I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant bringing 8 out of town guests from across the country. The food was outstanding and the wait staff is very accommodating. Alex made a special effort to make sure our time there was enjoyable. Good authentic Italian cuisine at a very reasonable price. | 12
|
Suffice it to say, this is not real Italian food and it's below average and overpriced when it comes to American-Italian food. The staff was excellent though and you will have great service and conversation. Thanks but probably won't be back. | 01

Very nice classic Pittsburgh neighborhood Italian. Best choice for hearty, simple popular Italian dishes I took my parents there for dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. My mom loved her chicken parm. My clam sauce with whole wheat pasta was absolutely perfectly al-dente. Salad is fresh with a very nice balsamic vinagrette. Wedding soup was a bit salty, but otherwise perfectly fit my conception of what wedding soup should be. Dad had the tortilla soup (I know; odd choice) and he liked it quite a bit. Standout item was the beans & greens which were very fresh. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is a bit dated and very Pittsburgh, but if you are looking for decent American Italian at good prices with good service, highly recommend. | 12

Crappy, boring, limpid. \n\nThe pastrami tasted bland, the bread was borderline stale and uninteresting, and the whole sandwich was a little wet and lukewarm. Got a Penn Pilsener from the bar, and it had the unmistakable taste of dirty lines - a little sour tang of lactic bacteria. \n\nHow is this place \""famous\""? Is it really? Can anyone please just brine some brisket and hand-slice it? | 01
|
If you're famous, why is there never anyone in your restaurant? Seriously, I live right around the corner, and I've never seen more than one customer in there at a time, and it's completely empty about 3/4 of the time I walk or drive by. As one other reviewer rightly pointed out, Sammy's seems to be famous for claiming to be famous.\n\n(Note: this is for a visit about ten months earlier - could've sworn I'd already written one.) I'd been walking/driving past Sammy's for several months after moving into the neighborhood when I decided to finally hoof it over and try one of their \""famous\"" corned beef sandwiches. The sandwich itself was, well, mediocre at best. There was a decent amount of meat, but it was pretty average. The other ingredients were also...average - certainly nothing that would generate \""fame\"" because of its flavor. \n\nService was the usual gruff, put-upon treatment I've come to expect from small businesses in da 'Burgh. Prices were okay, but no great bargain. I haven't been back.\n\nThree stars for the sammich, 1.5 for the rest. | 01

One of my favorite Thai places, maybe ever. Fresh, sweet, spicy and all around good. Not super heavy or cloying sweet. Friendly service and all at a fair price. \n\nI hate hearing my neighbors, though. | 12

well i finally took the advice of fellow yelpers and gave Thai Cuisine a shot last weekend. I showed up at 930 on Friday night and the place was packed. I had to wait 15 minutes for a table. I always feel waiting for a table is more of a positive than a negative as it usually means good things are to come. I started out with the special shrimp fried in wontons. It was unmemorable and I would of like to have seen bigger shrimp for this 6.95 appetizer. I ordered the vegetable tom yum soup. This was outstanding. The vegetables were large and fresh and the spice was perfect. I asked for medium and actually got medium. I went with the standard pineapple curry as i always do the first time at a thai place. Every bite was enjoyable and again the medium spice was perfect. Like so often at thai restaurants i am always sad when i get to the bottom of the bowl. Looking forward to my next visit. (4.5 stars) | 12

First visit to Thai Cuisine (interesting name, no?) and first visit to Pittsburgh, so that should set up this review nicely. Context is, of course, that I expected very little from this town, yet I've been completely surprised. #1 - faux meat on a menu is a huge plus for me, I just love it, and I don't care to hear comments like \""if you are a vegetarian, why would you eat something that is meant to taste and look like meat?\"" Shut up. I just like it. #2 - the prices are so cheap. I only looked at the vegetarian menu where every entree is about $10 for dinner, and while that's no steal nor does it compare to Thai food prices in Thailand, it's decent. #3 - cutest. waitress. ever. AND she mentioned that \""all of my cool friends have read that book\"" which, by default, makes me a cool kid? Hmmm. Maybe. Then again, maybe not. | 12
|
Best Thai food in town, for sure. Screw all those other places, they're inferior and probably cost way more.\n\nThe green curry is my favorite thing, but the yellow curry is pretty good. There are vegetarian options (although I usually go for the meat), and one time they had a salmon tom kha gai soup special, which I wasn't sure was a good idea, but it was actually a terrific idea.\n\nOne of the few places I can take any or all of my family or in-laws and be sure that everyone will enjoy themself.\n\nThe name kind of lends itself to semi-comedic confusion, though:\n\""Where do you want to go for dinner?\""\n\""How about Thai Cuisine?\""\n\""Thai sounds great. Where do you want to go?\""\n\""Um... Thai Cuisine?\""\n(Wash, rinse, repeat...) | 12
|
Delicious-- try the spicy basil noodles. Really relaxed atmosphere, nice low lighting, friendly staff. Your water glass will never get more than a third empty! \n\nOh, sometimes I really miss Pittsburgh. | 12
|
What's not to love about Thai Cuisine? Relaxed and spacious atmosphere. Friendly hosts who will humor you if you try to speak Thai to them, and of course great Thai food. \n\nThey were even kind enough to offer me a generous handful of Kaffir lime leaves when I wanted to try my own hand at some Thai cookin! | 12
|
Pretty good Thai, though slightly overrated. Hit and miss, with the curries more solid than anything else I've tried. Enormous portions.\n\nAmbience is very open and casual but somehow still pretty \""nice\"". Seating is never an issue.\n\nIt's good to have more BYOB options. Go here with some friends casually, bring a growler or a couple of bombers, have a good relaxed time. Overall, I'm a fan, but wish my friends would want to go here less often. | 12

