Fiori’s Pizzaria

Admittedly, I’m a pizza snob, I lived in Italy for a number of years and I’m hard to impress when it comes to American Pizza. All this thick crust nonsense drives me nuts — I want a good balance of crust, sauce, cheese & toppings not a mouthful of bread. Fiori’s delivers some TASTY pizza. Will I say that it’s the same type of pizza as Italy, absolutely not, but it’s still really freaking good.
I give it 5 stars because the pizza, but I would not recommend ordering their mozzarella sticks — less than stellar and for such a simple food item, I was surprised how bad they were.

Best pizza in the city, hands down. You might have to stand and eat it, but it is definitely worth it. The staff is always so nice and inviting, service is always fast. perfect crust, sauce is a little sweet, but I’m not complaining, and there is enough cheese on these pies to clog your arteries for the next 50 years. The best, the best, the best.

My favorite pizza place in Pittsburgh. Good fast service.

I order the double cheese (provolone) pizza. It was crunchy at the bottom, perfect melted cheese on top. Great flavor great quality. The tomato sauce was the lowest score that is why get 4 and not 5 stars. Still it’s a great pizza. Eat up.

If you want great pizza this is the place. Sauce is a bit sweet which is great and thin pizza and melty cheese makes it my first choice.
Just need to improve the seating situation

This pizzeria with the motto «We’ll fix you up» was recommended to us, so we decided to give this open-​late pie place a try. It was a trip delayed by wrecks on the Parkway and construction on the Liberty Bridge, but it was worth the trip. It was busy with most of the tables full and a line of people picking up orders. Despite that, the service was excellent; and our pizza was in front of us in about 10 – 15 minutes. The sauce was great with the pepperoni hiding and sharing flavor beneath the cheese that came away in those hanging shreds as we lifted the slices to our plates. I like a little thinner crust, but that’s just me. Give it a try sometime.

Yum. Honestly who can go to this place and not like the food? It’s just phenomenal pie! Heck it’s damn good. Go grab a pie, you’ll thank me.

Hands-​down this is one of the best pizza shops in Pittsburgh from the cheese the dough the sauce all the ingredients are fresh and I have never been disappointed there yet never any surprises they are consistent and always delicious.

Parking is a nightmare. Lines to order and/​or pickup may be long. Tables may all be full. It is cash only. And, it’s all absolutely worth it. The sturdy crust and gooey cheese help put this place in my top 3 pizza places. The pepperoni sends the pizza into another dimension, and their hoagies are pretty fantastic too (I ask for extra Italian dressing). If you want gourmet and a chic, modern appeal, this isn’t for you. It’s for those who want their tastebuds blown and to be left intoxicated by this pizza.

Hands down, my favorite slice in the Burgh. Staff is pleasant, even when you roll in at 2:30am and they’re slammed. Service is always fast, and you can call your order in ahead of time so it’s piping hot when you arrive. Dine-​in or carry-​out only. Spend the extra couple of bucks and get a side of cold cheese to top off your delicious slice of pizza heaven. Something about it, I can’t explain it, but it’s magically delicious (sorry, Lucky Charms). I’m sure someone will chime in with «cold cheese? why not just go to Beto’s?»
If I wanted a bunch of cold stuff on a piece of bread, I’d make a sandwich.
Fiori’s for the win.

As a Colorado native transplant and Bronco fan, this is the real deal… New York style in da burgh. the little hole in the wall Bar next door owns Fiori’s as is way cool. You can bring your Pizza over and have a cold one while you watch local yokels in Steelers t-​shirts play pool and talk about past glory’s gone by!

One of my favorite pizza places! Pizza, fries and hoagies all good here. Love the buffalo sauce on the side as well.

I hardly ever gallivant in the South Hills, but it was a rare weekend where I found myself having crossed a river and in need of nourishment. My trusty Unilocal app told me that apparently some of the best pizza in Pittsburgh could be had at this little storefront in Beechview, so I decided to give it a whirl.
First thing’s first. As other reviewers have noted, it appears that parking is a pain here. It’s located at the bottom of what looks to be a death trap of a cobblestone hill where you need to find a street spot and then hope your parking brake doesn’t fail you. However, Fiori’s does have like 3 off-​street spots directly beside the building… fortune must’ve smiled upon us that day, because we were able to snag one of those.
The inside is quite small and adorably old school. You can see the workers tossing pizza dough and firing up your food in their ovens, which I always love to watch. There are like 3 tables and maybe 4 booths in here, and this place is POPULAR. We went at 2pm on a Saturday and there wasn’t a table to be had (and many people waiting). It’s open seating, so if you come during a peak time, you’ve just got to shark a table and hope you get lucky (again, we somehow were fortunate and happened to be standing by a table that left right as our food came out, so we were able to jump on it).
You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you. We got some cheese sticks to start and then split a small pizza. Now, usually cheese sticks are cheese sticks and all taste about the same, but these were notably good! I don’t know if they are homemade, but they sure tasted like it. The breading was different than a typical from-​the-​bag-​of-​frozen type of cheese stick. The dipping sauce was unique… like a purée with no chunks (I actually prefer chunky marinara with my sticks, but this was still tasty).
As for the pizza, heed my advice: wait a couple of minutes before digging in. Both my husband and I destroyed the roof of our mouths because we didn’t realize how hot the pizza was. It literally comes straight from the oven to your table (which is awesome, but I’m apparently too much of a fat ass to realize that I needed to wait for it to cool off). Second-​degree burns notwithstanding, the pizza was tasty! This is the type of pizza that you definitely need to dab with a few napkins beforehand to soak up all of the grease that is oozing from it. They definitely don’t skimp on the cheese! The sauce is thin and has just a hint of sweetness. And the crust is crispy… the kind of crust that gives you that delightful crunch when you bite into it. That’s a nice change from the standard chewy crust that a lot of pizza shops in Pittsburgh seem to go with.
Is it the best pizza in Pittsburgh, like many reviewers claim? Well, pizza is subjective. It was definitely tasty and I’d go back the next time I’m in the neighborhood. But I have yet to find pizza in Pittsburgh that seems worthy of the «Best Of» title. Fiori’s, however, certainly holds its own.

