Giorgio's Place

I work on the North Shore and late morning had a hankering for some good pizza for lunch. Looked up highly rated places near me and Giorgio's popped up with great reviews.Looked at the menu and they do sell by the slice, but decided to go with a large pie so I can have dinner leftovers.Called in my order, Nella was friendly and also efficeint on the phone. Was advised to pick up in 25 minutes. By the time I hot there, I was greeted straight away by Nella and noticed this place was humming making food and had customers already there eating in or getting takeout. That is always a good. sign on a Wednesday at 11.45am.Pizza was handed to me piping hot, first look in the box and it looked great. Decided to eat a few slices in the restaurant at the counter near the window overlooking Western Avenue.The crust is thin, crisp and was cooked perfectly. The slice had a good ratio of sauce, cheese, toppings and spices. It tasted very fresh, I ended up eating half the pizza, it was that good.I will definitely be back for lunch when at the office or on Steelers or Pirates game days.They have been here for 30 years and I am just now trying this good restaurant. The menu is extensive and I will be back to try other items next time.

Update: The great pizza and service at Giorgio's continues! The staff is super friendly, and the food is always is hot and ready to go when they say it will be. Definitely worth a try next time you're on the North Shore/Side.

Very good and large portions everything made in house. Busy place and are very proud of their food.

The chicken salad from Giorgio's was SO delicious that I ate it all before I could even remember to take a picture. I called to order for pickup and got my salad within 20 minutes. The staff was friendly and I would definitely order again here.

The food is decent. The service is ok. Plenty of seats so you can bring a group of people.

Small pizza shop on Western Avenue on the North Side. You can get slices of pizza with whatever topping you want. Service was quick and efficient. Pizza slices were really good. They have salads, hoagies, and calzones also available.

Decided to stop past after I had a rehearsal on the north side. I order a personal pan and 4 custom slices. The service was amazing and fast ,I am mad I didn't have time to sit down and eat because it definitely gives you mom and pop pizza shop vibes. My food was done in about 15 mins everything was piping hot and delicious. They really give you your moneys worth on the toppings that they give you on the single slices. I will be sure to return back to try more food! I didn't get a picture because I stuffed my face way tooo fast 10/10 for me all the way around,

It is either the best pizza in Pittsburgh or the worst. If you order it and it is delivered with thick enough crust to not require a spoon, it is the best pizza in Pittsburgh. However, sometimes it will arrive with paper thin crust that the melted cheese just turns into soup. If they could get quality control on their consistency, I'd give this place 100 stars. When they do ot, they do it RIGHT.

It was great quick pizza we had it right before football game start. They were quick and food washreat.

Giorgio's Place is good, but not wonderful. I stop in often for a slice and I've ordered a few meals and whole pies. Slices are usually very good, far better at peak times of course since it hasn't been sitting out for long. They have a tastier than average cheese mix. Good sauce, good crust. I'd call it 70% NY style, 30% Pittsburgh style. And I'm very glad that like any good NY pizzeria, they have shakers of garlic, oregano, grated cheese and hot pepper available.Now a couple pet peeves. They use ground sausage. That's a turn-off to me. The best sausage pizza in Pittsburgh was of course the great Vincent's Pizza Park with big juicy fresh-made sausage. And second, The woman who minds the counter (Giorgio's mama?) is often grumpy, and one time in the evening I went to buy a couple slices and she would only sell me one as she didn't want to have them make another pizza for slices though it was still half an hour from closing. Not very customer friendly.Bottom line though, 2nd best pizza North of Pittsburgh, after Badamo's, in my opinion.
