    Large pepperoni pizza with half mushroom
    Santana L.

    Grew up eating pizza from here but since I moved I completely forgot about this place for a while. We only ordered a large 2 topping pizza. Pepperoni and half mushroom, we normally order well-done but forgot this time. Didn't really matter it was still good! They use fresh mushrooms incase that's a deal breaker for anyone! Also for my ranch lovers, they have pretty good ranch- coming from someone who doesn't like any store-bought ranch! We were too excited & I forgot to take a picture before eating it! Probably one of my favorite local spots! We ordered pick-up, about 35 min wait time.

    This has been my family's go to place to order place since I was little, and it still is. We ordered a pizza for pick up on Friday night. The food was hot and ready when we went to pick it up, and the pizza itself was delicious. I'm always in search of the perfect crust, and Center Avenue has hit the nail on the head. They've got the perfect balance of bready and crispy. The flavors of the white pizza are well balanced.

    Heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day!

    We ordered a heart shaped pizza yesterday for pick up, for Valentine's Day! Pizza was delicious! My husband loves the smaller pepperoni which is what they used and we also got mushrooms. We appreciated that they cut it as well! This was our first time ordering from here but will not be our last! We Will definitely be back! Also the 2 guys in the shop couldn't have been nicer!

    Did you make the sauce today? Is it old? So what is the sauce age?

    I knew a girl in Pitt so I center a slice from here and she liked it. I like it too, even though it's not amazing and is far from my fave in town (Aiello, Fiori). They have lovely service, and serve a decent slice. It's not really Pittsburgh-style Pizza, just generic pizza but still pretty good and worth a try if you're in this area. If you live in Pitt and haven't tried it yet, my question is... why avenue tried it yet?

    Fresh side salad $4.50 with Italian dressing: iceberg lettuce, tomato, green pepper, mushroom, two types of cheese
    Laura C.

    I've lived in Pittsburgh for almost ten years now one neighborhood over from West View and this is my first time ordering from Center Avenue Slice. My order consisted of a side salad @ $4.50 and a 10" hand tossed junior size pizza. The salad was a good size and and included iceberg lettuce, tomato cubes, fresh sliced mushrooms, green pepper and two types of cheese. They include additional veggies or peppers that I told them to hold including olives, banana peppers and a couple other items. It also came with a nice sized round container of my selected dressing - Italian. The salad was well worth the price and was very fresh. The pizza I ordered was the hand tossed pan crust with mushrooms, hamburger, green peppers and diced tomatoes. The taste was very nice and the toppings were plentiful. The toppings were spread well and no one topping dominated in any area of the pizza. This is just good normal pizza. I called at 8:37 p.m. on a Sunday and my husband drove and collected the order, so I have no experience with their delivery service. They close at 9:15 p.m., so I was very pleased by the fresh food provided so close to closing time. I will be ordering in good faith again from this eatery.

    I love pizza but this is the WORST pizza I've ever ate. Two bites and threw the whole box away. Avoid this place!

It comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust. All cheese is blended together and piped in rosettes on top of the pizza. Tastes so good and looks amazing. Walk in the front door and give your name for pickup. To the right are a couple upright cold cases filled with drinks, salad, etc. Located a short 15 minute drive from Shadyside. Can't wait to return and try more pizza.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

It's on a dilapidated brick road that you essentially have to drive up at a crawl speed to prevent your car from rattling a part, and there's rarely parking. HOWEVER, somehow, this adds to the charm. The journey makes the reward that much better, I suppose. When you enter the pizzeria, it feels like how a pizzeria should. It's small and noisy, and the smells are overpowering. The staff is too busy for small talk. They're making dough (see what I did there?). I love it. The sauce is sweet, which isn't how I typically want a pizza sauce to taste, but it's also what makes their pizza so unique. You won't find another pizza that tastes like this. A plain cheese pizza from here is worth its weight in gold. I cannot recommend them enough.

We were told there would be a wait, but our pizza was ready right when they said it would be. The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was a little tricky because of the location, but it was definitely worth it! The standout feature of this pizza for me was the flavor of the cheese (especially when paired with onions) that combination was easily my favorite part. They use a very generous, thick layer of cheese, which creates a rich and indulgent pizza. The cheese is quite oily and can slide off the crust, so personally the amount of cheese and oil was a little heavier than my usual preference. However, the chewy crust holds up well to the toppings, and there was still something really addictive about the overall flavor and texture of that cheese. One thing that surprised me was how good it was the next day when eaten cold. I actually prefer this pizza cold. The cheese and onions complemented each other even more, and the pizza felt a little less oily while allowing the flavors to shine even more. Overall, this is definitely a top-tier pizza place in the area. If you enjoy a flavorful, cheesy pizza with a great chewy crust, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try!

It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.
