This family-friendly restaurant is located on a busy road but offers a large parking lot. When you walk in you are greeted by sweet staff and many amazing aromas. At first, we were not sure on what to order, but our waitress was able to give us many suggestions which helped a lot! The appetizers were extremely flavorful and each pizza was cooked perfectly. We did not plan to order dessert here, but the gelato cupcakes caught our eye so we took some home. There were also many gelato flavors to choose from if that is more your speed! They sell locally brewed beer along with many other drinks. All in all, this restaurant is a delightful place to eat a tasty lunch or dinner! read more

Most of the items I have tried thus far have been delicious. Personally, I would recommend sticking with the margherita if you are looking to order pizza. The eggplant pie is tasty as well as unique, but not my favorite. Bianca is good for a pie without sauce, but it lacks the acidity of the tomato sauce and the tomatoes on top of the pie do not make up the acidity deficit. Could have been more basil as well, but overall it was tasty. The surprising star of the menu is the panini. It came with a small side salad and was delicious! The eggplant and ricotta cheese of the melanzana were deliciously blended and perfectly balanced. The eggplant was not tough nor overly soft, it was perfect. I have only tried one gelato flavor thus far: molten lava cake. It was tasty but overly sweet in my opinion. Next time, I will look to try a fruitier flavor like mango. read more

I stopped over here to pick up a pizza making kit for a YELP event. My package came with dough for two pizzas as well as the sauce and all the necessary toppings. Mercurio's is scheduled to reopen June 5th for in house dining at 50% capacity. Takeout is available now. When I picked up my kit I got to see a little of the inside and also saw an employee scooping out gelato into a container for sale. My understanding is that they make their own gelato. My kit came with instructions and a link to a YouTube video where I could actually watch how the crust was made. There is a trick to doing this. The day after the event I was on my own to see how well I remembered. Once again I preheated my oven to 550 and started flattening my dough and rotating it until I got a decent size crust. This one looked better than the one I had made at the event! After following the instructions my pizza was done. After cutting into it Ioved the gooey taste and the fresh cheese as all my toppings kept falling off. You can tell it's good when those toppings fall off. I really enjoyed making the pizza but for the $25.00 I spent on the kit I think I'm better off leaving it to the pros. Am looking forward to also trying out one of their gelatos. Located on Freeport Road in Fox Chapel they have their own parking lot. read more

First, thank you Mecurio's owners for the Yelp Elite online event. I enjoyed living vicariously through the other attendees. Tonight, with social distancing, I called to make reservations. Party of 6 and 5 are picky eaters and 3 are kids. I told them pizza, gelato, and homemade mozzarella - sold. I recommend reviewing the menu and printing it out before your arrival. To decrease the risk of cross contamination, the waitress recommended using our phones to review the menu online. It was a little hard with bifocals but do-able. A paper menu was available on request. My salad with microgreens, mozzarella, tomatoes and balsamic was delightful and refreshing. It wasn't hearty enough for a dinner entree but a great appetizer. I could have made a meal on the homemade bread. So we ordered: 4 pizzas and a pasta. We all left with leftovers. Then ... we went over to the gelato counter. The kids initially were unhappy with small cups until they tasted the rich creamy gelato. We had peanut butter, death by chocolate, 2 vanilla, strawberry, and a key lime. And yes, we passed them around the table so everyone could get a taste the flavors. The adults liked the strawberry the best and the kids the peanut butter. I also took a large container of strawberry & key lime home. The restaurant is located (if coming from UPMC St Margaret) on the left right before the split going to Blawnox. If coming from Blawnox, it is immediately after the 28S entrance on the right. Lots of parking. Definitely will be back. read more

I ordered a pizza making kit from them and I was able to make 2 pizzas at home. The kit offered pizza dough, mozzerella cheese, sauce, basil, and parmasean cheese. They offered a pizza-making class to show us how to press the dough to get it nice a bubbly and cook it properly. It was really fun putting the pizza together and took a lot of work to press the dough out right. Overall, my house smelled like a pizzeria and the pie turned out fairly well. Great work thinking outside of the box! read more

