| - Best pizza I've ever had. No question.
I lived in the South Side for a few years, and I would eat at Michael's every weekend. I was a regular to the point that when I'd walk in, they wouldn't even bring me a menu, they'd just put in my order. Even after I moved to the North Side, I would still try to make the trip for the best pizza in Pittsburgh.
While the restaurant itself isn't fancy, modern, or fussy (although they underwent some minor renovations in the past 2 years), the food is crave worthy. As appetizers go, it's hard to go wrong with the twistees. Ahhh, the twistees. Michael's delicious dough twisted into golden ribbons, dusted with Parmesan and baked until perfect. Served with the best pizza sauce I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. The hockey puck is also a pretty excellent prelude to your pizza. A seasoned, golden brown fried chunk of deliciousness shaped like a...well, you get the idea. The pizza is perfection. The sauce is outrageously good, the cheese is a great quality, creamy blend, and the dough is consistently perfectly cooked. I could eat a whole pizza, it's THAT good. In fact, I have eaten a whole medium pizza in one sitting during the Michael's Pizza Challenge. Just to get a silly tshirt. I'm still proud of my accomplishment!
The service is always great, Megan is an especially attentive and personable waitress. Great place to watch a game, grab a pitcher, and enjoy the finest pizza in Pittsburgh.
P.S. Michael's, I miss you...I'll be back once I'm off my diet :)
