Anthony Badamo’s slice shop excels at thin New York–style rounds and deeply caramelized Sicilian squares. Celebrated by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and featured on WQED with Rick Sebak, it’s a locals-first favorite.

Good pizza and perfect service. It's mostly takeout but there is a small space where you can stand and enjoy. I liked the cheese slices. Kind of different from other pizza places but definitely good. Not too much cheese and sauce and slice is thin. The special white sicilian slice was slightly spicy and flavorful consisting of mushrooms, red peppers, fresh mozzarella, etc. I didn't try the margherita but it definitely looked good. Their most selling ones are the sicilian ones.

This place slaps. These guys take pride in their work, pizza was a masterpiece. I got the pepperoni Sicilian it’s almost like halfway between New York style and Detroit. Very cool and very good, with those crispy edges Detroit is know for. House marinara is a game changer, get at least 4 per pizza.

Dropped in for a few slices for lunch, added herbs and garlic salt they have out for ya. Staff was friendly, think 5 different pizzas for walk ins ready. Went back to try that homemade ranch. It's great, perfect for dipping.

Had a slice of their pepperoni pizza and 3 minutes I finished it, I had to go back and get another. Truly amazing, great amount of cheese and sauce. The pizza is soo crispy and not greasy at all.

Perfect crust and fresh ingredients. My order took longer than usual (and I mean like 4 minutes instead of 2) and I found out after I left that they gave me an extra slice, perhaps to accommodate for my time. Keep in mind it's not a sit-down sort of place but you can chill and eat at the standing bar. Also it was $6 with tip for the 2 slices I did order. I mean you simply can not beat the quality for this price point anywhere else in the city, as far as I know.

Had high hopes after visiting the Dormont location. Here, slices were served unacceptably cold. When asking politely to have them warmed up, they did it reluctantly. Resulting slices were still only lukewarm on the edges and entirely cold in the center. Maybe I’m crazy but I expect a dedicated pizza oven to get hotter than my home oven. Not worth it.

Awesome square pie and great service. Loved the crumbled sausage with a tad of spiciness.

This pizza goes crazy. 3rd day in a row getting it. Highly recommend this pie. Beats out Fiori's or mineos any time.

Decided to order Badamo's to feed some hungry co-workers. Went with a large half pepperoni pizza and half pepperoni/sausage Sicilian style pizza. Also got an order of the garlic knots. Pizza was great, dough was perfect and the cheese and pepperoni were fresh. I normally don't opt for a Sicilian style pizza, but this is one that I would not hesitate to order again. Garlic knots were so so. They weren't bad, just not something I'd feel the urge to order again. Overall, solid pizza. I can see why this is considered some of the best in the burgh.

I probably won't stop raving about this pizza for a while! I snagged a white pizza square and a slice of margherita. Both were FABULOUS! It was some of the closest to NY style you'll find around Pittsburgh. There is a small dining area with tables and benches. Service was quickly and friendly. As soon as you walk in the door the most amazing smell greets your nose! :) Living in Pittsburgh, I've learned there really is such a thing as bad pizza. But not at Badamos! Thanks for making the best of them. Never too cheesy, too heavy or too greasy. Sweet perfection.

Best pizza ever. Top notch ingredients. Cooked to perfection. The only problem is we don't have one in Charlotte. Please tell us your secret!

A truly awesome spot for pizza in the North Side - no seating, but they make up for it with great flavor, crust, and ingredients. My husband and I got takeout recently and tried a round pie and a few various Sicilian/grandma slices, plus some garlic knots and pepperoni rolls. We loved EVERYTHING. The hype is real and we will absolutely be making Badamo's our go-to destination for a great takeout pizza going forward! I'd recommend giving yourself about 40 minutes to an hour between placing an order and picking up, as they do get busy. The quicker option would definitely be to stop in and pick out a few pre-baked slices to go (they do heat them up!) versus ordering a whole pie, but you can't go wrong either way! It's a cute little place with some classic pizza shop ambiance, including great personal touches in frames on the wall. Can't wait to try it again soon!