When I lived in Pittsburgh, I was always trying to find the best Thai restaurant. I failed miserably. So when I visited for July 4th, I had a friend take me to her favorite place. This was it! and I was grateful!\n\nI went with about 8 people and we BYOB'ed which was a fantastic idea. Some semi-sweet white wine went well with the flavorful light Thai food. Most of the table had the curries(I thought the red was the best), but I went with the eggplant with the vegetarian duck. Simply delicious! Highly highly recommend it. The spicy basil sauce was the highlight. My partner had one of the chef specials, which was by far the most interesting, but maybe not the tastiest. \n\nOverall, an affordable, low-fuss, great place to eat. There also seemed to be a steady crowd there when we got there and left. It looks like a popular spot. For good reason! | 12
|
Thai Cuisine is one of the best Thai places I've been to in the States - finding it in Pittsburgh was a real surprise. The food here is outstanding, and the service is comparable to what I'd expect in a $50/person restaurant, and this place is definitely not $30/plate. With appetizers, Thai iced tea, and two entrees, my girlfriend and I paid about $30.\n\nI highly recommend the cold chicken and sprout salad. Wish I could remember the name of it, because it's heavenly. (...Which probably assumes that heaven looks like Thailand. ...Which would be a nice place to spend eternity.) Thai iced tea is really good, too. | 12
|
Like other reviewers have said, this place is very basic but the service is fast and friendly and the food was amazing. The vegetarian Tom Yum soup was perfect! We ordered the special of the day - a fried trout dish which was incredible. The price was very reasonable too. The six year old in our party (who doesn't like spicy food) loved the fried dumpling which was recommended by our server and one of the house specialties - three flavored chicken. We ordered the banana springroll for desert - also tasty. Don't expect a fancy place but if you want really good and fast thai food, this is the place to go in Pittsburgh. | 12
|
I'm not a Thai food expert, but I really really enjoy their food. The 3 spice duck is great, Pad Thai is fantastic, as well as almost all the appetizers. The servers are so nice and accommodating. The decor could use updating. Closed on Tuesdays, which somehow is always the day I'm craving it. | 12
|
i was very excited to try this place. thai is one of my favorite cuisines ever!!! but i was sorrily disappointed. we started with spring rolls, through the rice wrapper i could see that the lettuce was browning, a sure sign that the rolls were not made to order. the pad thai was dry and tasteless. my friends curry and potatoes tasted like water with a touch of curry powder. i hate giving poor reviews but nothing that i ate at thai cuisine was yummy. | 01
|
After moving from SF to Denver about 1.5 years ago, I've missed good Thai food. Luckily, I've found myself in Pittsburgh for a week for work. I found Thai Cuisine on Yelp and loved it! I took a short drive from my hotel, near CMU campus, across a bridge into a very authentic little Pittsburgh neighborhood. As soon as I saw their special, Winter Curry, (Green Curry that includes Kabocha Squash, Zucchini, Potatoes, Carrots, Chicken), I was thrilled. And, after tasting this scrumptiousness, I was hooked for life! I gave 4 stars and not 5 only due to it not being an amazing environment...but for food only, definitely a 5 star!\nHaven't left Pitt yet but already excited for a return trip for more yummy Thai! | 12
|
Very solid Thai place. I have the fried spring rolls, which was good (crispy flaky crust, but the filling wasn't anything to write about), the vegetarian tom yum soup (pretty good, but honestly I've had better tasting broth), and the winter curry. The curry was interesting, but the kabocha squash (which i'm a fan of) didn't seem to fit in right with the curry. The curry itself was good and the dish was a good effort. My gf had the vegetarian pad thai. She thought it was good, but a little too soupy (too much fluid).\n\nAlso, they offer most things spiciness from a scale of 1 to 10. They said 5 is good, but I tasted almost no spice. I'd go for a 10 next time.\n\nFrom what I read this places is among the best in Pitt, and I can see how this might be true. Next time I'm in Pitt, I'll definitely consider coming back. | 12
|
Took a friend to chow down at this thai restaurant. \n\nPROS: Have had the pad thai, wide noodles w/ black bean sauce, and mango curry here. All were good. The front desk was very welcoming. Decent prices ($10- 12/dish). They also have a daily specials menu, at least for dinner. \n\nCONS: Crab rangoon was overfried- wouldn't recommend this appetizer. Side street parking. \n\nOverall, will be back to check out the rest of the menu. | 12
|
DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.\n\nA hidden gem, this place is phenomenal - best Thai food I've ever had. You need to go here. | 12
|
I agree 100% on Maggie G's review. Over priced, bad food, and Pittsburgh DOESN'T know GOOD Thai food.. Plus $40 bucks on Take out...seriously? Ill pass I've had better Thai for less. \n\nYellow Curry (Ive added a picture of exactly how watery the curry truly is ) \n(x2) Spring Rolls (2 per order)\nDumplings (5 per order) \nWontons (4/5 per order)\n_____________\n\n40 BUCKS\n\nIll stick to Bangkok Balcony. No more trying out different Thai places in the city. I rather not waste my money on watered down curries and bland dishes which seems to be the norm for the Pittsburgh Thai scene. | 01
|
Our favorite place in Pittsburgh for Thai food! Service is excellent!!! We're kind of regulars now and we always get lucky to be served by this white guy who is awesome and polite. Their food is a little expensive but its so good. Try their tum yum veggie soup!!!! My favorite! | 12
|
I didn't quite realize how much I love Thai Cuisine until they closed for a few months to remodel. Their absence was deeply felt. Now that they are back in action, the restaurant is better than ever! It is now fully handicapped accessible, with a bright clean new dining room and multiple bathroom stalls. I was worried that the prices may increase due to the remodel, but no, they are the same. The food, also same, if not improved. The Tom Kha soup is as awesome as can be and our entrees were perfectly delicious. They still feature a separate vegetarian menu to make ordering easy. Most anything on the vegetarian menu is or can be vegan (just ask about egg - veg items do not contain fish sauce or shrimp paste). And the service has always been excellent. | 12
|
My wife and I have been coming to Thai Cuisine for many years now even though it's almost a 2.5 hours drive from our house (round trip). We both love Thai food and Thai Cuisine is still the best we've ever had (2nd best so far is in Virginia Beach, VA).\n\nTheir Pad See Ew, Three Flavor Chicken, and Thai Spring Rolls are our regular favorites. We also love having their Mango Sticky Rice for desert when it is in season. | 12
|
blandest thai food in pittsburgh I think. You could really just walk down a few blocks and spend less for better food. I think the only people that like the food are vegatarians since they have fake meats. Their sauces literally are all the same, their curries are bad, and everything is way more expensive than it should be. Their new facade is ugly as can be too. It looks like someone used some old floor tile from a kitchen and used it as brick for the front of the building. Looked way better before.\nD- | 01
|
Pretty good and decently priced for a Thai place. I was sick when I went there (the ginger tea helped me quite a bit). The wait staff was very friendly and came over to ask if we needed anything on a regular basis even though it was close to 10pm.\n\nSpicy noodles were great. We also ordered the lychee curry, which I thought was ok, but nothing too spectacular. All in all a good place for decent thai food in pittsburgh. | 12

They only deliver through WheelDeliver.com | 01

Oh my, Thai Cuisine, how I miss living a few blocks from you. \nThis is my favorite Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times that I have been to this place. I mean it when I say everything is delicious. I have had multiple curries, noodles, and apps, and none have disappointed.\nA few of my favorites, Chicken Dumplings (steamed or fried), Thai Spring Rolls, Pad Thai (naturally), Thai Cuisine Bird Nest, and Spicy Basil Noodles. \nService here is always on point, even when they're busy. This place is BYOB, so bring your favorite adult bevie and enjoy. While a smaller restaurant, they happily can accommodate larger parties. \nWhile they don't deliver, you can get take out, so you can bring home a yummy Thai treat.\n\nI need to go here again asap!!! :) | 12

