No matter where I worked downtown over the years, the offices I was in always did pizza ordering from Ephesus. It was absolutely the go-to for office gatherings. They always have specials which made for an easy choice. It was also an easy choice because everyone loved the pizza. Always fresh with a tasty sauce and never over or under cooked. Even stopping by to grab a slice, the quality was the same. Great group of folks working at Ephesus. read more

I went to Ephesus Pizza after the baseball game on Sunday, June 14th. There are two locations, and I went to the one in downtown Pittsburgh. I was looking for a good pizza place, looked everywhere online, then I came across a post on TikTok about the Ephesus Pizza downtown location. Entering, the building has no stairs, is easy to access, there are street parking spots by the restaurant, and inside was clean. The service was professional, honest, and great customer service. I ordered two cheese pizzas with light tomato sauce along with sausages on pizzas. My boyfriend had two Sicilian pizzas. Everything was made fresh and hot, the food came out pizza was very, very delicious. I'll go back when I'm back in Pittsburgh. That was probably the best pizza I've ever had. read more

Ephesus Pizza - Chicken Salad - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We came to Ephesus on a Saturday around 1pm. There is large variety on the menu. My husband ordered 2 slices. The slices were huge! The way the slices are made is they make a huge plain pie then you can add whatever you want on the slices and they heat them up. My husband added banana peppers and said the pizza was good. I ordered the gyro bowl. It was humongous and had so many different things in it that I wasn't expecting. Like the chickpeas and rice at the bottom. It was really good but I could have done with a little less sauce. Everything is extremely reasonable in price. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I appreciate their selection of veggie meats. I ordered online and it was still warm by the time it arrived. I was only able to eat half and saved the rest for the next day. Unfortunately the hotel I was staying at had a refrigerator but no microwave. So I ate it cold, and it was still tasty! read more

Ephesus Pizza - Small Vegan-4 Cuts - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pizza is outstanding and the lunch specials are a great deal. People are great too. I tried the Sicilian Pizza and it was amazing. It allnlooked good. read more

They couldn't have messed up my delivery order more if they tried! I ordered a small pizza with ham and pineapple (yes, I'm one of THOSE people), and instead, they delivered a small pizza with sausage, pepperoni and ANCHOVIES! I kid you not @%# ANCHOVIES! I also orders a small baklava and instead, received deep fried mozzarella sticks! This all started because I'm staying at a huge but old hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, that, get this, doesn't have room service! So, I had to order the food, go down 15 floors to the lobby, only to get the most screwed up takeout order I could have imagined. Oh, and the pizza, what little I ate, was greasy. Perhaps the restaurant itself is nice, I don't know, but their food and their delivery leaves a lot to be desired. read more

3.2 but its the holiday season. Hey its right next to the ice rink, thats something. Staff is nice. Pepperoni pizza very average however

Got pizza and a hoagie takeout and it was perfect. The crust is so good- did banana peppers & pepperoni and the pizza was loaded with toppings. The Italian hoagie was cooked to perfection! read more

Ephesus Pizza - Hawaii Pizza with Jalapeños - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We received our pizza delivery only to find that it was wrong. They remade it and sent another. They actually wanted to wrong one back which I found odd as I'm hoping they don't give it to someone else. We tipped well, but that didn't seem to matter. The pizza was just average. Delivery fee plus tip made it a little more than we bargained for. Don't normally order delivery. Will probably not order again. read more

The pizza is very good, and the unique offerings are definitely worth a try. The Morocan spiced chicken pizza is outstanding with some creative twists. read more

Nothing fancy about this place but it's great for what it is. The pizza slices are HUGE and for just over $2, a great deal. Fries were hot and crunchy. Taking off a star because I wish they would have cooked the green peppers a little more, I likely wouldn't get that topping again since they just throw it on raw to heat up the slice. There's some seating inside but it's no frills, and it seems like most of the biz is takeout. read more

