|
|
|

Description:
SQUIRREL HILL. Famous for its competition with neighboring shops, Aiello's "slings pies" using a no-nonsense approach. One of the owners, Pete, often chats with customers, and although he's good at small talk, don't let him distract you from the mouthwatering homemade sausage that's used on pizzas crafted with thick dough and smothered in cheese. After all, it's the food that gives this joint its well-deserved place on the list of Pittsburgh's best pizza parlors. |

DOWNTOWN. Italian has never been so civilized. Or at least so nice in appearance. Lawyers and judges frequent this judicially-themed favorite, but all are welcome in any of the three dining rooms, each with its own feel. The menu includes seafood, veal and chicken dishes.