Let me start this by saying I got on the wrong bus and ended up walking from Garfield to Bloomfield and then once in Bloomfield I proceeded to get lost behind West Penn Hospital. With that being said I was hoping that all my stumbling around in the elements would not be in vain. \n\nThe food at Thai Cuisine is more pitiful than my sense of direction. I ordered Threes Company: shrimp, scallops and calamari in a Thai chili sauce. The sauce is my favorite part of a Thai meal but Thai Cuisine came up short here. What I enjoy must about a Thai chili sauce is the complexity of flavors but this sauce in my dish was your standard thin runny brown sauce. The kind that comes with lets say beef and broccoli. I think the menu description was misleading and had I known it would be brown sauce I would have ordered something else. \n\nSome of the onions in my dish were cold which leads me to believe that the food was not cooked to order or at least not all of it. There was plenty of shrimp in the dish and the calamari tasted great, but the dish lacked flavor. The carrots and broccoli was cooked beyond recognition.\n\nFor my hubby I ordered the Thai steak , it tasted like a frozen salisbury steak dinner and salisbury steak just so happens to be one my least favorite foods. Had I not sampled his dinner this would have been a solid three star review. \n\nI see no reason to go back here. | 01
|
Awesome! We ate here several times and everything was very good. Good service, clean place, and the noodles... | 12
|
If you live in Pittsburgh, you may understand how contentious the issue of \""favorite local Thai restaurants\"" is.\n\nSo, I'll begin this review w/ my personal bias: Thai Cuisine is our go-to Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. This is in part due to proximity, but the relationship is on no small part sustained through friendly staff and consistent dining experiences.\n\nThai Cuisine is -- as my wife and I like to put it --\u00a0a rainy-Sunday-evening type place. Their curry broths are great, the apps are tasty, but not too filling, and the ambiance -- particularly after their recent renovations --\u00a0is warm and inviting.\n\nI'll admit, that if your'e in it purely from a culinary angle, there may be better options, but for the buck, you won't find many that beat Thai Cuisine. | 12
|
Excellent Thai food. The red curry, crab fried rice and Pad Thai were very good as was the seafood soup. Service was awesome! | 12
|
The coconut curries served in ceramic pots are all delicious. The red curry is probably my favorite. Also worth mentioning are the spicy basils stir fry, the spicy basil noodles, and the three flavor chicken. My family goes here for birthdays, Christmas Eve, and anytime we have guests in town. There isn't a bad thing in the menu. \n\nSpicy scale is 1-10: ask for the spice caddy with pickled jalape\u00f1os. \n\nPRO-TIP: Go for lunch and your entree comes with a salad w/ peanut dressing, and rice- all under 10 dollars. \n\nTalk to Lisa about what to order. She is a wonderful restrauntuer and a great lady. | 12

If you're looking for straight-forward good Thai food then Thai Cuisine is the place to go. No frills, BYOB, no spa-like music simple Thai. It was quite good-I can't say it was an over the moon astounding, mind blowing, life changing experience, but it was good and what you want when you go for Thai food. \n\nMy husband had the spicy duck and it had good flavor, although more of a 5 than 7 on a 1-10 spicy scale. Really good. \n\nI had spicy noodles chillin' at my standard 7 on the 1-10 scale. I can't complain. The noodles were great and the vegetables were deliciously cooked (I tend to go vegetarian). \n\nI will say the dumplings and spring rolls we had as appetizers were a notch above what we've had elsewhere in Pitt. \n\nWe will definitely go back! | 12

Top Tier Thai. Best Green Curry in the city.\n\nWe've been there twice, once for lunch, and once for dinner. Both were great, with nice service, and excellent food. \n\nThe big hit the first time was the Tofu Green Curry. Every restaurant in the city that has a \""Vegetarian Option\"" on the menu needs to go here and try this dish. It is so good, with each ingredient having its own place in the dish. Not just a mash of veggies in a thick green curry. Truly one of the best curries I've ever had. It makes a dish that has become boring in most other places truly exciting. We had it again the second time and it was exceptional again.\n\nOur second dish was a whole spicy fish, which was also very good, and a nice compliment to the curry. First time, at lunch, I think I had a shrimp prik pow, and that was also very nice.\n\nThe Ginger Tea is also great. \n\nAs we were finishing dinner last time, I commented that the curry is so good that next time we'd have to try the Pad Thai. That's a dish we hardly ever get when its just the two of us, because it can be a bit generic, a safe choice for those that don't know or really like Thai food. But it IS the national dish of a truly world-class cuisine, and given what they do with the green curry, we thought, \""I bet it's really something special\""\n\nAs we were leaving, the owner thanked us for coming, and as we discussed the meal a bit she said \""Oh, you have to try the Pad Thai! The best in the city!\"" I bet that's true, and can't wait to have another dish that's usually a bit of a yawn, turn out to be a real surprise in the hands of this great Thai restaurant. | 12
|
very delicious and good service. byob, which is a dream. love this place. | 12
|
I will start my review by saying that I am not a Thai food expert, but I love Thai Cuisine! My friends have a hard time talking me into trying any other Thai restaurant as I keep coming back here. I'm hooked! | 12
|
Been back several times and it's still our favorite Thai in Pittsburgh. The pad Thai is very good, with a slight smoky flavor that keeps you coming back for more. It's a light pad this, not thick and gloopy, so your friends who only know to eat the pad Thai (assuming you have such friends) won't feel overloaded by their dinner. \n\nI now know not to eat green curry anywhere else! Did that recently on a trip to England and was bummed. | 12
|
The Tom Kha is delicious. All of the curry's hit the spot as well, my favorite is the red bean. Thai Cuisine has many traditional dishes as well, don't be afraid to try something you've never had before. As far as my decade of experience goes here, all of the food is good. | 12
|
As the saying goes, when one Thai food door closes, another Thai food door opens...\n\nIt was Sunday afternoon. We were hungry and we wanted Thai. We walked up to Thai Gourmet, our usual go-to Thai spot, and were greeted by a \""closed\"" sign on the door. They don't open until 5 on Sundays?! But I want Thai food NOWWWWW (feeling very Veruca Salt that day). Dejected, I walked my rumbly tummy up Liberty Ave, and lo and behold, another Thai restaurant appears a few blocks up. Whine and ye shall receive.\n\nAfter perusing the menu, we decide to take out some chicken pad thai and another dish called \""three flavored chicken.\"" Both solid choices. The pad thai portion was huge and chock full of the good stuff (they did not skimp on the meat or veggies in here!) The sauce was flavorful and plentiful, yet light...not overly thick, oily, or sticky, as some pad thai sauces can be. The \""three flavored chicken\"" was also tasty with its crispy, breaded chunks of white meat chicken. The sauce was interesting and unlike anything I've ever had before. Despite its name, I really only tasted two flavors that dominated the sauce -- vinegar (sour) and sugar (sweet). It could have used some spice to round it out, but even so, it was still delicious. I do wish it had some broccoli or other vegetable in it so I at least felt a little less guilty about eating copious amounts of fried chicken chunks :) And overall, for our tastes, both dishes definitely could have kicked up the spice intensity. We had ordered both at a level 8, and as I said, I couldn't really detect any spice at all. So if that was an 8, next time I'll probably order a 33. :)\n\nOverall, this is very yummy Thai food. I'm not sure that it will replace my usual go-to Thai spot, but it'll definitely be high on my list! | 12
|
Okay Thai food, nothing special, and overpriced. Ordered the eggplant with shrimp, veggie fried rice, and chicken satay. Eggplant was okay but lacked adequate quantities of shrimp. The veggie fried rice and chicken satay were both substandard as far as other Thai food restaurants in the area. It is pricier than most other Thai places in the area and based on the quality, I would not recommend. | 01
|
Seems like a very nice neighborhood restaurant and bar. A bit on the expensive side for me with dinner probably in the $15 - 30 range when all is said and done.\n\nThat much said I had the Prime Rib and it was very tasty along with a simple baked potato. \n\nGood service. Plenty of parking in their own lot. | 12
|
Great food, never had a bad meal there. I love that they get their desserts from Signature Desserts. | 12
|
Don't waste your money!!! \nWhen I moved to Brookline about 8 years ago, I thought this was a pretty decent restaurant. We always went for wing night, and the wings were very large and quite tasty. My favorite sauce was the honey jalapeno. While the wings were decent and cheap for the size, I had from day one thought the beers were a bit overpriced for the type of bar and location. The wings kept me coming back, and they were cheap, so I didn't mind paying a little bit more for a few beers. As time went on, the menu seemed to go through a few changes...a few less items, and higher prices, and severely decreased portion sizes. I understand that as with anything, prices are always going to go up, but at the same time, the quality should remain the same or get better! This was not the case here, after giving them a few tries, I gave up. On my last few visits the food was absolutely awful, the portions were minuscule, and overall overpriced. They also did away with the 50 cent wing night. It always seemed that all the owner was concerned with was the almighty dollar. I tried the the corned beef sandwich just after St. Patty's day last year, and the corned beef was almost all fat, it was so bad that they took the sandwich and had me order a new item from the menu. After that I tried the fish and chips around lent, and what a joke it was! You got potato chips ( not home made), and a few tiny pieces of fish that were almost all breading. All of the \""specials\"" that they have, whether they are food or drink, are not worth the prices that this place seems to think that they are. All of their \""special\"" prices are what most other places have as their regular everyday prices! Definitely stay away, and give your money to a local establishment that is more deserving of your money! | 01

