Looking for a fantastic pizza served fast and for relative cheap? Look nowhere else.
Campiti's is a hole-in-the-wall, formica countered, 70's-paneled, Pepsi menu board behind the cash register kind of place. There's not much seating, the t.v. is a tiny tube job from the 80's, and your pie comes on a piece of cardboard wrapped in a paper bag.
And the service? Well, they're efficient. They don't care if you like them, they just want to get you your food, and fast.
But who cares? The reason I make it a personal mission to go to Camps every time I return to Pittsburgh is the pie. It's thin and crisp, yet solid. Nice browning all over. The sauce is a well-seasoned red gravy that provides a tasty base for the copious amounts of mozzarella and whatever other toppings you want. Me, I go for the pepperoni - which is the type that cups up in the oven, forming little pools of fat - and anchovies.
It's spectacular, and reasonably priced. It is, honest-to-god, my favorite pizza place.
Worth the trip to the South Hills, wherever you start in Allegheny County.
