Est. 1990 · Shadyside, Pittsburgh
Our Story
On S. Highland Avenue since 1990. Same scratch-made recipe. Same community. Same commitment.
Where It Started
A Pittsburgh Original, Built From Scratch
Pizza Perfectta opened at 258 S. Highland Avenue in 1990 with a clear ambition: create a pizza Pittsburgh hadn't tasted yet. Real, scratch-made pizza built from scratch-made dough, scratch-made sauces, and ingredients sourced fresh every single day.
Since 1990, Perfectta has earned a place in Shadyside's fabric — feeding generations of neighbors, students, families, and late-night cravings. The address hasn't changed. The commitment to the craft hasn't changed.
Decades later, that commitment hasn't wavered. The same craft, same standards, same neighborhood — and the same obsession with getting every order right.
