Pizza Taglio

I’m going with 4 stars because I don’t think I was able to take advantage of everything this restaurant has to offer. But overall, I had a good experience.
I came in one night to order a carry-​out pie. It wasn’t busy at all and they got started on my pizza as soon as I ordered. I forgot the name of it, but it was the one with an egg on it and I added sausage. My only two criticisms are the price relative to the size of the pizza, and the fact that it got cold really quickly. I’m certainly not an authentic Italian pizza connoisseur, but it was great! The most memorable part was that the crust was baked to a perfect crunchiness. The cheese was perfectly melted; it was a simple and very satisfying meal.
I really like that you can see the kitchen area where they bake the pizzas. Everyone who worked there seemed to be enjoying themselves, which I think created a friendly atmosphere. I’d definitely try it again.

This pizza is phenom! Their signature pizzas have the most unique combination of toppings and they are all shockingly delicious. Server was friendly, ambiance is relaxed, and I’m definitely a fan of BYOB. Highly recommend.

Love this place. Me and the gf have been here multiple times together. You can BYOB so you can grab a bottle of wine on the way! The pizza here is awesome. Gourmet, if you will…

Sorry :(There was fruit fly infestation while we were there tonight. At any time there were four or five flies on my wine glass. We wrapped up our food to go and got out of there. The food however was really good that we had at home and the service was more than apologetic. I just hope they take care of that.

My favorite place to get pizza in Pittsburgh! Great service, quality ingredients and fun relaxed atmosphere! I would recommend to try the Greenpointer and Jackie (with egg!) Amazing! Appetizers are really delicious as well!

I want to give it 4.5 stars, but that’s not an option. Sorry, Taglio.
Stopped in last night for the first time ever, tempted by the restaurant week special. Ordinarily I feel like $ 14 is a little much for pizza, but 2/​$ 20 was just about right to get me to give it a chance. Also, it’
The wait was 45 minutes for a table for 4, but I suppose that’s to be expected during restaurant week. We waited at the Livermore, which was considerably less crowded.
The wait staff was friendly and really helpful to me in navigating the menu to find vegetarian options. There are several, and they can do almost all the other pizzas without meat, if you’re into that. I ordered the cauliflower pizza because it was intriguing and seasonal.
It was SO GOOD. I loved it! The white base has just the right amount of roasted garlic, and the cauliflower is cooked perfectly (I was worried it might come out undercooked). The crust is perfectly chewy — I’m a big fan. The pizza did take about 25 minutes to come out, which I think is typical for a place like this. Taken together with the long wait for a table, we were pretty much starving when our food finally came.
Would I return? Yes, if I’m craving high-​end pizza and don’t mind the potential wait.

Back at my favorite pizza place for lunch after learning that they brought back the original Amatriciana pizza. Amazing. It’s not Pittsburgh pizza– don’t come here expecting Mineo’s or sweet sauce. This is real Italian-​style innovative pizza.
Insider tip: they have excellent anchovies if you ask. Also, get the fresh mozzarella if you’re there on a weekend evening.
Thanks to Tony for the great experience.

I stopped by on Thurs. evening around 7:30 with a friend for dinner. I’d been wanting to try Pizza Taglio for awhile. Given that my friend lives and works nearby, it seemed like a natural choice for a casual-​yet-​nice dinner to thank her for taking care of my cat over the holidays.
We started off with the arugula salad ($ 12), which consists of the titular vegetable plus grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls drizzled with balsamic vinegar. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasted good. As would be expected given the ingredients, it was reminiscent of caprese salad, but was more similar in composition to a regular salad. The size was large enough to share, as indicated on the menu.
For our main course, we decided to go with the Jackie pizza ($ 14). This is a white pizza with a cheese base (forget which cheese – apologies), cremini mushrooms, and prosciutto. We opted to get it with the optional duck egg on top (+$ 1), which was a great choice. Although the pizza is flavorful enough to stand on its own, the broken egg yolk adds an extra dimension of creaminess and richness that complements the other ingredients nicely.
Overall, we were pleased with our meal at Pizza Taglio. We didn’t bring booze (my friend was driving), but the people at most of the other tables did, given that it’s BYOB. Service wasn’t the most attentive, but was fine when we needed it, and our waitress was able to describe items and offer recommendations. One thing to be aware of is that the pizza isn’t super huge (about 14″ or so in diameter), and only contains 6 slices, so I recommend getting an appetizer/​salad or a second pie if you’re hungry.

