Great pizza, great atmosphere. Legit pizza oven. Also fantastic place to host a private party with kids: they get to make their own pizzas.

I loved this place when it was Azzeria, I love it now as City Oven and hope to love it when it changes over to "The Oven". We stopped in for dinner last night, after several other lunch visits and had a great experience. We ordered two pizzas, one with just pepperoni and one with fire roasted spinach and mushrooms. I also got a salad and breadsticks. All were amazing, as usual. I have also tried their panini's and gelato in the past and they are amazing. The fire roasted toppings give all entrees that extra touch. The pizza crust is soooo good as it has a crunch yet is soft inside. I love the atomosphere as the "garage" doors are open to the outdoor seating area during nice weather creating an open and inviting atmoshpere. Last night, we even had a visit to our table from the owner/manager making sure we were happy with everything. The only thing that can be improved is the staff asking if you have visited before and, if not, giving the customer a little direction on how they will get their food, that it is self-service, where the drinks are and maybe explain the oil/seasonings stand.

So you go to a pizza place that has a brick oven up front, even had wood burning in it. What are you there to get? You guessed it, a brick oven pizza. When you watch the oven, your pizza never goes in, then comes out from the back, obviously not cooked in a brick oven, you feel duped. Kind of like going to an amusement park to find all the rides are closed, but they can show you videos of people riding them. Fail! The pizza itself wasn't even that good, almost on par with a frozen pizza you can cook yourself.

Very quaint/hipsterish. Nice seating area with a couple of televisions mounted. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and service was quick. I ordered red pizza. It was brick oven pizza, which was great. There were a variety of toppings to chose from. Soups looked good, but didn't try them. Gelato was terrific. I wish I ordered the wings. They looked tremendous. They come plain, but with dipping sauce. Many other things on the menu.

We ordered 4 pizzas from this place for a colleague 's last day and we were kind of disappointed .There was almost no cheese on the pizzas and each pizza came with a small container of fancy dressing ,that nobody opened. Next time I will try the traditional pizzas.

I stopped into the The Oven Pizza Co. For a business lunch. Located in Wexford, I had heard about this place but had never had a chance to stop in. It's unique in that you order your food right as you walk in. There is a huge menu that hangs on the wall behind the cashier. The other unique aspect of this place is that you can build your own pizza, all the way from the type of dough for the crust (wheat or white), to the type of sauce, and then of course to the types of toppings. They have a decent lunch special, which is what I ordered. You can order a slice, which you can build, and you can choose from a bunch of different sides. What I liked most about my pizza was the crust. Really good! Just the right amount of crispness and a great flavor. The sauce (red) was better than most pizza places I visit. Zesty and very flavorful. I would definitely head back here for lunch again!

The Oven is a great place to find inexpensive, well-prepared food. We live nearby, so we stopped by while walking the dog, as there is a patio, which allows dogs. We both tried the garden vegetable brick oven pizza, and we were impressed. We will be coming here often.

The walnut feta pizza with fig glaze was the best pizza I have ever had! The sweetness of the figs blended with the crunchy walnuts and then the feta brought the creaminess. Simply fantastic.

The breadsticks are the worse bread sticks I have ever seen and tasted, they are completely flat. The sauce is horrible as well as the cheese.

The Oven is within walking distance to our home. My kids would be content to eat dinner here every night. The salads, wings and pizza are all delicious. I look forward to trying all the different types of specialty pizzas... I have a feeling we will be dining here often!

Solid place to grab a nice wood fired Pizza, my wife and I typically get the white chicken pizza with Spinach, however last evening they had a pulled pork pizza which was amazing as well. This is a great place to stop if you're planning on hitting up the Market District for some grocery shopping as they use fresh ingredients and we have through all iterations and name changes received fantastic service.

Pizza here was better than average, and the soup was pretty good too. It is one of those, go up to the counter and order then they bring the food to you. We got a veggie pizza and curry soup. Both were better than average, but the restaurant was freezing inside :(

Laine C.
My husband and I actually ate here two weekends in a row - it was that good! Pizzas are delicious and the crust is perfect (not too thick, not too thin). I'm only giving it 4 stars because we felt crammed at our table (it was very crowded as it was Friday night, there was only one table left!) our small salad was $4.50 - seems a bit over priced for what you get, and our pizza took a little while, but it was worth the wait. We'll be back for sure!

