The pizza here is Perfect! The service is Super Fast. The guys are amazing adding all the orders in their heads! It's truly something to see especially when they are busy! read more

This is my favorite pizza, the best that I have every had. I do not live in the area, but I was in town for the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon yesterday and had to make the trip up to Ambridge to get some pizza from Pizza House, which is also informally known as "Police Station Pizza" since the police station used to be next door. This pizza place has been here a very long time (since the 1950s), and they use the same recipes that they used when I was a child. My grandparents lived in nearby Leetsdale, and we used to always get pizza from Pizza House whenever I visited them. Everything about this place is the same as when I was a child, including the pizza itself, the order system, prices by the slice on the wall, and pizza served in white boxes. The prices have gone up with inflation, but they are still very reasonably priced. On this visit I got some plain cheese and a pepperoni slices. The pizza is very good, actually the best I have ever had in my life. It is a square pizza with a very crispy bottom crust and a light and airy crust on top. The pizza sauce is also very good, as is the cheese and pepperoni. They put lots of cheese on it, and throw the toppings and some extra cheese on it after it comes out of the oven. The pizza is a thick crust, kind of a cross between Sicilian style pizza served in New York City and Detroit style pizza, such as you can get at Jet's. It is very good since they make the dough fresh daily and use high quality ingredients. I bought a tray of the crust to take back home with me for $7.00 (of you can pay full price for the unbaked option that includes the sauce, cheese, and toppings). The prices are very reasonable - $1.05 per cheese slice and 20 cents per topping and 25 cents for extra cheese (plus tax). They only offer takeout pizza. They also offer pepperoni rolls for $4.50, which they did not offer when I was a child. They also sell bottled drinks. The order system is very simple - you tell them how many slices you want, the toppings you want, whether you want it baked or unbaked, pay them in cash, and then wait patiently for your pizza to be ready (they have a couple of benches inside). They are very friendly and are very efficient despite being very busy. You can also call ahead. I noticed that unbaked pizza orders were popular, as were full tray (24-slice) and half tray (12-slice) orders. They are only open during the evenings, opening at 5:00 PM, and they do not take credit cards. Note that they are closed on Sunday. In summary, this is the best pizza I have ever had in my life, and that includes 3 trips to Italy and multiple trips to New York City and Chicago. I highly recommend PIzza House, and if you live in PIttsburgh, it is definitely worth the trip up the Ohio River Boulevard. I wish I could give them 10 stars, they deserve it. read more

Love their pizza!!! They use the freshest ingredients! Also enjoy getting it unbaked and baking at home too!

I really just want to take a moment to share this review to showcase how amazing the team working today was! I wanted to purchase pizza for a local medical group for lunch - this location didn't open until 4p but they were there prepping the dough for their customers later today. They prepared two pizzas for me and was ready when I arrived to pick them up. THIS is what customer service is all about and thankful I found this place through an online search for nearby pizzas. I appreciate the accommodations and I will certainly use them again for things like this. AWESOME job!!!! read more

This pizza is one of my all-time favorites.... great sauce, fresh ingredients and even when there's a long line the service is so fast. We always order a full pan and they make it so quick! We've taken home the at-home cooking kits before too, and they are just as delicious! read more

I always forget to take photos!! But this time, and the reason was because I wolfed that pizza down! I like this place. It's open late, even though it was crowded, I got my slices within minutes, they were tasty! I like the sauce. The crust is thick, it's very crispy on the bottom and light above the crispy bottom. Not greasy. They got shake-on pepper flakes and herbs. I just got the cheese plain, and two slices came to $2.35. I will definitely be back! This is a pretty much a no nonsense place. Just my style. Take out only. It's just pizzas and soda. Very friendly. read more

I have been going to 'Police Station Pizza' for 40 years. I have always enjoyed it! Ordering experience can be somewhat different when crowded. As soon you walk in, shout out the number of slices you are ordering. Then they eventually get around to you. Doesn't take that long. read more

Omg no. I don't get it, the pizza is just not good. I think people must be afraid to stand up and say what we all know, that this isn't good pizza, because there is no way so many people actually like it. read more

I grew up eating "police station pizza" because it was my mother's favorite plus it was neat to see it next to the old police station in Ambridge--hence the nickname. It's a square-style (Sicilian) cut pizza. It's always cheaper to buy a box full of pizza and you may think it's a lot but trust me, it's good for breakfast or lunch the next day. It lasts! It was the pizza we'd buy while we waited for parades downtown (when I was younger) or perfect for a party because it's filling even with a couple slices! The folks who work there don't write anything down but remember a bunch of orders by memory (which is amazing to watch)! This is not a sit-down pizza shop. You usually just drop in, order and when it's ready you take your box(es) and go. This is a hometown favorite for those who live in the area. read more

