Iron Born Pizza

Very disappointing experience for all of us. The pizza sauce tasted like crushed tomatoes with some salt and pepper added. No flavor profile on itThe gluten free crust was actually very good. Better than the normal crust in my opinionNot a place I'd recommend or return to. Overall not a good slice of pizza by any meansWe saw our waitress once the entire time sitting there as well

I definitely didn't think this one through, but my pizza was delicious. I stopped by randomly because I was hangry and needed something quick. Having never been, I didn't know it was a takeout counter only. Just a bench for waiting and that's it for seating. No problem, as I just wanted a couple slices in a hurry and would happily scarf them in the car. The slices came out quickly enough and were piping hot and fresh. They put them in a box for me and I thankfully grabbed a couple napkins on the way out the door. Once I got in the car, I realized my error - these are messy slices with sauce on the top. I ate them anyway and enjoyed them thoroughly. Word to the wise though - take your pizza home and use a plate. LOL.

Tried the white pizza and it did not disappoint. My only complaint was i could so with less of the caramelized onions or even none and maybe more tomatoes.Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the pie. At first glance it seemed a little small and pricey at $18=1 pie/6 slices but it was super filling!And the crust....the crust was perfect! Perfectly crispy on the edges, airy and light and not too heavy. Heaven in a bite. If you like pizza that isn't your normal plain jane pizza, try this!!! I can't wait to try more pies from here.

It's time to stop kidding myself. I like to tell myself that Neapolitan pizza is my favorite, but then why do I constantly end up running to any Detroit style pizza place that I find? It's simply irresistible. If you know, you know. And in the world of Detroit style, Iron Born is king. From the days of Smallman galley, I was hooked. A massive menu of insane pizza creations, both white and red tops....all sitting on the best pizza crust you'll find anywhere. The deep crunch of a Detroit pizza is unmatched. The Forager is a can't miss....garlic cream, roasted mushrooms, ricotta, and drizzled with honey. Hits the spot every single time. Iron Born is honestly the best Detroit pizza I've experienced anywhere, and that's included in Detroit itself. Although just a few times per year, I've been visiting Pittsburgh on business for almost a decade now. In the early days I'd try new places. I'm not ashamed to admit that over the past 5 years I have not had anything in Pittsburgh but iron born. It's that good.

Pizza? Phenomenal. Everything I have ever ordered from here has been amazing. Service? Eh, not so much. I normally do pickup to save myself the app delivery service fees. I walked in this last time and one worker was trying to leave and was arguing with a customer on the phone because he wanted something they didn't have in their computer, but had as an ingredient on their menu. From what I could understand he just wanted it on the side. The whole 5-10 minutes I was in there waiting (for my pizza that was done, and dying on a table) she argued on and on and then finally handed the phone off to someone else who more level-headedly explained the same thing, so she could leave. I stood there waiting for a while when either one could have handed me my pizza that was already paid for, and let me leave without having to stand there awkwardly while a disagreement ensued. Will I be back? Yeah. But I hope next time it's not weird.

Decent thick pizza served hot and fresh. Stopped here for the first time and our Detroit style pizza selections certainly helped to resolve our lunchtime hunger fix. Would have liked a little bit more sauce for the size of the crust and would like to taste a little bit more of a garlic or flavor seasoning in it to take it to that next level. Pizza pricing was decent and as expected. No parking was available and the spot in the Strip appeared with very limited seating but they did their best to move folks in and out with the busy Open Streets Pittsburgh crowd. They did have a mini bar with seating onsite as well.

Scrumptious pizza, consumed greedily on the steps of a nearby business, before a show at Mr. Small's. Staff so nice and helpful.

I had tried Iron Born years ago when Federal Galley first opened. Definitely a unique type of pizza. For me I guess it's just too much fried dough, with a lot of sauce but not much cheese. It oddly reminded me of eating Pizza Huts deep dish pie as a kid. I was never fond of Pizza Hut to their pie, but my mother loved the deep dish so that would be the pie we would get. We were at Grist House and the food truck wasn't drawing our interest so we decided to try Iron Born. I ordered online and my husband picked it up while I held the fort down at the brewery. Definitely convenient ordering and within walking distance was also a plus. When he got back I was a little underwhelmed. Again, I think it's just personal preference. There was nothing wrong with the pie. It was warm the ingredients tasted fresh, it just wasn't something I would seek out. Too much dough for me, but if this is your style of pizza I think you will enjoy it.

This pizza is so good. I got takeout and it came pretty quickly and still pretty hot! This is the first time I've ever gotten iron born and I was very happy. Although next time, I'm definitely going to be going inside to eat! It looks like such a cute spot to eat at.

I know some east coast pizza snobs who turn their noses up at this sort of pie and I'm just fine with that. More for me and anyone else who loves a perfectly doughy yet crisp Sicilianesque crust with a tangy tomato sauce There is not much that I can complain about with Iron Born other than eating it every day would probably kill me and I crave it any time I think about. Like right now. While writing this review. God I'm triggered.
