Mmmm amazeballs for brunch. Made a reservation to try out Skinny Pete's for brunch during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and ventured to Avalon. Not as far away as I thought, about a 15 min drive from Lville.
SP is small, so reservations are def recommended. There isn't anywhere inside to wait for a table. If you come w/o a res, be prepared to wait outside. Not open on Sundays, their brunch is on Saturdays.
Emphasis on local here. They serve La Prima coffee and almost every dish on the menu incorporates ingredients from the burgh. Our bacon pancakes featured bacon from the Allegheny City Smokehouse.
Both our server and the owner were very friendly. I love that the owner was out and about in the dining area, interacting with patrons (all with a huge smile on her face!)
And a Bring Your Own Vodka Bloody Mary Bar? Total genius! Plus free coffee with a Yelp check-in.
