Quality/taste took a dive after new ownership. Pick up order was incorrect. Not the same Bellisario's that use to exist.

My family decided to give Bellisario's a try after many years. We ordered two pizzas: one traditional crust and one Sicilian. The service was good and the pizzas were done on time. As far as quality goes, the best that I can say is that it was adequate. The pizza wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. The Sicilian was the better of the two, it had a nice pillowy, tender crust whereas the crust on the traditional pizza was a bit tough and lacking in flavor. Where both pizzas fell was with regard to toppings. Although the sauce was good, the cheese had a cheap, industrial flavor and the additional toppings, pepperoni and meatball, were somewhat skimpy. The pepperoni, in particular, was not of the best quality. In short, Bellisario's produces a serviceable pizza. If you have a hankering for pizza, and you get it from Bellisario's, it will satisfy the craving, but it won't leave you saying, "wow, that was a good pizza." read more

I recently visited Bellisario's to check out the changes under new ownership. I ordered pizza and wings, and while the wings remained delicious, I didn't care for the new buffalo sauce. Unfortunately, the pizza crust recipe has changed, and not for the better in my opinion. The original crust made a significant difference, and I believe the new owners should consider reverting to it. Additionally, the ranch dressing changed and seemed cheaper and watered down, which was another disappointing change. Overall, I don't think these changes were necessary and certainly don't enhance the food. I wish the owners nothing but the best but please consider going back to the old crust and ranch dressing. There is a reason Bellisarios has been around for almost 4 decades - the original recipes were excellent. read more

Bellisario's was always my favorite pizza. Haven't ordered there from a while and got some tonight. It wasn't bad but definitely different. Crust is different, so is the pepperoni. What happened? read more

They changed their recipe for the crust. I like the old recipe better. I'll look for another place with better crust.

I ordered the white pizza for delivery it was amazing! Not only was it delivered very quickly but it was so good!! White pizza with tomatoes, ricotta cheese, spinach and pepperonis! Their pepperonis are so good they curl up real nice and we love it so had to try it on our custom white pizza! Event the crust was dusted in some delicious seasoning!! Sooo good! read more

Great people and service. Pizza is best in Pittsburgh. When we lived in Brookline we had their pizza at least once a week Now we live outside their delivery zone. Still have Belli's for special occasions and whenever we are in area. Or make it a point to go when hungry for good pizza. read more

The best pizza and hoagies in town and never have a problem getting the pizza in a timely manner

I used to order from chains, but I wanted to support the local small businesses so I started order from all of the pizza places that delivered to my house in Castle Shannon. There as re some really good ones but Bellisario's wins the prize in my book. That was 7 or 8 years ago and now I only order from this place. The pizza is always consistently exactly what I wanted only better. The crust is never too crunchy with thick bread, or too thin and greasy. The sauce and seasoning is perfect. The specialty pizzas like Philly Steak or Buffalo Chicken are out of this world, or even just a sausage with extra cheese is amazing. I am always pleased when the friendly delivery guy gets to the top of my steps. I'm a long time customer, and will continue to be as long as Bellisario's keeps delivering those tasty pizzas. (Oh the steak hoagies and calzones are awesome too, but I gotta get a slice of that pizza) read more

Consistently tasty pizza. Location is easy to get in and out of with plenty parking. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

First time trying this pizza, not coming back. This place is so dirty i can't explain. Feces in a toilet, not flushing. No paper towel in the bathroom, they use that nasty cloth roller that is all used up. The pizza is extremely greasy, its like they dumped a cup of oil on it. Had to use 2 napkin to soak to all up. The pizza flavor is ok, but could not finish it, the thought in my head of the bathroom could not be erased. They also brought some bullsh!+ check that is rounded up. I know they overcharged me, but didn't want to argue with yensers before the stelerz game. Just left and gave them this review. That's all. read more

Got deliveries from them a few times now! Never been to their location so can't say about cleanliness there but the pizzas have been good and we haven't gotten sick or anything like that. Favorites of ours are their mushroom pizza and the crispness of their wings too! One star deduction is from the lack of cheese on the cheese & bacon fries and the bored/rude/non-friendliness of the guy who picked up the phone... read more

My best friend, whose been living in Manhattan for over 20 years, confirmed for me that Bellisario's is THE BEST pizza there is! It's soooooooooooooooooo good! read more

Bellisario's is one of my fave pizza shops. As Darren claims, Bellisario's pizza is a shinning knight." If you are in the area and looking for a good pizza this is a good place to get your pizza. The shop still has mucho sports figurines and sports memorabilia on the walls. read more

