Red top pizza
Ulyana K.

I really enjoy Detroit style pizza, and there simply aren't that many options in Pittsburgh outside of Iron Born. So when I came across this place in the Federal Galley, I knew I had to give it a try. I tried their classic red top pizza. It was quite good! The edges were crispy, as they should be, and the inside was soft and fluffy. The sauce was pretty good too, but nothing too special. A bit of sweetness. Cheese was also kind of forgettable but good. They do add quite a lot of cheese onto the pizza to make it a solid square pie. All in all, a very solid spot for Detroit pie in Pittsburgh. The prices are a tad high for pizza, but that's like to it being a unique style. It doesn't beat Iron Born, but it is good in its own respect.

Buffalo pizza
Pete J.

4.5 stars for me. Cons: parking, I found a street spot nearby and walked over. Pros: awesome pizza, filling pizza, unique pizza. All are Detroit style pies. I saw this pop up on Yelp and immediately wanted to try it. I went for the Vodka pizza and my buddy ordered the Buffalo pizza. The vodka was just as awesome as it looked. My buddy really liked his Buffalo pie as well. I paid about $19 for a six slice pizza, but it was so thick, hearty and well done. We both took leftovers home. I was able to have two meals out of one pie. Next time I'm doing the PBR. May have to try some apps. It's part of the Federal Galley so there are other choices nearby if your companions want something else. Also there is a full bar there too. I will definitely go back.

Red Top Pizza

I've been obsessed with Detroit style pizza ever since I tried it a few years back. Some are better than others and Driven absolutely delivers! I tried the popular "red top" pizza on a recent Friday night and it was perfection. The dough is fluffy and light and perfectly crispy on the edges. The cheese and basil with marinara on top hits just right. This is going to be one of my new favorite pizzas in PGH.

Tried to go to the National Aviary this past weekend only to realize they were completely out of tickets for the day! Oh well, no big deal when you've got Federal Galley and a variety of test kitchen purveyors a stones throw away! Driven was the only place my wife and I hadn't tried yet so we placed an order online and drove through the MWS admiring historic homes while we waited. Food was ready about 15 minutes later and looked wonderful! The crispy cheesy edges tasted great, the toppings were plentiful, and the ricotta and pizza sauce kept everything moist and tied together well. For $15 bucks it's not the cheapest pizza or slice around, but it's good Detroit-style and worth every penny to me!

Gluten free buffalo chicken pizza
Molly R.

It's so rare to find a GF pizza that has any rise to it! I finally got my hands on one of Driven's GF pizza, and I was beyond impressed. I can't wait to try more of their pizzas. I wish it had buffalo chicken instead of buffalo chicken dip on it but either way it was delicious!!! I've been trying to get my hands on their gluten free crust for months, and finally showed up on a night they had it! I would recommend messaging them to make sure they have it if it's what you are looking for.

Very quick service. We ordered the fried ravioli, could've used a little more seasoning. But one pizza is enough for 2 people. The sauce was very rich, relatively affordable as well. The spot is tucked away in a food hall, a very clean and vibrant space, however parking is a headache. A good experience overall.

Sometimes you just have to Uber eats a red top

Best Detroit style pizza in the Burgh. Really thankful they are now on Uber Eats. I hope they stick around for years to come!

I have been so excited to get to Federal Galley and try Driven's Detroit style pizza. It was hard to decide what type was going to make the cut for the maiden voyage, but I went with the vodka pie. This isn't something that you see on many pizza menus, so I figured it was a great option. The pizza did not disappoint. The crust was airy and covered with crispy, melted cheese. The addition of the ricotta on top of the pie is an added bonus and is smothered with a delicious vodka sauce. The pizza is well balanced and even tasted just as good for a late night snack. I only wish that you could do 1/2 a pie with one type and 1/2 with a other to try more options. But I guess I will just have to go back for more!

Red top
Brad H.

Loves the pizza here! Detroit style pizza can be so good when done right and this place definitely does. I ordered the red too. Pretty much the basic pizza, mozz, parm, and basil, marinara on top. The dough had a great fluffy texture to it and tasted delicious. Perfect amount of cheese and the sauce on top was so flavorful and fresh.

