"That smells so good!" Another patron at the brewery comments, as our pizza was delivered. The pizza came fast, hot, and thin crust like it was New York style. No delivery fee. Everyone in our group enjoyed it. Breadsticks were a big hit. We will order from there again. read more

Picked up a last minute yummy slice! Next time order a pie! Smelled amazing and was very yummy

Just got a steak hoagie. There's about one ounce of steak on it. Horrible. Paid top dollar. Won't be back.

Really good! We called them just before they closed. They had 1 slice left and we got it! It was HUGE and delicious! So glad we found them. We were starving. The slice was big enough for two of us to have just a perfect snack! read more

Pesaro's Pizza - Carry out special - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and a Gyro. The shrimp Alfredo was a far cry from shrimp Alfredo. It tasted like dollar store, canned Alfredo and some frozen salad shrimp thrown on top. The Gyro was nothing to write home about it was little below mediocre not much flavor or taste. read more

Great local pizza place with lots of options and the team there is wonderful! Highly recommend ordering a gourmet specialty pizza or hoagie!! read more

I'm giving it a 4 because sometimes you just want a pizza that isn't "gourmet" and costs $25! They make a solid pizza if you just want a pizza and not a 90min wait. That's a lifesaver in Lawrenceville. Plus, they have actual slices that are great. And by slices, it means a quick slice. If they don't have any, they don't sell it. Unlike Driftwood who sell slices that take an hour to get. Solid pizza read more

Great tasting pleasant atmosphere now seeing that you don't deliver to my address....

Just good, solid, reasonably priced pizza. Just the right amount of sauce and toppings. Tasty crust. Friendly staff and fast service on a Sunday evening. read more

Pesaro's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So glad this place is back since it is my favorite pizza and definitely the best in Western PA! I joke and say this pizza is so good it gave me a heart attack since a day after eating a Large bacon pizza, I had a heart attack but that was due to raging diabetes and being fat. Every person I've gotten Pesaros pizza, absolutely loved it. Always consistent and delicious, and the price for a pick up special is unbeatable. read more

Pesaro's Pizza - Pizza and Wings Special - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm giving them 5 stars with the caveat that you have to realize what this place is. If you want fancy, gourmet pizza, there's a wolf-themed place down the street that does that VERY well. What Pesaro's does really well is classic American fare, at good prices for the location. That's Pizza, wings, Italian, fried food, and even some local favorites like gyros. A one-stop food cravings spot. My son absolutely loves the gyro hoagie, he tried it on a whim and wants it every time now. The pizza has varied in quality for the many years I've ordered from them (so glad they're back now after the fire at the old place), but generally it's exactly what I was hoping for. Living nearby means my deliveries are practically fresh from the oven- during non-peak times I can go from ordering to eating in 25 minutes. This place is a family staple. Reliable food, charming owner, neighborhood classic. Be specific about what you want and you'll probably get it. One thing to note, and maybe it's just me, but I always get a kick out of how much the owner (at least I assume he's the owner, could be wrong) audibly hates using the POS system computer, but he's almost ALWAYS working the register and phone. That's a charming quirk you won't find everywhere. This is the type of place that will keep Lawrenceville grounded. read more

The way I was treated on 8/13 25 i would give a -10 if i could. let me tell my story and please read. I have been ordering from Pesaro's in Lawrenceville for years, way before the fire burnt down their first building. Food and service was fantastic. They had everything perfect. But on Wednesday 8/13/25 that all changed. My fiancé wanted a chef salad and an order of garlic bread ,Chris took the order. Order was delivered at the appropriate time, Pesaro's is always on time. No garlic bread, no big deal, call back, Tarisa , if that's her name at 830 pm. explained the situation she said you never ordered that. So in response I say on the recording when I called it said all calls are recorded for quality assurance. She was very rude and said I don't know anything about that. It would clearly be on there stating what I ordered, correct? you would think , why else have it? Than says I'm to busy for this and hung up on me. I hope they listen to the so called recorded for quality assurance because they lost a long time customer. I'm going back to Franks Pizza because when there is a mistake they will fix it without hesitation. Good bye Pesaro's I'd hate to leave but this experience was uncalled for. Thank you for all the years of great food. read more

Great addition to Upper Lawrenceville! Extremely friendly staff and the food is delicious.

Has been a staple in Lawrenceville for 20 years! Glad they're back. Great hoagies, wings and pizza!

