Sit down visit #2. The place was jumping, dining room almost full. Reminder: BYOB Starters: Garlic knots - I will never deny myself these pieces of heaven. We also had the zucchini, which was also quite good. Dinners: I had the chicken piccata and it was really good - enough to feed two people, easily. Hubs had the tuna noodle casserole, which he declared wonderful and could not finish. Friends ordered the antipasto to share and were super happy - it looked great. They also had the Italian hoagie - the bread had a lovely crunch on the outside and a soft inside. We didn't ask if they bake their own bread, but speculated that they did... Now for the star of the evening: Calzone. I mean CALZONE! It was big; a beautiful work of edible art. Easily enough for three people. Golden brown and Friends confirmed: as beautiful on the inside as it was on the outside! We left with bags of future lunches. Service was attentive, quick and engaging. It was a perfect end to a perfect weekend. Thanks Shelly Pie! read more

The pizza looked and smelled delicious but as soon as we picked it up to take a bite nothing but grease was dripping and there was hair on the pizza. Then the Philly cheesesteak was soggy and it didn't taste good at all. read more

Nice thick Pizza with huge crust. Service is usually spot on. The only small complaint is the cheese slides off.

Perogie Lasagna is wonderful! Large portion, very filling with tons of butter. If you are crazy about pirogies like me, yet somehow can never figure out how to spell the word correctly, you will love this. By the way, who cares how to spell it Oh cannot finish the portion because it's too big. Served with side of sour cream and also served with onions on top. I needed to add a little salt but was in heaven with this comfort food!!! Thank u team Shellie. By the way, the place is nice and simple. I love the tribute on the wall as u walk in - dedicating the former VFW location to all who served (printed on a poster with the flag as background). You cannot miss this when u walk in Next time I'm taking my own bottle of wine. The byob policy is right in the menu - see pic attached. read more

Shelly Pie - New American Near Me - Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania

This place is outstanding !!!!!!! Our new favorite place ! Best pizza ANYWHERE and we've been trying their dinners and apps lately........The Fettucine Alfredo with chicken is delicious and the Eggplant Parm is outstanding........Fried Zucchini was great........this place is just great.......we're telling everyone ! read more

If I could give no stars I would. Middle of our pizza was raw. The red sauce on my ravioli was burnt.

Pizza was outstanding. Great service also. Good for larger groups who want to share

So I grew up as you can say cutting my pizza teeth on Vincent's in Forest Hills. Being so fortunate was both a blessing and a curse as no pizza can live up to the lofty standards set by the Vinnie Pie Master and Creator himself. As I grew older I learned to quite frankly not like pizza because none of it ever was as good as a Vinnie Pie. As I moved through life and my 20s and now into my 30s I have gotten to a point where I can tolerate most pizza and even kind of like Chicago staples like Geno's East but still none can hold a pie cutter to Vincent's. As the issues at Vincent's came about and closure it was a sad day in my life and I can say many other Vincent Pizza Park fans. Then magically Shelly Pie signs appeared at the old VFW in Turtle Creek and after opening we decided to try it ... HOLY SMOKES did they knock it out of the park here. Its like they took took a Vinnie Pie, fine tuned the process, and came out with WHAM the best pizza ever! Crisper crust, high quality ingredients, clean experience and you have the finest pizza in the land. Even after Vincent's has reopened I find myself dialing the Shelly Pie number instead. While my heart will always belong to Vincent's, Shelly Pie has my taste buds. read more

It's a very good pizza, fresh-tasting sauce and dough that works really nicely to mop up the grease (or as they call it in the preface to the menu, "gravy"). Might've liked the crust a bit crunchier, but it was still very fulfillingly yeasty. Surprisingly busy even at 3pm on a weekday, it seems to really be a local hangout (great accent-spotting), in a peculiar yet somehow charming location for an urbanite like me. So, why not 5 stars? For all the hype surrounding this place, and the years of lore about Vinnie Pie, I was expecting the pizza to be a transformational sublime experience that would change my perception of what a pizza is. It was a good pizza, but it wasn't life-changing. read more

