Rialto is my go-to place for pizza in the East End of Pittsburgh.
I love the options at Rialto: pizza to sandwiches to salads to appetizers to desserts and more. The food is high-quality and the service is always prompt and polite.
On a recent visit I ordered the tossed salad (cuz veggies are important). I was pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't the standard pizzeria salad (ie iceburg lettuce with whole black olives). The lettuce was crisp and fresh (a nice green leaf lettuce) with peppers, cheese and a breadstick.
We ordered a small personal pan for the kiddo and a Sicilian pizza for ourselves. The Sicilian was great - a great crust with a perfectly seasoned sauce.
Here are a few of my tips:
- Come for the pizza, stay for the rest. The menu is big and everything is good. Why not get something in addition to your pizza?
- Rialto's has a surprisingly great beer selection. Bring your ID, cuz pizza and beer are fantastic.
- Leave a few minutes early if you are picking up. Parking is limited.
- Get the pirogi pizza. Its amazing! Why should I even have to tell you this?
