“ I never had this pizza before (eventhough I've been told it's a staple for the area). It was delicious. The sauce is a little on the sweet side, but the crust and toppings are delicious. Go with a friend, because parking is non-existent. ”
“ Love this pizza!!! Sweet and tasty!!! Pick up only!!! It's in a small neighborhood!!! Cash only!!! $7 one size only...toppings... homemade...unique... ”
“ Just had our first order here. Got 4 pizzas and really loved them all. Sweet sauce is delicious, toppings were very delicious. Great pizza that's worth a 20 minute drive for us. Will be regulars from now on. Would give 10 stars if I could. ”
“ This place has all of the lore attached to easily be one of the top 3 pizza places in Pittsburgh. I'm going to be 38 and only found out about this place a few months ago. I cannot believe this has remained a secret to me for this long. 1. You call to order and they answer with "Hello!" This is due in part to another reason why the lore parallels the pizza, and as I'll explain. Orders usually take between 35 min-1 hour. 2. I ask you to look at the picture of the place in Google Maps. It is an actual HOUSE on a ONE WAY STREET! You go to a screen door, ring the buzzer and one of Mary Jo's family members ask your name. This place is 80 years old which makes you wonder if this place has been grandfathered in to the area. I had to wait 3 cars deep a few weeks back. I was hoping I wasn't blocking anyone but they were all waiting for pizza. 3. Find a pizza that's this good, for the price they are. You can't! I'd say the sauce and crust combination is untouched in the Valley. It's terrible that chains try to sell you on good pizza when it's mediocre, at best. Yes I'm talking about the place near Sheetz and Speedway on 130 & Mosside. We recently paid $30.00+ for two pizzas, roughly the same size, that pale in comparison to Mary Jo's. There are probably things I am forgetting to mention but I will argue with anyone, anyway about pizza in the Mon Valley and surrounding areas. I have been robbed of decades of great pizza from this place. I'm sure I will make up for it in the coming months. This place reminds me of a pizza shop in Wilkes-Barre named Angelo's, which I consider the best pizza in the state of Pennsylvania. ”
“ I have such a love for this family and their pizza ! 40 years strong we have supported and loved, recommended and continued our love and support. Excellent homemade pizza straight from the basement kitchen !! The sauce is sweet and amazing the pepperoni is a bit spicy but I won't trade it for the world. I love the fresh mushrooms !! This is a MUST TRY !! Our Dear Mary Jo pasted away this past Xmas. RIP ! She may be not physical with us, it her pizza and her memory will live on Forever !!! Please support this wonderful family and the pizza is not disappointing!!! ”
“ Love everything about this pizza! I order extra sauce and extra cheese every time though! :-). Can't beat $5 for an everything pizza. ”