This is our favorite restaurant - so much so that we had our wedding rehearsal dinner here! They did a fabulous job with it and people still rave about it today. So well organized, service and food were 10/10! I love the Margherita pizza! It's perfectly cooked everytime - melty and crust has the perfect crunch. The aperol spritz is amazing - they make it perfectly here! And of course, the gelato is always amazing. They have a ton of options but I love the tiramisu flavor. This is the perfect date night spot - you will be so impressed! read more

Three star average?! Are you kidding me?! Amazing pizza with hand made yeast dough. Fresh salads. Great gelato. Sure the main menu is limited to pizza and panini. But they do it very well. Do you leave here stuffed to the gills on dough? No. Maybe that's why folks give this low ratings. But if you want flavorful ingredients on wonderful, fresh dough, this is the best pizza I have had in years and absolutely the best I have had in Pittsburgh. Abundant parking in dedicated lot at the Blawnox/Fox Chapel location. Clean, bright and fresh decor. We were a bit over-chilled by the A/C. Not a white table cloth experience but high-end pizza place with a happy and boisterous crowd that slowly thinned out during our visit late one evening. Good service. Spoke with the manager to offer compliments on server and everything else about the food. Often, our dining experience is uneven. Appetizers good but entree not so much. That sort of thing. Not at Mercurios. Everything was first rate. Do yourself a favor and give this spot a shot! read more

This place needs to hire some adults first and after they do that train them customer service. Ordered take out , two pasta dishes. I picked them up and was a little disappointed in the packaging, it was handed to me in a to small plastic bag but I didn't think twice about it. When getting it home I discovered no napkins, no plastic utensils and no bread. The food was similar to pasta you get in a buffet, dry and lacking sauce. I called the place back and asked to speak to the manager. A woman who claimed to be the manager gets on the phone and tells me that " you need to request napkins and utensils. That doesn't make sense, how do I know that if it's not disclosed on the menus? I asked why no bread, she tells me it doesn't come with bread , okay why not disclose that on the menus also? The menu says " extra bread 50 cents" that tells me if you want more bread then they give you it's 50 cents. It's okay though because I will never go back. read more

Really glad to have another Mercurio's, especially one close to home. We stopped in here shortly after they first opened and despite some minor new restaurant tweaks, are off to a great start. My pizza was a little thicker than I've had at their Shadyside location, and they had some logistical issues as everyone's salads were coming out after the pizza, but it was still a great meal. Restaurant wise, it was cooler in the back and the front section was fairly warm - probably due to the oven, but hopefully something they can remedy. We were too full for gelato this time, but they all looked delicious. read more

Have been to Mercurio's fox chapel twice. Once for their pizza making class and once for a special brunch. The staff and food were GREAT, their pizza isn't comparable to other pizza places, I dream about their pizza lol, not kidding. The margarita pizza is great. Their gelato is homemade and is unreal. Family Friendly environment, too! Can't wait to go back. read more

Although they are dealing with staffing issues, service was prompt. Excellent pizza and the best gluten free pizza ever for my wife and kid. On top of that, they have excellent gelato. A must go place in Pittsburgh read more

Outstanding quality Italian selections. From cocktails to gelato, Mercurio's delivers. Their pizzas are slightly larger than a portion for 1 and are wood fired. Make reservations on the weekend, they fill up fast. read more

I had dinner here with the family a few weeks ago. The staff was friendly and attentive, even though they were very busy at the time. I had the Mediterranean pizza, and my crust was a little soggy. I wish it was crispier, because the toppings had trouble staying on. The gelato was great. Overall, the experience was a pleasant one, and I would return. read more

Need I say it...another great dinner at Mercurios. We took my mother-in-law to dinner for her birthday and everything was wonderful! Our server, Lynda, was great and all of our dishes were delicious and our drinks were on point. They were busy which is great to see. Best pizza! read more