Ephesus Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I can tell you this about this place the white guy behind the counter will add his own tip to your guys's account if you're not careful the food is good we'll never eat there again the customer service by the owner or the older gentleman behind the counter very disrespectful allowing this gentleman to take advantage of him the other lady in there was fantastic ate there earlier today no issue came back for dinner and a guy tried to sell money off my account and add his tip read more

First time there and they had amazing pizza it really hit the spot would recommend and would go back if I have time

The wait time was 30 minutes for 8 slices of pizza and fry's and the lady completely diss regarded my question when i asked if there was bathrooms and the toppings on the pizza fell off when u picked it up lastly the pizza wasn't even that good for the wait time read more

I was surprised by the greek pizza with gyro meat. I've gotten used to mediocre meat at so many places serving gyros so when I could smell the lamb before I even opened the box, it was a pleasant surprise when my door dash got to me. The pizza is pricey but they didn't skimp on the toppings. It was covered in onions, tomatoes, feta cheese and the lamb gryo meat and the crush was well done without being burnt and bitter. Really pleased with the pizza. And I also got the baklava, two big pieces that they did not skimp on either the butter (vegan) or the honey. Some of the best baklava I've had in a long time read more

Review based on delivery: I've been wanting to try out Ephesus for years! As a (mostly) vegetarian, I was happy with their veggie based selections. I ordered the spinach and feta pizza, and it was honestly probably the best pizza that I ever had. I also ordered the spicy buffalo fries which were fantastic. My friend had the gyro sandwich, the sub was really loaded and toasted to perfection. I would definitely order from here again, everything was very good! read more

I've been meaning to try Ephesus for a while since I knew they had a lot of great vegan options. I had a hard time deciding but ended up getting the vegan Buffalo chicken pizza which was really tasty and super flavorful! It's a bit greasy as you can see from my photo, but obviously you're not expecting a healthy meal if this is what you pick haha. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items as well! read more

Ephesus Pizza - Vegan Buffalo chicken gourmet pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The service was super friendly and the pizza was delicious and they had vegan options. Score! My entire family was pleased.

Came downtown to try the intriguing idea of a Kabab pizza. I love lamb. I love pizza. This just felt right. The pizza itself was solid. My major critique stems from the misleading or outdated menus provided as I was on the fence between getting 2 smalls to try multiple offerings. But the menu showed better value to get a medium. It was marked up $4 more than the advertised price. I totally get and respect the rising costs. My thing is be sure to be up front with the consumer rather than mention it after the fact. read more

Ephesus Pizza - Lamb kabab - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I haven't been much lately due to the prices mainly, but secondarily because when I have paid the increased amount, I haven't been satisfied with the product. I used to go quite often as my office is right down the street. It's still good, but just not as good as before. read more

We love this place, especially their bowls, which you can customize to your heart's content and their Pide, the traditional Turkish "pizza" that is just great. What sets them apart is that their ingrediants are so flavorful. Thay make a yogurt sauce/cacik that's just a level above the taziki you get in most places. They serve their dishes with a grilled hot pepper and tomato. Also traditional. Their Choban salad is great, the Turkish beet spread is super tasty, and they even make a cauliflower shawarma! Their Pizza dough is very good, fluffy and again, seasoned slightly with herbs around the crust. They make a kebab pizza that if you're a meat eater you owe it to yourself to try it. I've had their kababs and their lamb meatball, and it's all legit. We had been ordering pizza from another place in the downtown and it was fine, but when we tried Ephesus and have never looked back. They take ApplePay, so we just show up, put our flashers on, dash in and get it, and head home. It's our choice for pizza (and much more) downtown. read more

lamb kabob was dry and hard. chicken was better. gyro was ok. italian sub was good. bought lamb, gyro, chicken platters and an 18 inch sub 100$. not worth the money spent read more

Got the Mangal Soujouck pizza. I remember really liking this pizza but it had been several years since the last time I got one, and I found it to be really doughy and the sauce was not spread well. Not a fan anymore. Seems the quality has declined. read more

