| - For our first pizza since moving to Pittsburgh, we wanted something simple and inexpensive. We'll try the Aiello's and Mineo's later I'm sure, but we were just looking for something standard to curb the pizza craving.
Found a coupon in the mail for a $15.99 combo at Pizza Bellino - a large pizza and 12 wings. Sold. I called to place the order, and whoever answered the phone was a bit disorganized. When he asked to put me "on hold," he clearly just put the receiver down on the counter because I could still hear him yelling at someone and then taking an order from an in-person customer. I felt like a moron because I kept thinking he was talking to me! Also, after I ordered, he did not take my name or any personal information. I know it was pick-up, not delivery, but um - shouldn't you get my name? I tried to ask if he wanted my name but he'd already hung up. Stellar first impression! Not. (haha. I said "Not." I'm eight years old.)
SO we mosey down the street 20 minutes later for our pizza. Seeing as he didn't have my name, the dude tried to give me a pepperoni pizza with wings, and then we had a brief and confusing verbal exchange where I said I didn't order pepperoni, but I'd take it if they made it by mistake - as long as I didn't have to pay more than the coupon price. The guy did not seem keen on that idea, but then suddenly he had an epiphany - perhaps there was another pizza in the back - the one I'd actually ordered! Revelation! And that was what happened.
At home, we opened up our boxes, ready to chow down. The pizza was utterly, totally "fine." It was okay. It was standard. It was pizza. Cheese wasn't oozingly melty, there wasn't a luscious smear of homemade sauce, and the crust didn't have those hand-tossed bumps and crevices.
It was college student pizza. Totally standard, totally satisfying. The wings were actually a step above - lots of meat on them, and the sauce was pretty hot! Lips and tongue definitely tingling for the rest of the evening. And of course, cheap (with a coupon at least!)
I'd get pizza here again - especially if I was ordering for a crowd or a sporting event and didn't want any really gourmet or expensive pizza. It's probably good drunk pizza too. The wings I'd definitely order again as well. It's totally fine pizza, as long as you know what you're getting into. If you want something above average, look elsewhere. If you just want crust, cheese, and sauce - this will satisfy your cravings.