Good experience at this first time visit. Overall summary is that they are known for their pizza and that's probably the thing to get here. The pizza is almost an exact replica of Il pizzialo. The gelato was great! The wine, however, was not very good. Sent the first glass back to try a different one, which was mediocre at best. read more

Friday night pizza, glass of wine, and gelato to go. This place has a reasonably priced , very fresh, and nicely varied menu. My husband and I split the burrata and prosciutto appetizer, the sausage pizza, and the prosciutto pomodoro panini. All were delicious and fresh. The crust on the pizza is light and flavorful. I had a glass of Pinot noir and they have nice stemware (I don't like drinking wine out of chunky commercial wine glasses). This place is as casual or fancy as you make it - there are couples there on date nights, families with young kids covered in gelato, and friend groups. read more

Mercurio’s - Burrata and prosciutto appetizer - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I made an account just to post this review. I came to this place a couple days ago with my mother. Pizza was overpriced for what it was, soggy and bland. Got a Salsiccia but it had barely any cheese. The sauce was bland and crust was soggy. Nothing to deliver for a $17 pizza. All in the name of authenticity. The waitress was nice and apologetic, even got the owner to come talk to me but he was an ass and talked down to my mother !! Don't recommend if you want actual neopolitan pizza. Try your luck at Casa Del Sole ! read more

Great pizza and gelato. The crust is chewy. The toppings are generous. We got three regular crust pizzas and one gluten free pizza. One of our group has celiac. He said that they did a great job with the gf crust. Because of its nice chewy texture for a minute he wondered whether it really was gluten free but it was. I grow my own basil so we loaded up all of our pizzas with my basil. The gelato was pricy but very good. We got hazelnut and death by chocolate. The gelato is denser than ice cream so a little goes a long way. Because of the Covid 19 emergency, they are only doing take out. You can give them your credit card over the phone to minimize contact read more

A great new spot in Fox Chapel. They specialize in pizzas and gelato. The service here was excellent. The restaurant space is pretty cool, they have a bar (alcohol), gelato and a pizza area. We had a variety of pizzas including the marinara, lasagna and prosciutto. The marinara was simple but absolutely fantastic. The lasagna pizza was great too. The prosciutto was fine but I wasn't on board with how the prosciutto was basically just placed atop the pizza and not really incorporated into it. Their crust is really great. Make sure you try the gelato, they have a ton of flavors. Definitely check this place out. read more

If you are GLUTEN FREE DO NOT GO here. It's listed on the web menu but it does no exist!! The food menu is extremely limited with zero consideration for a food sensitivity. There is an option for a gluten free pizza crust...but only a couple of weekdays during lunch. On the regular menu there are no options...even the gelato is problematic. Gluten issues aside I found the regular menu to be really limited and overpriced. Food was ok but not great. I appreciated our waitstaff, she was helpful and attentive. But we won't be back. read more

This is my first review (hopefully last). On the online and in person menu it says "gluten free crust available EVERY DAY." I went there for lunch with my husband who has celiac disease, and the chef said he didn't make the dough so they couldn't make the pizza. We had to leave because he's allergic to anything with gluten, and had to find another place to have lunch. I would just request that you take off of the "EVERY DAY" claim from the menu. ** This was at the Fox Chapel location. The one star is for the the server and woman who greeted us because they both were really nice. read more

The best best best gluten free pizza in Pittsburgh. Really love their sausage and mushroom pizza! Excellent food, never been disappointed ordering take out or eating in the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The wood fired neopolitan pizza is too good to pass up when I'm in the area! read more

OWNERS/ MANAGER here's your problem at this location. Schedule more waitstaff!! (They sadly aren't paid much, so at least cover a predictably busy Thursday evening after Christmas Day) this is not the first time I have seen a packed house and not enough staff. We actually didn't even eat here this time. I am posting to compliment Kylie, the bartender/waitstaff, for a job well done. Kylie served us at the bar when we came to check for availability for a large party the next night. (While they do not take reservations for smaller groups,we were 10.) She was delightfull and assured us we would be accommodated. Being the day after Christmas the restaurant started filling up. While EVERY table was full, this lovely girl was the ONLY server. It was packed- and the kitchen staff ended up helping. Actually I wanted to get up and help! But she took care of everything with efficiency and grace- and a beautiful smile. UPDATE- Fresh ingredients-food is outstanding! Our pizzas arrived hot and delicious. Thanks again Kylie! read more

