I believe that most of the people who rated this Restaurant below 4 or 5 stars just didn't understand what this Restaurant was. Someone below commented that the price point was too high because similar products were being offered for a lower price elsewhere. For that person, I say this: You're wrong. There is now and never was anyone in the city of Pittsburgh doing what was happening at that bakery. No one else has gone to effort of sourcing the best possible ingredients to create the highest quality product possible. Whether it was the perfect tomato from a neighborhood backyard, olive oil specially imported from a small company in italy, or the various local PA wheats that were trialed, Bread & Salt never compromised. No one else would be able to successfully ferment a sourdough loaf(no yeast) for 72 hours at 90% hydration to create a loaf with a beautiful hard crust and delicate custard-like center. No one could coax the best possible flavor out of their ingredients with at times little more than vinegar and salt. Knowing the story helps, but if you couldn't put this food in your mouth and understand why it was so much better than anything else Pittsburgh ever offered, it just wasn't for you.