What can I say, I grew up close to this pizza shop. "It still is police station pizza to me" ( Ambridge PD) was next to thie pizza house and have to give them 5 stars. The service is always great and the employees' personality is as well. The order takers that remember everyone's order and how team work really works. Eric the bald guy has that place in control, oh yeah Buzzy does also. read more

What couldn't you love about this pizza? Probably the best pizza in the area now that my favorite piZza place unfortunately closed in sewickley. We frequent this place often! read more

I really like the pizza houses pizza it has been one of my favorites since I was a little girl and lived on church street in Ambridge down from Old Economy. I normally get my slices with extra cheese and pepperoni, although I think I might just start getting it without extra cheese, there's so much cheese on there and it's unmelted sometimes so it can be a little much. You can order a half sheet or a full sheet unbaked too along with the toppings. Prices are reasonable. read more

Pizza House - 3 slices with extra cheese, pepperoni, and one with mushrooms. - Pizza Near Me - Ambridge, Pennsylvania

Finally made it here. When you walk in, you'll be asked, "How many?" That means how many squares of this delicious Sicilian pizza. Then you pick a topping for each slice. Eg: "Eight. Four pepperoni, two peppers two with extra unmelted cheese." That's right. I said "unmelted cheese." As a native New Yorker, I tend to be a pizza snob. I found Pittsburgh sorely lacking in decent pizza. This place, however, is quite good. This place is a bit run down but in all of the best ways. No seats, no tables; just a large room in front of the counter where everyone is anxiously waiting for his or her pizza. read more

A favorite among Ambridge natives. As a transplant, I too love it. The ordering system is weird (think the soup episode of Seinfeld) and you'll never understand it if you didn't grow up with it. Basically, just go in, tell them how many actual squares of pizza you want, then 10 minutes later they'll ask you what each topping is for each square. They'll add it all up in their heads and give you a total. You pay in cash only. No delivery and no ordering ahead. Like I said, it's weird but the experience is worth it. The rigmarole can get old if you don't appreciate the hoops but luckily the pizza is worth it. Enjoy! read more

Pretty much hands down by far the best pizza EVER. I try to get there when I get the chance it is Worth checking out. They had a place out in zelienople but it closed (rent,water) who knows but that was sad to see that one go. read more

Had to try this. Well school cafeteria is what comes to mind. The cheese is imitation at best. It's not smooth or stringy. The staff couldn't be more friendly and professional. Hats off to you guys. Suggestion. Charge an extra fifty cents a slice and use real cheese. read more

Police Station Pizza has always been my favorite growing up. The pizza is borderline deep dish and delicious, but the experience is what makes it truly unique. Pizza here is exclusively takeout, so upon walking in the front door you are asked how much you want. Don't bother telling them anything besides how much because that's all they need to know at this point. They will ask what toppings when they need to know. The guys always remember who ordered what and how many. I don't ever recall seeing a calculator or notepad, so these guys seem to be going exclusively by memory. My memory tells me they just kept money in a cigar box, but I may be romanticizing that part. They are definitely still watching Pens games on the same TV on which they probably watched Lemieux's first game in 1984. The TV is in an important spot; facing the guys making the pizza, so don't get your hopes up about hanging out and watching too much. Get the extra cheese unmelted. It'll be glorious when you get home. read more

Pizza House or "Police Station Pizza" is always great. Cheap prices, great crust and toppings are great (Pepperoni is really good) never really had any problem here. Can get really busy, don't bother calling, just go down order and wait. Wait is usually short anyways. Square pizza, sauce then cold toppings go on. By the time you get home it's all melted together perfect. Have only been to the Ambridge location so can't comment on other stores. This and Franks are two of the best places around to get some great pizza! read more

Always nice to go back home when you know all and the boys will be there and never disappoint enjoying the best pizza that even the virus you still know you can count and enjoy the best thank you Al and the staff from Ollie read more

Just happened to grab a pie while getting some car repairs nearby. Brought home the "pizza kit" and had an amazing lunch / dinner! Generous portion and amazing sauce and toppings. Great secret but not for long. Highly recommend vs any chain... if your heading north on 65; stop in and you won't be disappointed. read more

Simply a a Beaver County institution. I barely consider it pizza. It is it's on entity entirely. It's hard to describe but it's amazing. The staff and the ordering process is 100% Ambridge. If you are in the area I can recommend enough that you stop by and grab a slice. read more

Excellent pizza every time! So if you're new to this you'll want to walk in and wait to the left. You will be asked how many slices you would like (you can get however many you like). You can now move away from the entrance but I'd suggest trying to stay in one place if it's crowded so that they have an easier time keeping track of people. When your order is about to be finished (usually in about 5-10 minutes) they will ask what toppings. If you get extra cheese ask for unmelted, but be cautioned this is the most dense cheese pizza ever so don't plan on being able to eat the amount of slices you usually would. Their sausage is great - it's the crumbly kind! This pizza is simple, square, crunchy, and delicious! You can easily feed 4 adults here for $20 read more

Stopped here after golf with a few friends to try it for the first time. Service was great and the prices were incredible. I had three slices and two drinks for just under $6. I had one pep and two plain and it was as advertised - sauce, crust, flavor were great. I will be back! read more

Best pizza in the area! Pizza is sold by the slice and made to order. Love police station pizza.

