Heaven, the only place to describe somewhere as magical as this, the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life, the pizza is utterly perfect. If you have not come here before I recommend you do immediately, the staff is always so welcoming and friendly and makes this place really feel like a second home to me. I'm no big pizza guy but this place is actually so good words can't describe it. The inside is also amazing too, the couch is so comfortable I feel like I'm sinking into it, the interior makes me imagine myself as a big fat Italian guy coming home from work to a nice big pie sitting on the table nice and hot. Please come here and you will not be disappointed I put my reputation as a respected yelper on the line. - Daquan out read more

Pastoli's Pizza, Pasta & Paisans - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

When I lived in Regent Square, Pastoli's was my absolute go-to spot. Whether it was a lazy weeknight or a weekend craving, they never disappointed. The pizza crust and sauce are always spot-on, and their pasta dishes are pure comfort food. On top of the great food, the service has always been super friendly and fast. Miss living so close to this gem! read more

Pastoli's hit the mark for me as I was looking for something I could pick up while heading into town and take back to my room. I had already done some Yelp research and called on my way and ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It was a little spicy, for me it was fine but if you don't like spice don't order this pizza. It had french fries on it so I couldn't pass this pizza up. It was very good, my only issue which wasn't a big one is that when I called I was placed on hold for several minutes and had to hang up and call back. Pastoli's is worth giving a try if you're in the area. read more

got kicked out for taking a sip of my friends drink, old white guy with long grey hair got all pissy, claiming i need to pay for a drink to take a SIP of my friends. I then said okay and went to refill it for him and he kicked me out. Pizza is always soggy, drinks are alright. Get better staff read more

This spot is the definition of amazing food, service, and ambiance. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh and it really is because of both the food and the servers. I absolutely adore the servers here, as they're always super happy to give me new recommendations on what to order! Their wings are the literally best wings I've ever had, and I especially love that you can get them smoked to get that charred flavor. My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try. I also love ordering a side of seasoned fries and garlic bread to dip into the extra wing sauce!! Their fries and garlic bread are crispy to perfection; you genuinely won't find better anywhere else. I also tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza as per their recommendation, and it was soooo cheesy and yummy! Aside from the food being so delicious, my favorite part about coming here is the sense of community you get. They have couches and TVs where customers love to sit to enjoy their food, and it makes for a super cozy and comfortable environment. I also notice so many regulars who love this restaurant and come back either weekly or daily, and it really shows how great the store's bond is with their customers. This is probably my go-to spot to show people when they visit Pittsburgh because it really highlights the city in such a positive light. If I had to recommend one spot in Pittsburgh, it would be this one!!!! read more

The pizza was amazing filled with large amounts of fresh toppings, and plenty of cheese. Both the crust and sauce were excellent. Also got the Cajun wings, which were very tasty and not spicy and cooked very well. We very much enjoyed our meal and intend to return again. Also enjoyed sitting on the couch and watching the NFL draft while waiting for our order. Very relaxed atmosphere and the staff was very polite and thoughtful. Thanks so much :) read more

A New Yorker walks into a Pittsburgh Pizza shop. Pittsburgh is a little light on vegan restaurants so I opted for a pizza place with vegan options and I must say, I was very impressed. Ordered a medium pizza with banana peppers, a chick'n parm hoagie and a buffalo chicken wedgie, which was described as an un-enclosed calzone with less cheese so you won't hate yourself for eating the whole thing. Everything was really good (the Buffalo wedgie could've benefitted from some kind of ranch sauce to counteract the heat) and the pizza could hold up even in NY. Looking forward to the leftover slices on the way home. read more

Pastoli's Pizza, Pasta & Paisans - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I think that my previous review was a bit harsh to say the least. For this reason I am writing an update. Also, because at work we just ordered from here for everyone's lunch. We got three pizzas, a pepperoni, a hawaiian and a plain gluten free pizza. All three were pretty decent pizzas. The gluten free was the most interesting because I have never had that kind of pizza before. The crust was thick, dense, soft, but chewy. It was very interesting. I kind of wish that my co-worker hade ordered it with some toppings, but hey, it's free pizza. Anyways, Pastoli's hits the just passable mark for me. It is cool that they offer vegan and gluten free. I really didn't like their vegan pie, so that kind of sucks. The gluten free is worth trying, it is not bad. So, cheers for Pastoli's. read more

The sauce and cheese were good but the crust was pretty hard I think it was just cooked too long.

