    Get service and really good pizza... it was our last stop on our way home. We were pretty full but it did not disappoint!

    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!

    Buffalo Chicken Pie
    Mansi A.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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
    Jonathan A.

    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!

    Julia H.

    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

    Yinzer Pie **GF**
    Will W.

    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.

    Kiara D.

    5 stars. The Nashville chicken pizza was amazing, crispy, spicy, and full of flavor. The ranch is some of the best I've had, super creamy and perfect with the pizza. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the Strip. You WILL have left overs!!

    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.

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.

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 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.

There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

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.
