| - Fiori's has been one of my favorite pizza places in Pittsburgh, having eaten at the hole-in-the-wall South Hills location for several years.
I was excited to see this new, dressed up restaurant in Peters Township, and suggested to a group of friends we eat there for lunch since we were already in the area for an event.
The four of us ordered two small pies to share, but I was completely mortified I made the suggestion as soon as I saw our friends' pizza. They ordered a plain cheese, and there was literally a puddle of grease sitting on top of it. I understand pizza is greasy, but this was excessive. I could've tipped this pizza over a sink and had a small grease waterfall going. It took at least a dozen napkins for them to sop up what they were served, but still ended up eating a soggy mess.
Perhaps my friends were trying to be polite in eating it, but if it were my pizza I would've sent it back to the kitchen, something I rarely do. I didn't understand how the wait staff could carry that pizza to our table with a straight face. We mentioned it as he served it, but didn't seem to think much of it.
I still love Fiori's, but I don't think I'll come back to this location. The pizza here barely resembled the Fiori's I know and love.