Solid pizza place with a lot of portions for people on certain diets (vegan, gluten free, etc). Prices for some items are a little expensive and portions are just okay, but quality seems relatively high. I ordered the regular cheese pizza and caramel cinnamon puffs for dessert. The pizza was pretty standard. I thought the crust was on the thicker side, while I prefer it thinner, but it wasn't bad. Nice crispness on the edges but not so much in the middle. Adequate amount of cheese, and even distribution. Good amount of lightly sweet sauce. I really liked their homemade ranch, and I think it's definitely worth getting on the side. It's less than a dollar extra for a nice little cup. Its super creamy and flavorful, and goes really well with the pizza crust. The cinnamon puffs were quite good. They are essentially little pieces of fried dough with a cinnamon sugar dusting. Good portion for the price. The caramel was a little liquidy but still good. Nice dessert. All in all, this is a solid place for pizza and other similar items. It is especially good if you are a vegan or follow a gluten-free diet. I would definitely recommend trying their ranch regardless of what you order as your entree. read more

I can't say enough about this family owned small business that my son and I popped into randomly. The staff are just delightful providing suggestions and checking on you. The decor has a nice at home feel with even couches to have your meal watching the tv which is where we watched the game! The prices are very good and food mouthwatering. There are six packs and single beers to purchase with a huge variety to select. My son had the chicken fingers and fries while I had the spinach and feta rolls (my son hates veggies and stole some of mine). Highly recommend! read more

Pastoli's is always delicious. Their wings are some of the best in the city. Really crispy. Their pizza is phenomenal and they have great homemade ranch. read more

We like trying new pizza places, and Pastoli's did not disappoint! We ordered a pizza and some cheese fries online. Our food was ready for pickup within 25 minutes, which I thought was reasonable. The pie had a good ratio of cheese, sauce, and toppings. Another thing I that I thought was unique about Pastoli's is that they have a gluten free and vegan menu, which I think is great! When I went inside to pick up my order, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would definitely order from here again! read more

I placed a VERY large order of over 25 pizzas and 10 trays of salad with Chris, the owner on a Monday with a Wednesday requested delivery. Chris was extremely responsive and I knew I could trust that the order would arrive on time and AS ordered, which it did-by Chris himself! Will definitely order from Pastolis again and appreciate immensely the hometown service!! Oh, and food was DELICIOUS! read more

My husband and I were visiting Phipps, and were craving pizza after our visit. I hopped onto my Yelp app and Pastoli's was the first restaurant listed. It had an excellent review rating, so we decided to give it a try! The restaurant is located in a corner shop in Squirrel Hill. It appeared as though on-street parking was the only method of parking for the shop. Thankfully it was a quiet Saturday and we were able to find a parking spot with no issues. Pastoli's has a large sign out front, so you can't miss it. The restaurant has ample seating for couples and small families, but I wouldn't plan a big party to dine in at this location. The restaurant was clean, modern, and welcoming. They have a big sofa by the window facing a large screen tv that was playing basketball games. I thought this was a creative alternative for people to relax and enjoy pizza comfortably. We ordered an extra large pizza with half green peppers and half pepperoni. I believe an extra large is a 16-cut, so it will feed a small group. The pizza was EXCELLENT! Everything from the crust, to the sauce, to the toppings tasted fresh. This would be my new go-to pizza place if I didn't live so far away.They also offer gluten free and allergy-friendly versions of their pizza, and offer other forms of pasta, hoagies, and appetizers. Unfortunately we didn't have the appetite to try anything besides the pizza. The restaurant and food is wonderful and I would highly recommend Pastoli's to anyone looking for delicious food from a small-business in Pittsburgh. read more

Tables are a bit tight. We took a stroller and it was hard to find a place for it. The Buffalo was not as flavorful as I would have liked but we had another pizza akin to the meat lovers that was 10/10. I really like their red sauce. It's not too sweet. read more

I ordered a small Basil Pesto Pizza and it had no Pesto flavor whatsoever. None. I called and the manager, Chris, told me it is the same Pesto Sauce that they've used for 8 years. I had eaten 1/2 of 1 piece, and Chris asked me to send a photo, which I did. He called back a few minutes later and reiterated the earlier message that it is the same Pesto Sauce that they've used for 8 years. Well, I've eaten Pesto Sauce for longer than Chris has been alive, and let me reiterate that Pistoli's BASIL PESTO PIZZA has ZERO BASIL PESTO FLAVOR. I encourage you to head right over to Pistoli's and try one yourself. Ask for Chris by name. read more

While in town for my daughter's basketball tournament we decided we wanted some pizza. One catch....as a nursing mom my son has a dairy and peanut allergy so I was worried if we would find a place that made vegan pizzas. I checked yelped and this was the first place on the list. I did my due diligence and I checked their website and right away I was impressed as it mentioned how they separate their kitchen from regular food (allergens) and the non allergen food. I called to place my order and the girl taking my order was super helpful answering my questions and she was genuinely nice. I ordered a large cheese pizza and a large vegan pizza and added crumbled sausage on it. The girl politely informed me that the cheese on the vegan pizza was a vegan, non dairy mozzarella cheese. 25 mins later I arrived to pick it up and the aroma was so amazing as soon as I opened the door. Good social distancing partitions up and you could see the kitchen from the counter. Nice and clean! Awesome. The ride back to the hotel was so intense as I wanted to eat the pizza while driving as it smelled so good. As we opened the box the pizza even looked amazing. My daughter groaned so loud with her first bite and stated this was the best pizza she has ever had. My fiance said the same as they had the regular cbeese pizza. I started cutting up the vegan pizza for my son and he immediately was quiet and not playing around as usual with his food. He was putting it in and ensuring he got more very quickly. When I finally took my first bite I was floored as this pizza was phenomenal! Trust me this place is a MUST hands down. If you want pizza this is the place. Period. Do not look any further. Prices were amazing as well. read more

Pastoli's Pizza, Pasta & Paisans - Gluten Free Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pizza here is too good. Although I experiment with my pizza selections, I don't bother when it comes to pizza with chicken. My standard order for a chicken topping pizza is coupled with bbq sauce. This time around I chose the 'spicy bird' that comes with chicken, jalapeño peppers, fries, cheese and honey habanero sauce. The pizza was fresh and the toppings were sublime. I simply loved it. I would definitely order from pastoli's again. read more

We enjoyed good tasting pizza at this cozy neighborhood restaurant. The calzones are huge.

