    Detroit style pizza, who can turn that down? This place has a lot going for it, friendly and knowledgeable staff, good location and cool interior. I came for the pizza BUT will return for those MEATBALLS! Inexpensive and possibly the best I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot! They're moist, flavorful, in rich marinara and nicely topped with fresh pesto. Delicious-and I'm not a fan of pesto. Do yourself a favor and order those meatballs to go-you'll be craving them the following day for sure. As for the pizza, I wished I loved it but it kinda lacked flavor and the sauce was way too tangy for my little ole taste buds. So if in the area, definitely stop in but whatever you do, order those meatballs!

    Gluten Free Pizza w/Ham

    Okay guys Buckle up, this headline should be "earth - shattering Gluten Free Pizza" seriously. If this place is known for one thing, they have MASTERED the gluten free thick crust. I was diagnosed w/celiac at 20 and I MISS GOOD PIZZA! Until I had this last Monday and when I tell you I actually cried. They have earned their spot in our new frequent flyer rotation. 1,0000/10 recommend.

    Iron Born came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Pizza was a much better Jets, sides and bottom were crispy and the specialty pies were very imaginative. It was very busy around 6pm but I bellied up to the bar right away. I highly recommend!

    Buffalo Chicken Pie

    I really liked this pizza! The Buffalo sauce was great, paired with some ranch dressing drizzled on top. I usually love ricotta cheese but for some reason it felt slightly dry on this pizza. I ordered delivery so that could've been the reason. Also, I think eating the pizza with marinara sauce adds a lot, but requesting marinara was extra, so that wasn't too great. Taste wise though, I would definitely recommend!

    Best Detroit-style pizza in Pittsburgh--hands down! The crust is perfectly crisp on the edges, fluffy inside, and loaded with flavor. What makes this spot even better is their always-rotating vegan pie, there's always something new and creative to try. The restaurant has a great setup with both dine-in and bar seating, plus a solid lineup of apps. Always consistent and always delicious ! Lucky to have them here in the 'Burgh!

    WOW!!! Some of the best pizza I have had in the city. So many people recommended this place and said it was a must try spot in Pittsburgh and it most definitely is. We got some quick seats at the bar and it was great. We built our own pizza and tried the buffalo chicken pizza. Will definitely find my way back here ASAP

    We came here during the day, and there was already a line outside the pizza joint. I was initially peeved, but then remembered this is one of the most popular pizza spots in Pittsburgh. Even tourists have heard of Iron Born Pizza and want to check it out. Once we were seated in a booth, it felt a bit hot inside, so we had to take off a layer. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, and it was very delicious. Honestly, there's not much to complain about. The food and service were both good. It's just very busy. Highly recommend.

    TikTok sent us here and we weren't disappointed! The pizza was absolutely delicious - as was their house Lambrusco! We had the Nashville chicken and the Yinzer. The pizza was thick, but not too thick, the perfect amount of golden crunchy crust - 10/10!! My ONLY complaint - we were here in August on a 93 degree day and we were first sat in the front booth with zero air movement. We ended up moving to a booth further back and it was better. But, be prepared for it to be warm on a summer day. Also we arrived before 7pm, so we didn't have to wait for a table but upon exiting, there was a small line outside waiting to be sat (as seating is pretty limited). Overall, 8.5/10! We will DEF be back!

    I ordered this through a 3rd party delivery service so I'm sure it's better when it's fresh. Don't get me wrong it was still delicious! We got the vodka pizza, white pizza, and GF cheese. I really like their Detroit style pizza & the crust is good. Would def try again!

    If you are in the market for Detroit Style Pizza, this is surely the place! We did get it delivered, so I can't comment on the interior or service, but the pizza and caramelized onion dip were both to die for good! We added prosciutto to this pizza. I know it's not available all the time, but this was surely a hit. Would definitely try other pizzas and even dine in next time. Everything was very fresh.

    Meatball Pie

    Love Iron Born pizza. I remember when they were in Federal Galley. Great to see them at their own location and it was packed. We got a table after about 15 minutes and ordered a couple pizzas to share. I really enjoyed the meatball pizza. The meatball was homemade and went really well with the cheesey pizza. Loved every bite!

    Amazing! Who else has a gluten free Detroit style pizza? Best ever. The crust was thick, fluffy, the edges were crispy, the sauce like fresh tomatoes, pepperonis crispy on the edges. Servers were welcoming and casual, attentive and comfortable.

    Do they take reservations? Would they be able to seat 7?

    They do not take reservations. If you have some luck you can fit 7 at the bar all together. They only have a few booths and it would be tight to fit 7 at one table.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    There is not any outdoor seating available.

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.

The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous.

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.

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.

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!
