Scrumptious pizza, consumed greedily on the steps of a nearby business, before a show at Mr. Small's. Staff so nice and helpful.

I definitely didn't think this one through, but my pizza was delicious. I stopped by randomly because I was hangry and needed something quick. Having never been, I didn't know it was a takeout counter only. Just a bench for waiting and that's it for seating. No problem, as I just wanted a couple slices in a hurry and would happily scarf them in the car. The slices came out quickly enough and were piping hot and fresh. They put them in a box for me and I thankfully grabbed a couple napkins on the way out the door. Once I got in the car, I realized my error - these are messy slices with sauce on the top. I ate them anyway and enjoyed them thoroughly. Word to the wise though - take your pizza home and use a plate. LOL.

Tried the white pizza and it did not disappoint. My only complaint was i could so with less of the caramelized onions or even none and maybe more tomatoes. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the pie. At first glance it seemed a little small and pricey at $18=1 pie/6 slices but it was super filling! And the crust....the crust was perfect! Perfectly crispy on the edges, airy and light and not too heavy. Heaven in a bite. If you like pizza that isn't your normal plain jane pizza, try this!!! I can't wait to try more pies from here.

I know some east coast pizza snobs who turn their noses up at this sort of pie and I'm just fine with that. More for me and anyone else who loves a perfectly doughy yet crisp Sicilianesque crust with a tangy tomato sauce There is not much that I can complain about with Iron Born other than eating it every day would probably kill me and I crave it any time I think about. Like right now. While writing this review. God I'm triggered.

It's time to stop kidding myself. I like to tell myself that Neapolitan pizza is my favorite, but then why do I constantly end up running to any Detroit style pizza place that I find? It's simply irresistible. If you know, you know. And in the world of Detroit style, Iron Born is king. From the days of Smallman galley, I was hooked. A massive menu of insane pizza creations, both white and red tops....all sitting on the best pizza crust you'll find anywhere. The deep crunch of a Detroit pizza is unmatched. The Forager is a can't miss....garlic cream, roasted mushrooms, ricotta, and drizzled with honey. Hits the spot every single time. Iron Born is honestly the best Detroit pizza I've experienced anywhere, and that's included in Detroit itself. Although just a few times per year, I've been visiting Pittsburgh on business for almost a decade now. In the early days I'd try new places. I'm not ashamed to admit that over the past 5 years I have not had anything in Pittsburgh but iron born. It's that good.

Thick crust, Sicilian-style pizza, totally delicious. Take out only. Build your own pizza or pick one of the menu options.
