Uno Pizzeria & Grill

I do like this place. The pizza is really good, and is significantly different from most, if not all, of the other pizza I have had in Pittsburgh.
DISCLAIMER: This is NOT full-​on, proper, Chicago-​deep-​dish pizza. I have been to the original in Chicago, as well as to Lou Malnati’s, Gino’s East, and Giordano’s, many times, over the years. If you want real Chicago pie, you will be disappointed with Uno’s «deep dish» product.
That said, it’s still really good in its own right. It is pricey, but it is pretty thick and will fill you up, so you will not eat as much as you think (so is it really expensive?).
Service is pretty good, the restaurant is large and accommodates big families and groups well. The side-​salads are fresh and good. They have lots of easy parking.
So overall, it’s good, and fit’s Unilocal’s description of 3-​stars: «A-​OK.»

I’ve come here on many occasions, my food is usually great! It can be greasy but usually still very tasty. I was very disappointed today however. We got the Shroom pizza. They didn’t even use fresh mushrooms, obviously canned… c’mon Unos, GET IT TOGETHER!

Love the honey crisp chicken salad. It’s my go-​to dish here. I actually crave it. Nuff said. You can feel free to order pizza. I’ll stick with my salad.

I used to come here a lot about 4 – 5 years ago. But then I stopped for one reason or another.
I came back again tonight after the long hiatus, and I was disappointed. The deep dish personal pepperoni pizza wasn’t very good — the sauce tasted bland, the crust tasted oily and a bit overcooked or stale, and there wasn’t much flavor to the cheese. I haven’t been feeling well and thought it might just be me, but my husband tried it and said the same thing. He also said his chicken parmesan sauce tasted bland.
I feel bad — it was a little like looking at an old Taylor Swift album you used to love five years ago, except now you realize the songs were sappy and she looked completely different. I used to love Uno, but it’s not at all what I remembered it to be.

Met my family here after work on a weekday. Not many people dining here at the time but our dinners seemed to take longer then they should have considering not very busy. As we were waiting on our pizza the waitress handed us a trivia game console to use. We played 2 games of trivia and the game of life. The pizza came and the crust was very dry and not much flavor to it. When we were presented with our check we noticed a charge of $ 1.99 that we didn’t know what it was for. When we asked what the charge was for they charged us for the games that we played on the console that they gave us while waiting for our dinner. I have never heard of anything like it. I wonder how many people used the games and were charged the fee and paid it without noticing it on the bill considering it was hidden discreetly in the middle of the bill. Then when we were ready to pay the bill with cash. We couldn’t get our server to come and take payment. Was very disappointed. It will probably be awhile before I go back if ever.

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday, small crowed for 12:30 on a football day, our server was very friendly, took 5 try’s before I found a beer that they had in stock but we made it, I’m crazy when it comes to craft beers and trying the selection you have but keep them in stock it’s not that hard anymore, had the 2 for $ 12.99, I had the Chicago classic and Italian salad both out standing salad was very large and pizza was just the right size for a lunch, all in all great place for lunch just buy some beer

The only reason to come here is because it’s a fun place to eat. It sure isn’t the food.
Too much dressing in a salad that didn’t even fill the bowl. Like so many before it, UNOs is making me leave hungry. It was a salad with Walnuts, Goat Cheese, and Blueberries, and while it was good, there was absolutely no value in this meal. One of these days I will learn to stop eating at big chain restaurants, kind of like not shopping at big box stores.
It’s a nice atmosphere and generally crowded and loud. Some would call it fun and I think it is. But, sometimes it’s worth a little extra to get what you really want and need in a meal. That’s what adds value.
In the future these places will be relegated to the last ditch effort when nothing else is available. Only in a pinch.

This was my first time at an uno’s in about ten years. My kids ordered pizza which was just ok. I however was pleasently surprised with what I ordered, the bbq firehouse chicken sandwich was absolutely awsome. Two big thumbs up for the sandwich. Wait staff was friendly and attentive.

Nice place to grab a bite and a beer. Service is quick, friendly and accurate. They’ve got a respectable selection of craft beers and the atmosphere is very clean and comfortable. Good view of the TV from any angle in the bar area (watching a Bucco’s game at the moment) and the bar itself is full service. The Baked Stuffed Spinoccoli chicken that I had was delicious. I have no idea why I don’t come here more often… I should!

Possibly the worst overpriced pizza there is. Nearly $ 20 for a pepperoni pizza for two would be okay if it were good. Crust is extremely dry and unflavorful.
If you want a good deep dish pizza, try Burghs Pizza and Wing pub in Bridgeville. Their deep dish is thicker, tastier crust, better sauce, and a lot more cheese/​toppings. Cheaper too.
Service was just barely adequate on this visit.

My kids who are 3 and 5 ordered the make your own pizza. I initially had some reservations but it was actually fun for them and tasted pretty good too. I’d suggest it for anyone looking to do something sorts cool with their kids for dinner.

