In order to complete the "fancy burger" joint development in Pittsburgh I needed to go to Wingharts. I've been to Tessaro's for their standard one. BRGR for the Kobe Beef and Burgatory for a Bison. Ended up at Wingharts one Friday around 4:30. Having never been there the boyfriend and I walked in and didn't know if we grabbed a table if they had servers or what. So, we plopped down and waiting a good amount of time. We finally wondered since it's a bar if we were supposed to order up at the front. Our waitress appeared from outside (possible smoke break?) and came over and greeted us with a big personality and lots of helpful advice. The menu with a combination of burgers and fries and pizza is a fat kids dream. She advised us to get a little bit of everything and that is exactly what we did.
We ordered a full Mattola Burger to split, fries and a Margherita pizza. What we got was a lot of food. Enough to take half the burger and some slices of pizza home. The pizzas themselves could be tackled by a hungry person. Not ridiculously large and would make a filling lunch.
The fries were delicious. I took a bite of the Burger and was in heaven. All the other burger places were good, but this one was just so well done and simple. The pizza was very good, fun to watch the guy toss the dough right behind the bar. The feta cheese made it salty and oh so good.
Our waitress informed us that they were planning on opening a southside location as well, which will be great. Working in the southside this addition would make an awesome lunch stop.
I was blown away and when I'd read how good it was, I didn't expect for it to be THAT good. Run there now!