Wow what amazing pizza and salads!! Customers/friends claim thumbs up on other food as well.Came here on a 50th birthday party and had a blast...for being in a pizza shop. Clean everywhere, professional super attentive staff and Gary the owner is a pro....feeling like family royalty. Wonderful environment here @ the oven! ENJOY!!

Great food. People talk about burnt crust, you will have some dark spots with fire! Our first time here we were a bit confused but caught on that you order and seat yourself. They call you when your order is done. There is also a place on the side where you can get all different types of toppings and get oil and spices to dunk your Crust!

Mandy M.
Pizza, wings, sandwiches are all great! Best pizza I have ever had, but beware that the pizzas are small and thin so you may need to order more than you think. Staff is always nice and efficient and restaurant is clean! You must try this place out!

Jayson K.
The Oven is a hometown favorite. Great pizza with a variety of sauces, sweet, red, vodka, and white. Sweet is my go to, but they're all awesome. So next time your looking for pizza check this place out! Hint: Get balsamic house dressing to dip pizza crust in.

The Pizza was just ok. We were actually disappointed. The crust I thought was paper thin, the banana peppers tasted weird. We didn't even bring left overs home. We will not go back. We did however like they had nice indoor and outdoor seating with free wifi.

I have visited this business in this location and the others through all of it's name changes. I am unsure what the hate is all about. Both locations remain to serve solid, great food! I first went to the "new" Oven Pizza Co when they hosted PghTweetup for us. I was beyond impressed with the changes and improvements made. They actually know where their ingredients come from. They take pride in their food. The changes they made are impressive for a partnership that didn't work out. In my opinion their food is a huge improvement from the previous names. Of the 4 times I have been since the name change I have has several different pizzas, wings, a salad and i always get a smoothie or a root beer float.

The pizza was gooooood! Made fast enough, the crust was good, the actual pizza was good, I have no complaints at all. The guy who took the order was really friendly and when he saw us lingering over the gelato he came over and asked if we wanted samples. I like being offered without having to ask heh. Anyways, back to the pizza, it's not so big you can eat a good amount of a pie and take the rest home. I liked the inside too cause of the big windows; it brings in a lot of sunlight which I really like. There's also outdoor seating if you wish. Also, I like places that are seat yourself! so I liked that.. just a personal preference note though hah. I'm only giving it a four because they also have gelato which I wasn't too impressed with when I had the sample. Also, as I was walking in, it kind of looked cluttered and as if it was under construction in the front window. It was off-putting so.. yeah. But I like the pizza!

I have visited this business for over 3 years now. My favorite pizza is the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. We stopped by recently and was surprised to see a name change. They are now "The Oven Pizza Co". A flyer on the door stated "same great food, same great people" along with a "now hiring" poster. We ordered our usual. At first glance, the pizza looked the same. Well, except for the burnt crust. But the taste was not the same. The cheese tasted like soft plastic. The chicken was dry and tasteless. And there was no "buffalo" flavor. And the whole wheat crust was tough and hard. So sad about this pizza. Needless to say, we will not be giving them another chance.

Watched them bake crust and roast toppings in front of me at the oven so not sure what the reviews mentioned are meaning by the negativity- when produce is cut and roasted in front of me and dough is mixing right there it seems very high quality to me. Whole wheat crust was great. My friend got gluten free and was impressed - service better and friendlier than in some high end places. Be back soon

Azzeria is more than just pizza. They also have a good selection of pannini, salads, smoothies, and gelato. The pizza and pannini are wood-fired and they have many toppings that are wood-fired as well. I had the white pizza with fire roasted red peppers and ricotta cheese. It was very good! The crust was chewy and crisp, yet light. The gelato is made locally and comes in tons of different flavors. I had the traditional pistachio and it was fantastic. They also have homemade soups. Free wi-fi

The wood smoke lures you into the restaurant like flies to horse manure, which is exaclty what the pizza tastes like. The above-head menu is easy to order from and is simplified for the yuppy idiotic customers who frequent this sub par eatery. The dough is pre made and quickly reheated in a wood fired oven, which often leaves both the crust and fresh toppings undercooked. Within 3 minutes of ordering, our entire selection was ready for us to pick up from the counter. Which was the first red flag as to how shitty the food would taste. Only a fool would consider instantaneous pizza and wings to be a frugal alternative to a family dinner. The chicken wings, on the other hand, are definitely worth purchasing. Although, they are also reheated and seasoned. And from what I've heard, the Panini are out of this world. So, I am enthralled to give this restaurant a single star rating. A meal is only as good as the time and effort put in to making it. And this place falls short on every level.

