 There's a new place just down the road from me called Grand Slam.  It's
 pretty good.  They're at the intersection where Shady Drive E. turns into
 Castle Shannon Blvd in Mt. Lebanon.

 Yes, Claudio's Pizza at 1000 Greentree Rd (about 1/2 mi from parkway west
 exit) 928-8978. IMVHO, you shouldn't be disappointed.

 (Does Greentree qualify as South Hills??)

 I really like Little Nipper's pizza (the crust has a subtle smoky woody
 flavor), and Bado's is supposed to be very good, too. They are right
 next to each other on Beverly Road. To get there, go through the Ft.
 Pitt tunnels and take the Banksville Rd. exit. Banksville becomes
 Beverly about 4 miles or so beyond the tunnels,  just past the the big
 Rolliers hardware store. The pizzarias are about a mile beyond that, on
 the left in the middle of a little strip of stores.

 Hi,
 I'd say make the trip to Vincent's pizza in Braddock for the
 best.  I know it's not in South Hills, but you'll wish it were.

 I also recommend this:
 1 Boboli thick or thin pizza crust
 1 can Del Monte chunky tomato pizza sauce
 sprinkles of oregano
 cheese, etc
 bake at 450 for 15 mins.

 Awesome.

 I seem to be one of the few that does NOT like Vincent's Pizza.  I've
 eaten at the Vincent's on Ardmore Blvd. several times (unfortunately
 for me, my husband is a fan) and find the pizza way too greasy.  I
 also think it's very inconsistent; We've gotten half-burnt pizzas,
 pizzas with the sauce and toppings all off to one side (caused by the
 crust expanding like a balloon), and so on.  For some reason, these
 qualities seem to have attracted a cult following of sorts.  Go
 figure...

 I see that there is now another Vincent's on Forbes Avenue in
 Squirrel Hill.  How does it compare to the original Vincent's?

 After the flame fest about Vincent's that went on a few months ago, I
 tried the one in Squirrel Hill just out of curiosity. I was extremely
 disappointed. It was neither very good as some claimed, nor disgusting
 burnt crap as others did. Just mediocre, run-of-the-mill pizza.
 How boring.
