The Best Pizza Places in Pittsburgh
National Pizza Day is coming up on Sunday — the same day as the Super Bowl! To celebrate, we’re resharing our conversation with Dan Tallarico, Pittsburgh’s premiere pizza journalist. He’s telling us all about his favorite local spots, recommendations for specialty slices, and places worth a drive. Plus, where to get vegan pizza, classic cheese, thin or thick crusts, and even his pick for the best frozen pie.
You can subscribe to Dan’s newsletter on Substack and find more of his pizza expertise on pizzawalkwithme.com.