It's easier to find bad pizza in this city than good. When you find one that's good, you let everyone know I was told to go here by so many of you after I posted my Lupo video and I'm happy it was worth the praise you all gave it When I first came to Pittsburgh and discovered that not every single pizza shop had speciality slices in cases I was baffled. Now this one still didn't have a shit ton but that had enough Now I'm not going to say this is my favorite pizza because it's not. In the city though, it is by far and that's for 2 reasons. The crust and SLICES The plain, sauce was solid, not too thin and a good crisp (I always ask for them extra crispy). It's not my favorite plain slice BUT it still slapped All the special squares banged. We got the pepperoni (wish they had hot honey for it). One was tomatoes, onions and ricotta. The other was ricotta, basil and pesto. The crisp was perfect, still super soft in the middle on ALL of them and the sizes were SOLID Also their ranch. They didn't have blue cheese so I got that. It had dill in it. I fucking hate dill. But I enjoyed this one a lot. If you're a dill person you'll fuck with this one heavy Inside there isn't any seating. Very very small. So you can sit on the steps like us, bring home if close or just have in your car. Either way get the fuck there. They have two locations. The original in the North Side and then another in Dormont

Badamo's, in my opinion, somehow managed to improve upon itself when they moved to Dormont. We'd get it from the Lebo location and it was good but since they've relocated, I actually enjoy it even more. Everything from the tangy sauce to the widely celebrated "grease cup" pepperoni, I say that with love (iykyk), to the final boss, the crust. The staff have always been so cool and friendly, it's no wonder the pizza had only gotten better. I'm happy to support them.

All I need to say is DELICIOUS.. but Yelp says I need 85 characters, so here it goes. Definitely have to stop and grab a pizza slice and pepperoni roll if you're in the area. Even on a hot day, the pizza was 10/10. Service was good. It can be a bit stuffy in there if you're waiting though.

Found the trick is to order well done. This pie was amazing. We live in the area and this is our go to pizza spot. Pick up is always super easy and timely. The staff is wonderful and we always have positive interactions with them.

While being tourists, we wanted to sample some local pizza. After a bit of looking at reddit and Google, we decided to give Badamos a whirl. Its not much more than a walkup. I think my bedroom is larger. Nevertheless, this pizza was pretty great. We shared a pepperoni slice. This isnt a place where good service is expected. This is more like "whatcha want" and its actually perfect. Gimme good pizza and this definitely works. If you want a solid slice of pie, this place can deliver.

Stopped in here yesterday while visiting the Mexican War Streets section of Pittsburgh. Had a slice of the Sicilian and a slice of the classic, each with pepperoni. I liked the classic better, the sauce and cheese were great, the crust had a nice crispiness to it, and the pepperoni was perfect. The Sicilian was good, but I'm just not a big fan of that style of pizza. I also had one of the lemonades, which was ok, but was more of a seltzer. Would definitely go back for the pizza. They do sell by the slice which is always great! Big thumbs up.

Can never go wrong with Badamos! I recently ordered a Sicilian pizza and per usual, it didn't disappoint. I've heard their classic pizza is fantastic as well, but I can't stay away from the Sicilian. lol online ordering is easy and pick up is a breeze. Love having Badamos so close to me on the north side!

Great slice every time. Sauce is flavorful not overwhelming or acidic. Cheese is great and nice crispy edges to a light crust. Fast and friendly spot

This place pops up on a lot of "Best slices in Pittsburgh" list and I can see why. I tried the white slice (with added sausage solely for the sake of extra protein)-- the crust was crispy while also having good chew. I liked the included ricotta and spinach combo and would likely skip adding sausage next time. The pepperoni roll was also a good snack, slightly on the doughier side. There is a standing table opposite the cashier with enough space for 4-5 people, so most folks get it as take-out.

Ordered on my phone because we were in an Airbnb from out of town. Said they had delivery but they farm it out to delivery service. A large pizza with 4 toppings was over 50.00 with delivery and tip..,cold and average at best...uggh. Would NOT recommend

Pizza passport brought me here for first time. Super friendly employee running register and heating up the pizza by the slice (Sicilian). Enjoyed the crust most of all...crisp and airy. Garlic forward. Sitting out and reheated probably played a role in the overall experience a bit but you expect that from a by the slice spot. Added a side of garlic knots which had good body but lacked a bit of butter and or salt. Definitely want to come back to try the whole red sauce pie!

As a Long Island, NY native, I have pretty high standards for pizza. Badamo's is the only slice I've had in Pittsburgh that comes close to pizza from home! Badamo's has a laid back atmosphere and you can see pizzas being made in the back. Service has never been an issue and slices are out pretty quick. I got two plain slices and a cup of ranch to dip. The pizza is NY-style and lives up to that description. Dipping in ranch is something I've picked up since moving to PA and Badamo's ranch is great too!

Definitely a good pizza shop, but it might be a tad overhyped. I didn't love it or anything, but did enjoy it. They have both round pies and Sicilian style pizzas. Not a ton of premade pizza options outside of the classics, so a somewhat limited menu. I decided to try the red pizza in Sicilian form. The red Sicilian was pretty good. The dough was airy and not too overpowering. The cheese was tasty and seemed to be decently high quality. They had the sauce on the top, which is kind of unique and almost upside down or grandma style. I honestly wasn't a big fan of the sauce and found it a little sweet. There wasn't a ton of crunch to the pizza (it's not like the Detroit style of Iron Born). But still, not bad. Their homemade ranch was pretty good but quite unique. It's got an herbal taste to it, with a nice amount of creaminess. I think the ranch saved the crust at times. All in all, decent pizza shop that might be a tad overhyped. It's still solid and I may come back, but nothing crazy.