Hi, Every Year since I moved here to Pittsburgh since 2003 we went to the Getaway for St Patrick's Day. 3 years ago the food was terrible, but upon taking the extra order back to the restaurant the next day the owner was very nice & refunded some of my money & promised next year would be great!, It was as he said Great, but this Year was so disappointing my family & I will never go back! The staff was very nice, but we waited 20 mins for a table as we were seated at 6pm the waitress asks us for our order & 2 out of 3 of us had our heart set on the traditional Corn beef n Cabbage dinner, her reply was we are out of that for a while now! That info should have been given to us before we waited to be seated so we could have gone elsewhere, and My dinner was \""Irish Lamb Stew\"" I counted the lamb pieces in that stew I got 4 tiny little chunks so I paid for mashed potatoes & lamb gravy it was terrible and expensive. Avoid Them on St. Pat's Day Band was Terrible as well! | 01
|
Note the date on this review because, yes, this place used to be awesome. I keep giving it chances and now i am DONE. I just had the worst meal ever here. It is the NV salad. It used to be my favorite and i would come once a week back in the day. This salad was so nasty...they forgot the cheese...forgot the salsa and sour cream...it was disgusting. Ad the draft beer is luke warm. Not surprising it was empty when it used to be packed on friday night for dinner. | 01
|
Very strange place. Idk what was going on but I went in around 12 pm and there are tons of young kids (5-8) running around the bar. Not a big deal just thought it odd. Got a huge plate of nachos were alright. The rest of us got assorted hoagies. Just meh sorta flavorless. And side dishes tasted as if they were made a long time ago. Good place 4 a large group to drink get apps tho. | 01
|
I haven't been to the Getaway in a few years, and now I remember why. Aside from my hubby, who got a burger and fries, we were all rather underwhelmed with our dishes. Once upon a time this place used to be really good. Now not so much. | 01
|
This is one of those places that you really really WANT to like, especially if you live nearby. I have been mostly underwhelmed by the food,except for their desserts which are perfection. They have a very ambitious menu which perhaps does not give the cooks time enough to really focus on making fewer items really well. Sometimes the dinners are good, sometimes they are not. The salads are good. I would only go there to meet a friend for a drink or attend an event that you are invited to, going there as dinner date is a real gamble, even if you do have a groupon. | 01
|
My boyfriend and I stopped into the Getaway last night to catch the last two periods of the Pens vs. Kings game. We arrived around 7:30 and it wasn't crowded so we took a couple of seats at the bar. Rose, the bartender, was quick to ask us what we wanted to drink. Of course I chose a Southern Tier 2X IPA and he chose a Yuengling, Rose knew all of her regulars and was friendly with everyone. The owners were actually sitting at the bar at the same time and seemed to know most of the regulars as well. For my meal, I ordered the getaway signature wrap (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, walnuts, diced chicken, mandarin oranges and feta cheese, drizzled with balsamic dressing). I asked for no walnuts and a nice surprise as well was the fact that there were craisins in the wrap too. With just the right amount of balsalmic spread throughout the wrap, this was very tasty. I chose fries as my side and those were good as well. My boyfriend has eaten here several times and said the wings (particularly the cajun) are tasty as is the quesadilla (which is so huge you can order just a half), and the Reuben, however, last night he chose the steak hoagie (Thin sliced grilled sirloin and provolone \ncheese on a toasted 8\"" hoagie roll with lettuce and tomatoes). He said it was tasty and he would order it again. Their desserts are from Signature desserts and they all looked delicious! We chose the pumpkin cheesecake. It had just the right amount of pumpkin flavor and was not overpowering. A very tasty seasonal treat! It's hard to find a combination of good service and good food and we found it here so we will be back in the future. | 12
|
I feef that the waitress was not trained correctly and she should never have been fired | 01
|
Fiori's is always great pizza - especially when you're on the way home from town and hungry. It's open late, and usually packed on the weekends. My recommendation, however, is to go to Campitis (a few blocks away, on Potomac Ave in Dormont) if it's not too late, as they have the best pizza in Dormont. But you'll never go wrong here, either. Quick, good pizza, and always a pleaser. | 12
|
A south hills legend. The only problems are a total lack of parking and long wait but a great pizza if you can be patient. | 12
|
This is a dive. A true dive. The lack of pretentiousness and extraneous decor in the building are mirrored in the food that you get here. I would recommend staying away during popular hours due to the fact that the parking is somewhat difficult -- the scant parking is on the side of the building and on the side of the road going up the steep hill. \n\nIt really doesn't matter if you will be dining in or carrying out, you need to walk to the counter first to place your order. If you have more than one person in your group, all the better since they can be on the look-out for a coveted table. Once you order, pay for it. On my first time here, I sat down and waited to be served -- they won't come. I then ordered at the counter and was given the option of paying before or after the meal and I chose after -- the people making the food will assume you haven't arrived and will go slow in the preparation, PAY!\n\nWith the niceties out of the way, you can focus on finding a table or just sit back and relax if someone in your crew already found one. I have been here twice already and these people just don't stop. It is a well-greased assembly line that only lets you down if you don't follow the proper path (look at the above paragraph). Both times I contented myself to watch the large numbers of people that enter through this pizza parlours doors while we waited on our order:\n\nFirst Trip only:\nGarlic bread\nHot wings\n\nBoth Trips:\nMeatballs (x2) and red sauce\nPepperoni Pizza with Extra Cheese (12\"" - 8 cut)\n\nThe meatballs, wings, and bread came out rather quickly. The garlic bread was nothing special, just a loaf brushed with a garlic oil and warmed. Very simple, but somewhat weak in the garlic department. The buffalo wings were good. They were not hot/piquant; but they actually had good flavor and that is really what counts. They were slightly more acidic than many of the wings that I have had in the area and that went well with a little bit of blue cheese. The meatballs were about the size of a racketball. Very little to no seasoning in both the sauce and the meatballs. I was quite surprised to find that I enjoyed them. The small number of ingredients that go into making this simple sauce and meatball had to be in proper proportion each time to get that wonderful flavor -- so far they are batting 2/2. \n\nOur pizza arrived steaming hot and smelling wonderful. I could tell from the small bits of brown that were beginning in the cheese that the pizza had been cooked fully and to the proper temperature. There is nothing worse than a pizza that is pulled too soon. I ate my first piece and was amazed at the flavors. The pizza, overall, had a sweet undertone. As I started on my second piece, I began to take more note of the flavors. The crust had a slightly sweet flavor, was a tad doughy/soft, but was super thin and had a very good flavor. The sauce was also sweet; it tasted like the sauce that came with the meatballs. Tasting the pepperoni, again there was this sweet undertone to it. \n\nI must say, I am not usually a fan of sweet foods, but this wasn't unnaturally sweet and it was tasting good. What amazed me the most was the near-perfect execution of the pizza with so few ingredients and none of the usual and stereotypical Italian seasonings. Yeah, I enjoyed this pizza. It is definitely the best I have had in Pittsburgh. I will be returning for my pizza fix again and again and again... \n\nThey only accept cash, if you have none there is a convenient ATM near the singles/kiddie bar. They are open until 3am on the weekends, so if you get a late night hankering for pizza you are in luck. Just be advised you will have to then battle the post-bar crowd.\n\nNOTE: If you must have the Italian seasoning, you won't like this pizza. Also, be careful of ordering too many toppings or extra cheese as the crust is so thin and has a hard time holding it up -- not an issue if you eat with a fork. | 12

