Giorgio’s Place

This place makes the best pizza! I always get bacon and pepperoni toppings and its soooo freaking good. They also sell by the slice which makes it great when your on the go. The staff is amazing and hospitable. It’s a family owned restaurant and it’s excellent!

This place is dangerous because it is so GOOD. Favorite pizza in Pittsburgh. I love the Sicilian cut with mushrooms. I’ve even turned my coworkers on to this place as it’s our go to whenever we’re in the mood for pizza in the office. Giorgio’s now delivers to businesses and accepts cards!

Cash only, no delivery, and the guy at the counter can be pretty surly. Pizza is pretty good though. Not good enough to deal with the previous mentioned items however.

It’s great to have a go-​to pizza place in your neighborhood. For me, this is that place. I typically order a cheese Neapolitan pie or their house made gnocchi which comes with a salad and garlic bread. I have never been disappointed with either. No, there isn’t anything overly special about their pizza, but it is consistently good and what you would expect from a neighborhood pizza joint. The gnocchi are probably some of the best I have ever had. The only appetizer I have ever ordered in the jalapeño poppers which are nothing to brag about, but all the traditional Italian dishes are up to par. This place is affordable and of good quality, it’s also a great location for me. The Italian man who is always working the counter when I stop in is super nice and genuine. You can tell he is the kind of business owner who wants to know if something is wrong with your order which I can appreciate. It’s important to note they are closed on Sunday’s.

Never had a Italian sub that didn’t have capicolla. …honestly there was 4 cuts of meat on a half of a Italian sub… only 4 cuts of meat… the Sicilian pizza was good not great but I won’t order from here EVER again

I’ve eaten here many times over the years and like this place a lot. Unfortunately, I no longer work on the Northside so don’t eat here very often. I absolutely LOVE the 5 cheese calzone and the pazzo cheese steak hoagie. Just a step below is their stuffed manicotti. I’d give this place 5 stars except in not a big fan of the pizza. The dough is very good but I don’t like the sauce they use. Anyway, over all it is very good with friendly staff.

Food was okay, not great. We had pasta take out. We had called in our order, were told it would be ready in about 20 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later, and was told it would be a few more minutes. However, it was an additional 70 minutes before the food was ready! Several other people were also waiting for orders, some left in frustration. The woman taking orders and money apologized, blamed the delays on her son, but offered nothing more to compensate people for the excessive delay. We will not return, the food was not worth the wait time.

I would personally give this place one star, but as everyone else at the table enjoyed their meal, I’ll give it two. While deciding between gnocchi or tortellini, I asked the older woman working the front of the house if their tortellini was homemade as well. She assured me that the tortellini was also homemade and was very good. (I shouldn’t have believed her as her story kept changing from SHE makes all the food, to her mom makes all the food.) So excitedly, I ordered. The wait was forever in the small, sweltering hot, hole-​in-​the-​wall dinning room. And I knew from across the room as the waiter FINALLY brought my plate, that my dish was made from frozen, hard, tasteless, out-​of-​the-​bag tortellini. I was ticked. The meatball I added to the meal only made matters worse as it was bland and mushy. (An opinion all of us that had gotten the meatball shared. I choked it down after a few doses of salt and red peppers.) I will say their spaghetti noodles are ACTUALLY homemade and are pretty good — but good spaghetti without a decent meatball, in a hell-​fire-​hot dinning room is just not worth it.
Lesson learned here: had the front of the house been honest when I was ordering — I would’ve opted for the gnocchi instead and this would’ve been a positive review.
(Also if you’re going to boast about how your food is all homemade and made fresh daily. DONT CARRY FROZEN ITEMS ON THE MENU. AT ALL)

Great pizza! Great friendly service! So happy to have good pizza on the north side! Keep up the good work.

This place has excellent pizza and hoagies. Nice thin crust and super tasty sauce. And the reason for the fifth star is the customer service. I think I’ve met everyone who works there by now and they all make me feel special. They’re just so sweet. Check this place out – come for a slice and leave with a smile.

