The best gluten free pizza I have found to date!! How nice to have a whole section of GF items to choose from. I can't wait to be back in Penn Hills to order again. The crust is delicious

I really enjoyed the food I ordered, but my companion did not enjoy theirs as much. We tried the large pepperoni pizza and a cheese calzone. When I called, I realized they don't have a plain cheese calzone, so they just made me the Italian without any of the meat.There's a lady at the front operating the business. You may have to wait quite a bit to place an order over the phone, and she put me on and off hold multiple times, this confusing me a bit. When I arrived, she gave me a card for a free large pizza after 5 stamps. In the kitchen, there are some younger boys working the pizza ovens. They noticed that our order was made and quickly brought it to us.We typically prefer thin pizza, but this one was quite thick. It's a typical Pittsburgh style pizza. They aren't too heavy on the toppings. Fair amount of cheese and the sauce tastes good, not too sweet or acidic. Also, a large is quite big and not overly expensive. It's pretty typically, but we were disappointed by the thickness of this crust.My calzone, though, was very good. Dough is pretty plain and there's quite a bit of it. I would have appreciated a dipping sauce to go with it (most places give marinara for free). But, they stuff this calzone with cheese. Loads of ricotta especially. And, the portion is pretty amazing for $12.50.All in all, this isn't the spot to get thin and crispy pizza. It's just decent. But, their calzones are really good in my opinion. Not the best I've ever had, but I definitely enjoyed it.

Universal Pizza has the best gluten free pizza that I've ever eaten! Free delivery too... They also have fried gluten free dough rolled in sugar- reminds me of what my grandmother used to make for me. Best pizza A++++ Delivery person and the woman that took the order are super nice! Congratulations Universal Pizza on your customer service and best gluten free pizza I would bet that your other foods are just as tasty.

I wanted to try another local pizza shop as I did not like the one near my home after several attempts. ordered a medium extra cheese pizza with extra sauce. The people are nice, but the pizza was just so so. The cheese was baked in away that did not allow for stringy cheese but more like compacted cheese and there wasn't a lot sauce as requested. On the bright side, the sauce present did taste good and I liked the crust. I will try this shop again a few more times before I call it a dud.. and so should other people! Have a good weekend and a Happy Easter! :)

This is our favorite pizza place, and not only because we can walk to it. The pizza is always super cheesey and they have a wide variety of options. I've gotten a sub and a salad here too and both were filling and delicious. They are always quick and very reasonably priced.

In town for kenny wood and we went to a pirates game. We didnt really find anything we wanted at the game so we decided to get some delivery when we got back to the hotel and we found universal pizza. Glad we did. For 25 bucks we gather a large pie a dozen wings and a 2 liter. Everything was on point. Better than anything back home in wv. Wish we had it there

This place is no joke Penn Hillians! Best Pizza place in Penn Hills & beyond! This is a family run business and they are a great family! Always enjoy interacting with them! And you can eat-in as well! My kids LOVE this pizza! And the best part is that it is incredibly affordable! For what I get here every week (and I am a weekly customer), I pay HALF of what I would pay at the big pizza chains and I get WAY more pizza too!Try it! You'll see that this is the best pizza in Penn Hills! Hands down!!

Amazing crust; copious amount of cheese; and the kids loved the cinnamon sugar dough balls. Couldn't even tell that I'd had a gluten free crust

Dough is very good. Sauce seemed plain/bland. Good cheese but overall it is ok. It needs a sauce upgrade.
