Beto's Pizza • 1953

Ohio Valley-style pizza reaches its eccentric peak at this Pittsburgh original, where squares of hot crust and sauce arrive blanketed in cold shredded provolone—a combination that has divided diners since 1953. Beto's skips the traditional pie format entirely, selling pizza only by the individual square cut, a quirk that locals either swear by or swear off. The polarizing formula has survived seven decades in a city that takes its pizza seriously.