Okay, I’m going to go ahead and declare it: Fiori’s is the best pizza in Pittsburgh. Now before all of you non-​believers begin slinging obscenities at me, just know that I realize that pizza preference is very subjective. But also if you don’t have a preference for Fiori’s, you’re wrong.
What makes Fiori’s the best:
1. There’s a gallon of grease on each slice
2. There’s 52 pounds of cheese on each slice
3. The cheese is dispersed evenly so that every bite is the BEST BITE.
4. The sauce is slightly sweet but not too sweet.
5. The crust is perfectly foldable while being the perfect combination of chewy and crispy.
6. The parking is terrible, so you know it must be good!
I’ve eaten in a couple of times, but we usually just get take out. Regardless, every pizza has been consistently delicious. Their spaghetti and meatballs are good too if you’re into that sort of thing.
A Love Poem for Fiori’s:
Ooey gooey pizza pie,
You’re the apple of my eye.
I love you more than any guy,
Don’t tell my husband, kthxbye

Simply amazing. I always wondered how Mineo’s and Aiello’s in Squirrel Hill could have a competitor that I’ve never tasted. Well, Fiori’s is the real deal. Awesome ingredients make awesome pizza.
When your focus is on Pizza, rather than how much real estate on Murray Avenue you can cover and what type of ice cream or cheesecake to carry, the result is amazing.
So, yes it is Ok to travel outside the comfort zone and checkout this outside pizza treasures (Vincent’s Rt. 30 inclusive)

Looking for good pizza in the ‘burgh? Well, you just found the best.
Fiori’s is one pizza shop that we go out of our way for. Their pies are always fresh right from the oven and you can see the crew make every one. There is some seating in the spot, but it can fill up fast on a Saturday night.
The pizzas are great just on their own with no toppings, but if you want to jazz it up the toppings are fresh and super tasty. You can even order a side of mozzarella to put on top of your slice! The hoagies are also fairly large and enough for at least two to share. I’ve tried the steak hoagie previously and instead of a white/​cheese sauce it comes with a red «secret» sauce which is really good.
So the next time you’re looking for pizza, stop by Fiori’s for a pie that will leave you coming back for more!

Why didn’t I come here before?
This was the only thought going through my head as I downed my cheese slice. This is currently my favorite slice in Pittsburgh, very similar to some great pizza I had in the Bronx. Other reviewers mentioned a slightly sweet tomato sauce and crust, and I didn’t feel the sweetness was remarkable. It wasn’t too salty, and the cheese was fresh.
There’s a few tables and some old-​skool arcade games. There’s an ATM inside the establishment.

It’s close, Fiori’s is consistently up for my vote for best pizza in the Burgh, but narrowly loses to Mineo’s. That said, every time I’m in the South Hills I craveeee some Fiori’s. Sweet sauce, perfect amount of cheese, and crispy crust.
The staff is incredibly friendly — prices are comparable to Mineo’s as well as a large is around $ 16. We usually go basic and get half plain half mushroom. They don’t pile on a ton of toppings and I actually prefer it that way.
Hope to try one of their hoagies at some point as well.

Here’s my take:
The Pizza:
— This crust, just a bit crispy on bottom, decent flavor;
— The sauce is on the sparce side, and tastes like good tomato sauce, not too sweet;
— The cheese is pretty standard, and was broiled until golden, which I like.
— Overall, there’s good flavor here, but it’s a pretty standard pizza.
The Setting:
— Cramped. Your order at the counter, and folks waiting for carry out (must be most of their business) just kinda stand at the counter, too, so you don’t know who is in line to order. New folks walking in from the street can’t get in the door.
— The booths are 75% scale, like they’re from England or something.
— The employees think they are nice, but there is an edge of intolerance here for newbies.
— Parking is very difficult — street only, and be prepared to stuff your car in front of a house and hoof it several blocks.

I stopped by here this past Tuesday evening with my wife and a friend for dinner. We arrived shortly after 7 PM to find this place absolutely packed. That meant that there wasn’t any good parking spots available and so we had to park halfway up Capital Ave which if you don’t know is a very steep cobblestone road. The good news for us upon entering is that we were able to snag a table which was great as it seemed like people were waiting for tables the whole time that we were there. The inside of Fiori’s is somewhat small and I think they have 4 booths and 3 tables for seating as well as a pinball machine in one of the corners.
On this night our party decided to be simple and we ordered two large cheese pizzas for our table. After taking a seat we probably waited around 20 minutes or so before our pizzas were ready for us. The pizza ended up being pretty good and I can see why people in the South Hills always rave about Fioris. My favorite part of it ended up being the crust which I thought had a really good crisp and a somewhat sweet flavor to it. The cheese was also really good and there was a ton of it. Last but not least was the sauce whose flavor seemed to get lost with the cheese and crust. So overall it was a pretty good pizza with my only complaint being that I could not for the life of me get the cheese to stay on the pizza while I was eating it. Every time I took a bite or tried to cut it all of the cheese seemed to come off the rest of the slice.
The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I really enjoyed both the sweetness and crispiness of the crust and thought that there cheese was good as well. Now if they can only do something about the parking situation outside.