First I must clarify that my rating here is based on my scale of pizza-ratings only. This pizza is certainly edible, but it is not at the top of my pizza-scale, a place reserved for the Grimaldis and Lombardis of the world (or, more realistically, just the U.S.; Italian pizza, I have heard and trust, is even better).\n\nFiori's is just underwhelming. I had family from New Jersey visiting and we were looking to grab a few pies after exploring around town. Piccolo Forno was unfortunately closed so I looked to the trusty internet to help me find something near our location that had a good reputation. Fiori's was a popular choice with decent ratings, so we headed over that way. The restaurant space is cramped and only conducive to tables of 4 guests or less in a party. Service was helpful, friendly, and quick. But the pizza just fell flat. The sauce was so sweet, which is not normal outside of this region (not sure what sweet tomato sauce is about, but I don't dig it. There has to be sugar added or something.). Dough was ok but wasn't that perfect medium for the simple yet magical tomato and mozzarella combination that it ought to be. If you are expecting New York style pizza, this is NOT the place for you. Average at best, but better than your fast-food pizza places if you are in a pinch. For me, that will be never. | 01
|
When I heard about the slightly sweet sauce served on a Fiori's Pizza, I was doubtful about whether or not this would be a place for me. I have to say overall I liked it- but with a few caveats.\n\nParking stinks. Don't bother eating in, just get take out. Grab a friend, have them drive and run in to pick up your pie. My quick bite of pizza took over two hours from finding a parking space, standing in line to order, waiting for my pizza to be made, getting a table with said pizza (there is very limited seating for eating in), eating and finally wriggling past the other waiting people to get out to search for the car. The place is CASH ONLY, no credit cards so make sure you got a twenty to buy your pie. (Fortunately they have an ATM on site but the fees!)\n\nAll my complaints aside, I did enjoy my pizza. The sweetness of the sauce was balanced by the saltiness of the olives they exuberantly provided on my pizza. The crowd of people in there provided for a quite interesting people-watching experience. The slices of pizza were unevenly divided and my eating companions were quick to grab what might have been fold-able slices, but I feel like folding was a possibility for the crust.\n\nOverall, I'd go back. | 12
|
I have to admit, I've never physically been inside Fiori's, but I've had their pizza several times. In a word: forgettable.\n\nThe last take-out pie we got was less than pleasing to the eye. All the cheese was on half the pie. The onions were diced - an interesting choice - and I actually liked that they were raw. The green peppers seemed to have been cut willy nilly, but that's OK. It's not 5-star, it's pizza. The pizza has a sweet taste to it, and I can't can't if it's the sauce or the dough, but I suspect the former. \n\nOverall, I'd eat it again, but wouldn't go out of my way. I suspect it would be really delicious cold, for breakfast. | 01
|
It was late and on the way home with nothing at home to eat. Stopped by Fiori's, haven't been there in years. Yes, it was crowded but got a table and ordered pizza and wings. \n\nThe pizza was hard to chew the crust was hard, the cheese was too! The pizza was just sweet without much other taste, almost like ketchup! Definitely not a fan of sweet pizza...I don't know why it is so popular but most people tend to like sweet food and drinks...but not me...I want some flavors and spice!\n\nThe wings were so average....not anything I would order again....my son ate one and said he was done...amazing!\n\nI know! I know! this place is popular, but it is just is not for me! | 01