Hidden gem around the Pittsburgh area. One of the best pizza spots around. Take out is the name of the game here, and owners have system down pat. read more

This place is unique. I've had other pizza that was made like this and it's good but this place is better. The crust is light and fluffy but crunchy and delicious. The sauce is slightly chunky but not really, not too heavy. The cheese is where it stands alone, it's put on after the baking process along with your toppings. Mmmmm. read more

Best Sicilian style pizza around! Grew up in NY and went to school near the city. I have had pizza from all the best places on Long Island. If you like Sicilian style, you will love this place. Thick but light crust with just the right balance of crunchy and chewy. Great sauce and the cheese has wonderful flavor. I have had it topped with pepperoni, banana peppers, and sausage. All were great. Get to know the ordering process or you might be in for a tough time, but do yourself a favor and go! read more

It's the day before Thanksgiving and my family decided on pizza for dinner. What was my recommendation? Police Station Pizza, without question! This place offers superb takeout pizza in a modest, no-frills storefront. The service is basic at best but the pizza is absolutely to die for. Hands-down the best pizza in the area! read more

Pizza House - Pizza Near Me - Ambridge, Pennsylvania

Best square pizza in the county if not the state. Always awkward interactions at the counter but it adds to the experience.

the best pizza place in the county!!!!!!! in and out with fresh pizza in kess then 5 minutes!!!

Like I've stated in many reviews before. My wife and I are pizza snobs. We try pizza all over the place and have done so for nearly 25 years. This has been a long time favorite of mine. Nothing about this pizza is normal. From the way you order to the pizza itself. The crust is thick and crispy, excellent cheese and sauce. We always get pepperoni. My mouth is watering just think of this stuff. read more

Beaver County pizza at it's best. There's really no arguing this is the best pizza in its class.

Well, what can I say bad about the PIZZA HOUSE pizza?? Absolutely Nothing!! First, it's known by it's nickname - "Police Station Pizza", because it is situated by what used to be the police station in Ambridge. The pizza is carry-out only and is purchased by the slice or tray. It is sicilian style, square crust pizza. The crust has a crisp, almost bread-like texture that has great flavor. Toppings are generous and are put on the piping hot pizza when you order. If you want extra cheese, specify "melted" or "unmelted" when you place your order. Purists go for "unmelted", but I tend to like my cheese a little gooey-er than most. The pepperoni is by far, the best I've ever had on ANY pizza. To sum it all up - it's definitely THE best Pizza in Ambridge and in Beaver County!! read more

I completely understand hometown/area connections to food. If someone loves "Police Station Pizza", then wonderful. Perhaps my opinion is skewed because I'm not an Ambridge native; but this had to be one of the biggest disappointments in pizza that I've experienced. The online reviews from across this great nation of ours proclaiming the glory that is Pizza House were met with great "ugh...we paid *how* much for taste this average again??" This was so disappointing that I've been rendered unable to incorporate a single cat-lingo reference into this review. The very best pizza in the world is STILL -- and always will be -- well, whatever your opinion tells you it is. : ) meow 'n such. read more

Best pizza you'll ever have. I just want to make sweet love to it! Amazing pepperoni, great service, short waiting time. Delicious! In conclusion, I cannot recommend this fine cuisine enough, and I give it 500/5 stars! Please eat here! read more

Best pizza in the beaver county area ... I drove from Washington DC and knew my trip would not be complete unless I stopped and got me some squares. read more

What more can you say an Ambridge tradition. Been eating this pizza for as long as I can remember. Carry out only. Always packed but fast service you holler out your order when you walk in and somehow the counter guy remembers it and the order in which it was placed the price pay and your on your way no paper involved. The old police station next door (a large white brick structure) is office building now and a movie location for a Net Flix TV series sometimes it looks like you traveled back in time. And it reminds you why Original Pizza House got the nickname of Police Station Pizza. read more

Love this pizza! Extra cheese unmelted! Just ask for it and you can't go wrong. Ambridge, PA is blessed with two of the best pizza shops in the country (Frank's Pizza and Pizza House AKA Police Station Pizza). I know that's a bold statement, but anyone that's been to both can not doubt agree with my statement. read more