I am glad that Western Pennsylvania has one remaining outlet for the great Chicago-​style deep dish pizza offered by Uno, its pioneer. Dining here brought back memories of an excellent meal I enjoyed in Chicago last month at Uno subsidiary, Pizzeria Due.
The restaurant is attractive and comfortable, and the outdoor seating by the river a delight. The tables outside, though, are too close and if all are occupied, one can hear every word of what is said at neighboring tables.
The spinach and chicken pizza, appetizers of zucchini chips and spinach and artichoke dip were all delicious, but the zucchini was extremely salty.
Our server was pleasant and attentive, performing many quality checks. $ 20.99 is a lot to pay for a pizza, but the deep dish pies are hearty and plenty for two people. $ 7.75 for a small glass of house wine is excessive. The $ 4.99 tariff for the single serving appetizers was fair for the quality and the portion sizes.
The weak link was the young lady who seated us. She was glum, unfriendly, and without a smile. Instead of saying «Enjoy your meal» when seating customers, she says, «There you are.» How a customer is greeted can set the tone for a meal and this is an important facet of the front of the house operation. At The Cheesecake Factory, the host staff is trained to engage the customer in pleasant conversation while leading the guest to the table. The individual at Uno got us off to a poor start. A nice touch would be for a manager to provide a quality check and make the diner feel welcome.

How does this place still exist of every place on the waterfront!
I won’t lie, I do like their Lobster Bisque but every time I’ve gone it’s just over priced, average quality with semi ok service.
Skip this place all together and get pizza at Pizza Company and take it home.

I would write anthems, poems, novels about their pizza.
I’ve dreamed of their pizza since I was a child. My only encounter with my beloved Uno was when my mother came home with a take out box that she ordered for lunch that day. I would scarf down the thick wedges of pizza and greedily pick off the loose toppings from the box. The cold 4 hour old pizza has since plagued my mind. I desperately tried to find an Uno but found that the nearest one had closed down. CLOSED DOWN. My dreams were crushed, my psyche disturbed. I had become a changed person. I wanted more. I needed more. My mother stopped coming home with Uno take out boxes. I stopped eating pizza. I hated the flimsy crusts that were just cheap variants from my beloved Uno, I despised the New york style that you could so easily fold. Feh, I would resign from eating pizza till I had my precious. My precious, my Uno deep dish.
It wasn’t until that fated day when I drove past an Uno. The neon lights called out to me, it was like seeing heaven for the first time. I stumbled into the Uno. Dazed, the smell was like nothing I had ever experienced on this green Earth. There was nothing I could compare it too. I sat down and ordered the Numero Uno with a side of fries. «No not personal… Regular.» I wanted the entire thing, not just a wedge of a dream. I wanted the whole thing.
It came out, steaming. Bubbling. Oozing. Fresh. So fresh. I took a bite — the cheese was perfectly melted. And then another — the dough was so thick and tasteful. And then another — ooh that sausage…
Until there was nothing left.
I had achieved my dream. But I will be back for more. I will be back. for my precious.
But the fries were mediocre.

For an upscale chain, Uno actually left a decent impression on me. It’s certainly much better than say Applebees. The prices are a bit high, although they seem to have all sorts of different daily or late night specials all the time. For our part, we came here because we got a random $ 10 gift card in the mail.
The menu was pretty extensive, and it was difficult to narrow down our choices to anything. In the end we chose to go with their nominal Numero Uno deep dish pizza, along with the Chicken Spinocolli pasta. Our waitress tried to ask us to order more, though she wasn’t overly pushy. The food was pretty good. I was surprised at how filling the deep dish pizza was, despite its deceivingly small size. The individual portion was definitely enough for one. The pasta came with a stuffed chicken breast full of cheese, sauce, and vegetables. All the while I was eating it, I felt guilty for my arteries but enjoyed it so much.
I’d probably deduct a star because of the lack of service we got after the food arrived. Our waitress checked on us once, but it was quite a while between us finishing and her bringing over the check. It was near closing time so there weren’t as many people around, but she was nowhere to be seen. Maybe it was just a bad night.
I will probably make a note to try the steak and/​or flat breads next time. But overall an okay place.

It gets 5 stars cause it jogs up a memory. Back before Pizza Hut turned into a fast food restaurant, the Pizza Hut my grandfather used to take me to was a really nice restaurant. And this location has the same look and feel as the old pizza hut before it went take out.
So this is the old style pizza hut.
Very family orientated dining style. You can sit here for hours. And so we did. We had a heap of use in a long table.
I ordered one of the small pizzas which were buy 1 get one free. Disappointed in the selection of that. Seeing other choices… I regretted going on the cheap.
Prices are moderate. 12 for a little pizza… but with all the dough, you get full. Can’t say I walked away hungary. Nor did I finish my second mini pizza.
I want to come back and get that spanich fetta looking pizza!

