In the late 1900s there was a pizza joint called the Unique Pizza Factory on Grant Ave in Millvale. I don’t know if it was truly unique or not but god damn if I didn’t love their mashed potato pizza on visitation weekends with my dad.

Is this how we're referring to the 1990s? Because I'm all for it.

There are kids on TikTok referring to it as that, and I almost had a stroke the first time I heard it

I remember the Southside one too. In particular, I remember it because the building looked like it was originally an ice cream stand and I thought that might be why they called it Unique. I had no idea it was actually a chain.

It was definitely a small local chain of some sort but not a national franchise or anything. The mashed potato pizza was so fucking good

I missed out on this but what was or is on a mashed potato pizza (other than mashed potatoes). Was it a traditional pizza but had mashed potatoes? Trying to wrap my mind around what was on it

It was deep dish crust with a very light, fluffy mashed potato filling. Cheddar cheese and bacon melted on top. Also a sprinkling of green onions for garnish. I believe it came with sour cream on the side but I never used it.

There was 1 in beechview too. Sadly the storefront/signage is still there like 16 years later.
