Eighth & Hays

If you have read my reviews before you know it takes alot for me to give a five star review. Beginning to end our evening was perfect. This was our first time here & took advantage of the Wednesday & Thursday night special of wood fired pizza & bottle of house wine for $40.(×2) (Take a look at my pictures and you can see our Pizzas) we ordered 2 upon the suggestion of our server. So glad we did. This is smaller neighborhood restaurant with a warm & intimate feel. It is 21 and over to enter the establishment. Service was attentive & friendly. Save room for dessert it was fabulous!Look forward to going back to try the chef board (charcuterie) & some of the craft cocktails.

The vibes are super cute and trendy inside. We came for dinner on a weeknight and were seated immediately. They also had a great weeknight special of $40 for a pizza and bottle of wine!I had the funghi pizza, which was pretty good, and their ranch was amazing.

My family and I took in a movie last night at the Waterfront in Pittsburgh and of course tasked me with finding the restaurant. I did a quick search to see if anything new has popped up since we've last visited the area and came across this restaurant. I'm not sure how long they've been in business but this was our first time. We absolutely loved it! I'm pretty picky with food since I'm constantly cooking at home and I have trouble paying for just mediocre cooking. I love salmon and have trouble getting it out anywhere without it being overcooked. I decided to take a chance when i saw the salmon salad on the menu. It was without a doubt the best salmon I've ever eaten! Crispy, screaming hot and cooked perfectly! Just doesn't get any better. The salad was perfectly dressed. The cheese. The pomegranate and apple slices with walnuts. It all just came together. My wife had a margarita pizza that I of course sampled and it was heavenly as well. I had an old fashioned to drink and we finished the evening off with the Italian lemon crème cake and an expresso. Great atmosphere. Warm and cozy. Excellent waitress. Just a great experience. Can't wait to return!

They have some really unique items on their menu which makes for a fun eating experience. My group are family style and for each dish at least one person at the table was a huge fan, and everyone else was satisfied. For all the goon lovers out there, the fried crab Rangoon sticks were a fun option and very tasty. The meat and cheese plate is always a crowd pleaser and made for the perfect app with our drinks while we waited for our meals. My margarita was refreshing and delightful, a perfect summer drink. The pizzas are great, while I was hesitant to try peaches on pizza I found myself pleasantly surprised and my fiancée absolutely loved it.

There should be negative star designations because of restaurants like this. This place is really that bad. They charge $18.00 for a salad. Yes - a salad!They also charge $18.00 for a 5" personal pizza!This is the old Homestead Eat n Park for those who remember it. When our group walked in - there was zero air conditioning on. As soon as I opened the front door a heat wave hit us. It was literally warmer inside than outside on a 70 degree day. To say it was uncomfortably warm would be an understatement. I was sweating on my upper lip and started to smell not only my armpits but the woman's armpits next to me. Adding to the warmth of the room was the blinding sun streaming in from the wall to wall windows. There are see through blinds to mitigate the sun a little bit but not enough for comfort. The blinds were woefully ineffectual in keeping the sun from burning the skin and blinding the eye. We moved to the most interior located table for comfort. This solved the sun problem. This had the added benefit of distance from the window should a drive by shooting occur. After all this is Homestead. The wait staff saw us fanning ourselves with menus so they announced that they would put the air on. It did cool down to where it was comfortable.We ordered 2 salads and 2 small pizzas. They are obscenely priced for their size. I returned my pizza. This establishment should be ashamed of what they're selling as gluten-free pizza. It was paper thin and burnt with 4 thin slices of cheese and a dollop of tomato sauce. That was $18.00! I should have photoed it and posted it to counteract the paid social media influencers who say this is a worthwhile place to patronize. It is not. My pizza tasted as bad as it looked. By the time the waitress came back to ask if everything was ok - my party was more than half way done with their meals so I didn't order a replacement meal. My colleagues were there to celebrate me. I wound up not eating anything at all and paying for the check as I didn't want them to have the indignancy of paying $122.00 for something this awful. The entire time I was sitting in this restaurant I was worried about the car out in the parking lot because of the high crime and very high drug use in this area. Our celebration was completely ruined. Go somewhere where your vehicle is safe, the food is tasty and reasonably priced and the decor is attractive. This place is not it. I don't post often but when I do it's always to post an abomination. 8th & Hays is as bad as it gets. I will start posting reviews of places I love to go to going forward along with the places to avoid. This place should be avoided.

Menu was simple, flavors of the food and specials were spot on. Above all, the service was great as the manager was the one who took care of us. Very personable and customer driven. If I lived in this city, this would be a place we would frequent

The pizza here is absolutely delish and so is the service. Mr and a friend checked it out and split a bottle of wine. They have specials on certain days where it's like half off pizzas and I'm here for it. Can't wait to check it out again as the ambiance is top tier.

Stopped in for dinner and ordered the special of a pizza and bottle of wine for $40. You can select wine from the house wine list except one or two. Wine list is nice variety and there are some more expensive wines too. Pizza was good and came out fast. Service was un-attentive but not an issue.

We hadn't been to eighth and Hayes in a few months because they hadn't changed their menu. But they changed their menu for the season so we decided to stop in last Saturday night. Everything was amazing. We were seated right away. Our server was great. The food was great. The drinks were great. A very lively atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

We are here a while ago but I never had the chance to review. It was super good service and a nice break from the chains that fill the landscape of Pittsburgh. This place has cool vibes and I have been trying to get back, will take my mom to lunch here next time I'm in the area for sure. We got a steak salad and pickle pizza. Both were good!
