The Open View

For four star Italian, try Vincent's Pizza Park in Pittsburgh. Here's a place to get good food. This very affordable restaurant has been around for the last 50 years. It's known for its pizza. It's been awarded the Best of Cheap Eats and Best of Pizza awards. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This place is good for groups.
