| - I came here with some friends last fall for a slice of pizza after visiting the PGH Glass Center's open house. My one friend, who usually eats gluten-free, was being tested for celiac disease, so she was on a diet in which she had to eat a certain amount of carbs per day. Since pizza is one of those items she isn't usually able to eat, and it'd been years since she'd had a slice of (non-gluten-free) pizza, we decided to head over to Pizza Sola for a slice.
I ordered a slice of the spinach, tomato, and feta, my (usually) gluten-free friend had a slice of pepperoni, and my other friend had a slice of cheese, since that pie had just come out of the oven. While the slices were okay, my non-gf friend and I were a bit disappointed, since, for $4 a slice, we expected pretty incredible pizza. While the slices were large and the flavors were okay (albeit nothing special), the crust was soft and floppy (I prefer a crispy crust for thin-crust pizza) and kind of soggy from the sauce on top. Also, the toppings were prone to sliding off, which always annoys me when eating pizza. My non-gf friend agreed with me about the quality, even though her slice was fresher than mine. My gf friend, on the other hand, really enjoyed her slice, but she said she suspected this was just because it'd been so long since she'd actually had pizza.
I've heard the quality of the pizza at this place is inconsistent, and that some days it's better than others, so I'd be willing to try it again if I happen to be in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. 2.5 stars.
