The famous Ohio Valley-style pizza that has been missing in the Pittsburgh area for almost a decade is returning soon.<\/p>\n
DiCarlo\u2019s square-style pizza with \u201cfresh cheese\u201d is currently working to open its newest location in Brookline.<\/p>\n
Located at 1200 Brookline Boulevard, the new DiCarlo\u2019s is right up the hill from its former location on Saw Mill Run Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Anna DiCarlo tells KDKA Radio her son Nick is the owner of the restaurant and has been around the business his entire life. They expect to open before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Nick is the great-nephew of founder Primo DiCarlo who opened the first location in Steubenville, Ohio in 1945.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe chose Brookline because when we were on saw Mill Boulevard, a lot of our customers were from Brookline,\u201d Anna tells KDKA Radio. \u201cInitially, we looked at Downtown Pittsburgh but my son said what about Brookline?\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna says DiCarlo\u2019s not being in Pittsburgh didn\u2019t feel right.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always wanted to come back, I think the most important reason is we\u2019re famous for the Ohio-Valley style pizza and Western PA is part of the Ohio Valley, along with Ohio and West Virginia.<\/p>\n
DiCarlo\u2019s on Saw Mill Run came back from fire but eight year ago, closed down due to property issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cit\u2019s been bothering me that we\u2019ve be absent from here,\u201d said Anna.<\/p>\n
Anna adds they wanted to open this past summer, but some red tape and other hurdles have kept them from being able to announce an official opening date.<\/p>\n
But, when they do open, Anna says her son and the rest of the team will be ready to make the famous square pizza with cheese put on after the oven you remember.<\/p>\n
Just don\u2019t call it \u201ccold cheese\u201d. Anna says they prefer fresh cheese.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you bite into a piece of our pizza, you can tell that we use real cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n
DiCarlo’s have several locations in Wheeling, Steubenville and several other areas in West Virginia and Ohio, along with one in Knoxville, TN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The famous Ohio Valley-style pizza that has been missing in the Pittsburgh area for almost a decade is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[16698,130616,130617,73,75,74,38807],"class_list":["post-322031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-brookline","tag-dicarlos-pizza","tag-ohio-valley-pizza","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pizzeria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
