I'm really happy that Spak Brothers exists for all my veggie and vegan friends. The other reviews here describe those delights well. But as a hard core carnivore - I will speak for the meat. After the Bloomfield Grown-up Puppet Cabaret (delicious!) my friends and I strolled down the block to Spak Brothers which I had been wanting to try for awhile. We ordered an extra large double pepperoni and an order of beef tacos to take home. My starving friend PK had a chicken parm sub immediately which he reported as terrific.
Now, take into account we were giddy from a puppet show but we loved the pizza and scarfed it down in record time! Boyfriend lived in NYC for 7 years and grew up in Chicago so is VERY serious about pizza. He liked it so much that we went back the NEXT DAY to get another pizza, this time half double pepperoni and half pepperoni and ricotta - YUM!
As an aficionado of mexican food (sadly missing in pittsburgh) I was excited to try the beef tacos. I have it on good authority that a true Taco King lent his recipe to the Spak Bros so I had high expectations. They fry their own shells which is great. The format of the tacos however was in a "kit" which by the time we got them home was a mess (10 minute drive tops). The beef was cold and stuck together with melted but now-cold cheese. They come with salsa, sour cream, and lettuce all which were fine. I wish the tacos were preassembled and made to pop in the mouth immediately or somehow temperature separated. I added my own avocado at home and enjoyed the taste sensation very much. Pretty darn good for Pittsburgh anyway and surprising to find in a pizza shop. Try em out. There are 3 per order for just under $6 and it's a good amount of food. Boyfriend wanted to share tacos when we ordered the next day so I ordered 6 tacos. When he made it back with two GIANT bags I realized they thought I was ordering 6 ORDERS of tacos. That's right, 18 tacos AND an extra large pizza. A good problem to have. Party anyone?
