Messina's Pizza & Restaurant

Messina's Pizza, tucked into the heart of Gibsonia near the bustling intersection of Middle Road and Route 19, has become a neighborhood staple for pizza lovers in the western suburbs of Pittsburgh. The family‑run eatery opens its doors at 11 a.m. Monday through Thursday and stays lively until 10 p.m., extending to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, while Sundays are reserved for a well‑earned rest. Inside, red‑checkered tablecloths, vintage Italian posters, and the aroma of wood‑fired ovens create a warm, casual atmosphere that invites both quick lunches and relaxed dinner gatherings. The menu showcases classic New York‑style slices, hand‑tossed thin‑crust pies, and signature creations such as the Messina’s Supreme, loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and a drizzle of garlic‑infused olive oil. Veggie lovers can enjoy the Margherita with fresh basil or the Mediterranean blend featuring artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and feta. All dishes are prepared fresh, and the daily specials rotate to highlight seasonal toppings and limited‑time offers. While the restaurant does not partner with GrubHub, Uber Eats, or Postmates, it welcomes direct phone orders for take‑out or delivery at (724) 449‑9720, ensuring speedy service. Prices range from $8 for a personal slice to $18 for a large specialty pie, offering great value for families and groups. Parking is ample in the adjacent lot, and the friendly staff are happy to recommend the perfect pairing of a cold craft beer from local breweries or a soft‑serve soda for kids. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor exploring the historic Allegheny County suburbs, Messina’s Pizza delivers a genuine taste of Italian comfort food with a Pittsburgh twist.
