| - I'm surprised by the reviews for here because I've never had a problem with them. As Duchess you probably can guess I'm here a lot and much more than the times I'd remembered to check in. First of all, you have to give them some credit for being the newest pizza joint in a area that already has 6 others. I mean really at that point you know they're either naive or they can offer something better.
So all the reviews from what I can tell are about their pizza. Well they also have good wraps, awesome calzones, crisp cheese sticks (not soggy like eatnparks) and huge delicious salads! They have a pizza special 2 cheese slices and a drink for $4 which I dare you to compare to Italian Village Pizza just up the street where they have the same deal but thin cardboard pizza slices. If you go for one of Bellino's specialty pizzas, go ahead an compare it to Lucci's which is overpriced "gourmet" pizza that doesn't deliver. When it comes to Mineo's pizza and Aiello's pizza, you've got to know they have been around so long that they have a rivalry between the two, you like one or the other, but it's also completely unfair fight if you try to compare it to Bellino.
The have a clean area with tables to dine in if you choose and the food is served to you quickly. I've only had it slightly burnt once when I went in on a Friday night which is was obvious they were swamped with orders and deliveries to be done. Also when it comes to the phone service, it's always one guy helping you and the customers at the counter. They don't have fancy hold music, he asks you to hold then helps the customer there and then helps you as quickly as he can and in the order you came. He's the same guy there every day except Sunday working his hardest. It's obvious the difference of the pizza on Sundays is lower quality because he's the one that keeps the employees on their toes.
I'm giving them 5 stars because for what they offer I think they deserve it. In Pittsburgh, pizza isn't just the same everywhere, you have to pick your pizza place depending on what you want out of it, remember that!!
