| - Pittsburgh is growing fast. Just three years ago, there were barely any places to buy fancy pizza. Also, you would drop about $15 to get dough... and maybe an afterthought of cheese (albeit, delicious, delicious cheese) and half a sneeze worth of toppings. While those restaurants were able to keep my belly happy, a recent outburst of similarly priced or cheaper restaurants with the same quality ingredients (and more of it) has popped up around the city, giving those old ones some competition.
Pizza Taglio provides unique, creative topping combinations on top of fresh dough. The crust was absolutely perfect: crunchy on the outside with a little bit of chewiness in the inside. The mozzarella was fresh and did that awesome gooey stretching that you would delete your internet history for if you watched it for too long. I was boring and got the speck, arugula, mozzarella pizza with blistered tomatoes and balsamic glaze. Simple concept, but not always easy to execute perfectly. I was happily pleased with the ratio of the toppings, the arugula was fresh and spicy, and the speck was fatty and crispy.
In addition, they have really sweet service. Everyone was smiling and we had some great conversations with the people working there. I had a pleasant afternoon.
Overall, I see myself coming back here often on rainy days or simple date nights.