I live on the north side. I saw a gentleman who is part of the family that owns this place in the lobby of the YMCA. I asked about delivery because there are few good places for pizza in this neighborhood. He then told me he would never deliver on the north side because its so dangerous and he doesn’t want to get shot. This was an atrocious response to a pleasant request. They own a business in a neighborhood and they insult the residents. They will never get a dollar from me again and I will be loud about this experience.

Hands down the best pizza in North Shore. I choose Georgios every time when I get a pizza craving. No delivery and cash only doesn’t bother me, and if you want a good pizza it shouldn’t bother you either. My favorite is good old pepperoni. They use the little pepperoni slices so they curl up and the grease pools in the middle mmm mmm! This is the way pizza should taste! A+

Food is good. Not great. They do not follow their posted business hours so don’t be surprised to find the establishment closed at 830 on a Saturday when the door says 930. Also the staff is very rude. Especially the miserable lady that takes orders. She acts as if she’s doing me a favor when actually I could have chose any other pizza place in Pittsburgh. And I will!

Unfortunately for Northsiders such as myself decent pizza is almost impossible to find. The downtown delivery options all serve the same spongy crust topped with way too much cheap cheese style of pizza. That’s why when craving pizza I turn to Giorgio’s. The crust is soft and fluffy while still being crunchy on the bottom. They are very generous with the toppings, but are happy to make the pizza however you want (I like a little more sauce than cheese on mine). The prices are also great; my standard order of a 2 topping medium pizza with 6 wings is $ 14.
*A note on the wings, they are wing-​ding style (breaded then fried) so order them with the sauce on the side otherwise they get soggy.
Giorgio’s does have some drawbacks which result in me knocking off a few stars.
1. They do not deliver
2. They are cash only
In my opinion these are two significant inconveniences when it comes to a pizza shop. I have do some serious pre-​planning if I want to order from Giorgio’s. In general when I’m craving pizza I’m not in the mood to hop in the car, find an ATM, and run back and forth. If they at least started taking cards I would be happy… Come on Giorgio’s, let’s move into the 21^st century

We love this place for take out. For some reason everyone we tell about it never heard of it. I always get the chicken philly hoagie. It’s one of the BEST hoagies I’ve ever had if not the best. My wife always gets the gnocchi with meatballs and she is like an expert when it comes to gnocchi and she swears it’s the best she’s had even from high end Italian restaurants. Nothing fancy here just really good food and I love the staff who are always friendly. If you haven’t tried it you really should.

I want to really like Giorgio’s Place because it’s so close to where I live. But when all I really wanted was a deep dish pizza, I was disappointed. It’s probably my own fault, I was craving a deep dish pizza in the Chicago style. What I got was basically a pan pizza. Don’t get me wrong, it was good, but I felt misled. It is good to know Giorgio’s is here when I just want a slice, so we’ll call this first taste a learning experience.
Prices are reasonable but be advised this is a cash only establishment.

One of my favorite places to eat in the Northside. The Sicilian pizza with homemade meatballs is the best! The steak and bacon hoagie is really great too.
Very casual dining, but well worth it. Love supporting a great local business.
We no longer live in Pittsburgh, but I think about Giorgio’s often. They’re cash only, which is a bummer, but there is an ATM a few steps away at the Modern Café.

Came here while in Pittsburgh for work. Got the Pazzo Cheesesteak, very good. Ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza to go, it was excellent. Parking would be the worst part, but I’m sure the north east are is a lot different than Houston, not everything is in a strip center lol.

This place won’t appeal to most foodies (if any), but if you’re looking for very casual dining, unpretentious food that comes in generous portions served by unpretentious people, this is your place. These have to be some of the most down to earth, genuinely nice people around in the restaurant biz! They’d get 5 stars for that.
This is my place for local pizza or a baked fish hoagie when I need a break from my own heat n’ serve cooking and need something on the cheap.
Nothing but cool vibes here. Be sure to check out the photo of Michael Douglas while you’re there.

Casual pizza and pasta place. Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Great deal for the dinner entrees — about $ 9 for spaghetti and meatballs with a side salad and garlic bread. Nothing fancy — just simple but service has two thumbs up. Bathrooms and overall establishment are clean and spacey. My grips are that it is $ 1 for a refill and cash only.
