Veltre’s Pizza

Awesome family-​owned business ! Great pizza, burgers, and the best hoagies this side of the Triangle !!! I’ve been eating Veltre’s since the early 80s and they’ve only gotten better with time.
Pizza toppings are generous, the sauce is spicy without being overwhelming, and crust is crispy without being burnt. The calzones, sides, burgers, and salads, especially the steak salad, are all also very, very good — I’ve literally had every single item on the menu and never been disappointed !
Worth noting that the employees there and delivery drivers are always very helpful and friendly, and when you call an order in they’re always willing to help with suggestions or substitutions. You can also make special requests that they never shy away from — I’ve asked for garlic butter on my pizza crust, extra this-​or-​that, and for a few absolutely crazy pizzas and I’ve never been disappointed.
Bonus Points: They use Mancini’s rolls. As a Pittsburgher that’s all I needed to hear.

Delicious food and wonderful people. Pizza is truly one of the best in the city. Steak hoagies are delicious.

Cheeseburger was juicy. Wings seasoned to perfection. Can’t wait to order again. Fast delivery!

The pizza was pretty good, the wings also and the turkey bacon sub. was great .I and my family would eat here again

I’ve been to a lot of pizzeria’s in Pittsburgh. Every Yinzer has a place they recommend. And every time, I am disappointed because they all taste, smell, and look the same.
This place is a decent pizzeria. You can walk in and order. That’s about it. No place to sit and eat. But its a small shop and they do it right. The pizza I tasted, reminded me of a few spots in Manhattan. I took a biye, and felt like I was back in uptown. Its that pulling a slice off, and the toppings come right with it. That’s not a bad thing, IMO. That means, they load your pizza. So you are getting what you pay for.
Look, pizza is pizza. And everyone will have an opinion. But if you are in Tue swissvale/​Braddock/​Edgewood area. Go to Veltre’s Pizza.

RACIST, CLASSIST, or both. Great pizza, wish I wasn’t excluded for bullshit reasons.
They would deliver to me when I was a six minute drive away from them to my workplace in Wilkinsburg (which is located a couple of block from Regent Square.) Yelled at me «WE DON’T DELIVER TO WILKINSBURG» when ordering from my home which is also a six minute drive away but, four blocks from the regent squarish area of Wilkinsburg. I understand delivery cutoff points but, when I asked where these were: BY THE OWNER: «We just don’t deliver there… we don’t deliver to your street… I DON’t KNOW WHERE THE CUTOFF IS. WE JUST DON’T GO THERE.»
Ended up ordering from a pizza place in squirrel hill. And they deliver from a whole nine minutes away!

Best pizza around. Dough is fresh. They to die for pepperoni rolls. They use fresh ingredients. My favorite is the buffalo chicken pizza. Reasonably priced. They deliver to local area. You can also pick up.

Pizza was fine but nothing special. The salad I ordered was wrong, though. And beware of the prices: What’s on the website is wrong. And the manager and owner will say there’s nothing they can do about that (except charge you the higher price that isn’t on the website).

Great pizza. Grandma’s pie is an all time favorite!

Amazing! I prefer it over Vincent’s, as long as it’s veltre’s in swissvale! and it’s amazing!

After 17 years of only being able to choose between three pizza chains, I really appreciate little places like this with good pizza. The pepperoni pizzas are thin and greasy like they’re supposed to be, the crust is home made, the sauce is good, and the amount of cheese perfect.
It’s kind of sad that the other ‘V’ pizza place around the corner isn’t any better than the three national chains.

I’m picky about my pizzerias. I grew up with one place right around the corner from me and had to learn to love another place when I moved out of Pittsburgh. So when I returned to the ‘burgh too far away from my favorite, I was anxious to find a good delivery place close by.
Veltre’s has proven themselves to me over and over again. Their pizza sauce is better than the place I grew up with and the crust is always nice and chewy.
As to the calzone — it’s now a staple in my home. Lots of filling, excellent cheeses and the sauce is just about the tastiest I’ve ever had. Also, I’m vegetarian and my mother can’t eat red sauce. No problem — Veltre’s makes it for me with no sauce inside and a container of marinara sauce on the side. The people there are always very accommodating.
A large is big enough for three people with leftovers for one more serving. Some friends came over one night and we ordered four large — two meatball, one chicken and one of my favorite — spinach and mushroom.
My friends only managed to finish one out of the three they’d ordered (the meatball) and decided it was better than the calzone at Monte Cello’s — a restaurant they’d been going to for over fifteen years.
As to delivery time, I generally order a little later than standard dinner time and I’ve rarely waited more than 45 minutes for my order. The one time they forgot something, it took only about ten minutes for the driver to pick it up and drop it off.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that I’ve only ordered pizza and calzone so I’m not familiar enough with the rest of the menu to go full out.
Once I’ve moved on to a few other items, I’ll revisit this review and revise.
