnic/lunch in Northside! read more

Their Sicilian pizza is probably the best I've ever had. The sauce is really good it has a little bit of spice to it. This is a real treat when we get it. I'm sure it's not low CAL but....You have to try it at least once. Then you'll be Addicted like me. read more

My husband I went to the Mt. Lebanon location and this was no joke the best pizza we've ever had in Pittsburgh! Slices are only $2-$2.50 each but taste like they're from a much more expansive restaurant. We got one slice of everything to try and our favorite was the Sicilian pepperoni, but honestly everything was amazing! We appreciated the quality of the ingredients and the crispy, light crust. The icing on the cake was that the staff was so welcoming and kind! We will definitely be back. read more

Tried one of each of the slices to go tonight with my husband and we were really impressed! Delicious cheese/sauce and fresh crispy crust. The ranch for dipping is a must. The People working there were nice and we didn't have to wait long at the window. I am normally not a Sicilian girl but it was so tasty. I was also shook how close the normal plain slice tasted to authentic NYC. We will be back! read more

This was some of the best pizza that I have had in the Pittsburgh area. I was buying lunch for a hungry construction crew. Badamos did not disappoint. The pizza was a huge New York style pie. The people were friendly when I picked up and the customers were happy. My only comment is I wish they had delivery b cause the parking situation can be difficult. read more

Badamo's has the best pizza in Pittsburgh. Do yourself a favor, order a Sicilian 1/2 extra cheese and 1/2 pepperoni. You'll have food for all weekend, so be prepared! The staff is very friendly and always on point! Another highlight is pizza by the slice, if you're not looking for all weekend pizza! read more

Showed up about 30 min before they closed. They were super nice, we ordered a Sicilian w pepperoni and a regular white slice and also got a pepperoni roll. Awesome flavors in all 3. Crust is crispy and tasted so good. Red sauce was on point. The olive oil and garlic on the white slice was such a great combination! Only in town for a few days but this place is too good not to try again! read more

Never understood how when favorite pizza polls come out why this isn't at the top of everyone's list.

Wicked good pizza. Got a normal pie and a Sicilian. The Sicilian is more of a grandma style and that's a good thing. Dough had great flavor and chew. Sauce was tasty and just the right amount of cheese. Definitely going here again read more

This is some of the best pizza in Pittsburgh. I have it often. I love that you can get slices or whole pies. I also loved their dedication to serve food during the pandemic. They figured out a way to serve it safely. They are great people as well. Thank you to Badamos for all the hard work and great pizza from a true Pittsburgh family. read more

Don't sleep on this place. The best pizza I've had since moving to Pittsburgh. The margarita is my favorite. The perfect ratio of mozzarella and sauce. The hoagies are great too. Staff is always friendly. read more

Heard a lot about Badamo's and finally got to try it. Sorry to say but I was somewhat disappointed. Ordered their basic cheese (red) pizza from the menu. Tasted good but the crust was too well done. No give to it at all, pretty hard. Maybe it was just a bad pizza and a mistake happened? I'd like to give them another try and hopefully upgrade my review if it is better next time. read more

Ok...I really love this place BUT could you please stop burning the pizzas ? Past two orders of Sicillian have been burnt. It truly takes away from the flavor of the cheese and sauce. Please stop burning the pizzas. read more

Crispy, thin crust and all of the impulsive sides or toppings you'd want in a good slice. My favorite is the Sicilian square cut. They also do hoagies and salads, everything fresh and made from scratch and good enough to eat too fast so you end up burning the roof of your mouth and honestly you don't even care because there's another bite left and you know you'll complain about it later but is that a meatball hoagie on the menu and did that guy just order a pepperoni roll how do I get in on this I only ordered a slice of mushroom and a garlic knot?? In a city full of polarizing pizza opinions, Badamo's pizza has quickly become a top contender for Best Slice. Anthony Badamo brings all of the love and heart and taste of a solid New York style pizza joint with a supportive smile and a genuine interest in his customers, his employees, and his product. People have been raving about the Mt. Lebanon location for years--I love it, too, but it's quite the long distance relationship for someone that lives in the city. Badamo's Pizza is doing a dope thing bringing a set of awesome standards to affordable food and expanding to serve as many people as they can in Pittsburgh. Can't wait to order here for the rest of my life, or at least until they open up a third location even closer. read more

Got the Sicilian, out of this world! best kept secret in the city. Love the sauce on top and the cupping pepperoni!