As someone diagnosed with a gluten allergy later in life, losing the ability to eat a delicious sub or pizza was definitely a bummer. Pastoli's has subs that, while gluten free, taste exactly like the real thing. Their pizza is equally as delicious, and it's such a huge relief to not have to worry about cross-contamination with fried foods as well. I've eaten in the restaurant and ordered it to go or for delivery, and every time it's delicious. My personal favorite is the Italian hoagie, with cajun fries. As a kid I spent way too much time in this storefront when it was West Coast Video, begging my parents to let me rent something. Now I'm happy to spend time there again, finally being able to eat excellent quality gluten-free pizza. read more

I've become a huge fan of this place. I usually order the spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and a salad but today I thought I would continue to test the menu. I ordered a small white pizza and a order of loaded potatoe skins. I picked it up in about 20 minutes and the white pizza was perfect. The dough was airy but not too thick, tomatoes were fresh and there was an ample amount of cheese. The potatoe skins stole the show though! I've never had or even thought about deep frying my skins but obviously they have and it was amazing! Seriously I would drive across the city just to get the potato skins read more

Ugh. I WISH they delivered to my house in Mt. Lebo! This is a great gluten free pizza option in the East End. Might be one of the better GF pizzas I've had. I say might because I bet "fresh outta the oven" is the way to enjoy this pizza. My pizza was very good but I think would have been awesome if it was piping hot. But hey, that's delivery. Next time, it's going into the toaster oven and I bet it would perk right up! I loved all the ingredient in my chicken, bacon pizza. There was even fries on top, which I didn't see on the description but was a nice surprise. Who doesn't love fries on things in Pittsburgh? I could have used a side of ranch to dip my pizza in. I will most definitely pop in when I'm on this side of town next time. Great job on the GF crust guys! Not dry (the crust itself was nice and chewy) and not too thin where it's more of a flat bread. It really did taste like a "normal" crust. I'm a fan, for sure! read more

Friendly service; I had the buffalo grilled chicken salad, and the chicken was very tasty and good quality. Other people in the group had wings and pizza and the portions were generous and tasty. Great neighborhood place! read more

So yummy!! We got the gyro pizza & some jalapeño poppers for takeout. Gyro pizza was so filling with plenty of toppings, we couldn't finish it, but we really wanted to! The service was A1, so quick and friendly. Also there was live music being played when I went in! Great vibes. read more

Food is good but hours of service are a comically short. They open super late and close super early. Environment is nice enough

A very good pizza option here in PGH. My wife liked the gluten free pizza. My kids liked the fries. I really like the pizza here; the crust is a little thicker and chewier than I like, and they also go with a touch more cheese than is necessary (both of these things are very Pittsburgh), but overall. Very good takeout pizza option. read more

I wasn't aware of Pastoli's until a friend recommended I try it. Every pizza place deserves a chance so I decided to see what makes this place any different than the scores of other pizza places located in the area. Anyone who is willing to enter the ring with Aiello's and Mineo's nearby earns my attention. First impression: It doesn't look like a pizza shop. The warm lighting and comfy seating throughout reminded me of a coffee café. Never hurts to look inviting whatever you are selling. I was quickly greeted and asked for my order. I decided to go with a few slices of pizza they had ready. I picked up the pizza box and immediately realized these are not wimpy weighing slices at all. I needed two hands to carry them! The pizza tasted good and it is certainly worth another visit in order to try out some of the other menu selections. Besides offering their traditional and specialty pizzas they serve a nice variety of allergen-friendly, vegan, and gluten-free menu items. More so than any other pizza place I have seen. The starters include fun things like corn puppies and the amazing queso sticks. Salads, hoagies, wedgies, wings, calzones, pasta dishes are also available. They even have a few dessert choices. Caramel cinnamon puffs sounds like a nice finish to your meal. I thank my friend for the recommendation and hope to return to Pastoli's soon. I suppose a little competition never hurts anyone. read more

Easily my favorite pizza place in Pittsburgh! I left Pittsburgh in 2019 and recently went back for a short trip. Let me say Pastoli's is everything I remember it to be. It's a shame I had to travel back. I usually get a simple cheese pizza. It's the right kind of greasy without being overbearing. And the sauce is proportionate to the cheese. The crust is the best part, I love how fluffy yet thick it is to support all those toppings. Until next time, Pastoli's! read more
