Iron & Basil is serving takeout at 412 Perry Highway in West View, but diners should check its operating format before planning a sit-down meal. As checked October 13, 2026, the restaurant’s official homepage still states that it is currently open for takeout only.

That notice matters because other parts of the same website describe brunch, dinner, cocktails, private dinners and table reservations. Those descriptions do not establish that the dining room and bar have opened. Call 412-282-8300 for the current service format rather than treating a reservation form as confirmation.

A phased opening in the former DiPietro’s

Kristy Graver’s August 5 report in Pittsburgh Magazine documented the takeout launch in the former DiPietro’s Ristorante. Her report identifies owners Katie and Terry Malsch and chef Michael Wedge, with the dining room and bar then planned for fall. The former restaurant operated from 1979 to 2023, according to that reporting.

The August story listed takeout hours of 11 a.m.–8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. These are dated opening-period hours, not a newly verified October schedule. The current ordering page displays differing next-opening times in its header and footer, so confirm the desired pickup time directly.

Compare pizza, hoagies and pasta sizes

The official takeout menu lists 16-inch pizzas, including cheese at $17, Margherita at $20 and Pesto Vegetable at $22. The Sunday Sauce Arriabiata pizza is listed at $26 and combines pork belly, meatballs, sausage, banana peppers, onions and an Italian cheese blend.

Hoagies have explicit half and whole prices: the Italian is $12/$18, steak $13/$19 and meatball $11/$17. For pasta, the website uses paired prices, including $16/$26 for spaghetti and meatballs and $18/$27 for spinach agnolotti. The ordering page separately labels small pasta portions, which helps distinguish the lower price from a full-size order.

Chicken Parmesan is listed at $18/$32, while veal Parmesan is $35 for a full portion only. Verify the chosen size and current total when ordering; the displayed menu prices do not establish a final bill with any applicable extras or charges.

Use the ordering page to check the actual selection

The homepage links to the Iron & Basil Toast ordering page. Its listings include pizza choices beyond the main website’s shorter selection, such as White, Buffalo Chicken and Mediterranean. Availability indicators and checkout choices should be checked for the selected pickup time.

There are also ingredient differences between the two menus. The main site describes Pappardelle Bolognese with a Luganega sausage blend and soffritto; Toast describes beef, veal, pork and mirepoix. Do not assume those descriptions are interchangeable when an ingredient matters. Toast specifically directs dietary or special requests to the restaurant by phone so accommodations can be confirmed.

For a group order, settle the service format, portion sizes and pickup window before committing to a plan. Our Iron & Basil profile links the official menu and contact information. This is published opening background and current planning information, not a restaurant review or confirmation of a completed dining-room opening.