My stepfather-in-law gave me sage advice about finding good pizza. If you don't know the pizza in an area, look for the dirtiest, rundown place you can find, and you'll find the best pizza in town. The thinking behind that is, if the place looks that bad but is still in busines, then there is a reason they're still in business. And in my experiences, it's almost always true.\n\nFiori's is a dive (in a good way)- the inside looks like it was put together in the '70's, and the staff isn't always the friendliest. Forget about parking- there are three spots on the side of the building and perilious street parking on the hill. The later in the evening you go, the busier the dining room. My suggestion is don't eat here- you're only asking for drama.\n\nBut then you get home with that steaming pie, and all the parking nonsense, questionable customer service, and wait in line vanishes as you're enveloped in cheesey, meaty goodness. The pizzas are big, there are a ton of toppings, and the sauce is sweet in a good way. My suggestion is try their white pizza, which I think rivals the ones I've had in New York. I get mine with ricotta cheese, mushrooms, and meatballs- I'm drooling just thinking about it. I also suggest you try their italian hoagie- big, lots of meat, good dressing, and toasted in a crunchy way- my favorite in Pittsburgh. | 12
|
This is Mecca... I don't know why it's so good. The sauce is really sweet, the best thing I can compare it to is spaghetti O's sauce... respectively. But when it meets the crust and pepperoni or the \""out of this world sausage\"" ... magic happens. I would reccommend pep, sausage and onion. It's in a class of it's own. Trust me. | 12
|
CHEESE ON CHEESE ON CHEESE ON CHEESE ON CHEESE\n\ni love fioris. | 12
|
I've travel 52 weeks per year. I grew up in Pittsburgh, lived in Chicago for 5 years came back this year. Been to Italy, New York...Fiori's is the best. Sauce is great, cheese is great, service is always friendly and entertaining. I have been going here for 20 years. | 12
|
What can you say about Fiori's. i'm going to just start throwing out some words and stop me when you get the point. \n\nlegendary, awesome, fantastic, sweet, cheese...oh so much cheese...., epic, beautiful, famous, iconic, local, unique, different, quality...... I think you get the point. \n\nFiori's is all of those things and more. They are, in my mind, the best Pizza place in Pittsburgh. I know that is a highly debatable topic, but when people from the North Shore bother to go to south hills to a little hole in the wall place with no parking and hardly any room to eat inside, you know it's good. \n\nI lived in Brookline for 2 years and would frequent this place. I would say that eating the pizza in the shop is better than taking it out. Even though it's a small place it's worth it to go to that lightly crispy crust something you don't get when it sit's in a box waiting for you to pick it up. \n\nAlso the cheese is the cats meow at this place to don't even bother putting toppings on your pizza. The topping is overshadowed by the sweet sause and the mountain of cheese so don't waist your money. It's better that way, trust me! | 12

We ordered two pizzas and wings on a Friday night over the phone for pick up. They told us it would be ready in an hour. Sure, it's Friday a busy night so an hour seemed reasonable. My husband showed up an hour later and it was not ready. He had to park illegally because there is absolutely no parking available here and was very worried about the car getting hit. \n\nIt took another 45 minutes before he actually got the pizza. 1 hour and 45 mins is ridiculously long to wait! They should have cut off orders if they were that overwhelmed!\n\nWhen we tasted the pizza, it was... Okay. The sauce tasted like sugar and the crust was bland. Kinda like the pizza you'd expect from a street vendor at 3am in the South Side. \n\nWe will never be back and will remain loyal to Krazy Brothers and Molly's Pizza in dormont for now on. | 01
|
Eat at Fioris, they said. Youll like it, they said.\n\nis it conveniently located on West Liberty Boulevard, this restaurant features absolutely nowhere to park on the road that is impossible to get to.\n\nWhen I called to place our order a miserable sounding me an answer the phone with the side and then said what do you need? I placed our order and he said don't come down here it's going to be at least an hour to we can get to you if my coworkers can do anything right. That was really unprofessional. Some people may think that character but really I don't care what kind of a day the person taking the pizza order is having I just want to place my order without feeling im bothering them,\n\nYou should know that you will have to illegally parked your car to pick your order up. the place was filthy inside and it was packed full of people and total mayhem. I would never ever recommend eating in store even if the place was clean up you're still going to have people waiting to pick three orders of standing right over you. It was also about a hundred degrees in there. They also only take cash with they didn't mention and there was no sign so I was glad I had cash on hand.\n\nI knew that something was up with the pizza 13 started leaking through the lid of the pizza as we were driving it home. The bottom and the top rated with grease. How does that even happen? My friend said that's a sign of a great pizza but he is a guy and we have other eating priorities it was disgusting. You're not supposed to take a slice of pizza up out of the pizza box and have all of the toppings slide off due to thebgrease. the only restaurant that could get away with pizza that greasy is Vincents and they are now gone..you could caulk a bathtub with the cheese that's how rubbery it was. It was disgusting. the red sauce tasted like it was ketchup with sugar added. It was gross I don't understand why anybody likes this restaurant but the poor service and the poor quality of the food is a prime example of a restaurant resting on the laurels of its legacy. | 01
|
I'm with Zachary on this one, after years of hearing about this pizza I finally tasted a slice at a steeler party. The sauce was normal, kinda sweet, garlicky, nothing special. Loaded with cheese that had pools of grease swimming on it. Knowing I don't eat meat my friends ordered me a half pizza with peppers and onions. It was still dripping with grease. I removed the cheese and just ate the crust with the vegetables. I was still kind of dumbfounded as to why this place gets raves. The crust was nothing to write home about, it was just kind of yeasty and chewy. I definitely don't see what all the fuss is. When I'm going to have a cheat day with pizza it's Beto's for me. | 01
|
Yes the pizza is the best in the burgh. But don't don't forget the wings. They also have the best wings in the burgh. They don't deliver. They don't have to. I'd drive for miles. | 12
|
Best pizza in the Burgh. No doubt. | 12
|
Their cheese pizza is a must have if you're visiting Pittsburgh. Period. It's where all the locals go and you should too! | 12
|
There are some great pizza places in this City, and this is one of the best. Good balance of quality ingredients, and crust is consistently finished. The small interior can get crowded at times, but the pizza is worth the minor inconvenience. Easily on par with Aiello's and Mineo's in Squirrel Hill, two of the more decorated pizza joints in Pittsburgh. Fiori's gets extra credit for using the small spicy pepperonis and always having a pinball game in the corner! | 12
|
My husband's relatives love Fiori's, and I've grown to love it too. Apparently it was a neighborhood hangout for them when they were kids so they have a sentimental attachment to the place... I just like the pizza. The restaurant area is small, nothing fancy, and crowded on weekends, so we pick up and take our pie to the in-laws, who live close and usually don't cook for us when we visit.\n\nOur favorite seems to be the mushroom and pepperoni pie. I'm always a fan of a pliable crust with a thin layer of mildly sweet sauce and a THICK layer of cheese. I adore cheese. So based on my preferences, this pizza really does it for me. \n\nThe ultimate quest for the \""best pizza\"" is a tricky thing. Everyone has different tastes and stipulations when it comes to their favorite pie, which makes me wonder: Is there really a \""best pizza\"" out there? There is most definitely BAD pizza, and you have only to look at most major chains to find it. Fiori's qualifies as a good pizza, and probably the best I've had from this area of town. So maybe that is all there is to it. Pizza can be good or bad, but no pizza is going to be perfect for everyone. And that's my pizza theory. \n\nYou're welcome folks. | 12
|
My girlfriend is much newer to the area so I try to take her to real Pittsburgh places. Fiori's should be held right up there next to Primanti's as a staple. South Hills icon. \n\nThere's old world charm when you order. Pie comes out quick. It's awesome deliciousness scored me many points with the lady and satisfied my soul for making my not-often-enough trip to this fantastic pizza icon of the City of Champs. \n\nPreach. | 12
|
Ok I'm from the southhills and realize people in Pgh have no idea what good pizza is. I assure you this place isn't it. Problem is the block heads that love this place so much just say they love it cause they are from brookline and think it's cool to say \""I love fioris\"" with a really slang sound . Hoagies are garbage and sorry but provolone cheese isn't used on a true ital pizza and sweet sauce ? Garbage !!!! After all the garbage food you get unbelievable attitude. Lol this place would not last 2 weeks in New York plain and simple!!! | 01
|
The sales team worked with me to trade a car that needed work and put me into the car I always wanted for a price I could afford. Talk to Jeff and Dom they are Awesome! | 12
|
Basically when we took our car in to see if they would look at the issues with our car they responded like a bunch of mindless monkeys with wrenches. Toyota will not take the time to find the solution to what is wrong with your car. Do not buy from Day or Rohrich, they will not care about you or whatever is wrong with your car. Also, their warranties SUCK. | 01
|
We've been to a lot of car dealerships in the last few weeks, and this was hands-down, the worst experience of the bunch. We were first ignored, then made to sit and wait for pricing for more than 20 minutes, for no apparent reason. We will definitely not be going back. | 01
|
Great experience here with our most recent vehicle purchase! Kristen Ehmann welcomed us from the start. We have been looking for a new vehicle for several months, but hadn't made the purchase because of unclear pricing and the fact that most places didn't have what we asked for, but wanted to steer us into buying what they had...\n\nOur request was immediately answered by your team, and Kristen was friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. Of all our car buying experiences, she demonstrated the most skill and made the experience the most fun and least stressful.\n\nYour dealership worked with us from the start - even though it was late on Saturday, getting us the vehicle was not a problem. There was no \""come back on Monday or come back in a week\"" story from them - as soon as we agreed on the details, we were told that we would be driving our vehicle home that afternoon.\n\nKristen even followed up with us this week, and sent my 4 year old a \""Swagger Wagon\"" can cooler because she noticed that my daughter liked the promotional video. That's attention to detail.\n\nSue was great when we went on to make the deal - she was clear, concise, and was not pushy. There were no surprises, and we left pleased with the whole transaction.\n\nI am glad we checked out this dealership - would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a Toyota vehicle. | 12

