Rank 1. F&F Pizzeria - Mt. Lebo
New York Pizzeria
A New York style slice shop that somehow landed in Mt. Lebanon and decided to stay, F&F sells by the slice or the whole pie, with options running from a straight pepperoni to cacio e pepe or a clam pie if you're feeling confident. The open dining room spills onto a patio when the weather cooperates. Vodka rigatoni is on the menu too, for anyone who came for pizza and stayed for pasta.

Rank 1. Mercurio’s
Neapolitan Pizzeria
The gelato case near the door makes the priorities clear before you've even found a table. Mercurio's is a Neapolitan-style pizza and gelato spot in Shadyside, where long-fermented dough gets a soft, blistered crust and the toppings run from a straightforward Margherita to speck with gorgonzola. The room is casual and easy, the kind of place that fills up with neighbors who aren't trying to make an occasion of it.

Rank 3. Dish Osteria & Bar
Osteria
Red mahogany tables, candlelight, and a Sicilian wine list that takes its job seriously set the tone at this South Side osteria and bar. The cooking leans into southern Italy, with Calabrian heat showing up in the shrimp and duck ragu turning up in the gnocchi. It fills up fast, and the room rewards a reservation. Bring someone you want to impress, or at least someone who won't rush you through a lambrusco spritz.
