I just finished up a quick 3 miles dahn the North Shore trail. As I'm slugging through the 17deg air, I thought it was fitting to try Beto's Pizza for the first time. I arrived at 1130 just before the lunch rush. I placed my order and took a seat. I waited roughly 10-15 minutes for my three cuts. My name was called, I picked up my order and returned to my seat. I opened the box with much anticipation and sure enough - the toppings were indeed cold. I took my first bite and was surprised at how crunchy and delicious the dough/crust was. The sauce was nice too. The cold toppings tasted just how you'd think they'd taste. The cheese closest to the sauce had a light melt to it which was nice. I finished my meal a satisfied man. I'm glad I tried it ($10 for 3 cuts) but I prefer the cheese/toppings cooked which is just a preference of course. It's 12:10 as I'm writing this review in my car and this parking lot is now packed! I better get out of here so someone can take my spot. Beto's Pizza - solid place - different but worth a try. It definitely isn't a bad pizza - just different.

We drop by here since it's on our way to work. We had order 8 slice and I think for most people if they like a lot of cheese on their pizza , this is their place to go, for me it was too cheesy and the pizza were square which I didn't mind but this place during lunch hours it gets really busy and crowded and somtimes there isn't any sitting. We came in when it was one of the snow days in PA.. and it was really busy. Ambience is ok it has a couple of table and booth. It was definitely an experience with a pizza with its of shredded cheese.

Fast food like pizza restaurant. Busy! The staff are friendly. Two slices of pizza dirt cheap. They pile the toppings high! I was skeptical but the hot pizza contrasting with the cold cheese works!

I can't believe I like this pizza - it was surprisingly tasty This place takes a long time (they were very busy so no fault of the staff) so order ahead

Beto's Pizza has been around since 1953. This makes it one of the oldest pizza restaurants in Pittsburgh, with a history spanning over 70 years. The restaurant has been serving its unique style of pizza, known as Ohio Valley Pizza, to generations of Pittsburgh residents and visitors. What makes the pizza different is that they toss heaps of slightly chilled provolone on top of the pizza after it comes out of the oven, adding amazing consistency and unique flavor. As the "cuts" or slices come out of the oven, the hot crust and sauce slowly melt the cheese on top. The "cuts" come in square slices, and they serve them on rectangular trays as opposed to a traditional pie. It's an absolute must-stop every time my husband and I are back in Da Burgh.

My husband and I are on a pizza tasting of Pittsburgh and Beto's was next on our list. When you walk in, go straight to the counter and place your order. We got four pieces, one with toppings, and a large fountain drink, and it was under $13.00!!! The area to eat is super cute, and the food comes out super fast. The food comes out in a to go box with plastic plates. The cheese is not just extra it is a mound!!! The sauce was great and the size of the piece was so unique. The pizza was not thin or thick and was crispy!

Stopped here while in the area and headed back dahntahn. Beto's BEEN on a short list to try for pizza, and this Saturday I knew it was time. Came in during lunchtime hours and ordered a takeout slices trio: 2 cheese and one pepperoni. The staff seem friendly- straightforward progress and they could tell I was a first-timer. To be transparent, I'm not sure why it takes so long to get slices out - bc as I was waiting I'm watching them pull multiple large tray pizzas out and cut them - and it just seemed slow to me with filling orders. Though, I am not sure. For the pizza? It really works. I said then and I'll say now it's like what we as kids were thinking the lunchable pizza would have been - warm crust and sauce and cold cheese rather than crackers and cool sauce and cold toppings. Really liked this. A lot.

After hearing about this place for years, I finally happened to be in the area and decided to stop in. I truly had no idea what to expect but I have to say.... big fan. I'm the type of person that isn't afraid to pop a bunch of shredded cheese in my mouth while I'm making a pizza so it should have been a no brainer that I'd like this place. The warm, super crispy crust is such a nice contrast to the cold cheese. We tried a baked slice for comparison and agreed the cold version was much better! The cuts took about ten minutes to be ready. We ate in - the vibe is typical old school pizzeria. Nothing fancy but it's perfect.

I tried the staple pizza shop for the first time despite living so close for many years. My description is the adult sized lunchables - they're known for cold toppings, basically just thrown on the baked bread/sauce. It sounds strange in concept but it is so good!! I oversaw others getting takeout and they give you a bag of toppings. Interesting idea and unique, small seating area and overall comfortable dining area and yummy!

Heard about this local pizza place from watching Barstool Pizza reviews on YouTube. We just had to check them out. We ordered takeout. Was ready within the 30 minutes provided on a football Sunday. Good pizza, good crunchy crust. Lots of cheese! Would have liked a little more sauce but, that was a personal preference for the topping ratio. Even better in the air fryer for any leftovers. Cost was around $32 for 12 square cut pizzas slices. They were very busy. Small parking lot was available. We came. We saw. We tried!