Manager woman was rude because she couldn't understand how I was delivered too prior w.o HER being able to find my address while I was trying to tell her my actual address isn't updated everywhere because its newish. There's D st then D Way.. they're one avenue apart... The other employee understood before and clearly someone understood that day when I decided to order online instead. read more

Ephesus Pizza - We love the pizza. It was delicious with full flavor. We definitely are trying more the menu. The prices are very reasonable too. - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

They make their pizza on their own bread which is an exciting idea. I also liked that they put a whole skewer of chicken on each slice. Their ambiance was ok for a normal pizza shop. Nothing fancy but workable. Lady behind the desk can improve her customer service a little though. read more

Didn't know what to expect from Turkish pizza, but it was delicious. A friend and I split a personal pizza for lunch -- and the owner, who was very friendly and nice, asked the girl in the kitchen to stretch the personal pizza sized dough ball thinner to make it easier to split, which was very thoughtful. We got the Greek pizza, which had gyro meat, provolone, feta, black olives, tomato, onion, and a very little bit of white sauce. It was delicious. The crust was coated in garlic powder. All the flavors came together perfectly. Seriously, it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. They also have plenty of more traditional American pizza options as well, but I definitely recommend experimenting here. read more

I came here while visiting Pittsburgh, and got a carry out. When I called, I asked about the free salad with the Yelp check in and they didn't know what I was talking about. I showed them when I came in and they seemed confused, saying there must be a mistake, and wouldn't honor it. It's not that big of a deal but I feel that you should honor a coupon if it's up there, and then call Yelp to sort things out. BTW, it's been a week and the offer is still on Yelp, so I'm not sure if they just have that on there as bait but I'm taking stars away for that. I ordered a small pizza with half chicken/ half lamb kabob. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't come back for it. First off, $2 for additional toppings on a SMALL pizza is ridiculous, and it was slightly soggy, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and will say that's because I didn't eat it fresh, but when I got back to my hotel (about 25min later). One thing about halal pizza places is that they cannot get their pepperoni right. I've had really good, legitimate halal pepperoni and then the stuff at places like this. It's more so sausage slices than anything else. The only reason I would recommend this place is because it's halal. Otherwise, I'd probably just get a vegetarian pizza elsewhere. read more

Ephesus Pizza - Half lamb, half chicken kabob pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Large portion and well made, not greasy, thin crust cheese pizza. Came out pretty quick.

I was very pleased with the meal here and bought more for lunch the next day. I had the Moroccan chicken pizza, soucjuk pide, and doner plate. The best was the pizza but that's perhaps because I ordered egg on my pide as well and it wasn't the best choice, but that's on me, not them. Delivery was fast, perhaps ten less than advertised. Show some love for a good spot! read more

I'd get the falafel again, but the pizza is way overpriced and not great. Crust so thin in the middle you have to pick up your slice with 2 hands so it doesn't fall apart. read more

The pizza was great. Another person got kabobs, and it looked fresh while served with homemade hummus. Not the cleanest place, but the staff was nice. read more

One of my favorite pizza places in the city. I've recently adopted a gluten free diet, and this is one of the pizza spots in the city to offer a gluten free crust. It's very good. They are generous with their cheese and toppings also. And their homemade ranch is to die for! It's included with every pizza you order. Other items we've had that we love: my husband loves the grape leaves and their buffalo chicken pizza, and we both love their buffalo fries. Also, ordering for Ephesus off of the Yelp app is so easy to do! I recommend doing that when ordering from here! :) read more

I used to be a regular customer to this place before Covid. I had called in for pick up, went there to pick up. The cashier was very rude, she took the payment and left the store without saying anything. Here I was waiting thinking my order is being prepared , but in fact it was ready and in the counter in a brown bag that was open . She came back after 15 minutes and asked me why I was here , and I said I am waiting for the food. She said if it's been here on the counter since. She should have at least handed me my food or even said Thanks etc. in addition I asked for some hot sauce and she said it's 1:07 , it was never like that before. read more
