This is probably the best deal on mount Washington. You can hit up Cestones at any time during the day and grab a slice of pizza(it's actually two slices) for only $3. It's fast and convenient and the ladies who work the window are always super nice. read more

The finance swears he found the best pizza place in Pittsburgh. A small hole-in-the-wall that makes pizzas to order, we got ours for take out and it was piping hot when we picked it up. Greasy, awesome topping ratio, crispy crust that folds over so you can eat it like a NY pizza! We enjoyed the pie and if we were local, I'm sure we would've been back! Great friendly neighborhood pizza joint that serves their pies fresh! read more

Definitely the best pizza I've tried in the area (Mount Washington). Fresh crust - made to order. They also have ability to order by the slice. Carry out only from the window. I do wish they delivered. Very reasonable cost wise - got a medium 2 topping for 12 bucks and we devoured it. Will definitely be back!! read more

Well since this place is warming up Tony's Pizza's and reselling them after they've gone through a small convection oven I'd recommend going elsewhere. This spot has great pizza if you can't get pizza anywhere else within 5 miles and really are just looking to buy beer instead. Thanks for the $9 Tony's Pizza that you can get across the street at Shop N Save and warm up at home for $2.99 Do not recommend & encourage y'all to spend your money elsewhere. read more

Cestone's. I've lived on Mount Washington for years and haven't stopped - until today. Shame on me. Great little place. Great friendly service. Great ingredients. We ordered a slice (2 pieces) of pepperoni and a slice (2 pieces) of cheese pizza and a half Italian hoagie. For the pizza - nice crispy crust with no flop, cheese was fresh tasting without being greasy or plastic-y, the sauce had some spice flavor. Overall it was a classic slice of za and at $2.50, I'd surely get again. For the hoagie - nice toasted Mancini bread, a few slices of meats, fresh lettuce, fresh chunky onions, and crunchy banana peppers with an Italian dressing that wasn't overpowering. Again - classic flavor and plenty of hoagie for $5, I'd get again or try another variation. Service was friendly and speedy which made this a great little spot to stop for lunch. Next I'll try the hot sausage sandwich and a salad (the meal of choice for the table beside me). read more

Great pizza and very reasonably priced, I was shocked by how large the pizza was for the price. The online menu wasn't 100% accurate but other than that it was good. read more

Great crust and generous amount of toppings. Super reasonable pricing, and they have some outdoor seating, which is great. Go-to pizza place in Mount Washington. read more

Fun location with indoor and outdoor patio seating in Mt. Washington. Reasonable prices - $10 for a large pizza plus $2 per topping. They have cold beer and pop including Cherikee Red!!!! The pizza is delicious - can't believe we haven't tried it before! It has a hard light but airy crispy crust. Delicious sauce, not too sweet. Pet friendly outside which is very appreciated. Will look forward to next visit! read more

