I love N.Y. style pizza. Could eat it every day. On a recent to trip to Pittsburgh I tried alot of pizza and this was my 2nd fave.
One thing about Pitt pizza... it is slightly different than true NYC style: the crust is not as thin and there's a whole lot more cheese. As a rule Pitt pizza also has a slightly sweeter tomato sauce. The sum of its parts is still a delicious close cousin to NYC pizza.
The pizza I tried in Pitt in my order of favorites:
Fiori's
Pizza Sola (Penn Circle Branch)
Pizza Perfecta
Aiello's (Murray Street)
Beto's
Save for Beto's, I thought they were all delicious. Wish I had a chance to try Mineo's. A Pittsburgh native friend of mine calls this his favorite but they were closed July 5th when I went by their place on Murray... I'll try them next time I'm in the 'burgh.
Pizza Sola had my favorite crust of all the places I tried in Pittsburgh. If you like your crust to have a little more crunchy char then this is your place. This pizza is more new school then old school as reflected in their choice of toppings and the decor. They are open late.
