| - Yet another flyer came to my doorstep with the local Pennysaver advertising a new pizza endeavor. This evening, we ordered ourselves a "meat classic" pizza, an Italian hoagie, and some cannoli from Bellamonte, the latest combatant to enter the eternally raging Pittsburgh Pizza Wars.
Eh, I've had this kind of spongy, heavy, bread-like crust before along with the invisible sauce, and loads of a mozzarella/provolone blend. There was pepperoni, sausage, ham, salami, capicola, gyro meat (!), bacon, and I was bored.
The "Supreme Italian" hoagie was sufficiently stuffed with l-t-o, vinaigrette, cheese, hot peppers, and the usual Italian deli meats, but again, if this were a movie, I'd be yawning.
The same could be said about the cannoli.
There's just entirely too many pizzas and hoagies like this in Pittsburgh. Bellamonte doesn't stand out among the throngs.
I give 'em 6 months before the door revolves again.
P.S. According to the aforementioned flyer, Bellamonte delivers to Greentree, Sheraden, Crafton, Ingram, Mt. Washington, Downtown, North Side, South Side, Beechview, Brookline, Elliot, Dormont, Banksville, and Carnegie. $10 minimum order.
