Frankstown Wood-Fired Pizza — Restaurant in Penn Hills

This is very high quality homemade pizza. I got the margherita pizza and also tried two slices of the marinara pizza. The marinara is quite a basic pizza, simple yet tasty. It is made of simply cheese and tomato sauce.

My margherita pizza was awesome! It is around 12" which is enough for 1-2 people. It's similar to a Neapolitan style pie, but a little bit thicker. The dough is pretty soft, not too crispy, but also had a nice char on the bottom. You can see the man making the pizza in the tiny restaurant, so you know it's made by hand! Margherita also had basil, nice chunks of mozzarella, tomato chunks (whole tomatoes!) and some sort of spice which was pretty unique. And the price was only $11.

I did try to order their raisin bread along with my pie, but they were out of it. However, I would try it the next time I visit. The downside is that they don't deliver and it's cash only. But, this place is worth the drive if you live locally. It's a nice home style pizza place serving pretty cheap...

Simple concept, great execution. They take care that the cheese darkens evenly, rotating as needed and giving the necessary extra minutes when you’ve got a bunch of toppings. But the best thing about the pizza is what they don’t do: no overload of garlic, no sugary sauce, no gimmicks. Just basil, mozzarella, sauce, and a lightly charred, poofy, non-greasy crust… reminds you why the concept of pizza is truly one of humankind’s greatest achievements. You have to admire the single-mindedness of the place. It’s a shack with a cash register, wrapped around a giant oven, no dine-in, no credit cards, just get your pie and go. I keep meaning to try the other stuff, which looks tasty, but the thought of pizza overpowers my...

This was my first time getting take out from this pizza shoppe. My pizza was ready in a timely manner during rush hour on a Friday. The shoppe was very busy. I liked that you could actually see the pieces of wood and the oven as soon as you walk in. You can also see pizzas being prepared from scratch. I purchased a small pasta salad and the Bianco pie with sausage. The pizza was delicious. I enjoyed the crust and overall smoky flavor of the pie. The pizza tasted authentic and homemade. The pasta salad was pretty tasty as well. I am told that the hoagies are delicious. Considering how much I enjoyed the pizza, I will try some of their hoagies on...
