Pizzaiolo Primo Market Square - Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh - 8 Market Square, USA

Fantastic experience at Pizzaiolo Primo! Walked in and grabbed a spot at the bar. Bartender was personable and easy to laugh with. Got the small mixed salad to start and was pleasantly impressed by how fresh and good the salad was! Then got the diavolo pizza to eat on while reading and having another glass of wine. Had the best night, and ended up finishing my pizza as it was also incredibly fresh and delicious. I’m back next week for work and already intend on coming back to try their pasta!

This was our first time at the restaurant and it was a really great experience! Our waiter, Christian, was very attentive and personable and provided excellent service. All the other staff were extremely friendly and the manager came around a couple times to ensure we were having a good experience. The food was also fantastic - some of the best homemade pasta we’ve had in Pittsburgh! We will definitely be back!

Food is pretty good, service is great. Only seats around 80 people so better if your make a reservation. Has a small bar as well. Great location.

THEE BEST!! I was in Pittsburgh on a work trip and we went here 3 times because it was so good! Alfresco dining, fresh, delicious food, excellent wine and cocktails, great service. We had the stuffed banana peppers, fried mozzarella, salad, cacio e pepe pasta, spicy meatball pizza, and burrata pizza. My favorite combo was a glass of Sicilian rosé, salad, and spicy meatball pizza! But everything was wonderful. If I lived there, I would go every week! Beautiful food that speaks to your soul!

Bottom line up front: This is a great place for a romantic dinner date! We are originally from eastern Ohio and visit every December. Each time we always try to hit up Pittsburgh for either a nice dinner date and/or a Pens game. We tried this place this year and are so happy with the decision. This restaurant was incredible. Awesome staff, nice little quaint atmosphere and delicious food and drinks (shoutout to the bartender as her skills were impeccable). Plus you can park in the Hilton parking garage and walk around the corner. Highly recommend!

My sister and I came upon this restaurant more by accident while walking a few different squares, but I'm so glad we did! Dawn is a gem! She made my day so much brighter. I was feeling homesick and Dawn was so caring and attentive to both of us. She gave menu recommendations and showed genuine interest. The food was excellent! The entire place was very clean, and I liked the ambience inside. It was around noon, so very busy and the servers had their hands full the entire time. Note: It can feel tight rather quickly if you're sitting in the center row of tables near the front entrance. My only disappointment is that I did not have room for dessert! Would 10/10 recommend

A glass of draft Peroni and Funghi pizza…what more could a guy ask for! Super friendly service and nice front patio seating with great Sat afternoon music from the park. My kids don’t know what they are missing (going for “noodles”) down the street. :) This pic is all that is is left…amazing crust!!!

Very authentic Italian near a cool park downtown Pittsburgh. Service was lovely and the food delicious. Great wine selection as well.
