Pizza King

I have noticed that most of the «landmarks» and DELICIOUS places to eat (especially pizza) have very few reviews. I wonder why… If you have never tried pizza king and you like square pizza with a lighter crispy crust… GO! They sell pizza… That is it! They sell by the slice, therefore you can custom your slices to please everyone! THE PRICES are a STEAL!

Ive been eating here since I was a kid. Great square cut pie at a great price. If youre a fan of crunchy square pizza, i would recommend giving The King a try!

Have eaten many, many pie’s in my time… some real good but nothing compares to the original Pizza King in Munhall, Pa.

Note: CASH ONLY and no dine-​in.
Man there’s some little cubbyhole pizza places in the Pittsburgh area. This would be one of them.
Me and Lady Kay wanted to attempt a pizza crawl in Munhall after finding out about the 7 or so outlets for pizza in this fine neighborhood. It got whittled down to just the 3 on Main Street, which became 2 after one of them appeared to have been replaced by a Chinese restaurant (we could be wrong about that, but that’s how it looks).
The plan for this crawl (gauntlet?) was to sample a slice at each of the 7, but this evening it was just Pizza King and The Pizza Company.
Pizza King wins the duel. It was a square, cruncy crust reminiscent of Beto’s or DiCarlo’s aside from the fact that the cheese was actually melted. Black olives were our lone chosen topping. They don’t put pineapple on pizzas in Munhall if the 2 joints we tried are any kind of indicator, much to the chagrin my little-​flighty-​one. We were on a budget too and therefore kept toppings to a minimum, leaving out the bacon.
I waited for a bit while Kay sat in the car and got into a nice discussion about football and music with the young kid behind the counter and the older gentleman who was waiting on a pie.
Then in walked a cop!
«Oh I ordered the 10-​cut.»
Whew! lol.
I’m tempted to give a 5^th star, only because the aforementioned pizza maker, who couldn’t have been more than 16, complimented me on my Thin Lizzy shirt.
«Nice shirt. Cool, cool band. Shame about Phil Lynott.»
He had on a Van Halen tee himself. These kids today are all retro and junk.
And he knew Thin Lizzy, one of the most unheralded and sweetly melodic hard rock/​metal bands ever!
The pizza was good and the kids are all right. I can sleep well knowing this.
