Food and atmosphere is everything you'd expect from Pittsburgh! The service was mediocre at best. I get multitasking, however it was more less the server didn't pay any attention to what we actually requested at the table! It is okay, life happens! I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. It is so unique and good. The flavors of the Vegas is some of the best I have ever tasted in my life combined. It is a MUST try! Overall, hopefully everyone gets to stop in once when you are walking around the strip, split a pizza with a friend or loved one. I can assure you that I am making a stop back sooner than later. To the owners, you have a phenomenal place, keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!
Dank. I was pleasantly surprised to find what what I assumed to be a tourist spot was nothing but, and did hella justice to Pittsburgh Detroit-style pizza. I got the pickle pizza as a gimmick, and it just worked. The pickles were mild and made in house, and they complemented the ricotta dolloped on each slice. I got pepperonis on it as well, and those were high quality! The crust was thicc, which is my personal style at home and I was happy to see it done so well here. The outside has a nice char as well, just enough! I'm coming back, regularly.
We visited this restaurant because of a dear friend who has celiac. We ate here and maybe our expectations were too high. There was gluten free Detroit pizza which we are appreciative of. It’s just not our thing but I’m sure someone else will enjoy. We ordered two different pizzas but they were a little lackluster tasting. The chips were good! Wished they were hot/fresh. Would have been phenomenal.
I had the Classic Pie and the Garlic Pull Apart Bread, and both were excellent. The pizza had a thick, crispy crust with great flavor and a good balance of cheese and sauce. The red sauce on top was really well seasoned. The garlic bread came out soft and fluffy, loaded with herbs, and paired with a simple marinara that worked perfectly. It was the kind of bread you can’t stop eating even when you’re full. Overall, a great meal. I’d definitely come back
The best Detroit Style Pizza I've had in Pittsburgh. Detroit Pizza is square cut with a thicker crust with most of the red sauce added to the top of the pie. Visited here after watching a Dave Portnoy, One Bite Pizza Review on YouTube. Dave gave it a solid review which made me want to check it out. I'm Glad I Did! To summarize the pizza taste - it was very tasty and well balanced. The red sauce was tasty and very mild with no bite to it. The dough, although thicker than I usually go for was light and fluffy and tasted properly seasoned and was generally easy to eat. After my first visit July 28/2025 I would recommend this place. I'll update my review once I visit again. I enjoyed my first experience so I plan to visit again. This place is currently on my Very Good Pittsburgh pizza restaurant list. 👍👍