Well, it started well. Food was okay. Deep dish pizza was good. But the salad we had — too tiny portion!!!
We were greeted and seated well. But later the service was not all good. Bad bad service. First of all we had to ask for everything we wanted. The server didn’t even had courtesy to ask if we wanted anything more or would like to go for deserts. She just handed over the check when we even didn’t ask for it (we wanted to order more).
Later when we talked about this in the front, the girl there also just listened and said «okay», not even a sorry once!!!
I would not like to go there again… :(

My friend and I have never eaten here before so last night we decided to check it out. For a Thursday it wasn’t that crowded and we were seated promptly. There were plenty of flat screens and warm lighting that made the place cozy. We ordered a thin crust pizza: on one side there was chicken, hamburger and pepperoni (for him) while the other side had just pepperoni (for me). I was expecting the pizza to be bland and warm but it was surprisingly hot and savory. I even tried a slice of my friend’s pizza and the hamburger and chicken were moist, not dried out. This wasn’t bad for a first visit so I will definitely be back in the future to try more menu items. I’m only giving Uno 4 stars because the waitress brought us a plate that still had old food stuck to it. Hello! The plate was yellow! How could she not have seen that?!

Pizza is a staple for me. I love everything about crunch crust, a nice rich tomato sauce, and a thick layer of melted cheese. I have never tried Chicago style pizza before and when we had to rescue our friends from car troubles, Uno’s was right there so we decided to try it out.
Only a 30 minute wait for a Saturday is pretty good for any restaurant in the Waterfront. We were seated at a booth in the bar area. The tables were clean and it was a big booth so the four of us were not squished. Only complaint, the bar was loud and when they did blended drinks you had to pause your conversation because the blenders were so loud. Good news, only happened twice!
The four of us decided to order two pizzas, the Pepperoni and the Farmers Market. I also ordered a Caesar salad because I needed more vegetables in my life.
The salad. It was a big salad that I shared with my boyfriend. The croutons were huge and very crunchy. The Caesar dressing was not creamy, it was vinegar based and had a little bit of a «bite» to it as Chris kept on saying. I thought the bite had more to do with the vinegar than anything spicy, but who am I to say. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy and they even added tomatoes like I requested.
The main dishes came out about 10 minutes later. I do not know what I was expecting but the pizzas were not as large as I was imagining. Two of the larger pizzas looked like personal pizzas to me. But!!! I was soon to see that even if they are a bit smaller they were filled to perfection.
The Farmers Market pizza had caramelized onions, spinach, SUN DRIED AMAZING TOMATOES, regular tomatoes, eggplant, pesto as a sauce, and a blend of cheeses. The crust was perfection being so crisp and light that I stole Chris’ extra from his plate. The sun dried tomatoes were great adding just enough sweetness to the pizza that I went looking for the slices with the most on them. It was a really really good pizza. We even ended up taking slices home with us! My eyes deceived me at first with the size!
Then our friends told us that we had to try the cookie pizza. Cookie pizza? What sorcery is this? Matt, the one who suggested it said that we would not be disappointed. This cookie came out in a really large, bigger than our pizzas, dish. It had three scoops of icecream on it with a pile of whipped cream. WARM, right out of the oven, fresh cookie pizza. Oh sweet heavens, it was good. I am glad that I had enough room in my stomach to pile in that sweet goodness.
Chicago Pizza, I would absolutly try again.

All in favor of a deep dish pizza say I… IIIIIII, ok now that i have that out of my system. This place is such a great hangout/​eat-​in spot. I hadn’t been here and years and some friends invited us out for the evening. I was so glad they were paying cause I was low on funds at the time.
We arrived on a friday night and of course it was busy there. We waited about 10 minutes to get a table which wasn’t bad considering the crowd. We looked over the menu and they have so many great choices. Pizza, pasta, appetizers, seafood, burgers, salads and sandwiches.
After ordering two mango lemonades that were wayyyyy over sweetened we ordered our food. We both are going gluten free which is tough but UNO’s gave us a nice selection of dishes to choose from. Plus! They make a thin crust gluten free pizza which taste great. My hubby ordered the mediterrean thin crust because he loves kalamata olives and I ordered the Guac-​alicious burger with a Caesar side salad. My salad came out pretty quick which was nice but it had a little too much dressing on it. I didn’t complain, it still tasted great.
I’m not into red meat so I tried to order a black bean burger or get chicken instead of beef, but the ran out of black bean and they couldn’t get the chicken so i just ordered it anyway. The burger was piled really high with all the toppings including guacamole and it was very creamy but i couldn’t get over the taste of the burger because it just didn’t have any flavor. Very saddening. I ended up just eating the veggies and discarding the meat. I snacked on some of my hubbies pizza even though it was only a small amount.
We came here twice in one week. The second time we ordered the 9-​grain deep dish with mushrooms, parmesan and a garlic white sauce. Was this pizza amazing or what? I will probably always eat this pizza whenever I come.
Only down side is slow service. It took 20 minutes for our pizza to come out and my hubbies was a little over cooked. He got the número uno which was ok but mine had way more flavor!