Pizza and hoagie was delicious! Can't ask for a better pizza! Loved it! I personally will suggest less cheese and more sauce the next time, but all 5 people were satisfied. They are near me for pick up, which makes it more convenient. read more

I've driven past here almost evey weekday for the past few years and finally gave it a try. I stopped in for a slice of pizza to go. The two employees were very helpful and friendly. The store was small but clean. It only took a few minutes for my food to come out so it was nice and hot. The slice was ginormous! It lasted me 2 days. I liked the amount of toppings and cheese. I wasn't a hung fan of the sauce. It was too sweet. They have a large menu and would try something else next time read more

Pesaro's Pizza - Pineapple pizza slice - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

For $12, you can't afford to go anywhere else in Lawrenceville. And why would you want to? For very little money you can get an extra large pizza from Pesaro's. Its not a flatbread, not some gourmet truffle-oil mushroom B.S. -- nothing artisanal about it. Just good pizza without any pretensions. This isn't just the best pizza I've ever had at this price point. This is one of the best pizzas I've had period. It comes with plenty of cheese, a great sauce, wonderful dough, enough toppings to satisfy. And it's $12. read more

Came here after a night on the town in Pittsburgh as well as after some bars in Lawrenceville. Excellent small pizza joint with pizza by the slice as well as medium large multiple specialty pizzas.

When I'm of sound mind, I tend to disapprove of competitive eating for a number of reasons, but a certain co-worker who knows of my huge appetite kept challenging me to a contest involving pizza. After telling him "No" many, many times, I found myself tricked into it once someone decided that it would be a fun way to raise money for a disabled co-worker. We each had 20 minutes to eat as many slices of Pesaro's pizza that we could. I managed to down 7. My big-mouthed colleague did 8. Yes, the finish was controversial. My opponent chose smaller slices, than mine, and therefore I still contend that I consumed more pizza than he. I burned the roof of my mouth (no one counted for the pizza's heat) and almost choked on the thick, chewy cuts of dough, but it was done to serve a good end. People pledged money based on how many pieces were devoured, and by the following work day, the two of us had raised over $500 for the individual in question, and with so much pizza left over, everyone was victorious. I'm done with eating contests, though. Ooof! That was tough. read more

Pesaro's Pizza - the front of the restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ordered a 16 cut with X tra cheese. The delivery man was very nice. The pizza was cold, and hardly had cheese or sauce on it. The pizza tasted old and re heated. read more

Just ordered from here. Had my order delivered and got to try an original calzone with mushrooms, pizza with garlic butter sauce (no marinara) with broccoli, and a pizza with their marinara and mushrooms. The pizza crust was fluffy and a very satisfying consistency - if that's the sort of pizza you like. It's not my favorite and I'm sure that has something to do with lackluster review. Regardless, cheese was plentiful and everything looked as though someone paid some attention to it. I was unimpressed by their sauce. Keep in mind I had a cup of it on the side of the calzone that allowed me to get a pretty clear impression. It's boring and thin. I don't think it has any redeeming qualities. The mushroom pizza was cheesy and it was piping hot. Nothing spectacular though. The broccoli pizza with the garlic butter sauce was the most disappointing. The garlic butter sauce was easily as boring as the marinara. How is that possible!? Not sure I tasted butter, but the box was pretty greasy so it might have been in there. Definitely not any garlic in there though. Boring. Boring. Boring. I'm new to Pittsburgh and I'm still learning my way around the pizza joints. I recommend Caliente if you like thicker, fluffier crusts. I still have a lot of places to try and I hope I won't be coming back around to Pesaro's Pizza any time soon, or never. I think never would be okay. read more

Really well-priced pizza spot with super polite/friendly staff in Lawrenceville. I just didn't really enjoy the pizza all that much until I re-heated/baked it the next day ! Kind of doughy and not really my thing! read more

Pesaro's Pizza - Mushroom, onion, pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We recently moved to Pittsburgh and have been looking for a good pizza place. But we will not be going back here. The pizza was all mush. Anyone who enjoys pizza a lot like myself and use to work in a pizza shop for quite some years knows it's about texture. This pie needed another 15min in the oven at least. The sauce and toppings moisture went right to the crust and was soggy. Cheese was just on the melting point. read more

Got some pizza from here after a night of drinking and it hit the spot! I appreciate this place staying open late to accommodate the late-night dining crowd. You can buy cheese and pepperoni by the slice which was thin crust and exactly what I needed. The people working here are also very friendly! read more

Pesaro's Pizza is a remarkable, and I strongly recommend it. Extremely friendly, fantastic menu items & atmosphere. Every single item that we ordered was very fresh and tasty. Fabulous. Perfect service and staff. Keep it up Pesaro's Pizza! Can't wait to go back soon. read more

I do not understand how this place doesn't have a 5-star rating. Their pizza is always excellent, with fresh toppings and amazing crust! And every time I have ordered from them, my pizza comes to me piping hot earlier than expected! Did I mention that their price point is unbeatable by any other place in the city? So yeah, order from here! read more