On May 27th I placed an order with Grubhub and the incompetent driver could not find the restaurant so he cancelled my order at the last minute. I was at work and couldn't go get it. I spoke with someone at Grubhub, who was no help at all. I called Shelly Pie a few times and spoke with Ms.Lisa who was very helpful. They were about to close and she offered to drop my pizza off to me on her way home. She went above and beyond to make sure my family would have dinner that night and it meant the world to me. She is a shining example of the type of people that work there and one of the reasons that I continue to give Shelly Pie my business. Not only is the food delicious, but the people who work there are helpful and caring. If you haven't been there before, this place is a must try! read more

Went there b/c Vincents was closed and was glad I did! The pizza was spot on with a lot of toppings and the crust was delicious! I will be back! I'm glad Vincents was closed or I would not have found this place. read more

Visited here a few weeks ago and let me say it was definitely worth the road trip. The food was great and the service even better. It did get pretty packed but that only made the place more exciting. The portions were huge, everything was hot and looked even tastier. read more

Order here at your own risk. We have tried to give them multiple chances, but they are completely unable to get any order even remotely correct. They either do not add multiple items, or they just don't read the order. If you tell them no croutons, they add croutons. If you tell them no gravy on the potatoes, they add potatoes. I would mention the missing items but the list is far too long to waste anymore time. Avoid this place. Just terrible. read more

My first time experience was awesome! Got a Shelly pie with pepperoni and the hot banana peppers. The food was excellent-and I'm not a huge pizza fan but this is how I like it so I had THREE pieces!!! I was totally stuffed so ate the banana peppers the next day. The staff was wonderful-I couldn't see the place and just have passed it up a few times - I called and the girl stayed on the phone with me until I saw it. Can't wait to get their food again!!!! read more

Stopped to get a Shelly Pie for the game. spent $30 something and I got home to see my pie is burnt on the top and the bottom. Usually the pizza is out of this world. Next time I will look at the pie before I leave. That's my suggestion. The pizza chef needs to pay more attention!! read more

I love Shelly Pie! It is always a special treat. Tonight I got home to find an order on my porch - an order I did not make. I called the restaurant and asked tell them it was delivered by mistake. The woman on the line said that they were already aware of the mistake and to enjoy dinner on them! Everything was wonderful - pizza, fish shandwich, fries! They've always had my business and it will continue to have it! Great food, nice people. read more

Outstanding Steak Hoagie! The BEST! Get double meat and cheese - we didn't opt for lettuce or tomato and this sub is a "go-to" for us. Best we've tasted. read more

Travelling often from Philly to Cleveland, we are THRILLED to find this gem in Turtle Creek! The food, the owners, and staff at Shelly Pie are excellent! The prices are very reasonable.... especially when their small pizza is the size of the LARGE pizza we order in Philly! The freshness of the food (freshly made Ranch dressing, made with buttermilk), and the creative combinations of their specials make it a gastro-delicious experience! Can't wait for the next trip! read more

Excellent food , greens and beans are a must to try! Pizzas are huge and generously decorated, staff is friendly and very efficient, great place to try I believe you will be impressed and come back for more! read more

The pizza is always good . The reason for the low rating ordered a salad the container of dressing that came was just over 1/2 full had asked for more dressing then get the same in the small plastic container ,then when bill came find out a $2.00 charge for the extra 1/2 container of dressing really?? wow !! Don't ask for more dressing save yourself $2.00 folks read more

Used DD of the app. everything was on the side. I've been using them for pizza places they don't do anything so it left there like it came.. it looked like I got just a cheese pizza with a bunch of mushrooms sticking to one corner besides that. I lift up a slice trying to make something out of nothing. The cheese slid off the dough wasn't cooked. It's a pound of burnt dough not cooked fully in between it literally flop down everything fell off dough dust all over the place. Had high expectations. read more

Had a great experience as usual. Had lunch with my old buddy Bob of over 20 years and his lovely wife, Mary. Great service from the lovely and talented Kiara, (sp?) and her trainee who did just great! We will be back! Thank you read more