We stopped in for dinner and had an overall good experience. We tried their white pizza, which featured provolone, mozzarella, romano, ricotta cheeses & garlic. They have a very nice atmosphere set up with large doors that open up the side of the building to the outdoor patio. We had a few concerns during our visit. Nobody greeted us or showed up to a table, though it was not difficult to find one available. The restaurant has the look of a place that would have waiter service, but it's very much a serve-yourself experience. Orders are taken at the front and they call your name when your food is available. When we got our pizza we had to track down our own plates to eat with, which were tucked away near the fountain drinks. We were also disappointed with the small size of the cups we got for the drinks that we ordered. Overall there is very little direction or input from the staff - so if you're new here be aware of that. Still, we enjoyed it and will likely add this to our repertoire of restaurants that we visit.

a decent little pizza place. +1 for fresh ingredients. i had a slice of the basil, red sauce, and tomatoes pizza. pizza for others in my party looked great. +0 for decent salad. $4 is a bit expensive for the small side salad that i had. there wasn't much to it other than mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. -1 for prices that are a bit high. +0 for no wait staff. -1 for cleanliness. we had to ask for our table to be wiped down. an employee came over to clean it for us, and she left most of the crusty food on the table. recommended to try once. maybe it'll tickle your fancy more than it did mine.

Was in the area looking for a place for lunch and was driving by the Village at the Pines and saw one of my favorite Brick Oven pizza place. They have one in the South HIlls that I frequent and it is great. Ordered the Spinach salad and a roasted pepper panini. Yum! The panini was mouth watering good. There is something about City Oven's wood fired pizza, panini and fire roasted toppings that make this place sooo good. Great salad. very fresh ingredients. Just a great place for lunch. Have been here in the warm weather and the outdoor seating and open doors really make it a fun place. Oh yeah, free wifi and actually have plugs available for your computer. CO has fire roasted coffee and expresso drinks and beer and wine --but stuck with the coffee.

We had a great time. The pizza we ordered was very fast and good. We sat outside and had a good meal. price wasn't too bad, and when we were there we got to try some different pizzas because of a special that was running. we're looking forward to trying the winter pizza this winter. It was a different pizza, not so oily, so that was nice.

This is a great place for lunch or coffee. I shared a pizza with a coworker for lunch and thought that it was really great that they could do two different sauces on one pizza. We couldn't decide between the white pizza or the traditional red sauce, so this was a perfect compromise. We opted for the whole wheat crust, and I was very pleased with the taste and texture of it. You could barely tell it was wheat rather than the traditional white crust. I loved the fire roasted tomato topping and the pizza was nice and crispy. I preferred the white pizza over the traditional red, but both were tasty. On other occasions I've had the grilled chicken salad and lattes. The salad was fresh and simple, though the dressing was slightly vinegary for my taste. The lattes were great!

Decent pizza -- freshly made. We had the vodka type with fresh roasted red peppers -- the peppers were fantastic , so sweet!-- the best I've ever had on a pizza! But, there wasn't enough flavor overall. It would have been fantastic with some fresh oregano! I also would have loved more cheese, or fresh mozzarella on the vodka type of pizza. The place is huge, cool, and very clean. They have a wide variety of Gelato flavors: Chocolate, which was incredibly rich and delicious. And, my favorite: Honey Sunflower: wow! what a surprise! It was so fresh, so creamy, and so filled with the delight of honey! It reminds me so much of a Greens' Cookbook recipe for Honey Mousse (served with raspberries and figs). The Honey Sunflower Seed gelato made me dream of Summer! Though we had take-out, the customer service (which normally, you don't have a lot of during take-out), was fabulous. The young woman who waited on us was so friendly and helpful. When we got gelato to go, she put it in a cup holder. Awesome. I can see that Azzeria will become really popular in the future, particularly if they use more fresh basil or oregano and a bit more cheese, because of the freshness of their flavors, the friendliness of their staff, and the bright colorfulness (just what you need in winter!) of their restaurant. Incidentally, besides the pizza and gelato, they serve salads, sandwiches, AND breakfast. Parking is easy since it's in a lot with lots of stores and the new Giant Eagle, and prices are moderate. Again, you can't go wrong with their gelato!

