Fair cop but that was just for bonus points.. and really it's a 20 minute walk, 10 minute bike or 5 minute bus or drive from Pittsburgh across regent square.

No, it is VERY worth it. Expensive, but worth it. The Lupo Luco and the Arthur Spooner are two of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve had pizza in Italy, NYC, Chicago, etc. Those two are top tier.

Well basically, there are close to a hundred other pizza sellers in and around town. This is part if the problem with this city.

Palmyra is the only reason I have to ever go to the Village anymore. Their food is awesome, but you will smell like garlic for a week afterward.

This is my take on it too. Just trying to buy groceries is costing me easily 20% more than it was precovid, and generally speaking incomes haven't adjusted. Going out to eat just isn't financially an option as often as it was for a lot of people.

I feel you, but i'd so much rather patronize a cafe then work at one of these shared spaces. They often feel very alienating and perhaps culture will glide towards them being the new norm and feel less isolating and lame. For now, there's a stilted feel when I've tried them but I think I will explore the option again and try it out.
But when patronizing a coffeeshop, I buy things, I tip well, I'm polite and conversational and I try to use only a small amount of space.
Some coffeeshops like Commonplace are really nice for this because they will outright explain to customers that it is an "open-seating environment" so if there's a table with four seats that means four strangers' butts can plop down and use the space. Perhaps it is a bit selfish and the baristas internally begrudge the use, but it does seem like a lifeline of this kind of place as well.
An issue is they close at 6 or 7. I recognize that this is based on demand for the space. I think there is a demand. We're just still in the craw of a post-covid state where people don't patronize places as often.

HSWA says the call was a mistake if you call their main line.

The made the mistake of opening shop in Pittsburgh. People here don’t have the money for that kind of shit.

Mineos is worth 30 bucks for a large pepperoni. Cannot say the same about Driftwood. Pizza Lupo on the other hand…

Spirit is primarily a multi-purpose bar/venue that also sells good pizza.

Totally this. However, things are getting weird with Pizza prices out there. Mineos is now close to thirty $30 for a large one topping pizza. Although excellent in my opinion (not inviting a debate on this) its hardly gourmet.... On the other hand, Driftwood is now about $35 dollars for a pizza and I guess it would be considered gourmet (I'm not a huge fan). Point is, Pizza prices are out of hand and we need a pizza politician to save us.... To bad Herman Caine died. RIP.