TREATED TERRIBLY I came in this evening to pick up my pizza and was treated terribly by An employee Lisa who stated that she was the manager. When I called I was told my pizza would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived in 40 and was Told my hoagie was done but they were still waiting on my pizza. I patiently waited for over 30 minutes and then nicely asked when my pizza would be ready, explaining that it had been over an hour and my sandwich was going to be cold. The manager then grabbed another pizza off the rack and tossed it at me stating "here's your pizza". At this point I made a comment about her poor attitude. She then began to berate me, yelling from behind the counter, stating you should be happy I gave you someone else's pizza. I asked for the manager which she stated she was and then told me to go ahead and file a complaint with the owner my name is Lisa. I was mortified and would never speak to someone this way let alone a customer . Obviously there was an issue as many people were waiting and she had yelled at others as well. However, It is not the customers fault and if anything she should have been apologetic and accommodating. I was not angry when I asked, but wanted to make sure my pizza had not been skipped over. The younger girl working at the counter was very polite. I really enjoy your pizza but unfortunately you have lost my business. read more

I was very disappointed in the pizza after reading such glowing reviews. The crust was really thick on the one side of the pie, and when I bit into it I found that the dough was still raw in the middle! Yuck!! read more

Great pizza, cold beer and staff was a pleasure. Overall, really good experience and will eat there again if in the area.

I ordered dinner for 2 last night. Worst choice ever. The Chicken marsala was terrible. They must use the cheapest marsala available. I wouldn't recommend it even to my worst enemy. The chicken parmesan well that was packed on the bottom with everything else piled on yop of it. When I took the lid off all the melted cheese came off of it. So it was like eating a piece of fried chicken. We tried to scrape the cheese off the lid but the paper came off with it. This was such a disappointment. Never again will I eat anything from there. read more

Pizza is good but pricy for pizza. Staff is always nice when you eat in. Worth trying if you never had it before

Went here for the first time last week. WOW!!!! Drop everything and go here. Great menu, friendly service, casual ambiance. Nice place to have a family event or a nice lunch or dinner with friends. Menu is extensive. BYOB policy. Event room perfect for small receptions. Open 7 days, lunch and dinner. Pizza, entrees, sandwiches, etc. Soup to nuts!! read more

Just picked up a large pizza with Pepperoni and onion. One of the worst pies I have ever had. 1/3 of the slices with no onion. 3 slices with just sauce and no cheese. Overall way too much sauce. When I got home and tried to take a slice out of box the dough was actually sticking to the box. The dough was too thin in the middle of the pie. Need I say more. I called the restaurant and asked if there was a new pizza maker and they said YES. Just a disgrace for a restaurant to serve this product. Go there at your own risk. If you want to waste $25 for a lousy pizza then Shelly's pie is for you. Forget about the positive reviews. They should train their pizza makers to produce a better product. BEWARE read more

Sorry Pittsburgh, your pizza is not good in general and Shelly Pie is part of that group. I know you will probably disagree or even dislike me for saying that, particularly if you've grown up around here. If you have something bad for long enough you'll eventually think it's good (think Stockholm syndrome). But back to Shelly Pie...a few things, in order from worst to less worse: 1) It is wrapped in brown paper instead of being served in a box (you know, like normal people would do). I know. Your family (shelly pie) has probably done this for years and I'm sure you have a million reasons why it's superior. But. It's not. In fact, it's one of the worst ideas ever. Not expecting this, I picked up this oddity of a pie wearing a brand new, white North face jacket. Upon arriving home I was surprised to find 3 nice splotches of pizza grease about 5" in diameter on my clothes; 2 on my jacket, 1 on my jeans. The only reason I didnt give 1 star is because I was able to get the stains out, thank god. 2) If you order a topping, expect to get a pound or more of it on your pie. Hey, I hate when pizza makers are stingy with the toppings; that sucks. But just to eat a slice with what I would consider a normal amount of toppings, I (no lie) had to remove 75% of the amount of pepperoni that was on it. You can imagine how greasy this made the pie, probably contributing to issue #1 above, and rapidly increasing the onset of my future heart attack. 3) The cheese was nice & thick (normally a positive), but was tasteless and slid off the slices easily. I had to recook it at home just to get it to stay on. 4) Crust. My biggest gripe with Pittsburgh pizza is the crust. I just don't like it; the flavor, the fluffiness, etc. I'm a NY style girl; some Chicago deep dish as well. Wish it was better, but not sure I would ever order this again. read more

