🍕 I’VE NEVER HAD BETO’S PIZZA… SO LET’S SETTLE THIS! 🍕After all these years covering Pittsburgh and Western PA hidden gems, I have to admit something…I’ve NEVER had Beto’s Pizza in Pittsburgh. 😳And I know that’s probably going to get some strong opinions! 😂Beto’s is one of Pittsburgh’s legendary examples of Ohio Valley-style pizza — hot, crispy square-cut crust and sauce, followed by that signature fresh provolone added after the bake. (Beto’s Original Pizza)But here’s what I really want to know from the people who grew up around the Ohio Valley…👇 How does Beto’s compare to the pizza you grew up eating at places like Police Station Pizza in Ambridge or DiCarlo’s in Steubenville?🍕 Beto’s — Pittsburgh’s take on the tradition🍕 Police Station Pizza — an Ambridge institution known for its airy, crispy crust and cold cheese finish🍕 DiCarlo’s — the Steubenville original that helped create the Ohio Valley style back in 1945 (DiCarlo’s Pizza)And I’m not looking to tear anybody down.I LOVE that each place has its own personality while keeping this incredible regional pizza tradition alive. ❤️That hot crust + tangy sauce + cool provolone combination is something you really don’t get anywhere else.So I’m heading to Beto’s…🔥 Ohio Valley pizza people — WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?And be honest…If you had ONE choice: Beto’s, Police Station, or DiCarlo’s — which one are you taking? 🍕👇#BetosPizza #PittsburghPizza #OhioValleyPizza #PoliceStationPizza #DiCarlosPizza #PittsburghFood #WesternPA #SteelCity #Pizza #HiddenGems
