For the Love of Local Pizza: Plan to Have Spak Brothers Pizza This Weekend

Leave a Comment

Spak Brothers is an awesome pizza shop in Penn Avenue in Garfield, awesome because they make delicious food and they are awesome neighbors who have supported lots of community initiatives.  I know they kept many of the toy drive volunteers fed last Christmas. Due to a break-in and refrigerator break down, they have had a rough week.  Spak isn’t asking for money, but you can support them by stopping by for some food. Spak will reopen at 5pm on Thursday and be open until Tuesday when the new fridge arrives. These small businesses are the heart and soul of this… Read the rest

We had been there a few times before but this time I was due for pizza. I love the atmosphere of Piccolo Forno, it is bright and… Read the rest

PGH Exeeding My Expectations Yet Again

1 Comment

What a week to be in Pittsburgh. Last Wednesday, I participated in Pittsburgh’s first Tweet Up, which was beyond awesome. Rarely do things exceed my expectations, but I have been in a state of awe since I stepped foot in Belle Notte on Wednesday evening. My colleagues and I experienced by far the best pizza ever in the strip and will be partaking again this Wednesday. Needless to say, I am a bit antsy just thinking about the dough that is the perfect balance of thick and crispy, thanks to cooking it right on the stone and the shredded, yes… Read the rest