I enjoyed the basil, red sauce, tomatoes, and 4 cheese pizza that was the special for the month. I also really enjoy the thick consistency of their gelato. The service is good and the environment is interesting. The garage doors are open on nice days bringing the outdoor and indoor seating together. They have some garlic infused oil that was quite good. If you like brick oven flavored food, this is worth a try. Recommended.

Great salads. Wings. Sandwiches. Brick oven pizzas. They do a good job even when it's crowded or on weekends. Reasonably priced. Our usual hangout. Good for kids as there is outdoor sitting during summer.

As you can see, Azzeria has turned into the City Oven. Now it's a fast dining type establishment that serves brick oven pizzas, paninis, brick oven wings and gelato. I had the wings and a panini and thought it was pretty good, especially for the type of place it's emulating (sort of a Panera bread of pizza?). The brick oven charred the wings slightly and made them really, really tasty. I'm usually not a fan of "oven-cooked wings" but the high heat of their oven made them delicious. The panini was a little thin and crispy but the sausage and peppers were tasty. I've had heartier paninis but this was pretty good for a lunch. The gelato was smooth and creamy but their flavors were better suited for Baskin Robbins. I wanted Pistachio which they were out of. I settled on chocolate and peanut butter. It was really good.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

The pizza and pannini are wood-fired and they have many toppings that are wood-fired as well. I had the white pizza with fire roasted red peppers and ricotta cheese. It was very good! The crust was chewy and crisp, yet light. The gelato is made locally and comes in tons of different flavors. I had the traditional pistachio and it was fantastic. They also have homemade soups.

The wood smoke lures you into the restaurant like flies to horse manure, which is exaclty what the pizza tastes like. The above-head menu is easy to order from and is simplified for the yuppy idiotic customers who frequent this sub par eatery. The dough is pre made and quickly reheated in a wood fired oven, which often leaves both the crust and fresh toppings undercooked. Within 3 minutes of ordering, our entire selection was ready for us to pick up from the counter. Which was the first red flag as to how shitty the food would taste. Only a fool would consider instantaneous pizza and wings to be a frugal alternative to a family dinner. The chicken wings, on the other hand, are definitely worth purchasing. Although, they are also reheated and seasoned. And from what I've heard, the Panini are out of this world. So, I am enthralled to give this restaurant a single star rating. A meal is only as good as the time and effort put in to making it. And this place falls short on every level.

We stopped in for dinner and had an overall good experience. We tried their white pizza, which featured provolone, mozzarella, romano, ricotta cheeses & garlic. They have a very nice atmosphere set up with large doors that open up the side of the building to the outdoor patio. We had a few concerns during our visit. Nobody greeted us or showed up to a table, though it was not difficult to find one available. The restaurant has the look of a place that would have waiter service, but it's very much a serve-yourself experience. Orders are taken at the front and they call your name when your food is available. When we got our pizza we had to track down our own plates to eat with, which were tucked away near the fountain drinks. We were also disappointed with the small size of the cups we got for the drinks that we ordered. Overall there is very little direction or input from the staff - so if you're new here be aware of that. Still, we enjoyed it and will likely add this to our repertoire of restaurants that we visit.

a decent little pizza place. +1 for fresh ingredients. i had a slice of the basil, red sauce, and tomatoes pizza. pizza for others in my party looked great. +0 for decent salad. $4 is a bit expensive for the small side salad that i had. there wasn't much to it other than mixed greens and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. -1 for prices that are a bit high. +0 for no wait staff. -1 for cleanliness. we had to ask for our table to be wiped down. an employee came over to clean it for us, and she left most of the crusty food on the table. recommended to try once. maybe it'll tickle your fancy more than it did mine.