Best pizza in town, the toppings are plentiful, the pies are huge, you get a lot for your money, and the staff are always nice and professional. Would rather go out of my way to go here than the closer pizza shops by my house. Looking forward to seeing the dining room reopen again so I can enjoy a pizza straight out of the oven again. read more

Walked in to work at the hospital and there was THE PIE. Never had it. Lemme tell you it was one of the best leftover pizza I've ever had. Can't imagine how it is fresh. Yummy read more

Great food, very nice clean restaurant in an old VFW building. Pizza is huge! Depending on how much you like pepperoni, you might want to ask them to go a little lightly because they really pile it on. The dough, sauce and cheese were delicious. We also had cheese balls, which were very tasty, French fries and wedding soup, and everything was so good. Prices were very reasonable too. I highly recommend stopping in for dinner. read more

Ordered two pies for a work party my coworkers couldn't stop talking about and eating these pies ALWAYS excellent and very nice people at Shelly Pie read more

This pizza creation is quintessential Pittsburgh. A perfect representation of the creativity from the hard working blue collar east coasters. If you've never eaten at Shelly pie or Vincent's, you're doing yourself a great injustice by going else where in my humble opinion of both establishments. Now with that being said, you will find the odd yinzer, who will tell you to avoid this pizza . . . I got into that argument at a cousins house just a few weekends ago. He said it was too greasy and "soupy" hard to eat Etc Etc... And my response was simple. If you can have enough self control to let the pizza cool down for about 5 min or so, it gets much easier to dish out and cut.. I know that is an incredibly hard thing to do, because the sight of one in front of you is just too exciting, and you wanna dive right in. But just like with any good pizza, you will most likely end up with a little grease or cheese drippings on you , so maybe wear an old T-shirt or something, no one cares its very casual and laid back I love Shelly pie. I live over an hour away, but will make the trek into turtle creek again in the very near future for my Pittsburgh classic . Gotta wash it "Dahn" with some turners iced tea too! Perfect!!! read more

This pizza is delicious! The crust is thick and soft and a couple slices will fill you up. Very greasy, but still has the taste of handmade ingredients. It's pricey but a large will definitely feed about 6 people so certainly worth it! If you're driving here there is parking around back but it's easy to miss in the dark so just be sure to look carefully, they are eat in and carry out only. Enjoy!! read more

So the family and I were in the car trying to figure out where to eat and my wife says Let's try Shelly Pie. So we made our way there. I had heard a lot about this once VFW hall turned Pizza restaurant so we were excited to see what all the hype was about. Upon arriving the parking lot confused me as you have to enter of the street in the rear. As we walked in I was pleasant surprised as the space is open and very modern compared to the building's exterior. I must say that this placed reminded me of Gateway Grill and Rivertowne Pour House in Monroeville. It was pretty loud too. They do have several flat screen TVs to catch a game though. Once inside we seated ourselves and were greeted by Patty. She was very funny as we told her it was our first time there. A couple minutes later our waitress Sara C came and took our drink orders. For our appetizer we went with the fried Zucchini Planks. You get six to an order and they come with either ranch dressing or marinara sauce. They were very, very good. For our entrees my wife and I both went with ShellZones (Shelly's version of the calzone) For topping my wife got pepperoni, cappicola ham, banana peppers and mushrooms and I got steak, bacon and mushrooms. Our daughter got the 1/2 pound angus burger with American cheese, grilled onions, bacon, lettuce and tomato with a side of fries. Looking at other meals being served while we were waited for ours I must say that their portions are pretty huge for the price. Our daughters burger arrived first so she dug in. I did try a couple of her fries and I must say they were very good. A few minutes later our calzones came, but mine was wrong. Mine came filled with steak, mushrooms and banana peppers instead of being filled with what I had ordered. I had our waitress take it back and have a corrected calzone made. Not to mention they gave me my same marinara sauce that came with the first calzone and by then it was ice cold so I had to flag the waitress down to bring me fresh and hot marinara sauce. By the time my corrected calzone and hot marinara sauce came my wife and daughter were done and pretty much ready to go so I only ate a couple of small pieces and had the rest wrapped to go. What I did taste was delicious though. It wasn't our waitresses fault as she took down the right calzone toppings as it was notated correctly on our check when we paid. She did take the drinks off our bill which was better than nothing.... read more

