i just started working on it. this is only the second attempt. i buy the frozen bread dough(sweet bread). it’s close enough. i haven’t found the perfect sauce yet. i’m just using contadina brand pizza sauce, and just add a pinch of sugar.  
one of these days i’m gonna try to do the dough from scratch. but it’s gonna end up being a mix of two i think. a pastry crust and a regular crust.

If you want to make your own sauce, I have a suggestion.

Well this is similar to what we used to do at the restraunt.

Rough, but gets the point across

1 Can whole Plum Tomatoes  
1 Can/Jar Tomato/Basil Red sauce  
1/4 to 1/2 Oz of salt (depending on your taste)  
1/4 Oz Pepper  
1 Oz Sugar  
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon (Most say they can’t taste it, I can…)  
Garlic Powder if you like garlic.  
Add water to adjust thickness.

You may use less, as 1 can of each (sauce/tomatoes) would be plenty more than for one pizza. Adjust amount of other ingredients accordingly.

Put all ingredients together, Puree. Voila!

I had to scale down the recipe, since I’m used to making about 14 Quarts of it at a time.

You can even order it on the internet now.  
You can read all the non-sense on the forums, and order a pizza at the same time.

agreed! The places on the list weren’t even in Pittsburgh! And while I love pizza with all of my soul, I am not going to drive from brentwood to latrobe.

Mineo’s sucks ass. I hate their fuckin’ pie. Aiello’s is tops in sq. hill.

Rialto’s in greenfield is effin’ awesome! Good prices, 6-packs and loosies available.

Pizza Milano / perfecta. Great pie, but may have gone a little bit downhill in recent years. Been hitting the one by the arena on 5th ave (ghetto) since it was Corleone’s…

for fancy pizza, Pi was awesome but moved out of sq. hill. Bites and Brew’s in shadyside is pretty yummy too.