Had an amazing time visiting this location for their pizza class! Their class was so informative but most importantly - so much fun! I have recommending it to so many friends! If you are planning to attend - come hungry!!! We had an amazing charcuterie, appetizers, pasta, pizza, gelato.... and lots of wine! Everything was so delicious. We were taught how to make their dough, and then got to roll and dress our own pizzas! We even got to bake our pizzas in their amazing oven! read more

I have been gluten free for about 6-7 years. When I bit into the crust of Mercurios gluten free pizza I nearly cried. It is easily the best gluten free pizza on earth. If you did not tell a person it was gluten free they most likely could not tell. And, it's delicious. The sauce and toppings are premium quality. Such a gem of a place. Pittsburgh is lucky to have them. I live in Northern Virginia but am from Pittsburgh. I come up at least once a month. Since discovering Mercurio's I stop every visit. my mouth is watering just writing this. Tell any GF people you know its the real deal. read more

This place is great- it's classic Neoplaton - done in a wood fire oven in front of you. Wait staff was a little green - but hopefully they will learn! Overall great place and very friendly- the guys making the pizzas are nice read more

Had both Pizza and Gelato. Pizza was great. Will be going back again soon. Staff was very attentive.

First time for us. Everything was excellent. And it all tasted so unique...not sure how to explain it. Will be back!!!

I jokingly started to text my wife about how the waiter kept walking by our table without checking on us. After the 10th text the joke got really old. We waited for 10 minutes for him to come out and take our order. He never brought the appetizer or salad we ordered. Our pizzas came via a food runner (which seemed to be the owner because she was the only one that seemed to hustle at all) we told her they weren't here and sure enough they had been sitting I. The kitchen the whole time. The pizzas were good but the crust was a little soggy compared to most wood fired pizzas. The flavor was good though and the only reason I gave a 3 star review. I also asked for two pizza boxes to take home the leftover slices. When he came out with one I figured it wasn't worth 10 more minutes of wait for a new one. Good thing we don't have a vegetarian in the family or they would not have had their pizza leftover. read more

The best gluten free pizza in Pittsburgh! Everyone working there is so nice and helpful! 13/10!!!

Great place for hosting work friends, the food is always amazing! The service was great as well!

I absolutely love this place! It's such a good feel place with awesome food and so much pride in the quality and authenticity of what they serve. In an era of franchise restaurants, this family owned and run establishment is a true gem. I have not been disappointed in anything that I have ordered. The pizza is perfection! Everything from the antipasti to the gelato is delicious. And a shout out to the selection of great wine at reasonable prices. Check it out for yourself and be prepared to love it!

Great service, great pizza and just a warm place to sit with the family and chow down. My wife prefers to eat Gluten Free as she recently has started developing symptoms and side effects to eating gluten. The staff prepares and cooks their GF pizzas in a separate area and helps us eat with peace of mind. We love coming back! read more

Hands down my favorite pizza in Pittsburgh. Mercurio's is the closest you'll come to real Italian pizza, and the gelato is to die for! We always take an extra point home. It reminds me of going out for pizza in Calabria when e we travel to Italy to visit family. If you haven't tried Mercurio's yet, you're missing out! read more

Fantastic service. Amazing food . And desserts to love The Gelato selection is vast a flavor to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth read more

Ugh. I had such high hopes, but it was not to be. Salad was fine. Had beef ragu and pizza margherita; both were bland. Ragu was particularly disappointing because it's not a particularly hard thing to make. It was extremely watery. Pepper flakes helped with flavor. I tried to tighten up the sauce with grated parm to no avail. I feel bad for having to leave a bad review because I would love for the place to succeed. Hopefully, there will be some improvement by the time I try again. read more