In a nutshell: new, hip wood-​fired pizza joint in Pittsburgh. Decent menu, a little pricey. Pizzas were ok, but disappointing for the high price tag.
After visiting Paulie Gee’s in NY a few years ago, I fell in love with Mike’s Hot Honey, which is a chili infused honey. It is to die for on pizza. So when I saw that Pizza Taglio offered a pie (the Greenpointer) similar to Paulie Gee’s Honey Hellboy, I was dying to see if Pittsburgh would have its own version of my all-​time favorite pie. Not quite. Maybe there’s something about the preparation, but the middle of my pizza was very soggy. I’m ok with a droopy pizza slice, but this was very hard to pick up. Parts that weren’t soggy tasted ok but there wasn’t very much sopressata. You basically only got one, maybe two bites of sopressata in each slice. My husband got the margherita, which he thinks is a true test of the quality of pie because there’s no hiding behind fancy ingredients. Sadly to say, the margherita was not impressive and was pretty bland, overpowered by the flavor of cheese rather than the fresh flavors of a true margherita: the tomatoes and basil.
I have a feeling Pizza Taglio was trying to channel Paulie Gee’s with its use and sale of Mike’s Hot Honey, along with naming the Mikes Hot Honey pie the «Greenpointer,» considering that’s where the NY Paulie Gee’s is: Greenpoint. Unfortunately, I will have to go back to Paulie Gee’s for my hot honey & sopressata pizza fix.

This is the most ridiculously good pizza. I dream about my current favorite, the Jackie — prosciutto, crimini mushrooms and truffle cream.
Pro tip — order off menu, get Johnnie Boombatz (five cheese white pizza with mortadella).

Delicious brick oven pizza! Great atmosphere, small but big enough to bring 4 or more people without feeling overcrowded. Pizza options are endless from red to white. BYOB also a plus at $ 2.50 per person. This place could be one of the better spots in the city for brick oven pizza.

Good thin crust pizza, and probably the thinnest I’ve ever had. We ordered green pointer and carbanaro. The spicy and sweet flavors went well with each other. I really love it. The center did become a little bit of soggy after a while, but the taste was still good. My friend loved both of them and din’t notice the sogginess at all. I’m probably a picky eater. I discussed this with the chef and wondered wether that was due to too much sauce on it. He apologized and enumerated several possible reasons. It was really nice of him to cook a roman focaccia for me. I’d love to come back to try other flavors.

What a gem!!! Authentic Roman-​style pizza along with amazing appetizers. BYOB and the atmosphere is relaxing, just like Rome where you can sit and linger and enjoy. We had the arugula with tomato and mozzarella which was wonderfully fresh. Then we had cauliflower appetizer which was also very savory. 4 pizzas later, we were swimming in happiness. The Margherita pizza has an unbelievable sauce, and the Reds with meat are delicious. We also tried a white pizza with arugula and ricotta. Dessert included ricotta with honey and vanilla ice cream with marinated cherries. Felt just like Roma!!! We will be back again and again. Tony is about to install the wood fired oven, which will only make his carefully created dishes extra yummy.

Terrible, over priced
Rip off
Thin nothing on it
Store frozen pizza is better
Will never go back

Pizza Taglio, I love ya. I might have to say that this is the best gourmet pizza in the ‘Burgh. I went here for dinner with 3 friends and we ordered 3 pizzas to split (the best way to go if you ask me). The Greenpointer was a perfect mix of spicy and sweet! I was a little hesitant to try a pizza with honey on it, but the Mike’s hot honey was absolutely delicious. By far my favorite one that I tried. I just love how you first tasted the spiciness and then were left with a sweet aftertaste. We also got the Pino (fairly spicy, excellent if you love sausage!) and the Ricotta (great blend of mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and FRESH arugula).
The atmosphere was very cozy. Would make for a great date spot or out to dinner with friends on a cold Pittsburgh evening. Next time I go back I’d like to try out the Carbonara or the Cauliflower… Or both! Be sure to BYOB and I hear that you can ask for extra Mike’s hot honey, which is a must!