Despite the fact that this isn't my favorite style of pizza I'm giving it 5 Stars. It deserves more. Let me also be clear that I've never met Shelly and this is in no way a reflection of the woman. But, oh that pie... This is the kind of pie you come across late at night and can't believe she's from your town. That's probably because she's not the perfect beauty that everyone shares on their Facebook page. There is nothing about her that conforms with society's normal conventions of beauty. But she is gorgeous, and irresistible. You get a glance of this voluptuous goddess and catch one whiff of her sweet/savory scent and are instantly in love. Or lust? I never can tell. You take her home and there's just so much to her that you wonder how you can handle it. There's no way you can just dig in without making a huge gooey mess. The discipline to go get a fork and knife and a plate are necessary, but you can't wait... You cannot help but dive right in. And it's everything you've imagined that it could be. It's so damn messy, but the flavor dripping down your chin is heaven and you no longer have the ability to care about how dirty you get. After finishing that first piece, you shouldn't go back for more. But you do, because you can't help yourself--- and you keep going back until you physically are unable to take another bite. Now, here's the great thing: your Shelly Pie be there tomorrow! Oh, you won't start off the day with a slice. No, you're too good for that. You'll decide to be the good little scout and choose something a little more "nutritious." Something that you won't be ashamed to be seen with if your family drops in unexpectedly. But she's still there, and all day you can't stop thinking about her. So later that night, when you can't control yourself any longer, you call to her and she's instantly there for you: in all her heavy, tasty, thick, luscious decadence. Within minutes, she's hot and steamy, you light headed and hungry, and it begins all over again. Just like the night before when you brought her home; you can't get enough, you go back for more and more until you're so ecstatic and fulfilled that you pass out in a love-drunk haze thinking of nothing but Shelly Pie. ************************************************** Post-Script: Life is beautiful. Life is sweet. But the laws of physics say that what goes up, must come down and likewise the calendar says that work week eventually comes back around. You valiantly go about your business with only limited daydreaming of your crazy weekend. The clock spins 'round, it's dark and you've done your time. So you get out the door, it's late Monday night, and then it hits you in the face like Sonny Liston wearing brass knuckles: Shelly Pie closes at 10 PM! You'll be going home alone. But that's ok. Because if you had Shelly Pie every day, you'd be dead within a year. read more

Can't say enough about how great the food is here. The best pizza in Pittsburgh. If you were a fan of the now defunct Vincent's pizza, grieve no more. Shelly is making pies that are even better. The dough is AMAZING. I started with stuffed banana peppers and garlic knots. This would have be enough! Very big portions. I also has a medium pizza - I planed on leftovers. Out standing. I got an all vegetable pie. Everything was great. There is also a full - and I mean full - menu, but make sure you try the pizza! read more

This has truly become one of my favorite places to eat. The atmosphere is great: lots of TVs, very well lit, awesome pictures of Pittsburgh from back in the day, great lighting, and best of all, the staff is very friendly and provides great service! But absolutely the best thing about this place is the food! The quality is outstanding and you get so much with each portion ordered. You can tell the owners of this place are truly Italian. I have been here several times & everything I have ordered has been absolutely delicious! The pizzas are huge & packed with toppings. The stromboli -- wow -- LOL big and packed with goodness! Most likely you will have leftovers to take home with you. Oh, and you have to try the wedding soup -- mmmm, so delicious! One thing to note, they do not sell alcohol. You can BYOB if you would like. I have to be honest, I like this aspect because it adds to be family atmosphere. Give "Shelly Pie" a try! read more
