    Aperol spritz, perfectly made and I absolutely had another.
    Angie C.

    I've been here several times in the past but usually default to the shadyside location as it's significantly closer to me. On this occasion, though, I came as part of my journey on the Pittsburgh Pizza Passport, which is valid only at this location. They don't do slices here so I got the treat of a whole four-slice pie! I had the choice of the Margherita or Bianca and decided to go with the white pizza as a change from what I'm getting as many of the other pizzerias. It's really a perfect white pie. They cook these in their woodfired oven, the crust is super thin and baked very quickly at high heat, and it is simply just what a Neapolitan pizza should be. It's topped with tomatoes and basil as I feel a white pizza should be, it was sufficiently garlicky, but my favorite white pizza place really loads theirs up with a little more and I wouldn't have minded more here. Also of note is that I'm told they make excellent gluten-free pizza here by at least two friends who are GF. You can't come to Mercurio's without talking about the gelato. There are so many flavors it's impossible to choose. You go up to the gelato counter yourself and make your choice, and tell them which table you are at so it gets added to your bill. I went with simple stracciatella which is perfection. The service here was also excellent. It was lunchtime so not yet too crowded, I was given my choice of wherever I wanted to sit and the server immediately came over to make sure the table was wiped down and supplied me with a full bottle of water to pour, and checked in on me frequently to make sure I didn't need anything. Attentive but not obtrusive. The gelato counter was staffed with another employee and the pizza chef was working the oven. I like how you can watch the pizza being made out in the open here, it makes for a cool ambience and the oven and the process deserve it.

    Margarita pizza

    Came with pizza passport for a slice. First time here. Ordered a margarita slice which ended up being a 4 cut. Takeout server was great! While waiting for it to be made fresh, they had a wide variety of gelato for good value by the ounce. Really enjoyed the tiramisu one! The pizza was solid...had a firey char note on the crust but surprisingly no actual black char marks which was impressive. Sauce solid. Basil was great (wish it had a bit more and maybe diced so it was on more of the bites. I'll definitely be back!

    Mercurio's is a great place to take the family for pizza. It also gas incredible gelato, which is one of my favorite treats. You are welcome to sample their many flavors and eat in or take it either you. They also sell it pre-packed so that you can enjoy it at home.

    One of my favorite meals in a while! We stopped in on a Sunday at 3pm for a late lunch. I love that the pizza oven is near the dining room so you can watch your pizza being made. My husband and I split a caprese salad, it was one of the best I've ever had. The cheese and tomatoes were very fresh and the balsamic was delicious. We also split the Margarita pizza. The dough was incredible - light, fluffy and crispy. i really enjoyed the sauce too. I had the Reindeer Tracks gelato and it was everything I always want in one dessert! There was only one server but she was incredible. Like seriously, she was running around and never missed a beat. Definitely will be adding this spot to our rotation!

    This Mercurio's restaurant is owned by the Mercurio family and is their second location (their first location is in the Shadyside neighborhood). This restaurant is casual but serves high-quality Italian foods. The menu lists appetizers (e.g., arancina and bruschetta), paninis, pizzas, pastas, gelatos, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Please see my attached photos for the pages of the menu. My husband and I ate lunch here on a Saturday. As soon as we entered the restaurant, an employee kindly asked us if we wanted to get takeout or to dine in the restaurant or patio. She seated us at a spacious, clean, and comfortable table. Soon our friendly waitress arrived. I told her that this visit was our first, and she explained the menu to us. After she took our order, she brought out our beverages and foods in a timely manner. Here are my reviews for what we ordered: Melanzana panini - 4 stars - The two slices of bread were nicely crispy. Inside were fresh eggplant, portobello mushrooms, red peppers, tomato sauce, and ricotta cheese. Funghi pizza with prosciutto - 5 stars - This pizza was a HIGH quality! It is definitely superior to most other restaurants' pizzas. The crust was baked well, and the toppings of mushrooms, prosciutto (my husband's add-on), tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese tasted delicious. Peachy keen hard milkshake - 4 stars - This milkshake had a strong flavor of vodka and not much flavor of peach gelato, but it still tasted good. Before I departed the restaurant, I snuck a quick peek at the gelatos. I saw nearly a couple dozen flavors that looked yummy. I saw on this restaurant's website that they sell 2-hour classes for groups of people to learn how to make Neapolitan pizza. Attendees learn how to mix, roll, stretch, top, and bake pizzas, and they also receive foods and beverages.

    We visited here before going to see a Carpenters tribute group at The Oaks theatre. The pizzas were very good, thin crust. Their gelato is fantastic.

    Heather was amazing for many reasons! Our family name is the same as eatery! Gabby was our outstanding server who took care of about 8 ladies! Excellent drink menu. Mojito was great! Pizza yummy. Atmosphere fun and trendy. Can't wait to go back!

    Maybe one of the best GF pizza crusts I've ever had! I was in town for a meeting and randomly stopped by here. I was shocked at how good it was! I was with another GF person and he agreed it was one of the best.

    We were finally able to stop in here after having this pizza place on our list for quite some time. Luckily it wasn't too busy and allowed for us to snap some good pictures of that cool pizza oven. Start off with a boozy shake, and wow they definitely don't skimp on the booziness part of it. We also ordered the Arincina and the burrata and prosciutto. The Arancina was decent, but only because the burrata and prosciutto stole the show of the appetizers. The burrata was very creamy and the prosciutto was also very tasty with the accompaniments they provided. The pizza here is extremely good, it gave me flashbacks to some of the NY pies I had when I lived there. Its a thin style crust with excellent choices and quality in toppings. We ordered a pizza del re and a porchetta. The pizza Del Re was exquisite, combining truffle oil with more savoriness of the prosciutto and mozarella is my favorite combination ever. Typically I like to try different items on the menu when i return to restaraunts, but in this case I will just end up ordering the same thing over and over again here.

    Margherita con bufala
    Samantha L.

    I had dinner at Mercurio's in November and everything was so good. On a Sunday night, it was casual and pretty empty around 5:30, but the restaurant filled up by the time we left. We ordered the bruschetta and frittelle marinara parm as appetizers and both were delicious - huge portion of the frittelle! The margherita con bufala was amazing. Their pizza is very thin and so fresh and flavorful. I'm not typically a fan of ice cream/gelato but also tried the salted caramel gelato which definitely loves up to the hype! I got the smallest size which was the perfect amount but it was so good I could have eaten two of them! Couldn't recommend Mercurio's more!

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon, and there were a lot of tables available. The ambiance felt…read morelike a genuine Italian restaurant. I was told that the pasta is homemade! I had basil pesto cream with radiatori, and it was the best pesto pasta I've ever had. The waiter also served us bread with olive oil, which was so good that we had seconds. We came here with a toddler and a baby, and I wish the toddler could have been given a plastic cup and plate instead of glass ones. If they could add more Italian desserts in addition to gelato, such as tiramisu, I would be very happy and would order it every time! I was actually looking for a dessert menu, but there wasn't one except for gelato. We'll definitely come back here again!

    This restaurant is a cozy little visit in the strip District. It's authentic homemade Italian food…read moreand it's very very yummy. I recommend coming here for lunch or for dinner. You can't go wrong with either. You also have the option to sit in the dining room room or the bar room where the gelato is held. I've had their pepperoni pizza before and their pizza is very good it's very fluffy and it's square. During my visit here I came for lunch and I got their wedding soup and their chicken dish. So good The waitresses are always very polite and the employees are very kind