I had heard excellent reviews of Pizza Taglio and had been dying to go. With a spur of the moment decision yesterday I was finally was able to make it there for lunch. I’m a pizza lover in general but their Ricotta Pie was the perfect mix of cheesy goodness and fresh ingredients with arugula and roasted tomatoes topping it.
Glad I can now add Pizza Taglio as a new go to for me.

Pizza Taglio has amazing, thin-​crust pizza. The carbonara pizza, with a bright orange-​yolked fresh egg on top, was a real highlight and tasted exactly like a bowl of spaghetti carbonara, even though it was a pizza. Alchemy, I say. We also had the Greenpointer, with spicy soppresata and honey, which was a perfect combination of sweetness and heat.
A lot of other reviews mention Dinette which is close by. Having been to both, my advice is to bypass Dinette and go straight to Pizza Taglio.
Make sure to remember your wine — it’s BYOB.

I was really impressed with the pizza at Pizza Taglio. Dare I say I think they’re better than Dinette around the corner?! But based off my first experience @ Pizza Taglio I would say they are much better. Their menu is pretty simple, no appetizers or salads, just pizza. The selection is broken up into white and red pizzas, and you have about six different pizza choices for each. There’s only a couple vegetarian pizza choices, but really any pizza can be made vegetarian if you eliminate the meat.
My husband and I split 2 pizzas, the cauliflower & speck mato without the speck (so it was vegetarian). Both pizzas were amazing! So much flavor! I liked the cauliflower just slightly more. The Mikes Hot Honey was a nice touch.
Their prices are really good for the size of pizza you get. The pizzas are pretty decent size for one person, chances are you’ll be able to bring some home. Service was great, everybody very friendly.
Can’t wait to go back and try some more pizzas. Pizza Taglio is a must try ASAP!

Adorable little pizza joint in the Shadyside/​Bloomfield area. Cute, somewhat authentic and hipster ambiance, with pizzas made right in front of you. Keep in mind that this is a little upscale, $ 12 – 16 for a 15-​inch, generally light pizza. BYOB, so bring a nice wine to pair with it.
Pros: nice, open atmosphere. Good service, Giuseppe was very friendly. I got a Carbonara pizza, which I can’t recall exactly the kind of meat which was on it, but had no tomato sauce, an egg yolk, some really good cheese and some Italian meat similar to bacon. The chef offered to add more yolks if I desired, which I later asked for. So, authentic, unique Italian food, to say the least.
Cons: They only serve pizza, which makes sense. But nothing else. I heard that they possibly serve cannolis other days. Hipster atmosphere. Expensive price for a pizza. If you observe kosher or halal rules, I’d be wary of this place… halal especially, the only meats they serve are pig ones, it seems. So expect to be surprised, don’t look for something like your average Papa John’s or Dominoes.

There’s a spot within the block around my building that I enjoy! It’s a pizza miracle.
+1 and I ran over here on a rainy weekday as we’ve been meaning to come over since they opened. I’m typically a little sketchy about places that I’m unsure of how they operate. Is it table service? Yes. Can you come in and get a whole pie to go? Yes. Well, maybe – I tried to do this Saturday night and was turned away (in the nicest, «I can ask Tony!» kind of way) because of a short supply of dough – call ahead. At least this past week, immediately, we were greeted and told to sit wherever. This super friendly staff member let us know it is BYOB so you are damn right I ran back across the street in the rain to grab a bottle. She also explained the menu of few white pizza, a few reds, and how most people eat at least half a pie. I already knew I was getting my own. Amateurs.
I naturally had the ricotta pie. White sauce on some serious dough, crushed cherry tomatoes, piles of ricotta, and topped with black pepper and arugla. Woof. Right? I’m gonna go broke with this being across the street and thirteen a pie. +1 had the ever popular Greenpointe which included some huge slices of spicy sopressa (or maybe soppressata?) and that hot honey over red and mozzarella. I, eating around the sausage, even liked it. They were perfect, if a bit underdone in the middle for a few (but seriously, just the way I would want them).
The service stayed great, although a tiny bit hovering. At least three staff members and Mr. Giamarita came by to make sure everything was done well. We genuinely had a great time (with our entire bottle of wine gone).
Please make note this is «Roman» style pizza. They’re cooked longer, giving that crispy outside with everything melted and ready to go in the middle. This means you won’t get the flat grease by the slice you’re used to and it’s going to take a bit more time. Patience (and pizza!) is virtue.
