Legendary Pittsburgh Pizza Place Opening Second Location

SHALER, PA — One of Pittsburgh's most iconic pizzerias will open a second location Wednesday here. The pizza place is located at the former Pizzarita's on Burchfield Road.

The opening date was announced on social media by Aiello's owners Cathy Aiello-Willis and her husband, Travis Willis.

"As a lifelong resident of Shaler, Cathy remembers her dad, Joe Aiello, always dreaming of owning this location - and when the opportunity arose, Travis and Cathy didn’t hesitate to jump in and make his dream finally come true," a recent Aiello's Facebook post stated.

We are looking forward to serving Shaler and surrounding communities just as we’ve served Squirrel Hill for the last
40+ years!"

The late Joe Aiello started the business in 1978 after working down the street at Mineo’s, another revered Squirrel Hill pizza place. The debate over which has the best pie has divided even the closest of families over the years.
