| - Move over literally every pizza joint in Pittsburgh because there's a new king in town. The pizza Gods must have personally blessed Chef Pete Tolman because these pizzas are otherworldly.
There's no one in the burgh making pies quite like this. It's a Detroit style pizza, which boasts an extra thick crust that is somehow perfectly spongey and crispy in all the right places. It's baked in a cast iron square pan. But here's the kicker: cheese is spread over the edges of the dough and as that cheese bakes, it caramelizes and gives the crust an extra kick of flavor and texture.
My favorite so far is the basic (but who am I kidding, it's anything but basic) red pie. This may be a weird thing to say, but you can really tell that every single ingredient is high quality. The sauce, the pepperoni, the cheese, everything tastes amazing and all together it's basically perfection.
My next fave has to be the Fungi pie. I could live on mushrooms and cheese and bread so this is pretty much my dream pizza.
The white pie is a fan favorite: Garlic Cream, Caramelized Onions, Marinated Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula and Ricotta. The flavor combo here is striking. I'm not a huge fan of caramelized onions (I find them to be too sweet and over-powering) but I just scrape the onions off and voila! Deliciousness!
In case you can't tell, I'm a little obsessed with this place. I make my husband get take out from here on his way home from work at least every other week. I wish Chef Pete the best of luck and I hope to see him blessing the burgh with his pies for years to come.
