I just went there the other night for dinner. The decor of the restaurant is awesome. I really loved the light fixtures. The size of the restaurant is very small. There is limited seating for dinner but there must be about twenty seats around the bar.
Our party started with their signature Proper Snack - Bacon Candy. The bacon used is smoked and cured in-house. The Bacon Candy was really good. It has a brown sugar glaze and black pepper crust. This gave the pork belly an initial sweet taste with a kick. I have never had bacon prepared that way. For my entree, I got the Forest pizza. The Forest comes with caramelized wild mushrooms, roasted shallot, balsamic reduction, fresh thyme and fontina. It was a really good pizza. Proper Brick Oven and Tap Room cooks their pizzas in an 800 degree oven. They serve their pizzas as soon as their come out. My only complaint is the crust. When I think of brick oven pizza, I really want a nice crispy crust. I think the thickness of the crust prevents the pizza from getting a really crispy crust.
Overall, I great place to eat in downtown Pittsburgh. Their drink menu is also very extensive. Unfortunately I did not sample any of the beers, but they seem to have a lot of local beers on tap. I would love to come back and try a few flights.