The sky was a spurned lover, sobbing angrily, dejectedly as Kay and I tried to find dinner on our way home one evening last week. The renovation of the Liberty Tunnels forced us to make a detour through Mount Washington. Combing through my memory banks, I was able to recall the name of one of the hilltop neighborhood's mainstay pizzerias: Cestone's. From there, our trusty GPS led us towards shelter and nourishment. Framed posters of Broadway shows populated the scenery along with cherry-red seats that looked to have been pilfered from a demolished stadium or arena. Amicable, nosy, world-weary regulars loafed about the dining room, dying for someone to conversate with about anything or nothing at all, watching our every movement. So inquisitive were they that I was reluctant to snap photos. The images I did manage to capture were done on the sly. I started off with a half-hoagie that I would have enjoyed more had there been more meat to chew on. The stinginess of that subpar sub was forgotten once our Kay Kombo pizza slid onto our table on a dented grey disc. What I found most striking about this pie was the crust which while crunchy on the very bottom was rather plush in the center. Chewy bits of savory bacon dotted a landscape rendered manna-like by a smooth mozzarella and sweet by a vibrant sauce. While watching the droplets batter the pavement outside from the heavens and listening to the patrons remark on "that there storm," Kay and I quietly dined, thankful that the weather diverted the attention of the "nebby" patrons away from us, the people they didn't know. Cestone's (pronounced 'sess-tone's') surprisingly excels at soft serve ice cream, something I thought DiFiore's had a lock on in this part of town. Whether they use a pre-fabricated mix or their own concoction (is whipped topping folded into it?), I haven't any proof, but never before have I had a soft-serve ice cream that came off as so much luscious mousse. Beyond a mere custard, the dairy product fell, slithered into a paper cup, coiling like a vanilla/chocolate serpent. The whipped aerosol foam and microwaved hot fudge were not only immaterial, they were almost in the way. Just as we paid our check, the downpour halted, and the local folk went back to their lives, watching us leave, nudging each other, pointing to us curiously while we jogged to the Kaymobile, likely asking each other if they recognized us from somewhere. "I wonder if that's Elsie's nephew or Donny's boy? You know, the big, bald kid? The cop!" "Oh, I dunno. The girl kinda looked familiar, though." Cestone's is one of those Pittsburgh eateries that exists out of time and remains unfazed by trends, renewal, or upheaval. May it stand proudly without giving a crumb over what anyone else thinks of it. P.S. If it reads like I was slagging the neighborhood people for whom Cestone's is obviously a hangout, I wasn't really. They were actually amusing, harmless, and surely well-meaning. We were both just feeling beaten up from work and weren't much in the mood for chit-chat that evening. read more

Nice place to grab a take out pizza. They have brew too! This is a good NY style pizza that doesn't get to complicated with trying to make the process art like. They take good ingredient and make good pizza. Definitely a under utilized pizza joint due to their location. If they had been on Shiloh or Grandview they would be packed. Give this place a shot and you wont be disappointed. The two times I have been here the size has been a little on the smaller side but maybe I went on some bad nights. I seen other reviews that said their portions are really big. read more

I've been coming here for almost two years now, the pizza is decent I love their sauce! They have big "slices" so watch out! A slice from this place is 2 normal sized slices together so it's great for a lunch break or something really quick if you're in the go. They have beer here I mean what's not to love about that?! The bottles are all 2.50 except the 40s. You can buy a six pack or single bottles. In the spring/summer they have outdoor seating, benches and tables under umbrellas and the staff is super friendly! read more

There's a reason it's only $10 for a large pie & I'm not a picky eater by any means. It was edible but I can honestly say I'll probably never come here again. Would gladly drive the extra 10 minutes for any other pizza even though I live a 4 minute walk away read more

This is the place to go for pizza up on Mt. Washington! They only do pick up or dine in but it's worth every penny. The food is good you always get a great portion. I have tried other places and the consistency is hit or miss at other pizza places but not here! You have to try if you just visiting Mt. Washington or you live up on the Mountain. read more

Cestone's is awesome. Great food and super affordable especially compared to other places in the city. I generally get one of the hoagies and it is plenty for two servings. And you can even grab a beer while you wait! read more

Check the hours before you plan to order. Other than that, Cestone's is a great option for take out on the mount.

Got the $10 large plain special. Good pizza for the price, hit the spot for a late night pizza run.

I get a traditional pineapple and onion pizza every time and my god is it delicious! They used clumps of pineapple instead of slices or little chunks and something about it makes all the difference in the world. I will say that the employees are not the friendliest but if they keep making great pizza, I don't care how standoffish they are to me! read more

Another average neighborhood pizzeria. Nothing fantastic. The Super Bowl party I went to had ordered from Cestone's. Although my special vegan super bowl chili was the hit of the party, well only until the Patriots lost, but that's another story. Where Cestone's shines is their Ice Cream window, open during the summer months. They also have a hot dog cart and sidewalk seating. Great ice cream! read more
