Wilson’s BBQ is reopening

Submitted by dementedturnip26 t3_115jd0j in pittsburgh

Awesome! Apparently at the corner of Perry north and Charles. New signage is up.

When we lost the O and Wilson’s so close together it was killing a part of really my childhood here. Getting one back is a huge win…let’s do the O next.

Glad they are reopening. Wilson's is an institution.

I didn't realize that was a continuation of another business. I take it the food was good?

I'm close enough I could probably hit the side of their building with a rock and I've been watching that building go from "Wow, why has that not been torn down yet" to "Huh, someone could move in there tomorrow" over the last year and a half.

Ribs, yes, but the chicken was where it's at!

Yeah my wife told me about this and I’m pumped. Is it gonna be Perry Hwy and North Charles by the Perry Market? Or closer to baytree?

Yeah, it's at the intersection of Perrysville Avenue and Legion, just over from North Charles. So it's Perry Market, the old theater, empty lot, Legion, then Wilson's on that side

Capriottis, which replaced one part of the O, went out of business recently. Maybe we can get a spiritual successor in there

That didn’t last long. The places that went in there are highly disappointing

I argue viva is far worse. Capriottis tasted fine it was expensive as hell though (which is probably why it went out of business). Viva is doing well, and will probably continue to now that mad Mex is out of the picture

Best news I've heard all day :)

Does anyone know if they're already open?