Bomb! Super affordable and great quality! If you go around lunch time, expect the wait to be a bit long though. They get a ton of business from the hospital and offices around there. Other than that, it's great, my fav is the steak hoagie and the salad!!! read more

What an amazing pie. I got the white pizza and it had peppers, tomatoes, and ricotta cheese atop it. It was one of the best white pizzas i've ever sunk my teeth into. I am so excited this place is just down the block so I can easily go get it. read more

The young lady working the window is super rude. We're out of towners and we were told about Badamo's so we asked a question about the menu. She just rolled her eyes and didn't even respond what so ever. Waited 5 seconds then I just responded "you know what we'll leave" she walked off with no regard. Poor customer service. read more

Incredibly delicious pizzas! But don't stop there. The sandwiches are hearty and delicious as well. I ordered a salad to share with my granddaughter. It was morn than enough for both of us. It was fresh and so good! It's our new go to spot!!! Thankfully it's just around the corner:) read more

Best crust I've ever tasted, hands down! My kids had the classic pepperoni, while my wife and I had the white pizza. Simply amazing!

We loved this pizza so much, we went back the next night! We were only in town for two nights and this is where we chose to have dinner both nights. My husband loved the Sicilian style, my son loved the pepperoni, and I was a fan of the white pizza. If you are in/near Badamo's definitely check it out! read more

Overall god pizza and friendly service. Thought the first was good and just crunchy enough. It wasn't soaked through with grease. Suave has a unique flavor along with the cheese mix. Great pizza to try if you are looking for something different from your typical pizza. read more

Best pizza around; taste and quality are superior and consistent. A great group of young people working there, friendly and accommodating.

Ordered a large supreme pizza. With olives on only half. And steak hoagie. Waited the 30 mins they said it would take and went to pick it up. Waited another 40 mins at restaurant to get it. Gave me a ice cold Sicilian pizza that only had olives on one half and no other toppings that was over baked and black in a lot of places. First and last time going there. The hoagie was trash. read more

Very poor customer service - the phone rang and rang before someone picked up! when the girl did pick she put me hold and never came back on the line. I've eaten here before and the pizza isn't great, but I was starving so I called. Horrible service! read more

By far one of the best pizza shoppes in Pittsburgh! We had a delicious New York-style pizza and incredible salad (fresh and high quality ingredients). Very impressed and highly recommended! read more

Excellent Sicilian pizza! Tasty sauce & crispy crust. good ratio of sauce/cheese/crust. Molto bene!!

Really, really good pizza - and finally so close to home for me!!! The thin crust red pizza - very traditional NY style pies - huge and reasonably priced - crust is fabulous!!! Can't wait to try a white pie next!!! And the Sicilian crust too!!! The salads are huge and delicious!!! Also tried the Italian hoagie - mostly very good but I'm not a big fan of mortadella - but will definitely try other varieties!! read more

Wow! We found this place on yelp while visiting pitt and tried it out for takeout pizza. We got the Sicilian with pepperoni and meatball, with garlic knots. Fantastic!!! We have pretty high standards for pizza and this met them. Highly recommend. read more

THAT crust on the Sicilian pizza ... so much flavor in that crust with how it's cooked AND crunchy! Thank you!

I like to try all the pizza shops. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I ordered a pepperoni pizza for pick up. Hour later still never had my pizza. Very expensive too. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You feel as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool. Great job read more