Tried a slice of Sicilian cheese, a slice of Sicilian pepperoni, a pepperoni roll and garlic knots. All of them were fantastic. The Sicilian crust was light and crispy.

Absolutely love their pizza! I'm a little bummed they stopped making hoagies but as far as their pizza goes, I love it! I've been driving there which is a little out of my way but worth it! I see they have a shop In Dormont. I wish they would open one in the North Hills! Delicious!

Yummy! We came here after a story club hour at City asylum. I was really happy to get there before they closed. I was able to order some really delicious looking pizza and I had to try the pepperoni rolls. All of it was delicious. It was super fast. It also get. We ordered it and stood around for maybe 3 minutes or so it felt like and it was already ready to go. Not bad at all. Between me and my friends we had the vegetarian slices, some cheese, and pepperoni. Pepperoni. And all of us were impressed by the crust and the taste of the sauce and the toppings that we chose. I know that it was a newer pizza place in the neighborhood and I think that it's here to stay. The food was delicious, the service was awesome, and it was a cute little shop that fit in with the neighborhood. I really enjoyed it and look forward to my next slice.

Proud to say this is my neighborhood spot. Their pizza is on a regular rotation for my family's "Pizza Friday". Their Sicilian slice is top 3 in the city for me. Never had a bad za from these guys. The team there are always in good spirits. Great vibes.

Ordered carryout on a Tuesday evening. The wait was about 45 minutes which was surprising for a weeknight but the place was busy! Pizza is so pricey these days (roughly $30 for an 18 inch 2 topping pizza), but Badamos has really good pizza. The toppings were plentiful and the crust was excellent. Probably the best Pizza on the North Side of Pittsburgh.

There are always people waiting outside for pizza. You walk in the park and there are people sitting on the bench eating pizza. This trip, after seeing it rated as one of the best pizzas in Pittsburgh, we have to get some. We arent big eaters so we ordered three slices of sicilian pepperoni. One each was plenty. I like thick crust. This was in between. Nice and chewy with lots of thin crispy slices of pepperoni. Terrific sauce. Usually I like tons of cheese. I think this pizza had some cheese, not alot. I didnt miss it. I could really taste each of the ingredients. As a matter of fact Badamos is now on my list of top 3. Little Star deep dish chicken Mediterranean pizza in San Francisco. Deschners Pizza with 7 ingredients in Mansfield Ohio and now Badamos Sicilian pizza with pepperoni. Each pizza good in their own way Nice thing is you can buy it by the slice, nicely packed up and enjoy it either in the park or by the river. This is a winner.

My favorite pizza in Pittsburgh! If you like New York style, this is the shop for you. I'm one of those people that likes to have a side salad with my pizza, so I usually order the mixed greens salad which is great and full of fresh toppings like olives and chickpeas. It's big enough for 2-3 people to share. They make all of their dressings in house. The ranch pairs perfectly with the pizza. It's a little dill forward which I personally enjoy. For the salad I always get the balsamic which is also lovely.

Nastiest pizza I had in my life so far I think it's worst than Domino's! It taste old and smelt even worse so disappointed and a waste of money.

Let's start this with Badamos is prob still the best pizza option in the North Side. However, since they changed their recipe the Sicilian just isn't what it used to be. I used to tell everyone about Badamos, now, ehh. Let's go back to the old dough recipe, please.

Left the pizza outside next door and no pepperoni! Texted an hour and ten minutes later that it was there. Now it's freezing cold!

If Rick Sebak recommends it, it must be good! I know that Rick travels to get here, and that Badamo's never disappoints. We got the White Sicilian and the crust was perfect. They also sell by the slice, as well as hoagies, salads, and sides, but I'm hooked on their pizza.

How I've somehow never left a review for badamos is a mystery to me. This is my absolute favorite place for a slice in/around Pittsburgh that I've found. Specifically the Sicilian square cut pepperoni. The regular slice wasn't anything too special to me, but the square cut is divine! We used to live within walking distance of badamos but have since moved about 30 minutes north, but you can bet every time we are in the area around lunch, we get a slice! Always comes out piping hot and is a great size for a small lunch. There always seems to be a small line, however the service is always fast and friendly. Go give it a try! I don't think you'll regret it! :)

I ordered a cheese pizza with spinach and a salad and they were both delicious! Their salads are definitely above par compared to your typical pizza joint. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time since they can be a bit slow sometimes but it's worth it. Super friendly staff as well!