I have only ever had their wings so my review is limited to those. However I have always been impressed by the quality and flavor of the different sauces. Their wings are cooked perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside. My favorite flavor is probably the regular hot. It is not over powering and has a great buffalo taste. read more

All the food, and service is great! My favorite is their hoagies and wings. My mum and I have been going to this place for years. I highly recommend! read more

Best pizza joint in the South Hills every time! Their Sicilian pizza is amazing and left over reheated is even better! Always a super quick delivery read more

Worst pizza I ever had! The entire bottom was completely burnt, it was also extremely greasy. Not one piece was edible! I will never order ever again. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

This was our second time eating the pizza from here. They are two doors Down from McNeilly Six Pack Shop. You can get food from here and take it to the six pack shop and eat it while you have a few beers. The pizza is in my top 5. The crust isn't too thick or too thin. They put more toppings on pizza than any other place that I know. But you have to have a good foundation to build on and hopefully not using toppings to cover a bad pizza. This pizza would be great even if it was just a plain cheese pizza. Now that I am hooked on their pizza I need to try other menu items. read more

Stopped in for lunch and wasn't disappointed. They have 3 lunch specials for $7.25 that include a soup or coleslaw. On top of that, you get a basket of bread. I got the eggplant Parmesan and it was absolutely delicious. For $7.25, it's a deal you can beat. The service is also wonderful with someone always checking in on you seeing if you need something. read more

This is how pizza should be. Great ingredients, bubbly crust, not greasy, reasonably priced. I've lived in the north hills on and off, I can't believe I just found this gem. They also have a full menu: eat in or take out. The prices are unreal! Will have to eat in soon to find out more. read more

Our fav pizza spot in Pittsburgh! 1/2 butcher block & 1/2 veggie lovers is Awesome! You get what you expect- Delicious PIZZA! Toss salad is good with the pizza and the Calzones are great too!! MMMMM I'm getting hungry remembering it. Look at the specialty pizzas on the back of the menu cause that's where it's at!!! Honestly, this place is mostly deliver and take out orders, the restaurant is not impressive and leaves much to be desired for ambiance. 10 old booths and lots of old sports memorabilia. It seriously hasn't been updated since the first time I've been here, 18 years ago. Don't expect an immaculately impressive bathroom, but you can find the only cloth roller towel I've EVER seen, straight from 1949. It's BYOB so bring some B or buy some from the store next door. (I don't really understand the previous reviewer's complaint about greasiness, I've never had this issue. But I probably would not buy a piece of cheesecake from here cause come on, it probably wasn't make fresh here and it it wasn't then what's the point of getting it??) This is always a good choice for pizza!! read more

First eat in visit after recently moving to the area. Really delicious pizza with a tasty, doughy crust (reheated well the next morning too). The waitress was super nice too. Will definitely be our go-to pizza joint! read more

This, could be the best pizza in South Hills, if they could only give it two more minutes in the oven. Slow down folks! Nobody wants blond crust. Let it cook- I dont mind waiting an extra minute. read more

If Vincent's pizza is a hellspawned ogre, Bellsario's pizza is a shining knight. I was reminded of why this is tonight. It had been too long. Although, I think DeMino's in Brookline wins this duel of pies. There is a new champion in the South Hills Pizza Federation, but Bellsario's is still a worthy, worthy contender. Bellisario's has two other hoagies on their menu that I didn't mention in my first review; the Tuna Melt and the Steak Deluxe. Each is the best specimen of either breed of hoagie I've ever munched on. The Tuna is so creamy and full-bodied and oh-so filling that one half is a meal in itself. Make sure you have a beverage to wash it down with. And it's great if it's chilled and eaten the next day. The Steak Deluxe is the Bill Gates of steak hoagies because the meat is so generous you'll be wracked with guilt after eating it, as if you just grifted someone. They also don't skimp on the mushrooms, fried onions, peppers, cheese, or dressing. It doesn't fall to pieces either. The bread for both is just dead-on, especially for the Steak which they have to dip in juices of some kind since the inner surface of the bun is wet like a Philppe's torpedo. Man, I had totally forgotten what a dandy, superior Steak zep Bellisario's makes. The Subway down the road must be eviscerated!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Wanna know why hoagies are sometimes called "heros?" Try these and you'll be up, up, and awaaayyyy and bustin' through brick walls! read more

