| - Yes, they deliver, and love movies, Pittsburgh sports, and local artists. "Casa" is a tiny neighborhood pizza shop located near the firehall. I worked there in 1996 and possibly a few other years off and on. My third pizza cook job, it was owned by Bobby Cozza who raised 4 daughters and little Luigi off the profits. Founded in 1978, when Bobby quit the plumbing business (though he continued to do a little plumbing work here and there for years after) eventually he and his business partner went separate ways. Bobby ran the shop through the 90s and finally he retired and sold it to the current owners, the Lombardi family.
Bobby, whose family hailed from Calabria, made a signature Calabrese white pizza, which is still offered there today: olive oil, spinach, feta and artichoke.
Casa's new owners were loyal to Bobby's vision and experience. They used chefs at the neighboring tavern who dissected and then managed to recreate Bobby's unique take on classic Italian Dressing, which has impressed my friends as far away as the Big Apple. Stop in and ask to take home a bottle!
