 > Where is pino pizza located in Pittsburgh??

 They are located at the bottom of Reynolds street, where it
 deadends onto Hastings.  They are near where Beechwood Blvd. runs into
 Fifth Avenue.   You can take Dallas (Northumberland, Wilkins and all
 those North of Forbes streets deadend onto Dallas) towards Penn.  The
 light before
 Penn (and the light after Wilkins and Dallas) is Reynolds.
 Turn left and go down the hill (approx 3 blocks) Pino's
 is on your right near the corner where the street runs into a
 hillside and you have to turn either left onto Hastings, or
 right to merge soon with Beechwood Blvd.

 This is getting to complicated...they deliver as well.

 to be fair i posted that Pino's food is pretty good, well it's begining
 to be a crap shoot these days, the last two times i went there the order
 was messed up and the food was burnt and not very tasty so just wanted
 to let you know that.

 I tried Pino's for the first time last night and their "Pesto Pollo
 gourmet white pizza" was quite good.  Not greasy and not over-thick crust,
 like some places.  The price was $13 for an 8-slice pie.

 Perhaps Pino's has the best pizza in Pittsburgh?

 The pizza is some of the best in the city according to my taste buds,
 don't know how yours will react, I like all their food though, I can get
 a really healthy meal there, when I don't feel like cooking.  As far as
 good business- all my friends and family of color enjoy it too, we
 especially like the Russian Guy that delivers it, he's great fun.

 Pino's ranks up there among the Burgh's best pizza places in thehumble
 opinion of me and my wife.

 We tried it a few weeks ago and I wasn't overly impressed. We created
 our own pizza and I asked for red peppers and mushrooms on my half.
 I think there were about four small strips of red pepper on the entire
 half, and not many more mushrooms. The crust was a bit dry, and
 I found myself wishing for a bit more sauce.

 They did have some interesting looking specialty pizzas, but they were
 quite expensive (for pizza, that is). In fact, the whole place was
 a bit pricey. If you wanted a Sicilian crust on your pizza, you had
 to tack on an extra $4; a Chicago-style crust runs an additional $6.

 They also had a fair number of non-pizza items (pastas, chicken, etc.).
 Can't comment on those, but I can say that they looked pretty tasty
 sitting on the table next to ours :-)

 Hope this helps,
