"3"^^ . "In a neighborhood where pizza shops seemingly go to die, Pasquale's is the latest business giving it the ol' college try in Aspinwall. Apparently they are a local chain of sorts, having five other locations scattered around the greater Pittsburgh area. Their Aspinwall location is right on Freeport Road next to the karate studio (because why WOULDN'T you want to smell pizza while you're working on your black belt, am I right?)\n\nAnyway, my husband and I decided to give this new place a shot a month or so ago. We ordered some very basic pizza shop goodies -- a large cheese pizza, some boneless buffalo wings, and cheesy garlic bread. We live close by and opted to walk over to pick it up, but they do offer delivery to the surrounding areas.\n\nThe verdict is that this is just another very average pizza place. Nothing special. The cheese pizza was good, but not great. The cheese was a little plastic-y tasting and the sauce was a bit bland. We did enjoy the thick and chewy crust, however. The boneless wings were baked, not fried, so they were not greasy, which is a good thing. And while they were sufficiently meaty and crunchy, they were sparsely sauced...in fact, about half of the wings didn't have any sauce at all. Shame, shame, Pasquale's! Lastly, the garlic cheese bread, again, was nothing special. I was hoping for a delicious, garlicky, butter-soaked bread bonanza, but instead was met with a rather bland, sparsely-buttered piece of french bread with some cheese on it. Sad trombone.\n\nOverall, I was not super impressed. They've only been open for a few months, so maybe they're still working out the kinks, and for that reason I might give 'em another try someday, who knows?"^^ . "2015-10-22T00:00:00"^^ . . "3"^^ . .
