Ha I am from CT, I go to Pitt a lot to see in-laws. Is there a better pizza in Pitt that I am not aware of? If so, I need to know asap.
I'm just surprised anyone from CT would actually be enthusiastic about Mineos. It's not horrible, but I think you can do better. As I lived mostly in Ffld Cty, I'd put it maybe a notch below Letitia's in Norwalk. But it is one of the Pittsburgh Holy Trinity along with Aiello's and Fiori's. I find the crust/cheese/sauce ratio on all of them is far too cheesy and saucy. Of those three, I prefer Fiori's. However, for takeout, I think the best now is between
Slice on Broadway (Beechview and outside PNC Park) and
Pizza A'Badamo (Mt. Lebanon and North Side).
Unfortunately two really good places bit the dust during the pandemic, Claudio's, which was my go-to for takeout and Taglia, which did an excellent Roman street pizza.
Still, there are lots of solid sit-down places for Neapolitan and designer pies, but you can't sit down in many of them at the moment.
Dinette in E. Liberty is top of that heap (appears they're closed for the pandemic). I live in the South Hills, so I know more about places down here. For Neapolitan style, you can eat outside at
Il Pizzaiolo or
Cucina Bella. You've also got
Pizzeria Divide in the northern end of The Strip, which I haven't been to yet, but people I trust love it. You can get porchetta as a topping. And, there's a place in Peters Twp that bought their recipes from Harry's in W. Hartford. Naturally, it's called
Harry's. I used to go there a lot until Claudio's and Badamo opened.
And just for something different, one of our two Detroit-style joints is still operating,
Iron Born, in The Strip and in Millvale. It's different, but it's actually pretty damned good. But the ricotta/lemon pizza I love isn't on the current menu.
