The Story
Aiello's Pizza has been a Squirrel Hill staple since 1978, sitting just steps from its friendly rival Mineo's on Murray Avenue. Family-owned and operated for over four decades, Aiello's is known for its gourmet pizzas, calzones, and hoagies.
The friendly competition between Aiello's and Mineo's has only made both shops better. Aiello's carved its own identity with a diverse menu that goes beyond traditional pizza, offering specialty pies and Italian favorites that keep regulars coming back week after week.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
In Pittsburgh, pizza is not just food. It is identity. Aiello's is one of the pillars of Murray Avenue's food scene, and the Aiello's-versus-Mineo's debate has been fueling friendly arguments in Squirrel Hill for nearly half a century. Both sides agree on one thing: Murray Avenue has the best pizza in the city.