I am so disappointed in this pizza place. It used to be awesome, and it has completely gone downhill. I have lived here for 7 years always ordered from them. When you call in, they don't always get my order right, I live down the street but even worse I always tip 20% and there delivery men are horrifically rude, opinionated, and cannot follow directions. ( example : NO CONTACT ) - please do not give knock on my door and then talk to me through the door to tell me I should have a table outside for the pizza. When an order gets messed up there owner blames you and never has given a discount. As popular as this place is and it's tasty... the people, delivery, and workers are nothing but young or extra old people that are shitty to you when your nice. It is a shame.. read more

My daughter and her friends were screaming to try their Buffalo Chicken pizza! They were right, it was amazing! Very good service also.

I've ordered from here twice and had two very different, but equally dissatisfying experiences. The first time the driver got lost on his way to my house which is literally on the corner of two fairly busy residential streets, but the food was alright enough and in the end it still wasn't late. The second time, however, made it clear I'd never order again. I ordered the food and it was generally on time, but for some reason instead of marinara for my breadsticks I got ketchup? Which wouldn't have been a huge deal had they not been bone dry. The pizza wasn't terrible, but the sauce was utterly awful and NOT the same as the sauce on the pizza I'd ordered the first time. I'm not sure what changed but I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone that wants worthwhile food. read more

Since Graziano's was out of the crust we had wanted and we found that frustrating, we opted to order from Pesaro's.... what a good find! The pizza was scrumptious! I cannot give them 5 as I love Graziano's (the one lady at work here hooked me on their fabulous sicilian crust), But I can give them a good solid 4 and A+++++++++++++++++++ for delivery and being easy to order from too on top of having yummo food! read more

My mom visits me for pizza. Perhaps there are other reasons such as my charming personality or birthright, but the fact that Pesaro's can be delivered to my apartment entices her a bit more. Prices aren't the cheapest, but are pretty comparable for the area. A fan of the fact that you can order Today we went the online ordering route which always estimates a longer delivery time, but I was pleased at the time it took to be delivered. I also appreciated that tonight's delivery man wasn't smoking which I have had happen to me before (first I don't want my food to smell/taste like smoke second if you are having trouble juggling a reciept/pen and pizza you shouldn't add something else into the equation). As we normally do we went the make your own pizza today opting for a white pizza with hot peppers and meat. The number of toppings is impressive and welcomed considering we pay for them individually. The pizza was so hot you would have thought they cooked it on the way down Butler Street. Only complaint if it was entirely too greasy - like leaked through the box + paper towels and left a puddle on my table. Stand by and safe bet if you need a pizza from the neighborhood. read more

This is our go to place for pizza , always fresh and yummy?!!-" Not fond of the fried mushrooms and cheese sticks it seems like the grease isn't hot enough. read more

This place was my go to for hoagies for many years. I ordered a steak hoagie the other day and it was burnt as hell where it hurt my teeth, had wayyy too much lettuce, and had barely any MEAT. Of course the cook was a bum who rushed outside to smoke his cig as i was leaving. Never again!!! read more

We got pizza there last night and it was dry. The whole pizza was dry. The cheese and sauce. Sometimes we get good pizza and sometimes it is bad. Last night which was a Saturday it was bad. You expect it to be good on a busy day. read more

When it's Sunday morning at 1030 am and you want pizza badly...call these guys! Called at 1038 am for delivery to Bloomfield, was told 45 minutes (average) and food arrived in under 30.

$12.84 is an amazing price for the EXTRA large one topping pizza made with real cheese, fresh toppings, perfectly seasoned sauce, and dough that's done right, pick up/walk in special. Plentiful and full of toppings. Real cheese that's doesn't make ordering extra cheese necessary. (Ahhhh yeah, mmmmmmm, but we do, because we love their xtra cheese pizza w the thick fresh cheese layer, oh. my. yum. ) Fresh toppings. I am going to be honest- Personally, Pesaro's Pizza is tied w Caliente's as my favorite local places to get pizza. There are many similarities. Quality. Both use fresh, quality cheese and toppings. Both serve dough that's handled properly before it's even cooked and it can be tasted in the product when eaten. However there are some huge differences. To start, price. Pisaro's is about 12 and some change for the xl. About ten less than my other favorite place. Pesaro's pizza size is also noticeably much, much bigger. We can order one xl and feed the entire family w a few slices leftover. Our other favorite place requires us to buy at least two of their xl size pizzas to equal one of Pesaro's. Pesaro's Pizza pick up xl one topping pizza special is amazing. $12.84 is a fantastic deal! read more
