"You're not going to order one of those Ninja Turtle pizzas again are you?" That's the question I usually get from friends at pizza joints. Why you ask, because I like to pile up my pizzas with all kinds of good (and usually healthy) stuff to the point that a slice is almost impossible to pick up.
While Easy Street has an awesome looking menu, I went straight for the pizza and will go right back to the same thing next time I'm there. My basic, build your own pizza looked something like this....margarita pizza, easy on the cheese, with chicken, braised pork (first time I've ever had that on a pizza), hot peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, spinach and fresh basil (which was shredded and piled on high)...the whole thing was delicious.
It's the first time I've ever seen braised pork offered as a topping, but however the chef prepared it, I thought it was amazing.
The atmosphere is pretty cool too. The restaurant is at the bottom of Oxford Center in Pittsburgh and has a large dining room and bar area, as well as plenty of outdoor seating. A large garage door serves as a wall and in the summer is lifted up give that outdoor feel to the more comfortable, air conditioned dining room.
They've also got a great beer list and while I haven't been there for happy hour, I did notice that it always seems to draw a crowd.
