    Craving pizza? Iron born is an excellent relative newcomer to the game in Pittsburgh. With its variety of Detroit style pizza squares, it's a great Strip District bite for lunch. My wife and I split a "White Pie", a simple garlic cream sauce pizza with tomato, arugula and ricotta toppings. The zing of the lemon arugula offset the melt in your mouth richness of the ricotta. Truly a delicious yet simple treat! They also have many specialty sodas to wash that pie down. Seating is limited, but when you're so close to all the outdoor hangout spots at the Terminal, taking it to go is not a bad option, especially on those warm sunny days of spring and summer. Terrific!

    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!

    Vegan pie

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    Heirloom Tomato Pizza Special
    Bobby C.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Let me say that Pizza Lupo is my favorite Pittsburgh Pizza. I know Fiori's won some competition,…read moreand I have had Fiori's pizza, and it cannot beat Lupo. Our favorite is the Drunk Meatball: that homemade vodka pizza sauce, and their homemade meatballs, along with the rosettes of ricotta cheese is amazing. Lupo has a wonderful char to the crust and the undercarriage is slightly crispy. The second favorite is the 10th Ward pizza: the combination of meats, peppers, and ricotta makes it amazing. The challenge we have had with Lupo there isn't a place it eat inside, and it takes 20 mins for us to get home, so we have lost some of the warmth and the crust isn't quite as crispy; enter Coven Brewing. We go to Coven and get a beer, we have placed our order with Lupo and we will walk down, get our pizza, walk back and demolish it. Coven has some great beer, especially if you like IPAs; Lupo has Pittsburgh's best pizza; I cannot think of a better pairing. The service at Pizza Lupo is great, they are kind even when their phone is ringing off the hook. Our last time I was getting busy signals because calls were coming in so fast. Somehow they maintain the ability to get a pie out the door in under an hour. When we go there, there are boxes stacked high and they have a steady stream of people entering and leaving, never do I hear a complaint.

    Expansive Pittsburgh pizza dynasty with the maximum cheese allowed for proper pizza proportions…read more I love Mineo's. Big member of their fan club. We drive out from Monroeville just to grab their pies. Located in Squirrel Hill, parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there is a pay-to-park lot across the street tucked behind the businesses. Also, with old school class, Mineo's is cash only. They do have an ATM right in the store - in case you forgot. Dynasty loading - as they now have 4 shops including one directly in the Pittsburgh Airport (check their updated box logos with an airplane flying around!) All day. All year. Always- I would think to give Mineo's five stars, but this order was disappointing. The crust was over floured and lifeless, the cheese was missing the signature flavor pack of herbs, and the toppings were very clumped together under the cheese... but even these nitpicks- this place is a must go to! We ordered three large (and yes, that's a large large) pizzas - mushroom, extra cheese, and pepperoni. They are renowned for their thick layer of cheese with the toppings buried beneath. And this time, all of the pieces were well cut - which is rare. Service was quick. They know how to move through the takeout orders and even if they don't, pull up a seat and enjoy the theater of pizza making that you can witness in the expansive dining area.

Last night my brother and I, along with a friend, made my obligatory visit. It wasn't hard to convince them to go for a pizza; they're also fans of the place. (They are both locals.) We ordered a small pizza with half pepperoni and half onions. Unfortunately, after waiting the typical 20 minutes, they got the order wrong. Instead of onions, they added mushrooms. My brother went up to the counter to report the topping error. They were so amenable to making things right, they agreed to add the onions. In addition, they offered him two complimentary Orange Crush sodas. The pizza was great as usual, and we all enjoyed the experience. For the first time, they started accepting credit cards, with a 15% fee. (I had already taken out some cash to pay for the pizza, since they previously had a cash-only policy. Now it's more convenient.) It's not a fancy place, but they have both counter and booth seating.