Was in the area looking for a place for lunch and was driving by the Village at the Pines and saw one of my favorite Brick Oven pizza place. They have one in the South HIlls that I frequent and it is great. Ordered the Spinach salad and a roasted pepper panini. Yum! The panini was mouth watering good. There is something about City Oven's wood fired pizza, panini and fire roasted toppings that make this place sooo good. Great salad. very fresh ingredients. Just a great place for lunch. Have been here in the warm weather and the outdoor seating and open doors really make it a fun place. Oh yeah, free wifi and actually have plugs available for your computer. CO has fire roasted coffee and expresso drinks and beer and wine --but stuck with the coffee.

First visit today. Worst pizza we ever ate. No taste whatsoever, no hint of a wood fired crust. We will stick with Mama Lucia's in the same area.

We had a great time. The pizza we ordered was very fast and good. We sat outside and had a good meal. price wasn't too bad, and when we were there we got to try some different pizzas because of a special that was running. we're looking forward to trying the winter pizza this winter. It was a different pizza, not so oily, so that was nice.

This is a great place for lunch or coffee. I shared a pizza with a coworker for lunch and thought that it was really great that they could do two different sauces on one pizza. We couldn't decide between the white pizza or the traditional red sauce, so this was a perfect compromise. We opted for the whole wheat crust, and I was very pleased with the taste and texture of it. You could barely tell it was wheat rather than the traditional white crust. I loved the fire roasted tomato topping and the pizza was nice and crispy. I preferred the white pizza over the traditional red, but both were tasty. On other occasions I've had the grilled chicken salad and lattes. The salad was fresh and simple, though the dressing was slightly vinegary for my taste. The lattes were great!

Decent pizza -- freshly made. We had the vodka type with fresh roasted red peppers -- the peppers were fantastic , so sweet!-- the best I've ever had on a pizza! But, there wasn't enough flavor overall. It would have been fantastic with some fresh oregano! I also would have loved more cheese, or fresh mozzarella on the vodka type of pizza. The place is huge, cool, and very clean. They have a wide variety of Gelato flavors: Chocolate, which was incredibly rich and delicious. And, my favorite: Honey Sunflower: wow! what a surprise! It was so fresh, so creamy, and so filled with the delight of honey! It reminds me so much of a Greens' Cookbook recipe for Honey Mousse (served with raspberries and figs). The Honey Sunflower Seed gelato made me dream of Summer! Though we had take-out, the customer service (which normally, you don't have a lot of during take-out), was fabulous. The young woman who waited on us was so friendly and helpful. When we got gelato to go, she put it in a cup holder. Awesome. I can see that Azzeria will become really popular in the future, particularly if they use more fresh basil or oregano and a bit more cheese, because of the freshness of their flavors, the friendliness of their staff, and the bright colorfulness (just what you need in winter!) of their restaurant. Incidentally, besides the pizza and gelato, they serve salads, sandwiches, AND breakfast. Parking is easy since it's in a lot with lots of stores and the new Giant Eagle, and prices are moderate. Again, you can't go wrong with their gelato!

I enjoyed the basil, red sauce, tomatoes, and 4 cheese pizza that was the special for the month. I also really enjoy the thick consistency of their gelato. The service is good and the environment is interesting. The garage doors are open on nice days bringing the outdoor and indoor seating together. They have some garlic infused oil that was quite good. If you like brick oven flavored food, this is worth a try. Recommended.

Great salads. Wings. Sandwiches. Brick oven pizzas. They do a good job even when it's crowded or on weekends. Reasonably priced. Our usual hangout. Good for kids as there is outdoor sitting during summer.

As you can see, Azzeria has turned into the City Oven. Now it's a fast dining type establishment that serves brick oven pizzas, paninis, brick oven wings and gelato. I had the wings and a panini and thought it was pretty good, especially for the type of place it's emulating (sort of a Panera bread of pizza?). The brick oven charred the wings slightly and made them really, really tasty. I'm usually not a fan of "oven-cooked wings" but the high heat of their oven made them delicious. The panini was a little thin and crispy but the sausage and peppers were tasty. I've had heartier paninis but this was pretty good for a lunch. The gelato was smooth and creamy but their flavors were better suited for Baskin Robbins. I wanted Pistachio which they were out of. I settled on chocolate and peanut butter. It was really good.