This is up there in my top 5 thrift stores. While it doesn't have a lot in the way of furniture (a few pieces downstairs), it has plenty of everything else. My first visit was meant to be a short browse, but it turned into a marathon 2.5 hour shop. There were shelves and shelves of bric-a-brac to sort through, kitchen supplies galore, and so many clothes I couldn't even think about looking through them all. The only downsides were the out of control kids running around, and the constant traffic jams of shopping carts in the aisles. Otherwise, I highly recommend this place for the serious thrifter/new apartment dweller/anyone looking to kill a few hours. | 12
|
Ahhhhh. I cut my teeth on the RW&B in the mid nineties and just revisited it for the first time since then!! I always looked for thrift stores like this in LA and SF but....hell no. \n\nWow, has she gotten a makeover: ATM in the corner, a bathroom for patrons (one that is actually somewhat clean!) and the absence of that old person-Ben-Gay smell. Prices have gone up slightly....but where else can you buy a brand new tennis racket, framed photo of Kermit the Frog (signed!) and an oversized pair of Joan Collins a la Dynasty sunglasses....true story! And knowing that half your cart is filled with items the have color tags that are HALF OFF THAT day without knowing until checkout provokes sheer joy. I was a giddy schoolgirl the whole way home.\n\nFYI- it is still cash only and the parking lot can get a little wild. Watch out for the potholes! | 12
|
Love the store. Nice stuff. Price reasonable. BAD parking...Employees at this location are nicer and willing to help compare to the one at Ohio River Blvd....Easy check out. Friendly staff..... | 01
|
As a general store that sells things for generally cheaper this is ok. Just ok. The perks are that is has its own parking lot, a large selection, and a big store space. Also pretty closely located most city neighborhoods. \n\nLets talk about a few \""thrift\"" store points 1. Price... the prices here are not low, for what you would normally identify with thrift, part of the thrill for me is finding things for next to nothing. So when I see Walmart and Target prices on almost everything that makes me immediately suspect. 2. \""Charity factor\"" I like shopping at places I know are helping others in some way. This store claims to offer opportunities for you to donate your goods so that they can buy them through \""Veterans of Vietnam\"" who then resell your donated goods for a profit (google it I did). So there's zero charity factor to this store, its a fairly large chain for profit, profiting off peoples donations. Ha Say that three times fast. \n\nmoving on an example of my problems with their pricing, everything in the kitchen section was 12.95$ really? Even for some plastic japan made unicorn trays, yup. I will pay that for a vintage item I really like but only on payday and only because I am a geek. Clothing was not priced cheap and I could find nothing by size its all by color which is odd. Its crowded and many items are broken yet seem to be priced at full I found a kiddie gate, for my dog only to find the bottom latch was broken. \n\nCool linens in the basement still at good prices... bonus for that I found some cool old curtains I want to use to recover my mid century chairs I just bought.\n\nTips:\n\n Cash only! The next time I see one of these signs I am going to look around me and ask the clerk if Christopher Lloyd has shown up with my Delorian yet so I can be transported back to the future. Where they use credit card machines instead of ATM machines from 1985.\n\nAntique factor: 4/5 they do have some old stuff\n\nPicked over factor 3/5 busy shop but they have a lot of stuff\n\nThrift factor 1/5 Over priced. | 01
|
It's a like a stampede when you enter this store! The least of the problem is the other shoppers, but the staff are gruff and unfriendly. Wasn't worth it for me. | 01
|
Parking sucks. It smelled. They are way way overpriced! I saw a bag priced at $15 that was apparently donated from a yard sale because it had another tag for $3! Just really lots of junk. Also it's a cash only place but they do have an atm. Their clothes are sorted by color which is cool. | 01
|
I've been to many thrift stores in my life and this one is definitely over priced! They are selling some items at a price that I could spend on the same item brand new! \n\nThe store closes at 6:00 which is very inconvenient for most people who work a 9-5. I had to rush to get there after work and still didn't get there until 5:45.\n\nIt is a cash only establishment and the staff was very rude.\n\nI'd rather spend my money at Goodwill! | 01

