Fatigati I forgot all about that place . I was a kid (younger than 10) when it burnt down. I loved that place. One of the very few Italian places I would order Italian food at.

Picollo Picollo was awesome, closest thing in Pittsburgh to restaurants I've seen in Italy.

In a similar vein, Lidia's, although they started to decline a little the last year or so. Probably a reason why they closed (had some health department issues also which didn't help).

And on our campus, the O. Still the best fries anywhere.

With the pandemic, unfortunately, this list will grow.
 
Watch the Pizza Show, NY people are cool. They stool the idea .....
and soooooo what...... its Food !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly this thread devolved into pizza joints, I know part my fault, but it was supposed to be about restaurants no longer around. Another one of the good ones was the Common Plea. You could often find me there before the Panthers would play a game at the arena.
