There’s Nothing Better Than The Pizza And Gelato From This Cozy Pittsburgh Restaurant

When’s the last time you visited Shadyside? Went window shopping along Walnut Street? Perhaps stopped in at Prantl’s Bakery for some of their famous burnt almond torte? Shadyside’s an idyllic neighborhood to spend a few relaxing hours shopping and eating. And, you’ll have plenty of delicious choices for where to eat. Like this cozy Pittsburgh restaurant that serves authentic wood-fired pizza and taste-tantalizing gelato.

Tucked on a corner of Walnut Street in Shadyside, Mercurio's promises a flavorful experience with its Neapolitan pizza and award-winning gelato.

So, find a seat in the cozy eatery that serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients.

Breathe in the aroma of pizza cooking in the stone oven as you peruse the menu that's bursting with salads, paninis, and, of course, pizza.

Start your meal with an appetizer, like the caprese or bruschetta. Then, again, a salad - the house salad, for example - pairs well with pizza.

So, what type of pizza do you prefer? White or traditional red? White pizzas include the porchetta, topped with Italian pork, oregano, and burrata.

Or, if a red sauce is more to your liking, check out the traditional marinara, for example, which is topped with tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano.

Of course, you've got to save room for the award-winning gelato. Choose from such tantalizing flavors as death by chocolate, peanut butter cup, and birthday cake.

Sit down to piping hot pizza and refreshing gelato at Mercurio's, which is open Sunday and Monday from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Mercurio's Pizza and Gelato is located at 5523 Walnut St., Pittsburgh, PA 15232.
