They’re definitely still open! We bought a pizza there tonight after the game and it was awesome – incredible sauce. Wow!

I too was saddened when I found the Di’Salla’s on Carson had closed. I first went there with my grandmother decades ago. Does anyone know if they opened a place elsewhere or if the one in Homestead has the same pie?

A couple of weeks ago I was having a craving and I took my children over there to have some of the best Pizza EVER and found that they have closed with no forwarding address. How sad is this economy to let one of the oldest businesses in the city close. I grew up on that pizza and recommended several people to go there and now there gone!!! what kind of world do we live in??!!

why dont you call them. I grew up on it. I believe they used to sell unbaked pies for you to bake at home but thats a way back youd think by now theyd have it in grocers freezers.

DiSalla’s Pizza in Munhall is the best! Great pizza & great price.

My wife is from Homeville in Munhall and I’ve had GiSalla’s pizza but frankly it didn’t come close to DiCarlo’s Original that I used to get on Rt. 51 in Overbrrok (Pittsburgh).

Who can forget Bill “Chilly Billy” Cardille’s Saturday night movies?

I was born in Braddock, grew up in Swissvale and worked at for US Steel near Homestead. DiSalles Pizza in Munhall was a mainstay of our diet. I’ve since lived in NY, NJ, CAL, FL, MICH, WISC etc. and never found anything like this “Pittsburgh Pizza”. The square “Scicilian Pizza” I’ve had does not measure up. I would appreciate receiving the original recipe if anyone has it.

Mr. Pizzamaniac,

I need some help. Twenty two years ago I lived in Philadelphia for a couple of years and prior to that was raised in Pittsburgh. My all time favorite food was sicillian or square pizza primarily from Perry Pizza or Zangaro’s Pizza both on the North Side. Neither of these places still exist. What made these pizza’s great was the pans used to make them. Those pans were steel and black-seasoned…the best. As I am now in California (22 years) there is no such thing as square or sicillian pizza and I have been searching for more than 10 years. Please tell me that you know of a pizza maker from the pizza heaven of Pennsylvania that would be willing to sell me one or two of those famously used blackened square pizza pans so that I can create my own here at home. I would be eternally thankful to you and or your audience if you or they could supply me with a contact. My next step is to fly back there and steal a couple.
Thanks…Jim B flyball@hotmail.com
