Unique to Pittsburgh? I dunno. Fiori's is probably my favorite "only in Pittsburgh" pie.

Mercurio's is certainly the best pie in the burgh though.

I would consider those both to be classic kind of places of different styles of pizza. Unique to me starts with Sir Pizza and Beto’s type offerings.

I just learned this year that Beto's is "ohio valley style" pizza. It's from Steubenville and apparently a bunch of places in make it over there, and Beto's is the easternmost one.

I think it's great. I'm from Eastern PA where tomato pie (cold cheese-less Sicilian pizza) is popular. I always describe it as a toasted tomato pie with stuff dumped on it.

Tomato pie is the truth. I could crush a tray of Le Donne’s right now RIP

Yeah, not a fan of beto's lol. I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist.

If you are in the mood for pizza, you never go to Betos. You go to Betos when you're craving the need for Betos
