Not sure how I can add on to the raves and reviews about Prantl's, but this is one of the food places that Pittsburgh is famous for.
The burnt almond torte is their best offering. It has the crunchy salty almond and the sweet moist layers. It was very good! My friend's wedding cake was from here. She said the cake didn't freeze well but that maybe it's the way they stored the cakes?
I love the giant cookies. It's definitely meant for sharing. Strangely enough, I don't like the almond torte cookie as much as the cake version. I think it's because the "icing" is hard/iced compared to the creamy icing on a cake. My fave cookie are the chocolate chip, peanut butter (both are very buttery good) and the oreo iced cookie.