This is a perfect example of a really disgusting Pittsburgh style pizza, you guys love this awful crap for some reason. I called in and asked how big their medium was, the idiot responded with "8 cuts" which obviously tells me nothing considering you can cut anything into 8. When I asked again he said 14 inches so I ordered a medium cheese and an order of breadsticks. I will confess that I didn't actually try the pizza because I had to send it back because it was well past the point of being edible. It was like pizza soup in a crust bowl. This place is using deck style brick ovens, which is about the only thing they are doing right. They do not cook directly on the brick though, they use pizza screens. The screens that they use are the ones with the really big holes as opposed to the grid style screens that everyone else uses. I have never seen another shop use the big hole screens, and probably for a reason because the dough was really really terrible cooked. It was burned to the point of being black on the bottom at (which I usually don't mind at all) but somehow they managed for it to still be completely doughy and soft and not the least bit crispy. Honestly it seems like some kind of miracle of science to have a black pizza bottom and for it to not at least be a little bit crispy. The pizza was definitely on the overly thick and doughy side and even if it had been cooked well it probably still would have been too doughy to be very good. The dough recipe may or may not have tasted good, no one will probably ever know because it will probably never be cooked evenly enough to even have a chance at tasting good. The biggest problem with the pizza overall was the 2 pounds of cheese sunken into a large gelatinous wad in the middle. It smelled like decent cheese, probably Grande (although probably cut with something cheaper). They are wasting so much money on cheese its sad. Whoever the pizzaman was obviously took no pride in it whatsoever. The sauce was all dropped into the middle with most of the cheese. The edges of the pizza had big bubbles where all of the cheese and sauce should have been, but they were NOT the nice crispy kind of bubbles that could be enjoyed...just lumpy masses of sadness. I can't comment on the taste of the sauce because I am not a brave enough man to have put a slice of this DIY toilet clogging kit into my delicate stomachular system. Fake words aside, this pizza really sucks guys. The icing on the cake were the breadsticks, a side item that I consider to be pretty un-f*ckable. So for breadsticks, Mr. Bellesario (BTW, I hope that this is just some made-up Italian restaurant name and that someone doesn't actually put their family name behind this crap) just cuts up slices of the premade Sicilian dough and slaps some oil and herbs on it and calls it breadsticks. Its the most ghetto attempt at this particular appetizer that I have ever heard of. Its pretty funny, really. So yeah, this place is definitely worth avoiding at all costs especially considering the prices aren't even good and the restaurant itself is completely filthy inside. The owner was nice enough about refunding the money for the pizza. Its a shame when I see businesses like this that are set in their ways and are really wasting their potential with a general lack of pride. read more

TERRIBLE! I will never order from there again. I was hungry for some pizza and found a Bellisario's menu in the back of my desk (I suppose from the girl who worked here before me) and decided to try them. Got a pizza with pepperoni and a slice of cheesecake. When the driver brought it, it looked like he sat on the pizza box. He opened the box up and said to me that the box got bent and the cheese and pepperoni was all stuck to the top of the box. He asked me if it was ok and he said it was only one piece that was ruined. When it was really 3 slices that the toppings were stuck to the top of the box. What was I gonna say, I was hungry, so I took it. The pizza was awful, greasy and just ehhhh i can't even explain it. So I had a slice of pizza and was done with that and moved on to the cheesecake, which looked like it was about a month old and tasted pretty bad as well. Only had a bite of that and threw it away. I will never order from there again! read more

Just moved to Brookline, and I decided to try Bellisarios. I arrived there for a pickup and it wasnt ready. Had to wait for a while, maybe an extra 15 minutes? And they didn't even look that busy. And then the food wasn't good at all. When I got home the pizza was too greasy. I did not enjoy it at all. Will I go back? Most probably not. read more

Their food is good ., in desperate need of remodeling and is hit or miss when open .. They are closed sometimes at 9 pm on a Friday .. Very bizarre read more

This was our first time trying this place since moving to Castle Shannon. Delivery was fast. The pizza was really REALLY greasy. My wife went to grab a piece and it was so saturated with grease everything fell off. Pizza is pizza, it wasn't terrible but wasn't notably better than any others I've had. We also got an order of 10 hot wings. They were also extremely greasy and had zero flavor of any kind of sauce. Their texture was rubbery and they had a "reheated" taste to them. They were pretty terrible. We won't be ordering from here again. read more

recently ordered a couple pizzas from them after assuming they were just mediocre suburban pizza . i was wrong . it's dalish . a unique crust texture/consistency and good pizza 'guts' . the delivery time was reasonable considering i live on the outward fringe of their delivery area. the driver was 'cool' and was able to communicate in native english (i'm really very tired of all the pizza joints owned by serbians/russians/middle-easterners who can't / hardly speak english...one has to admire their tenacity in making a life here but ....) i will be a repeat customer of bellisario's ... hurray . my new fave pizza joint in this area (outside of Fiori's) read more