I am a big fan of It's Greek to Me in Brookline. This tiny little place at the edge of Brookline doesn't look like much, but it has a real family character, cheap eats and tasty food.\n\nI have dined in twice and got carry out twice as well. The first time I got a platter/dinner, but I found the deal is really to be had with the gyros. Getting two gyros and a huge amount of fries for only $10 is a steal. The gyro bread is toasted, but still soft and it is loaded with meat like your grandma would try to feed you. The veggies have always tasted fresh and it is served hot. If I could change on thing, I would prefer fresh herbs on the gyro instead of dried. This gyro is definitely more spiced up than your chain restaurant gyro. The fries are fresh cut and nothing is cooked until you order it.\n\nIf you choose to dine in, you will be greeted by the proprietor and casually asked to take a seat any where you like. This isn't the type of place for formalities. She will offer you some delicious Greek Tea (you have to try it) and take your order, cook it and then serve it to you. Sometimes you can hear bickering in the kitchen between her and her old man- but that only adds to the family atmosphere. The store does take credit card, so that's a great modern convenience. At the end of the meal, we've always gotten a stick of gum :)\n\nIf you choose to carry out, it's a simple call and your food is ready by the time you drive down there. There is usually a place to park near by and you can be on your way quickly. | 12
|
The food here is so good that I was ready to give It's Greek to Me a four-star review after eating takeout that had ridden halfway across Pittsburgh to meet up with me. It's a cliche to say dishes have layers of flavor, but there's no more accurate way to describe this thoughtful, absolutely delicious cooking.\n\nThe restaurant isn't fancy, but it's like eating in someone's living room, and those are some of the best restaurant meals I've had. The takeout gyro was great, with buttery pita and a potato-garlic spread that goes with frankly everything. But the souvlaki eaten in, while considering the scrapbook-worthy collection of paintings and memorabilia on the dining room walls, was sublime - a little char and a lot of flavor in every bite. I have eaten a lot of Greek food cooked by a lot of Greek people who are very good cooks, and this stands up to any of it. Save room for the baklava, and don't share - you'll want your own piece. | 12
|
Very sad to find that donuts are made the day before. I ordered three dozen donuts at about $10 a dozen, and found them to be stale and bordering on disgusting. With all the awesome donuts in this town, why would you sell \""yesterday's donuts at today's prices?\"" Won't be returning there for any baked products as I have no idea when they may have been baked. The woman that works at the counter is very sweet, I wanted to support this local business, sadly, I cannot. | 01
|
Very good! The dinning room is located in the back behind the bar. You must get the fried zucchini! Their breading is so light yet flavorful! The portions for the entr\u00e9es were HUGE! Service was great, and everyone was very friendly. | 12
|
They make their own Pita breads here, and they make them delicious and cheap. This would be enough reason to go here, as it's hard to find tasty and fresh pitas (most of the time, the bags still have steam in them because they're so fresh) for a good price, and this is it.\n\nOn top of that, they have frozen raw gyros meat and home made tzatsiki sauce, so you can throw together a gyros sandwich. They have hummus and different kinds of olives by the pound, and a huge selection of turkish and arab foods. Some of their more interesting specialty items do get pricier, but mostly the cost is reasonable, and you can at least understand why a little box of food bought in sub-bulk from a random country in the Middle East is more expensive. \n\nDiverse, well stocked non-perishables and cheap, delicious pitas and prepared food accompaniments. | 12
|
Pita Land has the best pitas in the city, hands down.\n\nThey also have amazing spinach pies and pepperoni rolls - well, technically, they are not pepperoni rolls, but pita pepperoni rolls. Which is even better. \n\nI brought a $8 jar of tahini from Giant Eagle and came in here two days later and saw I could have brought twice as much from here for the same price. Once I finish that jar, I am coming here to buy my tahini.\n\nThey also sell gyro sandwiches for $5 on Saturdays. I haven't brought one, but I sampled one and it tasted good. | 12
|
We've always been fans of Pita Land as a great Mediterranean grocery and the best joint in Pittsburgh to get freshly made pitas of all varieties and hummus. When we heard they were putting in a cafe, I knew it would be good.\n\nGyros, baked flat breads, pizzas, burgers, and all kinds of Mediterranean fare do not disappoint. Much to our own demise (wayyy too much to eat), we ordered a meat flat bread (thinking it would be small), a Gyro Doner (larger than normal), and a Lamb Burger.\n\nThe Lamb Burger, hands down, is one of the best burgers I've actually had in Pittsburgh. Super juicy. Cooked to order. Feta cheese, pickled onions, etc. I highly recommend.\n\nDo yourself a favor and get a piece of baklava from the counter on your way out as well! | 12
|
My favourite restaurant and bakery in pittsburgh | 12
|
Pita Land, olive you.\n\nI don't know why I don't come here everyday.\n\nIt's a great little market, where you can get delicious Mediterranean/Lebanese/Middle Eastern groceries. They have fresh made hummus, dips, pita bread, you name it! And everything's reasonably priced (don't have to shell out too many leaves for my grape leaves ...) \n\nBest of all, in the last year they opened a cafe inside. It's damn delicious and cheap to boot! The gyro, lamb burger, french fries with rosemary dip, flat breads are all excellent and won't disappoint! | 12
|
New pita caf\u00e9 is a welcome addition to a classic bakery and some of the best hummus in Pittsburgh. A great menu with fresh and local items served quickly efficiently and kicked up condiments and extras at every turn. This is the best Mediterranean food in Pittsburgh bar none. Chef Greg keep it coming | 12
|
Absofrigginamazeballs! This place is the bomb! Great food, friendly service and a little grocery in the side. Who could ask for more!?! The falafel pita will astound. Yummers! | 12
|
This place is amazing and anyone who isn't giving it 5 stars is crazy. My husband and I just moved to Brookline from NYC and when we discovered this place I felt like I struck gold. The pita is incredible...like the freshest most delicious pita I have ever had. The baba ghanoush is fantastic and smokey...omg. I could eat that every day. I had the spinach pie with feta cheese and it was yummy. My husband liked his gyro, but next time will ask for a little more sauce. Pitaland is super clean, the employees are friendly and the food is the real deal. I plan on making it one of my regular stops. | 12
|
This time I brought my partner in culinary adventure and I ordered a Gyro and some fries. My wife ordered a falafel plate. She said it was the best she's ever had. I felt the same about my Gyro. The fries were great. They're seasoned with something I couldn't identify and served with tartar. Awesome. I wish you could order a small because for $4 it's a huge basket. Way too much for a side with a sandwich. Miriam helped me out and I did finish them. They were too good to waste. I also took a square of baklava home and again it was the best I have ever had anywhere. This place is a treasure. If I lived near here, I would be here all the time. | 12

Love this bakery! It is my favorite in Brookline and always has delightful treats and wonderful staff. \n\nJust recently bought a King Cake for Fat Tuesday, and it was by far the best I've ever had and very affordable.\n\nStop by for snack! | 12

If this place is affiliated with the bakery of the same name on Beverly Rd. in Mt. Lebanon, steer clear. Bought 5 pastries today after I managed to drag the clerk away from her socializing and the one I tasted was so stale, I took a closer look at the others. They had all be dropped quickly in a too big box with no waxed paper in between them so they had fallen over. The icing was not damaged though as they were so stale they were hard. I had my husband take a bite out of one and he confirmed it was bad. We broke the others in half just to determine if any were fresh. Nope. Tossed them all and went to Prantl's. | 01
