And if you lived like that guy you'd lose your fucking mind, give away everything you owned, and vanish like a fart in the breeze.

You mean "good pizza" and "hipster pizza"

I mean nowadays, yeah. Back in college less than 6 years ago $9.99 got you a College Special at the best pizza joints in Pittsburgh. Nowadays if someone is making a Pizza for $9.99 you should question everything you're doing.

I've lived in the metro area my whole life, but I moved to Pittsburgh proper in early 2017. I've lived in Lower Lawrenceville, Allegheny Center/North Side, East Carnegie, the Strip District, and South Side. I've been warned about every one of those neighborhoods at some point by people claiming they were dangerous, yet I've never had any real issues at all.
Someone recently just said, "I'm surprised you didn't get shot" when I mentioned that I had owned a house in East Carnegie and sold it a year ago. I owned there for 3 years and didn't experience any violence whatsoever. If you would have told me it had a reputation for being dangerous, I wouldn't have had any idea what you were talking about. Lot of dickhead contractors, plumbers, and real estate agents trying to take advantage of me but no regular people shooting at me or anything. Point being, people need to lay off the local news channels.

For anyone who stumbles upon this instance or others, you did the correct thing. You should be skeptical because I immediately thought it was a scam from your description. Going to your known website, and not following and links or calling numbers sent to you unsolicitedly is the most secure move. Only thing would’ve been to call them directly from a number you can verify. Nicely done.

On a non-economic side note: seems like whatever goes into that corner spot has a short shelf life.

I feel like most people bashing the pizza haven't actually had the pizza lol. Because yeah I haven't had something from there I didn't like. I think a lot of pizza in the area is suuuuper cheesy which is different from Doughbar so I guess that might be where people are coming from.

Aahhh!! Yes! So glad to see another Doughbar stan lol I feel like I'm going crazy reading these comments!! The bianco was sooo good. Tbh I tried most of the pizzas and every one was very very good. And truthfully I don't even think it was expensive, I mean it's expensive for pizza but also you aren't getting just a plain cheese pizza there. I feel like most people bashing the prices are comparing doughbar to a normal pizza shop where you get red sauce, one cheese type and maybe a topping. Doughbar had multiple types of cheese, multiple toppings, and different base sauces. So good!

I don’t know, but Waffalonia in Squirrel Hill makes my favorite milk shakes in the city.

The entire world has changed in the pandemic. There’s simply is not enough of a market to support late-night a business that isn’t food or drink oriented. There are non-drinking third spaces, but their activity driven: bowling alleys and arcades. This person is looking for an evening space that is well lit and quiet, where they can occupy a workspace space without paying a fee. That was never a sustainable business model, and they won’t be returning here, or anywhere else.

100% agreed, always brought friends and family here. The Bianco was incredible as was the Crispy Cups pepperoni. Was the pizza expensive? Of course. But it was super good. Everyone I brought there said it was some of the best pizza they've had, especially for Pittsburgh.

I need to get a grip because I spent two decades of my life regularly socializing at 24 hour locations? And now it's like we live in an entirely different world as those don't even exist anymore? I find it quite amazing to take a step back and look at what's gone. Late night grub after drinking with friends until the bars close, quietly reading a book by myself while drinking some coffee on a sleepless night.. late night study groups, cramming for finals.. or just hanging out until 2am because I wasn't yet old enough to drink and it was a good place for teenagers to hang out.
Your trollish response is no different than if you said "Shame they're tearing my old high school down, I have a lot of memories of that place" and them some douchebag online told you that high school was two decades ago and you should move on with your life.
Really not sure how you read into my comment as evidence that I'm the one that needs a grip here. You sure care a lot about some stranger's opinion... now that, is wild.
Anywho.. feel free to fuck off. I've seen plenty of other dumb troll responses from you in the past so I won't be wasting anymore time with you. ps. 90s called, they want their screen name back, funny guy.

By that math they opened a restaurant right smack dab in the middle of a nationwide pandemic and employment crisis. Sucky timing.

Same here. When i called them they were busy and told me to call back later. A bit annoyed at that response tbh.

In 2002-ish, they were $4.06. Pre pandemic them only being $6, a $2 price raise over 18ish years isn’t bad at all. But $10+ is ridiculous.

I was just in Oakland a few weeks ago for an appointment at Presby. I drove past antoons and was floored…$10+ for that large pizza. When I was going to Pitt (2000-2003) an antoons pie was $4.06, including tax. An antoons pie is nowhere close to being worth $10+, unless they drastically change the quality of it.

My man, this is what I get everytime. Me and my roommates get Dominos and I get crucified for my order every time.