Garbage

I would give 0 stars if I could. I ordered a buffalo chicken ranch pizza which in the description says " buffalo chicken dip, ranch fries, cheddar, mozzarella". Perfect just what I wanted. So I get the pizza delivered and I'm a little confused because where are the fries? I'm thinking oh it's under the cheese. So I take a bite... nothing. I take another bite.. nothing. I pull apart the cheese and I see something that might be either a fry or a piece of chicken. It's less than an inch long. I rip it apart and see it's a fry. I look on the other squares and some have non and some have that half inch "fry". I'm confused because the description says "ranch fries". Also I'm not even mentioning the fact that some pieces have barely any buffalo chicken. I take it up to the window and right before I get there an employee stops me and says oh yep those are the ranch fries! And I said "oh there's like not even one on each piece" and she says "yep we only put maybe one on each!" And I said "it's like an inch long" "yep that's what we do!" So I paid $20+ tax for bread??????? Not helpful whatsoever. A complete rip off. If you ever think about getting pizza here don't! Oh you want pepperoni pizza? Enjoy one round circle on a 6 slice pizza. Buffalo chicken ranch with fries is just bread with sprinkles of buffalo. So insane that they don't even help. Do you not make enough money to put one whole fry on a 6 slice pizza that literally advertises fries?? Guess not so maybe go out of business instead of scamming people. I wouldn't be mad if I paid $6 for this bc what else was I expecting. For $20+ I should have at least one full fry on each slice. I'm not even asking for two fries on a slice. Literally one. Maybe next time I'll bring my own potato for you to use since clearly you're short on funds.

Pictured is the red top with extra sauce
Nicole S.

Photo speaks for itself but willing to give this place another shot. I ordered the red top with extra sauce for pick up and this is what I received. I know it's a new spot so they're probably working out the kinks, some quality control should be in order. Overall, the side sauce was good and flavorful. Again, I know this photo won't speak for everyone's experience and they're new so I wanted to be nice and give them a 4/5 but as you can see based off the photo that's an extremely generous rating. I'm looking forward to trying again in a few months.

If you're looking for a unique twist on an favorite check out Driven, located at the Federal Galley (North Side) of Pittsburgh, PA. Every Deep dish style pizza has been customized by Chef Jake to these very unique styles of pizza. The Vodka Pie was my choice. Brunch is also available if you choose!

Hot honey chicken pizza
Amber G.

I've had a few of their pizzas but today I got the hot honey chicken pizza and all I can say is WOW. It was so good! The sweet and spicy flavor combo with the crunchy cheese edges made it perfect. I hope this becomes a permanent menu item because I definitely want to order it again.

Even though it was late we were greeted with exceptional customer service and were seated at a table. Our waiter, Remi with an I and not a Y was absolutely fabulous. He made great suggestions and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the 16 inch pepperoni with bacon. My daughter ordered the pepperoni roll and my wife ordered the meatballs and 2 Bianca slices. My wife's name is also Bianca so a double bonus. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and everything was piping hot. To my surprise the pepperoni came with the real bacon strips on top and not your average bacon bits. The sourdough is top notch as well. I ate 6 of the 8 slices while my daughter ate two along with her pepperoni roll. My daughter enjoyed her roll but did wish it had more cheese. My wife enjoyed her meatballs. They give you 4 and are a decent size. She was only able to eat 3. The Bianca slice is a healthy thick slice. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Driftwood. The service was OUTSTANDING (Remi). The food was good. We ended up staying 20 minutes past closing and didn't notice any change in customer service. This place is definitely worth a shot.

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 comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust.

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.

Honest review! 10/10…read more Let's start with the fact that I could smell this place down the street before I even got out of my car! My mouth was salivating before I even got inside! As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

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.

This shop will cook your pizza half cooked, as a lot of people like. We like ours well done cooked even longer than maybe the traditional cook time so we always request that. When my son went to pick up our pizza it was already sitting on the counter it had not been 15 since minutes since the order was placed. When he grabbed the box it was kinda wet on the bottom of box so we don't know if they set it on the counter on top of something ,but it was more than just extra sauce and onions that made the soggy like they assumed. We tried to recook it and when we took the pizza out of the box all the cardboard inside of the box was wet like something had been literally poured inside the box. I could barely get it out because it was so soggy it was falling apart. We live less than 5 minutes driving time so it was not from steam and cooking it more once we got home did not help it was that wet.. I have never seen pizza that soggy. I had my son call and they did not offer anything except advice on not to order onions or extra sauce when its humid out. We would have like a re-cooked pizza and to return the one we had especially since we had company. It was too wet to pick up a slice and inedible. So, if the owners see this maybe they'd like to somehow rectify it because now I have to start my grill to feed my company. Furthermore, if a customer orders extra sauce and onions on a pizza that.we are asking to be cooked well done an your only job is to cook pizza, you should advise the customer that it won't be crisp. We've ordered it that way before.. and as I said this was far beyond just soggy it was literally wet..and the 2 that ventured to eat it ,now have a stomach ache. It was most certainly undercooked and so wet it couldn't even be rebaked.
