| - Let me start by saying that I am a New Yorker (before Pittsburgh, I lived in Manhattan for 8 years and Long Island before that), and we can be very picky about our pizza. The dough should be thin enough where it's crunchy, but not so thin that when you pick up the pizza, it flaps down. The sauce should be just a bit acidic, but no so much that it tastes like vinegar. And the cheese should be plentiful enough to give pizza that characteristic flavor, but not so plentiful that you get a glob of fat in your mouth.
Well, after trying a whole host of pizza joints in the 'burgh, I'm happy to say that Pizza Bellino is my favorite. Now, this isn't going to be authentic NY pizza, but it will pretty close. Every time I crave a slice, this is the first place that comes to mind. In fact, but for their $11 minimum order for delivery, I would have some on the way right now!
If you want a classic pizza without any frills, Pizza Belino will do the job.
(and stay away from those terrible "Pittsburgh Pizzas" at Aiello's and Mineo's ...bleh)
